Goal- 20 pounds

So I started my official diet today.

It's a HARDCORE diet... And I'm drinking at least 80 oz of water per day, and taking hydroxycut 3x a day. Plus I am trying to make it to the gym at least 3 x a week and do at least 100 crunches every night.

And I'm also cutting back on alcohol... and sweets... this is gonna be hard!

Of course I say this all now- obviously I just started today so I'm like JAM PACKED with motivation.... Lets see what happens in a couple weeks! I always start out motivated and then slack. Where is that 'get your @ss in shape' thread?? I need the support group to keep me motivated!!!!!

Good luck!!!! you will be able to do it once you start seeing results you will be totally motivated!

Just be careful with that hydroxycut I know they eliminated the effedra (sp?) in them but that stuff always scares me!

Re: Goal- 20 pounds

You can do it! Share some of that motivation with me!!! I'd like to lose 5-10 lbs but TONE UP!!!! (I'm soooooo flabby with no endurance)

I've been marking my calender every day I work out (usually 35-40 min on elliptical, although yesterday I only did 15 - better than nothing) and trying to eat healthier and drink less alcohol but I don't know if I'm doing enough.

I haven't cut anything out completely, I'm just trying to limit myself to the unhealthy foods/drinks I really want, rather than snacking on unhealthy stuff I don't actually want. I dont know if I'm working out enough but my motto is 'anything is better than nothing' -- hopefully 7 months of that will be enough

Good luck, the hardest part is getting into the 'zone' and going into work out mode, once you are there sticking with it is the easy part. You already are there and sounds like you will do awesome!

Good luck! You can do it!!! My goal is 35 before fittings. . .4 pounds down!.

We should get a daily motivation thread going

My old WW group used to do a weekly bootcamp - every week we picked one aspect of weight loss - watching carbs, watching fats, drinking water, exercising, journaling what we eat - and made sure to focus on that one aspect for the week. . .everyone did REALLY well on it, and it got to the point where we would continue what we did in the prior week and add on something else every week. Its a little less overwhelming when you are just tackling one change at a time. Would anyone be interested in doing something like this? It also helps us to see what little changes make the biggest difference in our weight loss!

hahaha...

I tried cutting back on everything- eating/drinking in moderation... but I don't really have the willpower to stop once I start. Now I look at a cookie or something and ask myself 'do i want to eat that or do I want to be skinny?' And I'm trying to say 'be skinny' and walk away. I also keep reminding myself that in 7 months I can pig out and drink like a fish on my honeymoon and it will just make it that much better!!!!
