come join if you are starting/starting over in may!
hi everyone! i need a pick me up because since my birthday on may 1 and TOM and then mother's day, ive been slacking. i'm also retaining water from starting to work out again. i noticed a lot of people are starting/starting over right now and figured i'd make a thread where we can all band together.
so answer these questions
when are you starting: may 9
what is your goal weight 119
what is your diet plan: weight watchers online
what is your exercise: ripped in 30 by jm
i'm trying to motivate myself so that a) i won't gain more weight and b) i will be in the best shape i can be come beach season.. that gives me a couple months to get in shape and feel good about myself again. i think its hard because sometimes i feel okay with myself and lose my motvation and then i eat too much and feel really bad about myself. I am trying to have the mentality that i am okay (aka, having self confidence), but i want to make myself even hotter, sexier, and more attractive!

This is me! I'm starting over. I've been off track for awhile, though...since February! There was a sickness in my immediate family and I completely lost focus on my weight loss goals. I really want to lose 20 lbs by the end of the summer. Ideally I'd like to lose more than that, but I'm giving myself a bit of wiggle room since I know I have a tendency to go off track every now and then lol.
when are you starting: May 9th
what is your goal weight: 180 by August; 135-140 is my ultimate goal.
what is your diet plan: Calorie restriction (1200-1400 calories per day)
what is your exercise: BL, JM, and WATP

Ah, just the thread I need right now. When I started my weight loss journey, I sort of "hunkered down", stayed in, and lost weight. Now that it is warmer, I am feeling more social and going out a bunch more. It's leading to lots of extra calories and a loss of focus.
when are you starting: May 9
what is your goal weight 136
what is your diet plan: Weight Watchers
what is your exercise: Zumba, yoga, personal trainer

I just started a new program, so I guess that puts me in the starting over category. I'd officially re-started May 2nd, but hadn't met with the nutritionist yet, so I'm going to count it from when I began this particular program.

what is your goal weight: long term 130-140; short term I just want to look good for my wedding!
what is your diet plan: low calorie (~950/day), high protein (>60g/day), 6 mini-meals a day, every 2 to 3 hours
what is your exercise: trying out a bunch of gym classes (I've so far done step, zumba, and kick-boxing), elliptical/exercise bike and free weights at home, starting c25k when I get back from my conference next week

Off to do some beginner yoga. I'm starting to like it. I'm finding that yoga makes me wanna stay active. Maybe because I'm slightly more flexible are moving around easier.

I've just begun my weight loss journey, for the first time ever I am seriously buckling down for this. I have started a journal for it, I am weighing in weekly, I am measuring and eating smaller portion sizes... I will be healthier, regardless of what weight I actually ever get to.
My Answers:
when are you starting: May 9
what is your goal weight: 72 kilos (approximately just under 160 lbs) My current goal is to lose around 25 kilos (55 lbs) by 2/1/2012
what is your diet plan: Portion control, exercize, less time 'just sitting around'.
what is your exercise: Currently the treadmill in my living room infront of my television (where I watch good movies, motivational shows, and educational television). I am also on the hunt for a hula hoop, which is almost impossible here. Once I get the down stairs television hooked up I will begin on my Yoga again.

I'm not really restarting right now - I've been doing this since mid-February, but I'm a long time lurker and haven't posted until today! 3FC has really helped me with my goals thus far, and I'm hoping to get even more help if I start posting!
When are you starting: Today!
What is your goal weight: 140
What is your diet plan: Nothing official - watching portions, minimizing snacks, just making good and smart choices.
What is your exercise: Just graduated C25K, and going to sign up for a half-marathon in October.
Good luck to all of you as well!
