    February was a month with lots of learning and successes for me. Another 3.3lbs are gone! Definitely better than January. I'm revisiting some of the basics I was doing when I first started my LC journey. I'm looking forward to the start of a new month, refreshed and recharged.

    January 31st 198.1 (-.5)
    February 4th 195.3 (-2.8)
    February 11th 194.8 (-.5)
    February 18th 192.2 (-2.6)
    February 28th 194.8 (+2.6)

    @stormywxs288 that's excellent! <3 to you too!
    @cgcrutch nicely done, also think about setting a slightly smaller goal as you've been doing this a little while and may loose a bit less, as we know the important thing is to keep going and not to feel you've failed which you won't do as you will still be going down!
    @143tobe welcome and am I guessing that's the weight you want to be??? Good work on the loss of body fat! @NikkiJRM me too........ o:) the refreshed and recharged bit and hopefully less visitors and holidays!
    Here's to March!!

    February 1st: 239.0
    2/4: 242.8
    2/11: 237.2
    2/18: 234.8
    2/25: 233.8
    February 28: 233.6
    Loss this month: 5.4 lbs

    Well even if I didn't make my goal of getting out of the 230s, there were still some milestones in February. I beat my personal best for steps on Fitbit, surpassed 80 lbs lost, and today I wore a shirt that hasn't fit in 5 years. So, February wasn't a total bust :tongue:

    Sorry I didn’t check in as I had planned. I’m trying not to focus too much on my weight but I do want to be mindful so I don’t gain too much by the end of my pregnancy. My final number for February is kind of a wash because I am recovering from the stomach flu. I am going to just say that I made my goal of not gaining any weight this month. On to the next!

    I got really nice, long braids installed last week and now I am scared to weigh myself :D .
    I am going to measure them first, I am pretty sure they are at least a pound!

    Curious, how long have you been chipping away at this FIFTY POUNDS?

    @stormywxs288 I started Keto officially Oct 16, 2017!

    Ending the month at 129. Started the month at 138. I am still tagging a long with you guys!! I love the inspiration you all give. I am focusing now on getting a strong body. I got in pretty darnngood shape a few years ago with Jillian Michaels so I am going back to her. I got her app and am incorporating her workouts in. I am SORE!!! So with 3 kids and weight loss I have a little extra skin on my belly. Not bad l, definitely not surgery worthy by any means. But i would really like to find something to help to tighten the skin. Anyone have suggestion?

    My understanding, along with what @kpk54 already said, is that you need to focus on getting enough protein, especially collagen, combine those with time, and workouts... And the occasional massage, just for supporting blood flow and natural processes...

    But above all...patience. It takes a while for our bodies to relax and go, okay, I guess you're REALLY not going to regain, so we can do something about this loose skin thing... @HaideeJo13
