    Age:50
    Height:5'1"
    Start weight (1st Feb):207.5
    Goal weight (1st March):201.5

    Weigh ins:

    1st Feb: 207.5
    7th Feb: 205.5
    15th Feb: 200
    22nd Feb:
    1st March:

    Weight loss/gain this week: -5.5
    Weight loss/gain so far this month: -7.5

    Struggles/successes this week: I have no idea why I am down 5.5 but I think it is because I increased my exercise beginning of February and my body adjusted to the difference, maybe. All in all it has been a good week.

    Struggles/successes this week: Every one in the house is sick this week and my FIL is in the hospital. It is tough to stay with getting up early in the morning and doing my walk. I think I am getting sick I want to keep walking so all the extra energy from working out/walking goes to fighting what ever it is that I am getting.

    Have a good day and week everyone!!!!

    Hi there....I started this February group and will be starting one in March too as lots of people are finding it helpful....do feel free to join us for the rest of Feb and hop onto March too.

    I've personally had a 'not great' Feb after a brilliant Jan....so I need March to get back on track.

    Shout out to all Feb folks - will you be joining me for the March group??? I'll set it up in the next few days....it'll be same format - weekly weigh-ins, etc....and of course, you can change the days, etc.

    Everyone welcome no matter what your goals!!!!

    Most definitely! It is such good motivation.

    Hi Everyone!!! Well done for logging....and I see some people are very close to their goals for the month....that's fab!!!

    I've not had a great week and am changing my goal for the month to 165lbs instead of 160lbs....I lost my way a little in Feb after a fabulous January....so, bring on March!!!!

    I'll set the March group up this week so that everyone can jump straight on board after next weeks final weigh in!

    Name: Maria
    Age: 42
    Height: 5'5"
    Start weight (1st Feb): 167.5lbs
    Goal weight (1st March): 165lbs

    Weigh ins:

    1st Feb: 167.5lbs
    8th Feb: 167lbs
    15th Feb: 169lbs
    22nd Feb: 169lbs
    1st March:

    Weight loss/gain this week: 0lbs
    Weight loss/gain so far this month: +1.5lbs

    Struggles/successes this week:

    Half term holiday week for my kids so my exercise routine went out of the window! Also, have eaten out a few times and drank too much. Stayed the same this week but not happy with my overall efforts for February. I did so well in January....and I think it was because I gave up booze, kept to 1200 cals/day and really got into a good exercise routine. I want (and need) to get back to that.

    So....the kids go back to school tomorrow and I'm gonna get back on track....no booze, healthy eating & plenty of exercise. I'm hoping to kick-start by losing 4lbs before the start of March....and then set myself a good goal for next month.

    Good Luck with the last week of Feb!!!!
