10lbs in 28 days anyone?

weight-scale

I fell really ill about a year ago, and got very thin…almost too thin. Since after I had my surgeries and regained my health, I put some weight back on. More than I would like. I am getting too close to my weight I refuse to go over. Swift action must be taken!

We are going on vacation in 28 days, my goal is to lose 10lbs by then. I feel if I tell the world, I have to do it! Bathing suit season is upon us ladies.

Anyone care to join in ?

Here is my plan:

I must lose a little more then 2lbs a week, to do this I plan to:

  • Exercise 4x a week for minimum of 30 min.
  • Calculate all of my calories on Spark People , (let me know if you are on there we can keep track of each other.)
  • Refrain from drinking any calories (w/ the exception of my already planned pina colada play date tomorrow, but I am only having one!)

If you want to join in sign the Mr. Linky. I will have weekly weigh ins if anyone wants to participate. This starts today for me, but you can start tomorrow if you like.

  3. I so wish I could do this with you! If only it was in about a month or so, when my knee is up to exercising I would totally do it. I am absolutely at the weight I do not want to go over and I am so frustrated, but without being able to exercise, I can't do much. And I definitely cannot not drink calories (I love my beer if I can't exercise). But keep us posted. We are holding you to it!

  5. It's totally possible! I want to join in on the action... but I'm afraid! Ugh, if I enter my name in that Linky, I'm toast!

    Or is it I'll have to eat toast?...

  8. I have to lose more than 10lbs but this is a good starting place. I actually started working out Wednesday but having changed my eating habits yet. Looking forward to the support.

  9. Jennifer made me do this. If I don't lose 10 pounds I am blaming her. heh heh...

    I have the working out part down now...so if I could just stop eating cookies, I might be ok!

  10. I am SO in! I just started my weight loss plan yesterday. My goal is hopefully 15-20 pounds before I leave on vacation in late June.
    You can do it!! Thanks for starting up this little "blogging" support group. :)

  11. Oh I am so tempted to join! I too have an injury that will keep me from exercising the 4X per week. Can I follow along and try anyway?? I need outside peer pressure to stay away from the chips and after 8pm eating!
    PS I'll start following you now!
