I signed up my info on fittoday.com

I'm hoping to loose about 20 pounds before I have to order my wedding dress in October. I'm not really sure that's too realistic as I'm not so concerned with how I look right now. It's more of a "won't that be nice to look slimmer on the big day!", but at least with these calculators I can sort of see a clearer picture of my eating/exercise habits. And maybe if I have to report to you all I'll actually stick with the plan! :)

Good luck to us all!

Yeah 5.5 pounds is too much. It's better to lsoe it slowly. So even if you don't reach your goal, you'll still be losing and the slower you lose it you'll more likely keep it off.

Good luck to all of you; I'm actually about within my fitness goals so I won't be joining in, but good luck with reaching your ideal weights.

Of course.

I don't have a specific weight loss goal, but I would like to get fit and be more active. Mind if I join? I just think that if I'm held accountable to someone (my husband isn't much help, lol. He's the one that convinces me to stay on the couch w/ him!) I will see better results. I need someone to yell at me for watching 90210 reruns and eating ice cream instead of roller blading like I should be!

You can join.

I am trying to lose 10 pounds by the end of summer. I am fairly active but my diet sucks. So hopefully recording all that I eat will help me out.

Alright I'm in. I'd like to loose 20-25 by September 1st. I am already down 30 since January so that would put me at my first goal of loosing 50 lbs.

I lost weight in early 2003. It was a challenge, but I did it. I feel good, and my clothes fit better. I lost over 15 pounds. Good luck to all of you! :)

This site is wonderful!! My goal is to lose 13-15 pounds.

ETA: I really like this website. It makes you look at what you are doing in a very truthful light! I hope I can keep it up through September.

I'm in. I've lost about a net of about 25 lbs since February. At my "peak" I had lost 28 lbs, so a gain of about 3 lbs is not too bad, I just want to make sure I don't completely fall off the wagon and gain it back so the accountability will be good for me. My co-workers and I did a fitness challenge from Feb - April and it really helped. The $300.00 on the table for the winner didn't hurt either, and I sooooo enjoyed taking their money!! :D

I'd like to lose an additional 20 - 25 lbs.


As a suggestion, it was helpful for me and my coworkers to state our next week's goals during our weekly weigh-in. We did our weigh-ins on Fridays and went through 4 questions:
*This is what I did WELL this week
*This was a CHALLENGE for me this week:
* These are my GOALS for next week
*This is how you can SUPPORT me (Although this one will be hard since we are not together. Our "support" came in the form of reminders for water breaks, 15 minute "walk breaks" in the afternoons, bringing in healthy snacks, etc.)

This site is great!!! Good idea, RollerGirl.

I've made my journal public as well.

Ok! I'll jump in too! Just last night I had written up a to-do list for today. One of the items was to sit down and work out my fitness goals on paper! This thread is great timing!

Living the student life for so long really did a number on my eating habits. It doesn't help that I eat sugar and drink soda like it's going out of fashion. :o

Here are my fitness goals:

** Let's see, first, I could probably stand to lose about 25 pounds. According to fitday.com, to meet my goal, I would need to lose about 1.77 lb per week. That sounds pretty reasonable to me.

** Increase flexibility. For someone who was an ice skater for 10 years, my flexibility is practically non-existant.

** Decrease body fat. I've always been muscular and athletic. Getting on the scale is sometimes deceiving as I weigh a lot more than I look. In other words, my muscle content weighs down the scale and makes it hard to track fat loss. So, I have one of those nifty scales that does body fat readings. Mine is currently 34%. Ack, that needs to go!

Here's how I hope to accomplish this:

1) Drink no more than two (12oz can) sodas a day. -- I'm already working on this. I greatly dislike the taste of diet sodas. However, I found that diet rootbeer and Dr. Pepper are ok. I alternate drinking the sugar ones with drinking the diet ones.

2) Drink two glasses of water a day.

3) Eat breakfast at least 3 days a week. You all must understand that this will be a challege for me! :)

4) Participate in aerobic exercise for at least 30 minutes a day (walk, dance, run, etc).

5) Participate in some stretching, yoga or pilates activites at least three times a week.

Good luck everyone!

Okay I too have made my journal public.

Here's the link:

Emily's Fit Day Journal

To reach my goal I have to lose 1.84 pounds a week. I think I can do it.

Jen's Journal

Enjoy. Although I kinda cheated. I was out line dancing beyond 12:00 am last night so techincally that activity can be counted today... right? ;)
