I can not believe it but on March 18th I will be 30! As a new mommy, and way too big for my own good I am setting my goal. I would like to lose 20 pounds by my birthday. That means that at 145 I will need to be down to 125. No where close to my goal, but a start. Who is with me???? Anyone want to come to Hawaii and celebrate my weight loss/ 30th birthday! Love this place. Feeling better and better about myself.

Hawaii, I am concerned.
in your initial post you said you are 6'2" - 145 is low for that , let alone 125.

can you clear up your plans and stats?
this plan is not meant to make you unhealthy.

Her profile lists her start weight as 245...I think the post was just a typo.

Thank you. I panicked there.

SORRY!! 245 need to be 175. At least that is what the Doc. said. I have not been 175 since I was a sophmore in high school. That was like a long time ago!! Thanks for the concern.

Hawaii, I'll join you in that 20 pound challenge. I thought my birthday was too close to plan a goal for, but having lost 4.5 lbs already, I bet I could lose ten by my bithday! Anyway, I digress. I'd love to join you in your challenge!

You are on Rosie! I see you are in Colorado! I used to go there every summer as a kid. We would stay in Estes Park. I loved it. But I am afraid I am one that must be close to the ocean. And I mean close. I can see the cruise ships from my bedroom. I love the sounds. I just wish I loved being in a bathing suit.

Maxi and I have a March 3 birthday - with a challenge going for that if you would like to join. its not moving real fast because Maxi and I lose very slowly.

I bet you could beat us in the challenge.

I would be honored. I don't lose weight that fast either. The first time I tried was 2 years ago. It took 8 months for me to get to 195. I started at 250 that time. And I felt like a million bucks. Looked good too! That is 55 pounds. Only 6.8 pounds a month or maybe 2 pounds a week. Really I started off fast, but then I only lost about a couple of pounds every other week. I think this whole "diet" thing is not really good. After 8 months, it just felt like i was just healthy. I didn't really even think about it. This time, I am thinking about it. I have to lose more. I have to be healthy for me and my son. It is just too important this time. So, YOU ARE ON! You guys looking at 20 pounds as well?

UPDATE:

I've lost 5 lbs since I took this challenge!!!
Only 5 more to go!

Rosie! Excellent! I can't believe sometimes that watching what you eat and walking a lot helps you lose weight! Just kiddin'. I actually weighed myself this morning. Something I NEVER do. Scale said 235, but I am skeptical. I think Dr. office will be the true testament.

245/235/175
