OK, my goal is to lose 25 pounds no later than May 1st. Then May 1st until my wedding day the 31st will be for maintenance.

I know it's a lot so I have to do my WW, and go to the gym minimum 3 days a week.
I hope I can do it

Good luck Liz! Just remember, try not to stay under your minimum points, you should atleast try to hit the minimum!!

Good luck!! I can't wait to be SKINNY!

Re: LizLen's Log

Oct, why do i have to meet the minimum?
I thought if I went underneat that was good

Re: LizLen's Log

Liz, staying under your points can be considered deprivation and it can cause you to hold on to the weight instead of losing it. You need to eat enough for your body to sustain itself. If you do not eat enough your body will think it is in a starvation period and to protect itself it will hold on to everything you eat. Don't sabotage yourself.

Sounds like you're off to a great start!!!!
Do try for the minimum- and get in the water- it really helps!!!

I'm trying to loose 20 by Oct.- and be more tone! I'm doing ok- as I've lost 5 so far (that was during the holidays!!!) I just didn't go to the gym for personal stuff going on and I wasn't here, but I'm back now

Lizlen- do you belong to a gym?
