145 Lbs

I'm in. I have lost the weight for baby #3, now I need to loose 40lbs for baby #2 and 20 more lbs for baby #1. I really need to concentrate on doing a daily workout though. How shall we hold each other accountable? Somebody post a daily question on whether we all worked out and everybody responds with a yes, what and how long?

ooh Girl!!! YOU GO!!!!

If I weighed 120lbs again - I'd be a bag of bones!!

I don't have a treadmill, but I do have 4 men in my life - hubby and 2 boys and a dog!!! I can walk the dog instead of the treadmill....

how do you propose to work it?

This is a great idea. I have 30-35 lbs to lose. It is so frustrating. These pounds have been with me since having my little girl. I guess after 7 years, I can't consider it pregnancy fat any more. I would love to lose 5 pounds a month. Is that unrealistic?

There's no hope for me, SAVE YOURSELF!!

:(

There is no hope for me either Theresa, I have just been told I have a thyroid condition and have had issues swallowing for 16 years so everything is covered in sauces so it goes down so I have 60 to loose and have no hope of doing this

You go "Sam I Am" Congratulations and I hope you get to where you want to be. "Feel the burn"

I'll join you...I am much further away from my goal (160), but I hope to reach it by the end of the winter. So far I've lost 22 lbs. 8 more lbs to go until I get down to my pre-pregnancy weight for baby #3. 25 lbs til pre-baby #2, 35 lbs til pre-baby #1, 55 lbs til wedding weight, and then 85 lbs til my ideal weight.

Doing a combination of low-carb eating and exercise on my new elliptical machine.

I highly recommend the website, www.myfitnesspal.com. It is like a Facebook for fitness/weight loss. Great way to track calories, nutrients & exercise...and it's free :) The people on there are extremely supportive...check it out!

30 minutes a day is about all you need to start off with... do that for about 2 weeks until you get in your groove, then you can really start rocking it!!

Youtube the treadmill guy... you can get a great full body workout on the treadmill! I love mine! (Too bad it's been collecting dust, and it's showing)

I'd love to join, what are you doing? What are your daily/weekly goals for yourself?

YOU CAN DO IT!! :)

I'll join you! I'd like to lose about the last 12-15 of flab from baby #2, who was born 4 years ago. Count me in!

I would love to join you too! I'd ideally like to lose 30 pounds. I keep going on diets where I lose 5 lbs or so and then life gets stressful and I over eat and gain the weight back. So frustrating! Let us know how you think we can do this together.

Yes! I'm in too! And ditto to the questions of how we hold each other accountable. I have RA and need to lose about 50 lbs. I also like to walk and jog when my joints are feeling good. It's funny, I've asked close friends and relatives for support because I can't do this alone and they can't commit. Then I came across your post and I'm so glad I did! BTW if I weighed 145 again I'd look like I did before kids, I'm big boned so that is not too bad for someone like me.

Yep I could use the accountability. Down 6 pounds but blew it this last weekend...Darned monthly visitor....I know no excuses LOL! Good for you.

I am the exact weight that you are, and have the exact same weight goals. I would love to be an online work out buddy type of thing. I need motivation for sure. Just pm me if you want to!

Preggers, but on my treadmill every night. Stick to it- you will feel so much better in a short period of time.

Feel free to hold me accountable as well! I am determined NOT to gain 50 pounds with this baby. That was not pleasant and was my own damn fault!

UGH! I WISH I weighed 145 lbs! That's MY goal!

I'll join you. Why not set up a Yahoo account thing where we can all go and report in every week on our progress?

Last night I told myself I'd get a fresh start this morning and get my walk in and record what I eat in my notebook. So far, I haven't walked, and my notebook says, "One piece of zucchini bread. One frozen mocha."

Oh, yeah......I'm doin' great........

My highest hope (with school starting next Monday) is to start WALKING every day and shed some of this back FAT! Grrrrrr.....I just hate the rolls back there! And I have a family wedding in November and would love my holidays to start lighter!
Let's make it a Drop Ten Pounds club! It's all about achievable goals, right? ;)

I'm in! I'm at 151 lbs down from 182 just over a year ago. I have NO idea how I gained the weight in the first place (okay, maybe munching chicken nuggets with a toddler was part of it) Now that he's older, I've found he's just as happy with an apple for a snack as cheese and chips, and so am I. My short term goal is 140, but 135 would be perfect. I'm 5'8". I'm in. What's the goal, 2 lbs a week? That's do-able. Studies show 1.5 to 2 lbs weight loss a week is most likely to be maintained, anything faster can cause yo-yoing.

Ditto what mamamia said below.. that is a great website and free..

I'd love to be 145lbs! My physical is tomorrow so I'll have to see what the Dr. says is okay for me to do! I need to do something!!! I have a few workout videos on Netflix and I've been DVRing "Total Body Workout" so I just need to make the time to do something.

I would love to participate, and I have a suggestion as to how we do it as well.
Livestrong.com
Not only does it have great resources (exercise tips, ideas, food tracker, etc) it has the support community feature as well.
It's free to sign up and works in a way similar to this sight. You add people as your contacts and you can communicate in support of each other through the site. You can message one friend or all friends, etc.

I can join in if you do a posting and such. I am about 153 as of this morning. I am on week 2 of getting up at 4:45 am (to be at the healthclub at 5am), and working out with my own personal trainer, my hubby. Its great bonding time for us, which we need. He gains muscle easy. I hate to work out. He can do cardio...HARD cardio..forever (sweaty, soaking wet and exhilarated). I can not..due to attitude, dislike of excercise and also alot of scar tissue on my right foot, making anything that "rolls" on it painful (alot of walking, running is way worse, even the elliptical gets bad after about 15 min).

I am also using an app called Calorie Counter by Fat Secret on my android phone to track calories. Similar to the My Fitness Pal one recommended below. I am just more familiar with it for calorie tracking. I can scan barcodes, etc, too. I enter every single thing I eat. I use alot of measuring cups and now need to get a food scale (I had lost about 6 pounds, then gained 3 back, which is typical for me with starting a weight lifting program..but my clothes fit different. My almost 17 year old daughter has always been heavy, her whole life. She is using this app too, but has zero activity...she has to want to...anyhow, she has lost 12 pounds in 6 weeks just tracking food with this phone app. She is great and measures every single thing. We only track calories, not fat, carbs, etc)

I also try to eat at least 75% of my diet as "clean" foods.CLean is defined differently by different people I am finding. I seek ingredients I can read and pronounce (if there are several, like in a bread or pasta, both of which I rarely eat and the ones I do now come from a local farmers market). Most things are real foods. Meat, veggies, fruits...seasonings. Thats it.

My goal is to be 130, or less by the end of the year, muscular and fit easily into my size 8 pants (or less?) but a loose size 8 in my Levi's works for me. I just want muscles and endurance. And the ability to loosen up on my calorie restrictions because my workouts are heavier and easier for me..easier in the way that I WANT to do them!

So...today I was at the gym for 60 minutes. I worked my chest, did 25 minutes on the rowing machine (highest resistance it goes...but everyone seems to do that. I can row as I can turn my foot to not use the scar part. Its my favorite cardio...as I use my whole body!). Stretching before and after.

My goal is 140....i "had" 15 lbs to go...but now i'm pregnant...:0). IMO 145 is an o.k. number to stay at IMO....however we all know what we want.........you can do it!

I would love to join ya.
I've lost 30 lbs in the last 2 months, and I am still trying to hit it hard and keep it up. Some days it's just really hard, ok what I meant was...way easier to avoid it. lol.
=)

I'm in. Have almost exactly the same weight goals as you. Gained a ton of weight last winter when we started daycare and spent weeks and weeks with someone sick. Want to go back to being "myself," and my "I'll swim some and eat better program did ... nothing. Maybe a group effort would help!

Good for you! What a great thing to do and help one another!
