I'm in! I turn the big 3-0 in August and want to lose 50 pounds by then! I know, I know, I'm crazy but, I just can't carry this weight into the next decade. I haven't always been... you know! I was overweight when I got pregnant and gained 65 pounds with my daughter lost all but about 20 pounds and 3 years later, gained 40 with my son, and lost some but still need to lose what I gained in that pregnancy plus weight I had to start with. All in all I need to lose about 70 pounds.

I think the only way to do this is to do it together!!! Losing 10lbs by april shouldn't be that difficult!!

so lets get our bums movin!!!

What kind of diet are you following?

I'm on a modified atkins diet and currently in my second week of induction. This is working super well for me!!!

what about you?

Sounds ideal for me. I've almost lost 20 lbs, and another 13 will put me below 250 for the first time in a WHILE, so I'm in. I got the "fat girl" comments all through school and the navy too, I was always only 20 or 30 lbs overweight, but just that much will make people feel that they can make comments. Amazingly enough, now that I weigh over 250, nobody makes those comments to my face anymore. What is it about that extra little bit that makes it free reign for people to call you chunky and chubby and things, but if you are any bigger, they start mostly talking behind your back, still just as hurtful, but odd that it happens that way. Oh well, I'm rambling, sorry. just wanted to say that I'm in.

Hi i am with you all the way. I am tired of being fat. I am going to give it all i have. You are right the fat has got to go. We must take control of what we eat, when we eat why we eat. Healthy eating is the key to great health. So lets do it.

i don't know what i did but thats not my post. SORRY

hey... I am IN!

I dont know if I can do it or not - the weight has been coming off really slow but I am willing to give it a shot with you all!

I will

what ways of eating are you ladies currently following?? I'm a very curious one!!! hehehe

I am so in, too!!! I need to lose lots of weight but I'm trying not to be too unrealistic so 10 by 4/29 sounds good to me.

I'm not really on a diet. Mainly just portion control and not too much junk. But I am working out way more. The diet thing just doesn't work for me. About two years ago, I lost 30lbs on a low calorie/working out diet. But as soon as I started eating regularly and quit working out I gained all the weight back plus some. So I just want to slowly adjust to a new lifestyle so I can lose weight and keep it off. Besides I love food and there is no way I'm going to deprive myself of it!!!!!

Carbprincess-does your name mean you love carbs or you're not eating carbs?? because if you love em...you're just like me.....i wouldn't give em up for anything!!!

You got this g/f I know you can do this
