Want to loose final 10 or so pounds before New Years?

Hi,

i'm strong willed and motivated. i want someone similar to get through the seven weeks to the new year. i have my last 11lbs to loose and i want to do this with someone else. It keeps it challenging and dare i say fun if im racing with someone else towards that finish line.

the problem i have is if people i'm working with give up it gets me down too, i tried a short term challenge on CC and a lot of people on it gave up before the challenge was over, i didnt and i need someone who wont either.

someone to keep in touch on a day to day basis would be great. Let me know if your up for it.

My stats are:

SW: 154
CW:135.5
GW: 124 by new years day 

I will! I will! Pick me!

I have about 11 to go myself -I really want to just get it off!

I am not so good about being on the computer too much during the weekend - but I will check in at least once a day, but during the week I am on all the time! 

CW - 141.5

GW - 131

hi see you guys have me smilling already. lets get this done! i am so in the mood to ditch these last pounds and buy nice clothes that fit me! (everything else is too big and i dont want to buy till i hit goal)

bfondario, my name is Sonal, i'm 26 and 5'3.5 i can check in daily too. that would be fab.

waelkd, i used to be into muay thai too, i was in the fittest shape ever then, that was 6 years ago. you must be wicked if your fighting. i love it but cant find anywhere decent to train locally.

also e-mail me anytime.

i'm officially starting tomorrow. i'll weight myself then eat well and basically get on with it!

is that too soon for anyone? or would u prefer a monday start?

2 b  honest with u i started my diet like 4 days ago so apologie,not early at all.

Well I hate to say it but I am at 142 this morning! Dang - I know it is only a half pound but I seriously let that affect my whole day. I know that is stupid - right!?!?  I usually get up and take my son with me for a morning jog, however I am just starting to feel better as I have had strep throat, I think I might not push myself to run today - maybe go for walk or something, but seriously I need to get as much rest as I can as I have been going hard for weeks now. I don't know the day is young - I always say I am going to take a day off and then just cant do it in the end, but really I should let my body get well before I keep pushing. 

I hope everyone has a good Saturday! I think we will get to 75 today so it should be nice outside.  

totally down for the challenge!!! i'm 5'7" at 145 lb aiming for a clean 135 lb by new years. definitely need the support to get there, i just don't have enough motivation on my own! good luck and i'll check in tomorrow!

Hi,

i weighted half a pound more too this morning so have 12 to loose, i've a got a few exams next week so for the next two weeks i wont get any exercise in so i'll concerntrate on the eating side of things. after the 22nd Nov i plan to exercise a lot up right up till new years

grrr...the power went out at my gym so i can't exercise today :( i have to be somewhere in an hour for class and that will take up the rest of the day. sadness! i guess i'll just have to pray the power's on tomorrow. hope all is well with you!

yesterday i did no muaythai training at all, just punching bag,did 21 rounds  2 minutes each,weighed  5 pounds less,but i know its water yet it makes u feel good to c how fast u think u can lose w8.

jebollz that is crap, the powers gone? oh well theres really not much you can do about, hope you enjoyed your day! I'm still not exercising. one more week till exams are over then no excuses i have to get out there and feel the burn.

waelkd awesome five pounds! it wont all be water, i bet 21 rounds worked up a sweat. have fun training.

hope everyones doing ok

See post 14!

wow, that's kinda harsh...but true, it is a sorry excuse. luckily the power came on just in time to get in a good 30 min run before my classes (i should explain i live in a sort of dorm situation in egypt, where the gym is actually in the same building) anyways today was a great day because i went for a run at a sporting club for a good hour, felt amazing afterwards. i haven't weighed myself in a while, but i haven't been cheating on the eating either...hopefully it's going well...

 

vanillivi-26 best of luck on the tests. i know you may not have the time, but even if you can go for a 20 min jog or something it helps so much with the studying. during finals i use gym time as break time.  best of luck everyone!

NOOOOO!!! i didnt mean that your making excuses! i meant that its crap that the gyms not got any power and you couldnt go.

Sorry i didnt realise it could be read that way, wow i just re read it, sounds nasty. i was rushed and didnt read it before posting. forgive me if i hurt your feelings!

ps. well done for going out for that run :) whats it like in egypt weather wise? im in the UK and its freezing. i cant imagine jogging out there! will have to find some other form of exercise. ill be back to playing 5 hours of badminton a week soon so that should make some difference i guess.   

lol, no worries ;-P it was soooo ****! luckily it's on now, hopefully it'll keep on. the weather's getting better, it's been cooling down (thank god!) but it's the pollution that'll get you :( really the healthiest way to exercise is in the gym, which i'm not gonna lie, i've always been more of an outdoorsy person so running on a treadmill is like running on a hamster wheel to me :( but at least i'm running! lol the UK would be FREEZING! geez...i bet badminton is really good for you. i've never played but it looks fun. how is studying going? best of luck!

Hi! Just thought I would check in and see how everyone was doing/feeling - how are we doing?

I am good - started off good this week and feeling like I just might be able to drop this last 11 pounds - that will be what I have been shooting for for over a year. I wonder if that will be good enough.

How about everyone else?
