I am trying to lose 55lbs by April 17th. I have already lost 5lbs. I am on a weightloss program and have just added exercise to my schedule to help me lose inches and retain muscle. Wish me luck.

good luck.im just wondering how come you have to loose it by april 17th.im trying to loose 50 pounds my self but dont have a set date to loose it by just trying to loose it lol.do you have some kind of special arrangements on april 17th?

Well this particular plan that I am enrolled in has figured that it should take me about 17 weeks from beginning on Dec. 16th to lose 55lbs (about 2-3lbs per week), which equates to around April 16th. I am graduating from college in May and my original goal was just to start the new era in my life as a new and more healthy me. Hope that takes some of the mystery out of it for you. Good luck to you to.

thanks and i hope you reach your goal.

Good luck to you!

Well this is the start of trying to lose weight again. I'm 43 I have three children, I would always gain a lot weight when I got pregnant, then after I had them I would lose all my weight by starving myself, throwing up & laxative. Then when I was in my late thirty's I just decided to eat. I don't think that I really ate a lot, but on came the pounds. I'm 5'4 & 200 pounds. This time I would like to do it write.

I started watching what I ate and my poritions on January 9th. Today January 23 I am 10.5 lbs lighter. I have started watching Fit TV and recording Carribean Workout and Fit with Shannon Mann every morning from 7-8. I do those when I get home from class or work 5 days a week and I have noticed how much happier I am and full of energy. I currently weigh 260#s and would like to be down to 150#s (give or take a few). I really do not care what the scale looks like just my body. I graduate in June and would like to be down 3 pant sizes by then. Eveyone else, keep up the good work.

If your interested in working on your eating habbits also......there is a trial of a computer program you could try....www.dietpower.com. I have used this alot and have so far lost 50lbs. Also good support site to check out www.fitnesswithin.com.

Good Luck to you! Try not to get discouraged if you do not lose the 50 lbs..just keep trying and don't give up..YOU CAN DO IT!
