1st Day of Spring! 3 Months til Summer!

**mamisc** · March 20th, 2010, 01:50 PM

Hey everyone! Today is the first day of Spring and with that news comes the fact that Summer is around the bend! Aaaah I do not want to have another fat summer! Nows the time to do it. Its just SO hot to be SO fat! Last year we bought our 1st home with a pool and I just couldnt enjoy it with everybody like I intended to. This year is a whole new start. I dont want to be skinny by all means, but I do want to be less of a whale. I love this community! You guys are all so supportive and I think that is what has been laking all these years.

Yay I don't want another fat summer either. Even though it's the 1st day of spring it is snowing here in Missouri!

Anyway great job on your weight loss journey so far!

Snowing WOW! It will be warming soon. Congrats on your weight loss also!

I just noticed your birthday! 4/20 Mine is 4/15. Lets make our birthday goals together! While my bday is dreaded by many (tax deadline) yours is celebrated by stoners all over the world. I know because I used to be one! But now I am a grown responsible mom (sigh, to be young again)

I feel the same way. I am NOT spending another summer hating how my arms look in tank tops and just being so uncomfortable in my own body when its hot out. I am at 219 (goodbye 220's as of the morning) and I am hoping to be about 190-195 by June. You know we could turn this into a challenge of sorts for ourselves. Anyone in?

Yep it is snowing in Oklahoma too

.
I want to be lighter also, maybe I will be able to stand the hot humidity if I lose some of this weight. I am in on a summer challenge. I want to lose 20lbs by my birthday. But I don't have a challenge for summer yet

. Keep me posted everybody

**mamisc** · March 21st, 2010, 02:07 PM

I would like to lose 13 more lbs by 4/15. I was so bad last night though

I had enchiladas and tequila. I woke up with a horrible headache, but that is what I get! Im back on the wagon today! Thats how I know things are different this time. I usually would just say "Oh well I might as well be bad today and go back on tomorrow"! Not this time! I am tired of losing the same fat over and over.

Fat Summers...YES I am sick of it!
No more for me... I want to be able to enjoy the beach in some cute women swim shorts not MENS! Which I use to buy in the past. I want to be able to walk in any department store and point and say I want to buy those! Instead of taking my children shopping first then Go to the big ladies store just to get shorts or capri's. I want to shop in style with my children

**rebecca_83** · March 22nd, 2010, 10:56 AM

I am super new to all this but want to say GREAT JOB to all who have lost!

I would love a summer challenge... I have sooo much to loose and not even sure how or where to start. How did you all start and stay on track so well?

**mamisc** · March 22nd, 2010, 12:12 PM

Hey brewcity! Im not sure what to do. Its a little easier to do by lbs. Using % would mean having to use my phen brain. Just let me know

Ok then pounds it is!! I feel your pain on the phen brain. I feel like i forget thing constantly. If we want to base it on the first official day of summer that is June 21. Which is about 3 month exactly from today. I technically call June 1st my first day of summer cuz then I know there is NO chance of snow coming back to WI lol. Plus thats a little shorter so none of us fall off the wagon. Ok so that 10 weeks from today puts us at May 31st.

Do we want to do 25 pounds by May 31st? That would put us stepping into June(and the warmer weather) 25 pounds lighter (and me in onederland

) Does that work for everyone?

Sounds good to me brewcitybaby =) ...wish all of u the best ...

**BrewCityBaby** · March 22nd, 2010, 08:16 PM

Alright...I will get a thread started under New Member then...See you there ladies

**mamisc** · March 22nd, 2010, 08:22 PM

25 by 5/31? Sounds great! So that would put me..... Does anybody have a calculator? Thinking about thinking makes my brain hurt! I seriously look at people while they are talking and just smile and nod! Okay 167 I will be!
