June 24-July 24 who's the biggest loser?

[gospelle]

I have one month before I leave on vacation, and eventally my cruise. I've put off a proper exersise and eating plan until now. But now that I have just one month left, I am going to go hard-core and see if I can lose 11 pounds in the one month I have left.

I'm currently 211 pounds (which for me is about 50 too many) but if I can leave being under 200 I will feel that I have at least achivied some kind of goal.

I will be combining daily exersise and reduced "bad carb" (bread, sugar) diet.

I willl post frequently with my weight loss total to date. As of now it's ZERO of course.

If you would like to join me and have a friendly 1 month "biggest loser" competition, feel free. I'm sure I could use the pressure.

That sounds great. I'd love to join you. My cruise is in December. I really haven't put a weight limit on how much I plan to lose. I did tell myself I would reward myself with any treats until I lost at least 25 lbs. I'm currently a sie 22 (some 20s) and figure my goal for December would be between a size 18 or even 16 if I push myself (I'm guessing but probably not likely).

I'm in I just love friendly competition, it is so motivating.

I am also doing low carb (Atkins) no sugar, no starch. I have lost 17lbs to date but for our purposes I will start at zero lost as of tomorrow.

This is going to def motivate me to get on the treadmill tonight. My cruise is in Sept and I want to feel comfortable in a bikini

I am soooo in!!! I am back up to 230. Gosh I hate to even say that. I had lost back down to 150 for almost two years and then it just crept back on. I'm gonna South Beach it again!!! I also read in Woman's World about some great new combination of supplements (soy and grape extract) that supposedly works wonders. We'll see!!!! I leave July 25th also on Paradise for Ensenada.

I have two months before my cruise to alaska. I would love to drop about 20 pounds before I go. I am going to stick with the recommendations I got from a dietician that helped me lose 75lbs two years ago.
I have ten I would like to lose for clothing sake and ten to make room for eating on the cruise.

[gospelle]

Excellent. I'm glad I have some competition. Let's post our losses one week from now, and every week thereafter. Final weigh in on July 24!

Good luck everyone.

I need to get back on the wagon again too. We have a cruise in Nov but are going to Paris for two weeks in August and I would really like to get down to my precruise weight from Nov 06 (192) so I can wear those lovely clothes I bought. And then get even lower for the cruise.

I last posted a weigh in before Christmas and am up a couple of pounds from there but am down 6 lbs in the last month or so, for a running start.
Yesterday I weighed 200 even.

Well, I did 4 miles (1 hour)on the treadmill Monday night and 2.5miles (40min)on the eliptical yesterday, but I also ate icecream yesterday so we will see if it shows up on the scale. Tonight its the treamill again for me

[poochierebelbear]

This morning I walked 2 miles. When I get home from work, I'm going to eat and later pop in one of my Turbo Jam tapes and get busy! I use to be a Weight Watcher Member, so I know how to write and journal my points. I've been using that system. If I bite it, I write it.

Erica

I'll join as well. I am cruising in September and can stand to lose a few. Actually alot Unfortunately I have a trip to Vegas coming up. Ugh, all those buffets. This will help keep me motivated.

Good luck all and happy losing!

Sounds like everyone is doing good!! My husband and I have been running 3 miles in the morning at least 5 days a week. I also have an elliptical in the basement. Its my diet lately that hasn't been so great. I haven't gained any thing back, but I still want to lose 10 pounds . This board is just what I need to keep me motivated. Have a great day!

Hi everyone! Last night I went to Walmart and was actually comparing prices of the Slim Fast, but happened to take a look at the Atkins and compared it to the Slim Fast. I was really impressed. So now I have Atkins products. They are extremely high in protein and they are very low in sugar. That's a plus for me.

OK guys, mind if I join in.

We are taking our first ever cruise in Nov of this year. I started WW a year and a half ago and lost 27 lbs for our daughters wedding last fall.

Well you guessed it, I have put 7 back on since September. I am still going to ww to weight in. Gain a pound or two, lose one, etc, ect.

I am really scared to quit ww as I think I will gain everything back, but it is starting to get expensive when I am not following it.

I need something new to get me back going and you girls may just be it.

I am starting tonight, weighing in at 188 and hoping to get back motivated with your help.

And Erica. I promise to start tomorrow with the "bite it, write it" I know that is part of why I am gaining! I haven't written anything down for six months

LETS GO GIRLS!!

Hey Gang,
Ok my official loss for this week is (drum roll please ) down 1lb YAY!!!!\

How about everyone else? Who is the biggest loser this week?

[w8n2cruise]

My total weight loss for the week was 2.5lbs. Not a bad start. I hope this biggest loser competition will continue to keep me motivated, I only have a little less than two month until my cruise.

[Dansmom]
