I'm definitely in...my birthday is May 24th. Two months should be enough time for me to loose the final 10 pounds. What day of the week do you want the weigh-ins to be on?

Olivia, I'm in! I have a beach trip May 10th, graduate from college on May 18th, and am a bridesmaid in my best friend's wedding on the 24th! I want to be skinny skinny. Or at least a little thinner than I am right now. I'd love to be your diet buddy!

Other than that, tell me more about you! lovingmyboys and I are old buds on another forum, but we are like peas and carrots. : D congrats on all the goals!!!!! I can't wait to get to know you all and keep the train rolling, so to speak! ( ;

I would like to join in. I have an important occassion on 24th and if I can lose 10 lbs by then, that would be okay (I was hoping to be down my 17 lbs by then, but it's harder than it has been in the past), so that would make my goal to be 132-134 lbs by then.
#6	jess1979	Mar 24 2008 14:30
Being honest here - I got nothing going on 5/24/08, but losing 10 lbs by then would still be great! I'm Jess (the peas) haha! 28 year old mother of 2 wonderful boys. I've lost a good bit of weight in the past year - like 60ish lbs, but still struggling with these last 20 lbs - or 30 lbs depending on the day I keep changing my goals...haha!
#7	olivia77	Mar 24 2008 14:48
me too! : D I didn't think about the analogy very hard...how about we are like peanut butter and jelly? you are oh so sweet ( ; and I am smooth like pb? =P LOL I crack myself up. I wanted to be 150 when I went to Vegas, but yeah. I have 8 weeks. I'd like to lose 10 by then, putting me at 174ish. We shall see. ( ;
#8	jess1979	Mar 24 2008 15:45
Yeah I like that better - I am sweet like jelly - much better since I don't like peas or carrots, but I figured I would take the peas since the are round just like me....

So I guess that makes me the bread right?! I'm totally in!! We can do this! See you Friday's for weigh-in!! I'm going to post my inches too since I always forget to take them, anyone else?
#10	djkitten	Mar 24 2008 16:22
This is about my timeline too! I'm going on a trip the first week in June, and will be meeting a lot of my guys old friends so I want to look as hot as possible ;) 10 lbs is my goal for then (i'd like to lose another 20-25 overall), i've lost 20 in the past year so this will mean stepping up the effort!

I have a trip planned for the second week in June and then some major clothing shopping either on the trip or the week after (or both) and I would love to finish off those last 10 pounds by then. My current stats: Gender: Female Age: 25 Height: 5'7" Weight on 3/24: 140.4 GW: 130 3/28 Weigh-In: 138.8 \| 1.6 down \| 8.8 to go It looks like I'm off to a good start, but looks can sometimes be deiciving. 138.8 is my un-magical number. It seems to be the weight that I sit at most. In fact, this is the 8th time I've weighed in at 138.8 this month. Hopefully I'll be able to break through it this time. I guess we'll see when I check in next Friday. 4/4 Weigh-In: 139.4 \| 1 down \| 9.4 to go First of all, I had a pretty bad week. I gave into the cookie craving and made a small-ish batch of chocolate oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Then I proceeded to eat many of them. To make matters worse, my knee got the best of me on Wednesday and I didn't go to the gym. And my sister made apple-cinnamon rolls as part of dinner last night; she doesn't often make dessert with Thursday's dinner. In a way, I feel lucky that I have weighed in as low as I have. Which, in a strange way, makes me think that I'm not doing so bad after all. If I truly have lost a whole pound in two weeks, I'm still doing pretty good because half a pound a week is a bit faster than usual. 4/11 Weigh-In: 140 \| 0.4 down \| 10 to go Well, it looks like I'm getting nowhere, which isn't really suprising. Actually, I was a little suprised that my weight for this weigh in wasn't higher. Yesterday was a pretty bad day because I made a terrible choice when the company took my team out for our monthly lunch and it was also the company's monthly "Cake Day" to celebrate birthdays for the month. I thought it would be even worse because my sister made dinner for me as well and I had a party to go to after dinner. However, I ate too much at lunch and too much cake to worry about eating anything for dinner and at the party. Plus, I started not feeling well toward the end of the work-day (not food related) and pretty much shivered most of the evening and night. Hopefully next week will be better. 4/18 Weigh-In: 138.8 \| 1.6 down \| 8.8 to go As I said before, 138.8 is my un-magical number. It looks like I didn't get off to a great start like I had hoped. I seem to be doing a great job maintaining in the upper 130s, but that isn't intentional. 4/25 Weigh-In: 139.6 \| 0.8 down \| 9.6 to go Apparently every week is a bad week.

Count me in! I need to lose more ofcourse but what an incentive. I will try it with you although I have nothing cool going on until summer time. BTW olivia I checked out the new flicks you look great, can you share some of the booty with me I am soo lacking booty and hips. I'll post my weigh in friday.
#13	rachelrobin	Mar 24 2008 16:39
Count me in! I've got a wedding to attend May 25th, and would like to lose exactly 10 lbs before then. Rachel
#14	thelonereed	Mar 24 2008 19:24
Hey man, I am in as can be. I'm leaving for England at the end of the summer to embark on the most amazing college experience imaginable, and I will NOT be doing so without a killer pair of skinny jeans! Also May 24th is possibly the day of my graduation, so huzzah! I was thinking weigh ins tuesday. But if it's already agreed on friday, then so be it. I hope this doesnt ruin my weekends, ha. so hopefully i will be 170 by then. im going to need a new scale. see you friday! .me.

Hi Everyone, I hope I'm not too late to join you guys. I would love to lose 10 lbs, I don't have anything happening in May, but summers coming and would love to get a bikini. I'm in graduate school, away from home, and spend a lot of time studying and driving= sitting. So, work out motivation is tough. I weigh in on Saturdays, I'm not at home on Fridays, hope that's not a problem.
#16	djkitten	Mar 24 2008 20:52
Any check in day works for me... I'll probably post tomorrow anyways just to get a starting point!
#17	lemntwist	Mar 24 2008 21:23
Okay I will give it a try, although it might be a little ambitous for me, considering my past loss rates :) It will be the weekend before I go to Vegas for some fun in the sun (and oh, yeah wedding planning). Olivia - we will almost be there at the same time! what day shall we do? I weigh every day pretty much, so it doesn't matter too much for me. Fridays? atech - we have the same stats more or less, except I'm 5'5"!
#18	jaanarocks	Mar 24 2008 22:16
Hi Olivia. =) Hope it's not too late, but count me in! I have absolutely nothing going on, but I'll try my best to make something happen. =D
#19	olivia77	Mar 24 2008 22:22
I AM SO EXCITED!!!! WHat a wide and varied group we have assembled with all kinds of enthusiasm. : D Everyone has to "friend" me!! =P I love ya'll already! OK, I like to weigh in Fridays, but just because weekends are a little more relaxed for me. I think though -- less stressful, weigh in when you wanna...... Like on saturdays if that's when you are home or Tuesday because you know Fridays will kill you... ( ; I am mellow. Welcome to all! Some I know, some I don't. How do we wanna do the get to know ya's? ( : What would help you most to stay motivated that we, as friends, could do to make it easier? Like, I know for me.....1) people reading and bluntly commenting on my journal helps me stay on track. 2) people who are actively involved here on cc at night time and on weekends (and every other time too) who are talking away on the post, keeping me busy/non bored/ not eating. ( : How about you?
#20	olivia77	Mar 24 2008 23:06
Ok, so how easy is this!?? When jaana friended me back, I read her profile. duh -- that is an easy meet and greet. So many people live close-ish to where I will be in May. it would be cool to have a picnic or something. I have big plans to meet up with one of my longest cc buds then, ( ; jaana -- you look amazing. Kicking butt and taking names. sorry about the knee.... ------What's everyone's best low cal supper fave?
