Group? 10lbs by july??

I am 5'9 140..looking to drop 10 by the time I go see my boyfriend in Los Angelos (July 17th) anyone want to form a support group..I need motivation!!

Hey everyone...how was the weekend?
bluezett, thanks for the encouragement :) I actually threw out the cheetos this morning (didn't eat any more after that binge night)...did better than usual this weekend, and even went for a 45 min bike ride on sunday...usually my weekends are pretty non exercise oriented...but...I'm at 179.2 this morning   which means I'm up from both friday...and my weigh in last monday...BUT on the upside (majorly!) I biked to work for the first time this week. It's 6.8 miles 1 way, and I'll have to do the same going back. I can only do that 2x this week, but I'm hoping to make it a regular thing. So...need to drop 2lb by friday...and to be honest...I won't be completely crushed if I don't make it allll the way there. I've made waaaay more progress in these last 6 weeks being part of this group than I did for months before that!

Anyone interested in doing another 10lb goal after we hit our July mark? Congrats to everyone who stayed on track and lost this last week!

Hello,

You are welcome johgar....I ate kinda crappy this weekend. But I seem to still stay in my calorie count..but I dont eat as many times....

I am game for another 10...Well includung the 6 I still have to loose..LOL..so that will put me at 146....Sure!!!! Hopefully I can loose more this time. I am goind to try some things suggested to me. I have been stuck in this spot for too fricken long..

On a good note, when I ride my motorcycle to work I burn about 133 cals. Really, I looked.. :)

I have only lost 2lb in 5 weeks!

I must speed things up :/

ah jessicakait dont feel bad iv only lost three, but at least its three from where i was. Im actually kinda proud of my three lbs bc iv maintained it and im slowly losing more =o)

oh and i missed my weigh in last fri so ill just post now 122.5

ahhhh!!! I binged again last night! I figured out that I ate just over 3,000 cals yesterday!!! There goes my 900 I burned in exercise! grrrr! why do I self sabotage?

do you write down your meals? I see that if I have a planned menu and then check off what I eat that day this helps. If you eat something that isn't on there then you will watch how your patterns go. this helped me. Also when at the store.... never put anything in your cart that you wish "had not eaten". These tricks help me.

Thanks adage
I actually don't plan out my meals more than a few hours ahead of time because I'm already struggling with logging the calories I eat most days of the week (usually don't log in on weekends)...and I think that would just push me over the edge. I think I'm just rebelling a little this week against the unfairness of having to watch everything I eat or else I become a big blog. Drank 7 beers last night...damn boyfriend can put away 5000 cals a day and still stay in his 10lb range 190-200ish...so not fair!!!
As much as I've been overeating this week, at least I've been keeping my exercise consistent. I realized the other day that I'm down almost 30lb (29) from last September...and I'm not GAINING a lot...which is the most important. I only have 18-20lb to go...which in comparison to the weight that I've already lost is not tooooo terrible. On the whole I make healthy choices...but I think without my bad days, I would probably go insane. I seriously love this group though...it's not massive, and it helps me be accountable every week :) Always nice to know I'm not the only one struggling.

alrighty everyone. I'm going to do my final weigh in today, because I'm off work tomorrow, and won't be logging on. So I didn't make goal , but...I'm not tooooo upset, because I've still lost 8lb in the last 6 weeks being part of this group.
SW for CC: 195 (late Feb)
SW for this group: 187
CW: 179
GW: 160 ish
So who wants to start another goal date...and what date should it be? I'm thinking Labor day...Sept 1.
Serious congratulations to everyone who made their goals!!!

johgar, you can do it! Don't get upset, understand that it takes time. try not to be so hard on yourself. I have affirmations that work for me. my trainer gave me one. It is hanging on my wall at work. I will get it and write it down for you.

Hello Group! Today is my end day! The reason why I joined this group is cause I leave tonight for my sailing trip.

I was unsure of my weight at the start I think I was 124-126. my body fat was 28%.

Today I am 120, and 24% body fat. 

my goal was 115 and 20% but, i feel great. So I am going to keep going until i reach my goal. I wish I hit my goal by the date I wanted which was today, but the lesson I learned is I have to be happy where I am. I have to be happy at my accomplishments even if they are smaller then I hoped. i have to Love myself and good things will come. they may not happen when we want but they do happen!

HAPPY 4th of july!!! good luck. And thank you all for being there I really enjoyed hearing about you seeing how well you did! you really helped me!!!!

 

Everyone did great! I went on vacation for a week so I did not count calories but I did watch a bit what I ate. Anyway, I'm the same weight as before I left so yay! johgar, 8lbs is awesome! I think we could set another date for another 10 lbs! Maybe labor day? Let me know!

yup im also doing my last weigh in today because i wont be on tomorrow....im at 121!

sw:127

cw:121

gw:122
