    Joan,
    My stats are very similar to yours! I didn't lose or gain during February. In fact, since I started this program after Christmas I've lost only 2 lb. I am at 193 - my goal is at the most 180, but ideally 170. I am 54 and it is much tougher at this point in my life, so I will see how I feel at 180 and take it from there. Since late December, I have finally been back to work after raising four kids for 17 years. I am teaching 3rd grade now....and we have a snow day, so it's a good day to focus on me.

    I love your thread; breaking things into day by day makes it so much more manageable to think about.

    Just for today:
    1. Exercise using yoga video or elliptical
    2. Count my Calories.
    3. Meditate.

    This is just what I need right now! Thank you for starting this!

    1) I will log everything honestly today (even if some of it is bad...)
    2) I will go to the gym and exercise
    3) I will eat healthy the rest of the day! Fruits and Veggies
    4) I will weigh myself tomorrow, even though I don't want to :'(
    5) I will not use my break-up as an excuse to eat out of self pity
    6) I will try not to worry and eat out of anxiety
    7) I will go to therapy (no shame in this game! lol)
    8) I will not beat myself up if I don't meet all these goals today
    9) I will be grateful for what I have
    10) I think I said it all!

    Joan, My month of February ended up pretty good (thanks to you and starting this thread!). I lost 1-2 lbs last month depending on the day I weigh myself it is fluctuating :wink: I really appreciate being in this with all of you and getting the honest feedback when I need it. This is such a great group I am truly blessed to have found you. I started tracking my food again last week after getting feedback from all of you and it has helped. I am feeling really strong and positive. I came up with a 50 minute weight lifting routine to do 2-3 times a week and I accomplished doing it 2 times last week. (Thanks Azulviolet for helping me stop making excuses and get my head all the way in this and not 50%)

    Just for today Monday 3/2/15
    1.) do cardio at lunch today
    2.) lift weights tonight after work
    3.) track all my food

    Yesterday, 3/1
    1. Log every bite I eat - no matter what. :)
    2. exercise minimun 30 minutes :) 33 degrees out, and snow, but I got my walk in!


    Just for today, 3/2
    1. Log every bite that I eat - no matter what
    2. minimum 30 minutes exercise
    3. Do not look forward and worry about the future for my daughter. Take it one day at a time, and only look at the positives in my life, which there are many.
    4. Do not turn to food for comfort.

    Thanks so much everyone for coming back :) I don't have time right now to read all the responses, but I will later tonite.

    I also love this thread -- you guys are my inspiration. Sometimes it is hard to admit when I eat 1400 worth of calories after 9pm. But you guys are all so wonderful and encouraging, it helps me to get back on track, and I hope when we are honest, it also helps others. We are not alone. Losing weight, and changing old habits take time. Sometimes it is one step forward and 3 steps backwards it seems, but as long as we keep trying.

    March 2nd -

    Met all of my goals yesterday. It was an eye opener using the food scale for the first time !! I always thought I was guessing portion size weight pretty close....Wrong !!! lol

    This is something I think I need to do also. Right now, I "kinda" measure my food. It does make a difference!

    Just for Today 3/02


    It's my 12 hour work day and I didn't sleep well last night, so that's all I'm doing today.

    Hope you have time to rest Rae. When I am tired, I tend to want to overeat. Be kind to yourself :)

    Well my weekend sucked but here I am back at it. I didn't log all of my food. Got to be too much and too crazy. So I did go to the fitness center and did 25 minutes each on the treadmill, elliptical and stationary bike. Back on track. Hopefully not too much damage for when I weigh in on Thursday.
