30 lbs by January 1st, 2008---***CLOSED***

Hello all,

I have been looking through the forums and all the cool 'loose by this date' posts are closed so I wanted to start a new one. According to the site this is a healthy goal if starting throughout the month of September. So your first post should be your current height, weight, bmi and goal weight.

Check in to post sucess, frustration and whatever else you need to talk about to keep you on track.

I'll start

Hi, I forgot to post my last "weigh in" - I am down a pound! now at 164!

Oh I keep losing track of all these weigh ins.  Anyway, never mind, as of this morning I'm down 5lbs to 189 - go me!

xx

I know it's not technically weigh-in day, but I'm down to 182 as of this morning- 7 pounds down, 12 more to January goal. Woot.

Hey all!

I'm new to this forum, but I would love to join in!  I am so excited about finding this website.

I'm 25, Female

SW= 228

CW=196

BMI= 29.6

GW(by January 1)= 164(finally in my healthy weight range!)

 

Tonight, I went out and for the first time in ages and felt really good in my own skin. I'm amazed by what a little bit of exercise and healthy choices can do for your body and self esteem. There's really not a better feeling out there.

Good Luck to everyone!

hey! im new to this site as well

im 5"4

154 pounds

want to be: 138 pounds by jan

so 16 pounds to lose

we can do this if we help motivate each other!!

Hey guys,

Here I am. Late on the posting again. Sorry about that. Things at work have finally slowed down so I actually have some time to breathe again. Whew!

It looks like everyone is LOOSING I love it. Keep up the great work. There are stalls being broken and some new joins. I am so happy that the thread is active. I am sure that we can keep this way despite the fact that I have to close it. At this point the goal of a 30lb loss by January is not a healthy one if you haven't already started. We have to think of our health first. THat is the whole point, right?

I am down to 149. 3lbs loss so far and I am ecstatic. As long as the scale keeps goin down I am happy. I haven't seen the 140s in months and this thread is such a pivotal point for my sucess. Thanks guys and lets keep it going!!

HELLO MY NAME IS TIFFANY

SW: 162

CW: 158

GW: 125-130

I'M CC AND ALSO DOING SLIM IN 6

Monday weigh in:  212

Woot!!!  That's down 6 from when I started this thread! 

1/1/08 Goal:  185

It seems that since I bumped up to 1700 cal a day I am losing a bit faster.  Also, I feel great, so definitely I'm at the right calorie level!  I've stared doing some light weight training at the gym, so I'm also trying to work a little more protein into my days. 

There's a lot of success on this thread.  Let's keep it up everyone!! 

hey all! Sounds like everyone is doing wonderful!!!

I am so inspired by all of you! Keep up the losing!!!

Bigloser32- would you like some help maintaining this thread???

I'm really bored at work right now LOL, and wouldn't mind putting a spreadsheet together with everyone who currently posts here with their stats... (name, height, weight, etc). Let me know, It would be NO problem!!! thanks :)

Oooooh, I would LOVE to see a spreadsheet with everyone's progress!! 

I think seeing everyone is a nice spreadsheet would be great! that's why I offered to do it! I just don't want to step on anyone's toes... I don't want Bigloser32 to think I'm trying to take over this thread- just want to help out is all!!!

thanks guys!

tomorrow is the weigh in.. well the "official" one anyhow... YIKES! I'm NERVOUS!!!!

Bigloser32- still let me know if you want me to spreadsheet this.. I haven't heard back from ya! Thanks!!

Oh a spreadsheet would be a great idea! I think it would bring a sense of collaboration and belonging to this group.

About the weigh-in?? I think bi-weekly is confusing. I'm not sure what day I'm supposed to "officially" weigh-in, as there seem to be several.

Help? 

I know what u mean themachine.  I try to keep updated but am so confused about when the "official" weigh in days are.  I know fatnr11 said it's today but I thought the official one was every other Wen.  LOL  Just watching and waiting for everyone else to start to post them.  LOL

themachine and shellbysmomma

That is totally my bad. I must have mis-understood the posts....

Apparently the weigh in's are the 1st and 3rd Wednesday's of each month. Twice a month? No offense to anyone- but I don't think I like that... I think once a week at least....

So, according to bigloser32, the weigh in should take place on the 3rd Wed. of this month- would be Oct. 17....

Hmm... Does anyone else agree we should do weekly? And maybe on a Tuesday?

I like the wednesday weigh in, personally.  And I don't see there being a problem if someone wanted to weigh in every week.  Especially if they had a reason to brag :)

The spreadsheet is a great idea! 

Anyway, I'm only down a lb in the last two weeks...better than nothin at all right?  Anyway, I'm happy with it...only 10 weeks to go, so I'm not going to make my goal, but as long as I'm still going down I will be a happy camper!

Good luck to all!

Weekly weigh ins might make the thread more active/alive again.

I'm down to 144 

gw: 135

gw2: 125

Hope I make it it's been hard and the holidays are coming! 

Littlebytes, you'll make it!  I have faith!  I'm hopin for 155 by 12/31, so we can do it together!  One lb a week should be easy right ;)

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!
