Subject: Anyone trying to lose 10lbs want to motivate each other?
Hi, I'm Lily. I'm in my 20s, 5'5, and weight about 155. I don't "look" this big with clothes on (have always been curvy) but I'm very unhappy with my appearance. Would like to get down to around 135-140 (I know that's still "fat" by these standards but I don't have a stick body type).
Plan: stop snacking after 8, stop binging on the weekends/emotionally eating, and stop drinking so much! I work out pretty regularly already but would like to incorporate more strength training as I mostly run.
Nice to meet you all!

I’m in!
Nicole, 38 y o, currently 162, 5’5. I want to be at 150 by summer. I’m hypothyroid and tend to lose weight very slowly. I run, do yoga, and some weights. All from home. Walk a lot, donthave a sedentary job so I have that going for me.
I am trying to make my eating window smaller (ie delaying breakfast and having dinner early), cutting gluten, and limiting sugar. I normally have a very healthy/low junk diet. Just tend to eat too much.

Don’t expect any issues avoiding chocolate, cheese, or booze today.
Lucy here: 40-60 minutes of steady state cardio (incline walk) after work. Haven't meal-prepped yet, so the diet portion won't be strict until I get that done. In any case, avoiding alcohol this week.

Thanks for starting this Kate. I think actually typing it out and keeping track is a huge success factor for me.
Lisa: 49; 5'4", 140. Want to get down to 130 (any lower than 130 and I don't look great which is weird given other goals on this thread). Classes at my gym are free, so I want to spin a few times a week and balance that with weight classes/ pilates. Also, walk 30 mins per day (with dog outside weather permitting).
For me, cutting out snacking altogether and drinking more water is helpful. I suck at tracking meals, but generally make healthy meals for my family, so will just moderate portion size.

Summer here! I’m home with the kids today since there’s no school so my routine won’t start until tomorrow. But I plan on getting 20 min on my bike trainer and some heavy lifting for legs. Perhaps a 3 min plank workout. I’ll have 2 scrambled eggs and one slice of toast in lieu of the 3 eggs and 2 slices I had for breakfast yesterday! Baby steps.
Have a great day everyone!
