UPDATE Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!

No its not a gimmick or a fad diet its just my wish and I am hoping there are others on here who feel the same and maybe we can motivate each other?

You can list your starting weight or not....but we should weigh in on the same day each week and log whether you are up or down and how much.

What do you think? any takers?

UPDATE ( I hope I have not missed anyone!)

Re: Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!

Hurrah!!!

Ok so I weighed myself this morning Chat Icon and maybe we should do the weigh in each thursday morning - does that work for you guys?

I am going to do 30-45 mins on the treadmill today - cannot go outside as I have suddenly developed allergies so am dying over here but determined to get on that treadmill today.

What about you what exercise are you going to do today?

Thanks for taking this challenge with meChat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!

Ok I weighed myself this morning too and I will be the brave soul and post my weight 147! Chat Icon

Ok now seeing that number again is going to scare me straight into dieting. I have been watching what I eat, doing small meals 5 times a day and walking and running. Oh and I have been doing arm weights since I need my arms to look cute in my tank tops lol.

So we are gonna do this every thurs morning right?

Re: Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!

Yes every thursday morning.

i weighed 140.5 this morning and I REALLY want to be 130 by July 4th weekend.

I did 30 minutes on the treadmill this morning and plan on doing a Jillian Michaels DVD when DH gets home.

I aim for a minimum of 30 mins of exercise 6 days per week and HOPE to do more.

Like you I want toned arms so that is the purpose of the dvd - the treadmill is to burn calories and shrink my gut that I have had since my second was born 8 months ago.

I loved doing the Jillian Michaels workout. Its here somewhere in my boxes that I havent unpacked from moving.

I have a HS track and a park nearby so I have been using those for my workouts. I am actually going to try Zumba tomorrow!

Re: Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!

I'd like to join in. I have been dieting and exercising for a year now and have lost a good amount of weight, but would like to get rid of at least 10 more pounds. Today's weight was 174.5 I'd like to be at 165.

I usually do 40 min a day on my arc trainer and i just joined planet fitness to do extra cardio 2 days a week.

today i did 40 min on arc trainer and then 60 min on ellipitical.

Re: Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!

Can I join? I bought a scale (against my better judgment and the wishes of dh) and I weighed myself. I was horrified at what it said. I have been busting my butt for a month and really thought it would be lower. I am 7 months pp and would love to get back to my pre pregnancy weight (from #1) of 155. I am currently 183 Chat Icon
I can't diet because if I do my milk supply drops significantly but I do work out. I do 30 minutes of cardio weight training daily and walk for 45 minutes a day with the kids.

Re: Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!

Yeah....thanks ladies - now I am more motivated and feel that I can achieve this weight loss.

I am nursing too so I cannot drastically cut calories but want to be more conscious of what I am eating and drink more water so that combined with exercising will hopefully drop the lbs

Lets stay motivated and check in daily if we need to.

I am trying to visualize pulling on a pair of pants on july 4 th weekend in a smaller size and not having to jump around the room doing squats to loosen them outChat Icon

Re: Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!

How did everyone do over the weekend? I managed three walks - 3 miles each so was very proud of myself but also ate more than my fair share of cake and other bad stuff so dont know what story the scales will tell on thursday. Hoping to keep the exercise up until then and if I have not lost anything I will be pizzed!

Re: Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!

I did a zumba class on Fri which went for 2 hours so my legs were sore all weekend!

On Sat I went out dancing with my girls so I am hoping I burned off all my calories I consumed from my drinks lol

I'd like to join!

I haven't had any time to exercise, but I'm trying to more healthy meals!

I'm trying to lose this last bit of pregnancy weight.

12/15 - Last time I weighed during my PG. +46.1 lbs

12/25: -21.2 lbs

1/2: -27 lbs

1/8: -29 lbs

1/22: -31 lbs

But basically since that time, I've been around that same weight! Then finally I started losing again.

3/26: -32.6 lbs
4/2: -32.8 lbs
4/9: -33.2 lbs
4/16: -34.4 lbs

So now I have 11.7 lbs to get to my PP weight... but would be happy losing 10!

So is it okay if I join?? Chat Icon

I am SO in! I am 146 and I am normally 140. I blame it on my dissertation! Chat Icon

I am keeping myself on a 1300 calorie diet, and running 3-4 days a week. This morning I ran/walked 2 miles.

ETA: I'll weigh in on Thursday but it will only be 3 days for me. Hopefully I'll show some progress!

Re: Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!

I started 30 day Shred on Saturday. SO far I feel like it is doing more then my other workout. Hopefully I will see results. I had a slight dip in milk supply. Any suggestions on how to exercise and not lose my supply. I am trying to eat healthy but there is a fine line between eating enough to lose weight and maintain supply and lose weight and supply. I am downing water and it seemed to be helping until last night.
I will do a weigh in on Thursday too. Chat Icon
