Losing the last 20 pounds Challenge

 I want to lose another 20 pounds by October, so about 3 pounds a month.  I hear the last 10 - 20 are the hardest to lose since you are already a healthy weight, so I'm making it my summer challenge.  Weighing in every Friday and trying to make sure to hit a 3 pound lost every first of the month.  Anyone want to join in?

female, 25, 5 4, 147.

I'm certainly up for this challenge. I need to lose 20 pounds by September 21. (Well hopefully before!) And I could sure use all the friends I can get in this! Have you recently lost a lot of weight? I ask because you said the "last 10-20" I have, I know this is how I feel... I'm already so much better off than I was... I really shouldn't have to work THAT hard should I??? hahaha, but I do. :) Besides, I want to look hot as hell on my honeymoon, and maybe break out my first ever 2 piece!!

Any particular reason you chose October?

I am totally up for the challenge.  I am also looking to lose 20 lbs by October.  I want to go to a family reunion looking drop-dead fabulous.  My stats are 27, 5'2", cw:140, gw: 120.

Count me in. I am 5'5, 164 pounds, and I want to get to 144. I will re-evaluate there, and see if i want to do 130, But I am sure 140-144 is where I want to be.

I am in as well! This sounds like a great idea.  I am 5'4 ish, 152 pounds (down from 163), and my goal is 130.  Ideally I would like 125, but I'll see how I feel and look once I get there.  I haven't been there for years!  So we will weigh in on Fridays, starting tomorrow, the 9th?

Thanks for starting this thread!

Hi Ladies, I'm 5'2, 167lbs today(down from 186lbs) and my goal is 147lbs- 20lbs exactly! So I'd like to join too please- the more motivation the better!

My weigh-in is on a Monday though? I guess I could post on a Friday too as I weigh everyday anyway! LOL!

I'm in. I'm 28 (almost) 5'6 166 pounds, would like to be 140-145 so around 20 pounds. I've also started running again (1/2 Marathon plan) so I'm hoping it will help get the last 20 pounds off, I was 200 pounds almost 3 years ago and have maintained my current weight since then (fluxuated about 10 pounds, was as low as 153 when I was in the hospital last May, not a healthy way to lose weight), it's time to shed the last of it! Let's keep each other motivated!

Week One: 164

Week 2: 168lbs - 0lbs loss () but totm is due so hopefully that'll explain it?

Week 2: 155.4 - 3.6 lb loss!  I'm pretty sure I was retaining quite a bit of water when I posted last week... water weight is down, at least!

It's two weeks in ,so your group may be closed, but my challenge   (lose 10 lb before my vacation 5-24) ends soon......    

I appreciate having an accountabilty check in i.e weigh in every week.  And I like your challenge of 3 lbs a month.  I think I can do it.  

I'm big on jogging with my doggie, but now my knees are killing me  (doctor today).  I feel like I know how to eat and count cals well enough that this it a lifestyle forever vs. a diet for me.  I like working out.  I am addicted to cc journaling and my posts.  I just like this place.   isn;t cc awesome? 

anywho -- if you are full, I understand, but pretty please?  ( ;
