    STARTING DATE WITH MFP: May of 2011
    CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT: 272.2
    I've been here on and off for years and the older I get the harder it gets. It's beyond time for me to get serious about my health; old habits die hard and I'm not ready to throw in the towel just yet.

    January 1:
    January 8:
    January 15:
    January 22: 273.4 - Obviously the wrong direction; time to let it go and move on.
    January 29: 267.6

    January Goal: -2 lbs.
    January Loss: 5.8

    February 5: 266.6
    February 12: 270.0 - This is what happens when you're sick and even though you know food won't change how lousy you feel, you turn to it for comfort anyway.

    Weight lost this week: +2.7 lbs Very unhappy with weight for last week. Had a stressful work week which prompted overeating with sweets. Picked myself up and decided to make the most out of this week! My fiance and I joined a gym have signed up for some group spin classes. Planning on going to the gym 2-3 times a week to start off. Changing my EOM goal to 159 lbs to get back to where I was, without it being too much of a stretch.

    Actual weight lost for challenge:

    I'm actually in maintenance right now, so if my weight stays the same +/- a couple pounds I don't mind. I'm adding in cardio for a real slow weight loss until April. In April, I'm going back into a cut, so I hope to see most of my weight loss there. :) I really want to be down below 120 lbs, so if I just do a really slow weight loss from cardio, I think I'll hit it by the end of April!
