Hi Everyone! Glad to see so many people check in last Monday - hope there are lots of us again this week - it's really great motivation to read about how everyone else is doing.

Motivation: Loose the weight that I gained during pregnancy before my next birthday (10/13)!
Last week I did okay - No sweets goal was met but I didn't exercise three days (ugggg) having a six month old makes it so hard to find time to exercise. I just want to sleep instead :) I'm trying to exercise more rather than cutting a ton of calories since I am still breast feeding and need to make sure I eat enough to produce enough for the baby.
Food/Fitness goal for this week: Still no sweets - Cardo on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Yoga on Tuesday and Thursday.

Motivation: 9/16 - Fit into size 6 dress comfortably. 11/20 - Look and feel great for Europe trip
Food/Fitness goal for this week: Food - No eating out, except on Thursday when I must, but find the best food choice and take home leftovers. No sweets!!! (Problem this last weekend). Exercise - Workout 6 times including body conditioning class tomorrow and zumba class on Thursday.
24/08: 145
31/08: 150 (All my fault... might be a pound or two lower once yesterday's binge digests. Never happening again!) I have never been more disappointed in myself. I was on a great track until yesterday when I went CRAZY in the kitchen. All those cookies, licorise, and frozen yogurt made me feel no where close to as good as I felt on 8/24 weighing 145.

I was on holidays, and sort of overate for half the holiday, the other half was on target--didn't exercise except for walking a lot, building sand castles, etc. Not sure how I lost the weight, but I used a different scale today, which could be why. Hope it doesn't change when I get back home. :)
Food/Fitness goal for this week: stick to 1300-1400 calories, do cardio in the morning, bowflex in the evening, and go to bed early.

HELLO!!
Well i have been in a weight loss group on here for about 2 months now but that group is over so i need a new group to keep me motivated! I am currently deployed to Iraq and my husband is in Afghanistan so i want to be SUPER hot by the time we get home!! I "might" have gained some depression weight in the last few months before my deployment last year... So since i have been here i have started a really great work out routine and strict diet which has helped me lose 24 pounds!! (in 8 months) but this last 10-15 pounds is being really stubborn.. So i wish you the best and hope that we all make our goals!
Beginning Weight: 146 5ft 7 1/2 in
MOTIVATION: To look fabulous for my husband when i see him in March (for the first time in 10 months)
Food/Fitness goal for this week: Eat 4 times a day (2 meals, 2 snaks), keep the calories under 1500, eat WAY more protein and fiber and keep with my 5X a week workout plan!!!

I would love to join this group! I have had some issues with staying on tract and I'm trying desperately now to lose about 15-20 pounds and tone up the extra "meaty" areas..lol!!! I am getting married in a little over 5 months on the beach in florida and I want to look my absolute best while I'm down there. I would love to get feedback on different exercise routines and "delicious" health food choices. I don't really look at this change as a diet per say but a change in the right direction to live healthier!! I hope to hear some helpful replies and wish everyone the best of luck in your goals!!!

I have to admit that my eating over the weekend has been terrible, which is (hopefully) the reason that I have gone up, albeit only slightly. I have kept going with the exercise and can't really do any more than I am, so I really have to work on my food intake.
Goal weight: 106
Motivation: Lose the weight that I put on over the 2 years I was at boarding school before I go travelling (on a gap year atm), and hopefully by my birthday (1st November)
Food/Fitness goal for this week: Watch the foods I eat and especially make sure that I do not eat the biscuits/cake in the staff room. Continue with interval training.

This is a little late in the game, but Hi.

Well, my weight is 124 again back on my own scale. The 121 was from a different scale. Sigh. Gotta keep working. This is so slow, I've been so true to my goals this week and the scale didn't move. Maybe next week?
Food/Fitness goal for this week: stick to 1300-1400 calories, do cardio in the morning, bowflex in the evening, and go to bed early.

Figure out what type of eater you are and you might just find the answer to permanent weight loss.
Take the Diet Profile Test and learn to avoid the pitfalls and self-sabotage that often come with your personal profile.
