Haha! My first post, finally.

Age: 19
Are you in HS or College: College
Year: Sophomore
Height: 5'6" (or 5'7", I don't think I'll ever really know)

High Weight: 215 (That's the highest I remember, I may have been higher)
Ultimate Goal Weight: 139

Plan to achieve goals: I'm going to try to stay motivated (stick with exercise vids and going to the gym) and not give in to cravings so easily. I think I'm going to start taking the stairs instead of the elevator. I also got a pedometer; I want to do the 10,000 steps-a-day challenge.

Good luck, all!

Welcome to all the newcomers!

The jeans are a tiny bit tight...*sigh*

Tomorrow is the first day of classes for me! Ahhh. Stress.

I'm going to really buckle down and track everything I eat this week. I think I'm underestimating calories.

I did lots of exercise today, but ate heaps too! I went shopping to celebrate my weight loss so far and it was awesome fitting into jeans and nice bras but I didn't buy anything. Instead I bought a new exercise DVD, I want to go down one more dress size before I spend money on clothes.

Has anyone done anything to celebrate their weightloss so far?

I've got a weigh in this saturday, I'm excited!

Anyway, eat well and work those butts off!

School started for me today. I've eaten pretty well so far, except for a little chips/salsa/queso fest, but I'm going to end the day on a good note. I'm getting ready to head to the gym for 30 minutes cardio followed by 30-45 minutes of a Yoga/Pilates blend (a class). I'm tired already from an early morning, but it will be worth it!

In regard to the celebration of weight loss, well I haven't lost any weight for awhile, so no not yet. When I get to 210 pounds, I will reward myself with a pedicure.

good on u kandazzle for exercising when you're tired. I have a baby and do med so I know how hard it can be, but I always feel so much better and awake afterwards even though it's the last thing I feel like doing.

My diet has taken a pounding. I am so stressed - my daughter won't go to bed at the right time and I have exams coming up.

I weighed myself early on a different set of scales and it looks like I haven't lost any weight (even though I have done soooooooooo much exercise this week!), so I'll have to work hard before saturday weigh-in. I REALLY want to get to get in under 70kg.

When I reach my next 10% goal, I'm going to reward myself with a pair of jeans, which I haven't been able to wear in years.

What day are we doing our weigh in for this challenge?

good question stuco... i was wondering the same. i thought it was monday?

i move in today... i'm kind of nervous. my roomie called me yesterday (she's already there) and she said she went to the gym, and was intimidated by the weight room. so she asked me if we could make a date and go together yay.

I think i'll withdraw from this challenge. Uni is too stressful at the moment, and I'm just going to exercise everyday, but not watch what I eat (won't be too bad because I only have health food in the house anyway). I don't have time to concentrate on losing weight until exams are over (5th September).

Good luck to all of you in your weight loss and uni work!

I am currently at 129. i think i may reach my goal before the end of fall semester! i'm hoping to be at 120 by the end of the month
