Motivation Why are you doing this? Apr 04 2007

I have put on weight in college and desperately want to lose it.

According to BMI I am overweight and need to get into range.

Health problems run in my family.

Going on 2 vacations this year and want to look good in a bathing suit.

Tired of seeing the skinnier girls wearing the cute things.

I'm 5'2'' and I want to fit into the petite clothes in stores.
Motivation 140/130 club Apr 04 2007

good morning.

I've just broken the 140 barrior and now am at 139.6.  If feels good to finally be in the 130's, but now I need to get into the 120's.  I only have 9 weeks left to go until my vacation.  My goal is to lose 1.7 pounds per week to get there.  I count calories and vary my intake everyday.  I workout on the elliptical and burn between 300-400 calories each time, I do zone pilates, and kickboxing.  Does anyone have any more advice at what I can be doing?  My goal is to be at 125 by June 7th.  Just in case you need to know, I'm 5'2''

Thanks! 

Emily

I am in a similar situation like you are.  I am in a wedding in August and started out as barely fitting into a size 10.  I didn't realize how much I had gained since going to college.  I have been dieting since the beginning of February and have lost 10 pounds so far and have dropped 1 pants size.  I have been counting calories, doing pilates, and kickboxing.  If you haven't ever tried kickboxing before, you may want to!  I found a great workout DVD on ebay and I use it everyday.  It's absolutely amazing and it's so much fun!  Pilates is also a nice way to tone and firm up those problem areas.  I know how you feel and it's a tough road!  Just keep going and you'll feel better!
