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.

starting weight 176.0
06/03 - 175.8
06/10 - 176.8
06/17 - 175.2
06/24 - 174.4
07/01 - goal: 166.0, actual: 173.0

166 would have been nice, but at least I lost 3lbs!

Ok, not a weight loss but I lost 0.5 inch on my waist! :carrot: And my workout was awesome today after a 10 day sick break. :D

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!

Ok girls, don't think I'm gonna manage it - at my weigh-in today I put on 1lb.. :(

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.

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.

OMG!!!! I gained a pound, but today I had the greatest NSV ever!!!!

I actually fit into a size 4 dress!!! At Ann Taylor!!! (Although, I'm pretty sure its more of a size 6.)

Oh well, all I want is thin thighs!!! And calves.

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!

6/3: 253.2

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?
