if you look at how much ive lost this month you could actually say its been a healthy loss. 2 pounds pretty much per week. I feel pretty confident about that. If I can Do this again in February then ill be able to get to pretty much my first goal weight. Im planning on losing 40 pounds by June 1st and so far it looks obtainable. If anyone wants to do this challenge next month I have already made a new page for it. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10071265/february-2015-weight-loss-challenge#latest

Successes: It's only been 2 days but I dropped down to 145 from 146 (which I had anticipated, I think I was holding on to some water weight) so that's exciting! I go by 5 pound milestones so I am always excited to meet one. But now on to 140 for February!

Struggles: I have been having a couple of "I am hungrier than usual" days that I am trying to battle, but I have been and so far so good. I probably need to eat more but I will experiment with it.

Looking to keep up the momentum in February.

Loss/gain for the week: 1.3 lbs / 0.6 kg
Loss/gain for the month: 11 lbs / 5.0 kg

Struggles or Successes of your week: Less than a pound short of my goal This is because I did a tattoo on Friday (as a reward for hitting less than 100kg) and couldn't do any exercise since (I usually ride my bike 1h/day, ~600kcal). Also, I attended two barbecues (Brazilian style, lots of meat and beer, all day long) on the weekend. I didn't overeat nor overdrink, but neither did I worried too much about my caloric intake. No regrets, I enjoyed myself a lot. I consider this month a success.

Just hit 50lbs lost! Huge milestone. Only 13 lbs left to reach my ideal weight. I hope to acomplish that by the first half of March

I'm definitely in... I need the accountability and support! My end goal is to be right around 100-105 but I know this isn't going to happen overnight so 5lbs this month sounds like a good start. Good luck everyone!!

(Loss)/gain for the week: (2)
(Loss)/gain for the month so far: (7.5)

Struggles or successes of your week: Really think these last few days are skewed somehow. Did well with eating and all during the well but didn't lose any weight. Then overnight I'm down two pounds. Feel like it is skewed. BUT that being said I achieve my first goal for 2015. I lost about 6% this month and ran just over 100 miles. I'm in a much better position than I was last year at this time. Cannot wait to enter into February and continue a healthy lifestyle and to lose the additional pounds! Hope everyone had a successful month!!
