Ooh, I want to join. I would LOVE to lose 5-7 lb by April, because I am THISCLOSE to my goal. I want to look hot in a bikini this summer, so when my husband sees me his eyes bug out of his skull, lol!

OK I'm in I am embarrassed to say that 6 nasty pounds have snuck back onto my body. I am still below my origional goal but I am also shorter than I thought origionally so I am just a bit more than I want to be.

I have regained a whopping 17 lbs, although some of that is back off.

At this point for my challenge I would like to just LOSE something I've been struggling for over a year now and creeping up up up up up.

It's been even rougher in the last couple months. I weaned my son (ooops I was USED to those calories) I got injured and had to stop running and all lower body work and I've been sick. BLAH. Still have all of those things but time to give up self pity.

I think I would realistically like to see 137 by April. Not going for quick loss, just something.

ok, so i'm late to the party but i'm down too! i have 2 more pounds to hit my goal but i wouldn't be super upset if a couple more slipped off too... but my official goal for march is those last 2 lbs. hanging around and diligently working out. i know ALL about swimsuit season coming up!!

i also did 30DS on level 2 for the first time today and oh. my. ow. i'm not too proud to admit i took a few breaks. i'll get better! i'm gonna get out and move some more later on...

glad to be on board!

Down to 142.8 this morning; if I keep up, only three pounds to go to make my March goal! I have to believe it's at least due in part to the fact that I have drastically stepped up my exercise.

I'd like to join and my goal is to get below 140# by April 1st. I think that is doable for me.

My goal is to see 139.something by St. Pat's day!

Even with being sick and taking a the week of from exercise and weights I lost 1.5 pounds. After 3 weeks of the scale not moving I am very happy about that. My goal this week is to pick the cardio and weights back up and increase my calorie intake from 1200 to 1500...to see if that will make a difference!

Ill be happy with a 3 pound loss this month :P

It's not starting out terribly well. Lots of wine on Saturday followed by hangover eating on Sunday. I was up to 144.4 this morning but I am not going to count that as official.

Well I'm happy to say that I'm down 2 lbs from early last week. That puts me at 124, just 4 lbs away from my goal. I'd like to be there by the end of the month, and at the least by mid-march, which is when I head to punta cana.

I did great over the weekend (usually my worst time) in terms of food, although I didn't get out and exercise much. I've been trying to stick between 1200-1500 cal per day (I may have went a little over yesterday) and exercise daily this week and hopefully I can keep it up through the weekend. Work is insanely stressful right now, so I'm a little worried. If anything I'll skip the workouts...I just have to make sure to keep making healthy food decisions.

I hope you're all having a good week

I had my book discussion group at my house last night and did not do all that well. I made a quick bread from a mix and followed the low-fat instructions on the side (applesauce sub'd for oil, eggbeaters sub'd for eggs) and I did have a piece of that. Had slices of Cabot 50% reduced fat cheese, some whole grain crackers, and Planter's nuts (Brazils, cashews, almonds). I didn't stuff myself, but I am sure I had more calories yesterday than I should've. Oh, and I also had a cup of hot chocolate, 150 calories. I was up nearly a pound this morning, and I wonder how much my bad eating last night had to do with that.

I think you did pretty well! You made an effort to make the bread low-fat and really didn't eat all that unhealthy~! Today is a new day!

I am really proud that after lunch I had eaten 850 calories. I have such a hard time eating enough calories. It is like I am scared to eat. Last night before dinner I looked at my tally and had only eat 400 calories. Not good! So I am trying to eat more earlier in the day...I have weigh in tomorrow and don't think I'll lose much this week if anything, but I did get all of my cardio/strength training in and have eaten well. That is good! I put on my bikini today and it looked good. My body is getting firm even though I am a higher than usual weight for me. You can really see the muscle tone and I love that! Getting rid of those love handles, hardly anything there anymore! I just hate the scale!

I need to hit 159 by sunday to meet my first goal for the month. I woke up this morning and was 160 so I am half way to that mini-goal (crossing fingers)!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am down a pound this week! Yeah! I really didn't know if I would lose any weight or not! I was very happy and surprised! Got all of my workouts in this week (except for cardio yesterday...didn't do it) and tried to stay around 1500 calories. A couple of days I was around 1200...

Just got to stick with it! It has been 6 weeks now and I am down 7.5 pounds! Not super fast loss...but I'll take it!
