I will be turning 30 on October 21st and I want to be in the best shape possible. Anyone else want to join me. I don't know how often I will weigh myself as I get discouraged with using the scale alot. I believe I can realistically get to this goal by then....8 months away.

50 lbs by October 21st......hopefully I can make it to goal by then.

I am with you, I think we can definitly lose 50 pounds in that amount of time, hopefully even before my b-day which is in september, I am all for shrinking myself down this summer.Good-Luck Camcyd!!!.Keep in touch.

Good Luck Maddison27! I am aiming for higher, but I know that goal is realistic for sure!!

Camcyd and Maddison-I'm with you too! I'd love to lose 50 by then, if not before that. I start back to school on October 2nd, and I'd love to be well on my way by then.

Welcome to the challenge Libertatis, we will all accomplish our goals i'm sure. I can't wait to do the shopping for new clothes at the end!!. I am going to try and take up running soon, and I also want to join a gym.Good-Luck all!!

How is everyone doing? I stayed on plan and worked out today.

Maddison, will you run inside or outside? Have you run a lot before? I miss being able to run at least a couple of miles. I was never a big runner, but a couple of miles goes fast and really helps with stress.

I didn't go to the gym yesterday, but I am going today!

Hi guys,
Still doing good, I should be calling my running actually a jog, I jog for 2 minutes before I die!! and then walk for 2 mins and keep alternating for a half hour. I am going to check out a gym by my place tomorrow, it is way too cold to jog outside right now. Hope you both are doing well.

I haven't been to the gym, but once this week. TOM has got me dragging. I should be good by this weekend. Maybe I should hold off on the weights for a couple of weeks and focus on my cardio for right now.
