    You can do it mmqueen. Believe :) So ladies we're on the final month of the challenge. What have you learnt from Jan and do you have plans to tackle Feb differently? What's your game plan? For me:-

    Jan is tough coming off the back of all the holiday celebrations and then it's my Birthday month too. I still have a lot of chocolate left over and my mother-in-law was late sending a present which hasn't arrived yet so let's hope there's no naughty goodies inside. Another friend was super ill so has also told me there's a package on the way so the restraint and control is definitely having to carry through to Feb.

    Feb for me will be all about portion control, fresh veg and water - that's is my battle plan for this month. It's a short month so let's make it count!

    Have a great Sunday and a Fit and Fabulous February Team :smile:

    I also struggled for most of January :( Gained and lost the same 3lbs since December 23. Then, about a week and half ago, something just snapped and I decided that I didn't come this far to through it away! ...that I'm more than halfway to my goal, and I wasn't going to stop now!

    Just know you're worth it, and you deserve it, and, more importantly, YOU CAN DO THIS!!

    New Month great time for renewed commitment! I think if you didn't gain 7lbs in December you are better off than most ppl. Lets do this together. Make some BIG changes for February!! No Stopping now I agree!

    Game plan for me is to Drink More water. And try to eat healthier. I do feel fuller when I do seems like the more junk I eat the more I want. Last week I had icecream for dinner.. ugh! and I am usually not even a sweet tooth! And it is winter so not sure why icecream! 1) Exercise at least 3 days this week.
    2) Stay under calorie count
    3) No chips of any kind!

    We can do it. My goal for this month is to watch my portions. Setting small goals is more attainable for me. Taking it one day at a time.

    My goal this month is to try and keep my daily calorie intake consistently around 1400-1500 per day, regardless of my exercise.
    On Saturday's when I do my 10K run, I burn 800+ cals, (or even Tues / Thurs when I do my 6K's and burn 500+ cals) which becomes my "excuse" to indulge...then like Astraea05 said "...the more junk I eat the more I want"!

    Sorry everyone!! I cannot access the threads for the challenge on my Ipad. I am rarely near a real computer except at my work and I cannot do personal stuff at work. I have failed at this!! So sorry to let everyone down. I did not realize that the computer issue would be so monumental! :\:s
