I'll join. I don't believe I've ever lost 10lbs a month when I was under 200 but it's worth a shot, and it would be awesome to do it because it would put me 0.1 under my LAW.
I am cutting down my portions and eating more protein and less carbs, which is difficult when the only meat you eat is fish, so I'm eating a lot of fish, a salad every night and not binge eating in the evening, which is also my big problem. Just trying to be more aware of what is going in my mouth. I don't have an exercise plan, so busy. I have two girls and work in a daycare, so I'm fairly active during the day, never sitting down. Fridays I have karate and that's about it for an exercise routine. Kudos for all of you who do regular exercise! I'm pretty proud of myself, it's been a week and I've been pretty good, usually I last a day. I think it will help to have support on here.
Other sources of protein - soy (tofu and tempeh), nuts, barilla plus pasta (though that also has carbs), eggs, cheese.
Atkins and some Think Thin bars have a lot of protein without a lot of carbs and then there is whey powder (check to make sure it's not full of sugar).

Hi I'd like to join this too - I see a couple from the 12 week thread and figure the more accountable I make myself the better motivated I'll be to succeed.
MaryOjo I love your attitude and motivation to support each other. I'm also trying to drink at least 2l of water a day and finding it so hard. I think it makes such a difference though, it's worth it!

Marchmallow, don't give up just yet. Remember: aim for the sky. We all experience this phase: gain-lose-gain-lose. Whatever you do, keep moving, don't stop.
Ok girls, don't think I'm gonna manage it - at my weigh-in today I put on 1lb..
Hang in there, it could be a number of things...
I do daily weighing and today I weighed-in at 190.9, which is over a 1lb higher than normal but I've lost another 0.5 inches just from yesterday. Weird fluctuations can definitely happen.
Ok, I'm joining this one Love to see all the support!
I made a bet with a friend several months ago and put up quite a bit of cash... winner is the one who loses the most percentage. Of course I made the bet and then promptly decided "I have plenty of time" but now the deadline is July 3rd and she's at 10% and I'm at 4.5%... oops! I don't think there's any way I can beat her as I'd need to lose 15 pounds just to tie her. So, my goal is 15 pounds but more realistically I'm looking at 8-10. Good luck all!
Good to see so many joining in. I slipped a bit today, had a small muffin and an ice coffee (with 1% milk) I did, however, go to karate and ate a giant salad for dinner. Now I just need to hold out until bed without snacking...hmmm.
How's everyone else doing today?
Dana
Hello All, I had a great weigh in this morning 176.2 I did really well yesterday but today was different. Too much time on my hands and running around so a lot snacky today. I usually don't do well on the weekends at all. I am so trying to cut that out and I know I need to plan ahead to do it (sometimes it does help me). Hope everyone has a perfectly OP weekend.
Ashley Congrats on your NSV a size 4 wow
Dana evening snacking is my issue also along with mid-day sometimes, we can do this I try to keep grapes handy, but they've been pretty sour here lately
runningfromfat Congrats on the 0.5 off your waist. I can't wait until I can say that
And my workout was awesome today after a 10 day sick break. 
Love to see all the support!
