I'm new to this. I haven't started the diet but will today. I like the support group component. I'm reading about the June challenge. Can someone fill me in. I'm in grad school. Have always been active but have gotten out of my routine of exercise and good eating habits. I wake up study and write and grab unhealthy food choices. I've gained about 10 lbs. this semester and am searching for something to help with the sugar cravings. How is everyone doing. You all sound very positive.

here are my stats ...........weight - 135; pledge weight by the end of June - 125; final goal weight 117; pledge workout minutes for the week 300 minutes. Measurements - Bust - 34; waist - 29; Hips - 39; Thigh - 23; Calf 14; Bicep - 10.5. :blink

Edit -- My weekly workout pledge is 240 minutes. 30 AM and PMat least 4 days.




Hi.  I would like to join in if it's not too late.  I want to try this CSD, it sounds better than the one my husband and I did last year. 

My info is:    Bust = 38
                   Waist = 32
                    Hips= 44
                  Thighs= 24
                  Calves= 14
                   Biceps=13
Height 5'2", weight = 159#(!!), age 43(if that is relevant),  1st goal = 150#, 2nd goal = 140#.   Then reevaluate.  I was at 135 last summer from walking and lots of water and felt great, but now with new blood pressure meds, etc., I haven't felt like doing that, and the #'s snuck back on. (If I look behind me, I'll find them)

It's nice to see all of the support here.  I'm off to buy cabbage!

Paragon...I've beeen meaning to ask, what is diet delish/  and what is the "grapefrit diet?  or has it been posted before, in which case I will do a search, rather than bothering you!  thx thougy, all the same, but I  am interested in teh "Diet Delish"  You seem so happy with it, but I'm wondering if it's another name for one of the diets we have posted already?

Ladies,

As you can see, I gained 3 pounds I feel so embarrased about this but if we together can beat the extra pounds and reach our goals, all this work is so worth it

For you girls that don't know me, this is me, as you see I have lots of work to do with this body, my arms are nasty and overall needs lots of work. So it's not just Diet but I really need to sweat it off.

I would like to take a before and after picture, sometimes this kind of things motivate us, I will see


I will see you guys around

Charito.

PS: LADIES, if is there any mistake, please let me know, this is just a scratch paper before I post the last table.

OMG, Charito!  You are so beautiful!  I cannot believe you think you need "a lot of work."  I know, we are always hardest on ourselves, but please know that others see you as very, very lovely.

Since you have posted a *before* picture, I would like to also.  Please fill me in on how to insert the image in a post.  I have a digital picture in .jpg format, but that's about all I know about it.  Can anyone help?  Sorry for my ignorance on this...

Thanks!

Also, here are the stats you have missing for me:
Starting weight: 196
WL Pledge per week: 4 lbs
I am confused about the difference between June goal and Final goal.  It looks like some of them have the same number in both and others have a lower number in their final goal.  My final, real, total BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) is 140.  So I don't know if that's what you're looking for in there or not...

Charito my start weight was 161lbs darling I have to get that in cos I was such a lush last month!!! My aim is 2lbs this week! Hey you've got the wrong measurements for me on the chart!!!!!
bust 36" [bra on I'm old lol!]
waist 29"[glad we're not measuring in cms it's so much more!]
hips 36"
thighs 22" [I have fat legs still!]
calf 14"
bicep 11"


My last summer pic for newbies, now no laughing please the chair collapsed!



And here is my picture at the weight I'm at now!



And finally this is what I am aiming for!



PS CHARITO YOU LOOK GORGEOUS!

Hi Everyone!

I stumbled across this site this morning and would like to join your weight loss challenge for June.  My sister's wedding is on July 14th, and at the moment my dress doesn't fit so I need to lose weight...and I think this site will help motivate me.  A friend recommended the soup diet, so here goes....I can't start with the soup until tonight as I need to pick up the ingredients on my way home from work.

Here are my stats:
Starting weight: 164
WL Pledge per week: 2 lbs
WL Goal end of June: 156
Finals Goal: 130
WO Pledge per week: 360 minutes

Bust: 40 (Is this under the breasts or over?)
Waist: 34.5
Hips: 41.5
Bicep: 11.25
Thigh: 25
Calf: 13.5

Thanks!! :)

Okay Charito, here is all my stuff, all at once, so you don't have to flip from page to page and thread to thread to find it!!!

Start weight (Feb 26th)  183.3 
Current weight (this morning )  165.4
Goal weight - June 30th  150
Ultimate goal weight  130 
Weight loss pledge per week:  three pounds (but hopefully 4 or 5 this first week to kick start things!)

Exercise pledge:        
Week one - 30 min x five days = 150 minutes
Week two - 45 min x five days = 225 minutes
Week three and beyond - 60 min x five days = 300 minutes

Measurements: 
Chest - 39"
Waist - 38.5"
Hips - 40"
Biceps - 12"
Thighs - 23"
Calfs - 14"

That's everything, right?

So, I'm up about five pounds since the wedding (May 12th) and up about 2 from the start of May.      I can't even pretend that I don't know why, because I do.  Too much take out, too much alcohol, not enough fruits and veggies.  And to steal a phrase from my hubby, Too much "ass time" (sitting on the computer!!!), not enough exercise!!!! 

I like the idea of before and after pics too, and I love being able to put faces with names.  So, here we go...

This is the absolute worst picture of me ever, but shows the best where I started at.  (My hair is undone, raggy clothes, and no makeup cause hubby and I were remodeling our living room.  The look on my face says - why are you snapping my picture when you should be on your knees grouting with me?)




This is my best after picture I have.  From the wedding I was in on May 12th.  I am the one on the right.  I was 160.8 pounds that day.



Well Charito you look as gorgeous as ever in your picture and you will be a beautiful bride!    And yes, throw some Spanish in every now and then, I think it's great and so "you"!   

And Sally, I am amazed every time I see those pictures!  Wow girl, what a transformation!    You give me such hope and inspiration! 

MaidofHonor and Fiddy, aren't weddings a great motivation?  I wish I had another one to look forward to! 

Paragon, I had to laugh a little at your measurements only because I ALWAYS lose the weight in my chest and butt first and everywhere I need to last!     And my hubby gets so annoyed with me also!  But keep up the good work, nine pounds in May is awesome!    And I will be anxiously awaiting your results of the grapefruit diet!  Do you feel like it is working?  And thanks for re posting that diet info!

Well, welcome to all of the new people!    THere are so many and it won't let me scroll back far enough, so I just wanted to wish you all luck on this journey.

Twilight, how are you?  The weekends always seem so long for me because I am working so much and away from my beloved friend (the computer!!!)   and I hate to be out of touch for so long!  How was your weekend?  I partied a little too hearty   Friday night at my brother's welcome home BBQ, but what the hell.  I missed him like crazy and I hated that he was off fighting that flippin war for so long!!!  Poor guy never had a cocktail the whole time he was gone so it only took a few and he was feeling no pain!!!  I'm going to have to start the 3dd tomorrow, I never made it to the store over the weekend.  But I am still eating healthy today and starting my exercise, and I will start the diet tomorrow.  Sorry if that screws you up at all! 

Brittany where are you?  Please check in, we miss you! 

Okay, I've taken up enough space and rambled quite enough!  (I'm always embarrassed at how long my posts are!!! )  So everyone have a great day, stay strong and healthy, DRINK LOTS OF WATER!!!!! and get the exercise in!

Mandy

Just to check you're still laughing out there I went out for one of my famous bike rides today and they've put up a new sign lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Oh an hubby took a picture of me when I returned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I'll help Charito baby don't you dare get overwhelmed just email me what you want me to do!

Thak you so much for realizing I wasnt here lol. Im so sorry girls I know its monday but CHarito honey can I get in on the june challenge. I was out since thursday and had no access to a computer. Again I apoligize for not being here for you all!

Mandy, since thursday I have been partying like none other alcohol, lots of fattening foods and no excersize. But i did get to walk about a mile yesterday while at the beach after I ate a ginormous hamburger and onion rings if that counts lol. it wasnt very good considering I do not like beef nor can my body digest it properly (which hurts really bad right now). So i think i have gained all my weight back.

Sally, I am so glad you are back, you are our rock. With out you we fall apart so dont leave us again please.


Twlight my friend, HOW THE HECK ARE YA! where did our twhits page go? ;p I missed ya girl. actually Ive missed everyone. I miss the comradery we have on here.
