i think i'll join this. i've been losing only 3 lbs per month the past two months (obviously not plateauing, just not exercising!), so maybe the additional pressure will help me stay focused on exercise.
It's good to see everyone! (I guess this is my 100th time of saying this!). We kick off officially today, July 1st.
Let's have rules to make it more fun or what do you think?
Rule no 1: Don't back out cos the scales aren't moving, just hang in there.
Rule no 2: Share whatever you're going through, someone might have a suggestion or need that encouragement you're keeping to yourself
Rule no 3: Stay on plan, don't eat that junk, walk that extra mile, drag yourself to that gym, it all adds up at the end
Rule no 4: Have fun while losing the weight, it's supposed to be a way of life.
If anyone has anything to add or subtract, please feel free to ( i wish someone can put together a list with our start weight and at the end of the month include our final weight so we can track how we fared, any volunteers?)
Im in! Any suggestions would be helpfull too. Im going to a three day music festival in Dublin and drinking will be had. My current weight is 184. I WILL be 174 by August 1st. Preferrably July 29th which is my 26th birthday! We can do it ladies!
Starting the month at 197.4. That would mean 187.4 by August 1st. Now, I will not lie, that number scares me. I haven't seen that number for SOOOOOO long and it seems impossible that I'm that close to it that in some lucky universe, I could actually reach that weight in a month's time. If I do, I will be ecstatic, but with being at this for nearly 6 months, honestly, I'll be happy/THRILLED if I lose 8 this month.
I've stepped up my working out recently, so that should help, but I also know at this point in my weight loss journey, expecting 10 pound losses in a month isn't very likely to happen, unlike in the beginning. But I'll try!!! (in a healthy way!)
