    Late to the party - but I'm in :) and living in Savannah, GA - St. Pat's week will be my "cheat week" for a few months :)

    SW 211
    GW 206

    I'm a Georgia girl too...other side of the state. Savannah's celebration is legendary! Have a great time, and make healthy choices when you can. Add a little extra movement to offset some of the fun. Enjoy!

    Day 3
    I'm a morning person, so checking in now. Today is a rest day from my traditional exercise, but filled with house cleaning, meal planning, grocery shopping and pre-prepping what I can for the week ahead. I'm paying particular attention to snacks to make every nutrient count.
    CW: 199 (weigh-in 2/27)
    GW: 198 (I don't trust the 3 pound loss this week enough to change my goal.)

    Have a healthy week! :)

    Managed to stay in my calorie range all this week. Rode my horses 3x and gym only once. Going to ride again tomorrow. Haven't met my goal of exercise 5x a week but I am close to it. I will try harder this week.

    Small steps count...go you! Riding sounds like a wonderful way to get in a workout.

    12th day straight of not missing a workout. Have had 2 days of shortened ones due to illness, but have not skipped one day!!! 12 days of being under my calorie goal. 9 inches gone and 5 pounds.
    Thank you to this group for keeping me accountable and motivated.

    I'm in! Was doing great this fall running and getting into a workout routine but the holidays and Ohio winter hit (and had sick kids for months). Finally getting back into the swing and enjoying the warming temperature! Joined a ReFit class at the Y and started my runs again today.

    Under calories today thanks to the run!

    Didn't do too well this weekend. Ate more calories than I wanted to. But I did go for a nice mile and a half walk at the park with my fiancé this afternoon. Hoping for a good week this week. Ready to go back to the gym!

    Day 6: under calories today. Found the cravings easier to ignore. I made my step goal but didn't go to the gym. I'll try to go to the gym tomorrow.

    Checking in for the day. Ok so I've lost 3.8 pounds since day one Feb 17th! My goal was 8 lbs for St. patty's Day so I think I have a nice start. I did overindulge as well this weekend. Weekends are the hardest for me. I am determined to get exercise every day this week! Warm wishes to everyone and keep logging and moving! We can do this and just think of the great head start we have moving into the Spring and Summer :)B)<3

    I'm in, I can't say how many lbs I want to lose by then but to at least reach my daily step target of 10,000... far fetched I'm sure but worth a shot.

    Today is day 43 of staying on my program. At least 38 of those days my calories were in the 1200 range or slightly under. Maybe 6 days were under 1500 calories (BUT two of those I spent the day walking around Disneyland). My goal is to remain faithful to my program and not fall off the wagon. I fear if I do, that I won't get back on.

    Day 4
    Woke up with terrible cough and very sore lower back. Will try working out this afternoon when hopefully I'll feel some better. Will check back in later.
