SLOW PLEDGE Starts Today!

[Guest]

SLOW MEANS... SUMMER LOSS'S OUR WAY!

Everyone has their own diet they follow..

so we all lose "our way"

 

It starts today and ends on September 9th,

after Labor Day! Twelve Weeks!

 

I will start, I haven't done as well as I wanted, and since I'm going to be gone six weeks to the river again, my pledge is to stay the same. (of course going to try and lose)

but will be so much food and drink around.

We go with friends and others join us off and on. SO I DON"T WANT A GAIN!

 

Good Luck Everyone!

Well, I am afraid to pledge an actual amount...because I probably won't accomplish it. Let's just say that I pledge to weigh less than I do today. That will make me very happy! (I am so esy to please!!!)

 

Good luck to everyone...

[GinandAl]

I'm with babylene, I pledge to keep the scale going down, no certain amount.

 

I have lost 30 lbs. since Feb. 2nd and still need to lose 30 more! I'm going to do it and keep it off for good too!!

 

Good Luck to everyone joining in the new SLOW PLEDGE!!

Yes, I will join. My goal is to get to 140 by end of the pledge - that would be an 8 lb. loss.

 

Good luck to everyone!

On SWIFT, I pledged 10 lbs, but didn't make it so I'm going to pledge 8. I have another vacation between now and Sept. and I'm sure I'll gain then also.

 

Good luck everyone!

I am hesitant to pledge an amount since I haven't met the pledges so far. When I started dieting, my ultimate goal was 25 lbs. I am down 18, which leaves me 7 lbs to go. I hope to lose that by the end of SLOW pledge, but I have a 9 day cruise in 4 weeks. I think that my pledge will be to keep losing and not gain too much on my cruise.

Count me in-I am pledging to lose 15 pounds.

[ElaineB2]

I'm in too. I pledge to lose 9 lbs. That's only 3/4 lb. per week. Hopefully, I can do that.

Ok, I just read through the SWIFT postings yesterday and though "COOL!" So I think I'll join you all and pledge 15 pounds. The deadline is the day before my birthday and I'd really like to lose 30 by then but I'll say 15 and adjust later.

I'm pledging inches instead of pounds. I was at my doctor today for a cholesteral re-check (it was 243 in Dec). Anyway, my weight was 122 and he said he really didn't want me to lose much more weight as it was a good weight for my body, but he wanted me to add more weight/strength training to tone up the flab.

 

So, I want to lose half of the "wingspan" under my arms and furm up the tummy pudge. When I get home to a tape measure I can come up with specifics.

Count me in -- at age 54 the weight isn't coming off as easy as it used to. Working two jobs, it's hard to find time to exercise and I'M TIRED. Going to drink more water and walk more if I can find the time and energy. Pledging 10 for me. Wish me luck. Hugs and prayers to one and all.

I pledge to lose 25 lbs. I need to lose alot more then that by the time my cruise rolls around!

 

Good luck to everyone.

 

Days till our first cruise without the kids!!!!!!

[SUZYHOFF]

With a crazy food, drink, fun, and traveling summer ahead, I will be happy to stay the same. But, will pledge 4 pounds to keep me on track. I won't promise the loss, but will promise to keep up some kind of exercise program.

[layx2]

I'm in! I pledge to lose 15lbs by then! I've lost 6lbs so far in 2 weeks, so hopefully I'll be at my mini goal of 20lbs. I was looking for a support group for losing weight, I knew I could come to cruisecritic and find a good one!

sw - 204

cw - 198

gw for slow - 183

I'm pledging 7 lbs which will put me at my goal weight. I've got to do better on Slow than I did on Swift.

 

Mir, of course you can pledge to stay the same. If you lose anymore we're not going to be able to find you.

I'm jumping in on the pledge,loose 15lbs..I have just lost 15 in 5 weeks and lots more where that came from. I have never taken a challenge like this and with all of us with cruise or two ahead of us what a great way to start in our planning.

[Guest]

Yes Miriam you can pledge to stay the same.

I am because of going away. Yours is because you don't want to lose more. (Wish that was me)

Staying Healthy is what you have to do.

 

Welcome LLinda, glad your joining us at last!

Glad to see you.

 

Everyone I'm glad your pledging too. I know YOU will

try to make your SLOW Pledge this summer!

 

Good Luck to us ALL. Know Summer is hard but..

WE WILL DO IT!

[yeyamixta]
