    I'm really struggling this month. My weight keeps pushing back up to 54's....
    I'm going to try drinking soup before dinner. I'm hoping it would help.

    John - what is king cake?

    King cake is a pastry traditionally served between Epiphany and Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday, last day before Lent). Usually there's a plastic baby inserted somewhere in the king cake, and whoever gets the baby has to bring it next, so it's kind of a game too. Popular in workplaces in Louisiana this time of year. Here's a Baton Rouge link, but a New Orleans traditionalist would say we're just copying them, and they would be right.

    I know its not your exact goal but you were pretty close! So happy for you! it did not take you long to lose 4.6 pounds!! That's amazing especially since you don't have a lot to lose!
    You're almost in your 60s now :)
    I wasn't brave enough to weigh myself today.
    I'll try to find the courage tomorrow.

    1MadGirl - Lose 4% of body weight (go down to 51.5kg) NO, better skin care NO, start exercising NO
    DID NOT MANAGE. I weigh 54.0kg (up 0.2kg this month)
    dajoloehr - Lose 8lbs YES, splurge every two weeks and not more (?), finish first book YES
    2/3 done :)
    bob - stick to OMAD. Make progress. Extra bonus - to get under 200lbs (?)
    kabrigail - get under 200lbs! (?)
    Laura - get under 270lbs (first time in 7 years!!)
    EVP_NZ - Stay on OMAD every day (?)
    Buds200 - Go down 5.2lbs. Went down to 70.2 yayy :)
    john - not to eat King cake (?)

    How did the others go? I gained weight this month... I've not been able to sleep much. Suffering from Insomnia and I think this is why I have gained. I need to get over the break up.

    The best way to get over a break up is treat yourself like your the only one that matters. :)

    I did not meet my goal. I'm so close!!! I weighed Monday and I was 203. Today 204. I'm almost there. If February wasn't so short I might have made it. Lol.

    I made my goal :) I rarely meet goals I set and I have to say, it feels amazing. I am not WELL into the 260s but I'm there. 268 today

    The stairs thing...nope. But I do go down the stairs every time now...just not going up if it's more than one flight. Before, I was taking the elevator up and down pretty much all the time.

    I'm so proud of everyone! Even those that didn't meet goals. You're still here and you've not given up--that's positive progress toward your goals.

    Hugs to you @1MADGIRL You'll shake that breakup off soon and then WATCH OUT goals! Healing takes time though...it can rarely be rushed.

    I didn't get close to 200 and actually gained a little. I thought 205 might be doable but not this month. I did lose some %body fat and gained some muscle, so I'm happy with that. My main goal was to just do OMAD and I mostly did do that but had a few days I didn't.

    Even though you gained weight, you did really well :)
