Hi all. This sounds great. Count me in, hope Im not too late. Im 5'6 want to loose 15lbs (7kgs) - 3 months sounds like the perfect amount of time. Im a Kiwi, from New Zealand and it is just in time for summer. Im sure Aussie annabomb would agree would feel great to loose a bit of beef for summer.

My stats: SW 146lbs (66kg)

aug12====144(65.3)

GW - 125

aug15====140lbs (63.5kg) - Morning all it is 8am in New zealand and I am down 4 pounds yay!.. hope thats not all water weight. But, I will weigh myself same time again next friday to see.

aug22====142lbs - BUGGER! Had a bit of a not so disciplined wk starting from last wkend. Was feelin the guilts but, Im over it now and will get back on track. The goal is still in sight.  Hope to get down 2lbs by next weigh in.

aug29===139lbs - YESSSSS!! Under the 140 mark. Have been very strict this week and Im glad feels great to get on the scale and see it under what you expect after the last 2 wks.

sept 5===?? 3rd day of sunny Gold coast. Too scared to look at the scale, let alone jump on it.

sept 12===145 - arse!! well I guess I got a little carried away while on holiday - 0 exercise + 0 diet + too much goodies = + weight. Oh well, got to start from the beginning again.

 I did my weigh ins today because it is Friday in NZ forgot you may be day behind. I have posted already. Good luck everyone!

LOL I wish i could use my weigh in from today (thursday) as my weight in for tomorrrow before a million slices of pizza. LOL Can i say I am in NZ? :)

have weighed in folks at 8am GB time! Do we want a group loss running total? (so far this week its 39.1lbs!) have a brill ace day folks

39.1lbs = 2.97 stone

aug 15-168.4

Keep motivated everyone!  Happy weekend.

SW=209  CW=197 GW=139.5 GW(Nov 7)=171

aug10=197

aug15=197

This is going to be hard! It looks as though I haven't lost anything this week, but in between weigh-ins, I've been up to as high as 200.5. I hope this means I'm on the down path again. . But my trendline is down to 197.25, which is the lowest it's ever been. Wish me luck over the weekend. If I stay on target, it'll be my 3rd weekend in a row that was successful!

Yay! First week down....

Aug 10 = 174

Aug 15 = 171.6

aug10===134.8

agu15===134.2

I think that this week I have been retaining lots of water.

aug10== 166.8

aug15== 163.8 !!

I just got done with ttom, and I have been eating quite well this week, and getting in quite a bit of exercise... so I am not so sure I will keep losing at this rate!

URGGGGG!!! I just got back from the gym and I'm still 153... What's going on???  I ate well (at or just below daily recommendations) ran 4 days, biked to school 3 days and I still lost no weight? Frustrating to say the least! New goal: lose 2 pounds by next week...

Congrats to everyone for making it past the first week!!!  Keep up the hard work!

 Hi Kaleigh - don't beat yourself up about it, hey atleast you didn't go up, so that's good too. I try to have atleast 500 to 1000 deficit between total burn and intake - this should equate to about a pound to 2 pounds off per wk. slow and safe. Also, try weighing yourself after wees and other stuff and in the nude if you want to get a better weight gage.

Aug 10 - 165 (even though I lied, I was 166 ;P)

Aug 15 - 165.5

Lost .5, but I weighed at 6:30 after dinner, so I assume it's less than that, but I'll just have to get the real number another day :)

My goal is 163 by next week!
