Hi Everyone,

I am new to CC and counting calories in general. Here is some background info, I am 5'1 and now 118 pounds (EEEEK) live in NYC. My whole life untill the past 8 months i have consistently weight 102-103. I now work in Fashion in the corporate offices so i sit on my butt all day long, combined with eating out with my boyfriend every night i gained about 15 pounds!!! I am looking to get down back to 102 by Novemeber 21, our one year anniversary trip in Mexico. I need some help and motivation.

I am currently training with a trainer 2 times a week at my gym, and doing cardio three other times a week. I HATE cardio though. My life is SUPER busy, work weekday from 9-7 and go out almost everynight. i now only go out to eat once or twice a week and cook the other night (huge improvement over eating out at resturants EVERYNIGHT, nyc food is amazing).

Anyone here have the same goal of losing 15 pounds but have a super busy lifestyle??

Any tips or pointers?

Hi!

I'm 27 and looking to lose 15 pounds by November too.  My lifestyle is not always condusive to working out and I don't have access to a gym.  I usually run or bike when the weather is nice or do workout videos and weight training in my apartment when I can't go outside.  I typically workout 4-5 times per week.

I'm pretty new to CC.  I've only been a member for 1 week, but it has made a HUGE difference in my eating habits.  I feel accountable for what I'm eating and it forces me to make healthier choices.  I am 5'8 and 165 pounds.  I'd like to try and get down to 150 pounds.  My lowest weight, back in college, was 138, but I think a healthy weight for me is between 145-150.

How has everything been going for you?  Do you feel like you've made progress?
