I think I'm going to join in. Last May DH and I planned our first trip to DW with our girls, I was determined to loose weight for our September trip, and he joined me in the quest. We both use my fitness pal to count calories and have started up again after a post vacation/holiday break. My original weight was 204 in April of 2012, my goal for September was 170, which I missed by 1.5 lbs. I was really proud of myself for sticking to it, it helped that my husband was on board, he lost 40 lbs in that same period. So now we have another vacation planned, and we've been working on removing the vacation/holiday lbs, plus getting down some more. So here's the stats.

Name: Jen
Age: 31
Starting weight: (Jan 1) 177.5
Current weight: 169.5
Goal weight: 150

I've been really lax with the exercise this time around and need to get back into it. I'm hoping to borrow a shred or p90x from a friend so I can kick my butt into gear. I have a big goal and just over 3 months to hit it. But I'm determined, and I feel so good with what I've done, it makes the continuation that much better.

Joining! I'm not an unhealthy eater, I struggle with portion sizes - I work in finance so am at a desk most of the day while my partner has a physical job -and I can easily eat as much as him! It's difficult as I'd I cooker lighter meals he snacks afterwards, which makes me want to est more ! I have no will power! I also drink too much so lots of empty calories!!

I am 165 cm tall and currently weight 155lbs. I'd love to get down to 140lb for my trip, that's 15lbs to loose in 12 weeks.

Here goes nothing!

Cutting wine is priority number 1!!!! Then cutting meal sizes!

Ksloane, how long have you used walk away the pounds? I saw this recently and thought about checking it out. Have you had results with it yet?

I've used them off an on for years. I've always seen results and pretty quick when I stick with it. I'm only using it twice a week right now as I'm focusing on the 20 Second Fitness dvds right now. I'm a huge fan though. I probably have 10 different dvds.

Hey Katie!!!

I use Walk Away the Pounds as well and love Leslie. It's simple but effective. Years ago I started with Walk Away the Pounds for Abs that came with the walkaway belt, it was a VHS tape.

I recently got Walk Away the Pounds Express 1, 2, 3 and 4 mile walks with the stretchie band. It works well for me especially when it's cold outside and I still want to walk.

It's also great for anyone just starting out exercising or for people who need a workout that's not as intense as like Insanity or P90X.

Congratulations to everyone who has been losing weight even if it's just one pound. Just keep moving in the right direction and you'll eventually get where you want to be!

I need help to lose weight, I just love food and can't stop eating. I need to lose before my trip in April. What is everyone doing now?

I need help to lose weight, I just love food and can't stop eating. I need to lose before my trip in April. What is everyone doing now?

1. It may depend on your will power, but My Fitness Pal was an eye awakener for me. I realized just how many calories I was eating. I then made it my goal to reduce those calories each week until I had trained myself to eat a healthy amount.
2. If you must eat, make sure you only keep healthy food around. It is very rare to walk in my house and find cake, cookies, ice cream, sugary cereal, soda, etc. If it's not there, I can't eat it. If I do start feeling the need to eat when I know I really don't need to, I go to the kitchen and find apples, bananas, cucumbers, etc.
3. Find small ways to cut calories that aren't as noticeable. I've eliminated soda. To begin, I transferred to sweet tea. Each time I made a gallon of tea, I put a little less sugar in it. Now I have no problem drinking unsweet tea. I also buy 1% milk, and actually use almond milk most of the time. Little changes can add up.
4. Find a way to get some kind of exercise or more if you already are. It doesn't have to be extreme. Walking is a good one. There are DVDs (see previous posts) where you can do that in your home. Even moving 15 minutes more a day burns a few more calories.

Here's my update:

Name: Gina
Age: 35
Starting weight (on 11/16/12): 218
Current weight: 202
Disney Trip Goal (August 2013): 160
Final Goal: 145

Well, did my weekly weigh in this morning (at home) and lost 3 pounds this week. It was the first week doing the "I Want That Body" DVD by Tamilee Webb (the buns of steel lady). I use it for some of my weight training I also do Kettleworx and Walk Away the Pounds Express.

I kinda do a made up nutrition plan. When I say made up I mean made up of a few programs put together. But the basics comes from a book called the Insulin Resistance Diet which is great. I don't count calories and I still eat carbs (I love Fiber Gourmet pasta it's awesome).

I don't always do this weight loss thing perfectly but when I get off track I do my best to get it together again as soon as I can. I was at a virtual stand still with my weight throughout most of the holidays which is actually good since I was eating all kinds of craziness but I wasn't gaining weight.

So hopefully I can really start to make some progress (looking forward to getting out of the 200's) Keep up the good work everyone and don't give up!
