I'd like to do this, since I am on a no diet diet. I just need to find somewhere to weigh.

When I joined this challenge on 1/12, I had already lost 14.5 pounds.

On 1/19, I had lost an additional 3.5 pounds.

On 1/26, I lost 1.5 pounds.

On 2/1, I lost another 1.5 pounds.

So that's 6.5 pounds in 3 weeks. I am not sure why I am losing weight faster than I was before, but perhaps this challenge has sparked me!

Total weight loss is now 21 pounds.

I'm in. I weigh in on Mondays so I'll post up data then. 1 pound a week is definitely realistic. I'm in the midst of a plateau but darnit I'm going to break through! count me in!

Great idea IvoryGirl - pls. count me in.
I'm all for the 'being kind to myself' route - and 1lb/week definitely sounds manageable!
I'm starting today at 149lb.
My goal is 139lb by March 15.

Time to get started!

This is my first week being back at the gym in months and today I managed to pull of 45 minutes on the elliptical...a decent feat for me because I really don't like cardio :p. My first official weigh in will be either Monday or Tuesday. I'm not sure how much the scale will budge because I have been strength training and drinking a lot more water than I used to...but I guess you never know!

Hey Sydney and Casey,

So glad to have you join this challenge!!!

I'm done with setting up unrealistic goals for myself. I'd rather lose 8 lbs. in 2 months than go overboard with expectations of an elaborate exercise routine or # of pounds to lose and wind up losing little to none.

Thank you for joining me,
Ivorygirl

I'm totally up for this challenge. One pound a week seems like a fairly simple goal to get things moving...though things aren't always as easy as they seem. Here's to dropping 8 lbs!

No, you are not reading that wrong; just 1 pound a week for the next 2 months. Some of us are just exercise impaired and can't go nuts like some of you lucky ducks.

Anyone in to get thin?
