February starting weight: 126.3 lbs
February goal: 123.3 lbs
Ultimate goal: 115 lbs
1 Feb: 126.3 lbs
8 Feb: 126.5 lbs * I couldn't figure out why the scale wasn't budging all week -- then my period started this morning. Mystery solved!
14 Feb: 126 lbs * I've officially lost 30lbs from my start weight! I was 125.3lbs yesterday, annoyingly it had to go up today. So it goes. I'm weighing in a day early because my husband and I are spending our first married Valentine's Day together at our favourite steakhouse and I want to relax and enjoy my evening.
22 Feb: 126.3 *I knew these last 10lbs would be hard to lose, but they're really refusing to come off. I'm not discouraged though! I think this means it's time to get off my lazy butt and add some exercising into my weekly plan.

I started trending down again, then had a bad day on Wednesday that shot me up a couple pounds. Why does it only take 1 day to shoot up several pounds (of what is clearly water weight) but then it takes a few days to come back down? So frustrating! Oh well. I am hoping the downhill slide of winter into spring helps. All I have wanted to do this winter is eat.7 -

Going down again. Dunno what the gain last week was about, Maybe my body figuring some stuff out 🤷🏽♀️😁6 -
The roller coaster of one pound up one pound down is so frustrating. My rational mind says the less than 1 pound gain I see today is nothing but hormones. But my emotions are being very loud and obnoxious right now and I’m feeling kind of down. Am I overreacting?

22nd - 347.1 lbs alright! I believe that my lack of sleep and possible dehydration has changed my outcome since I weighed myself on Wed and I was 346.1 lbs. I am going to start slowing working out on the weekends because I don't move around as much like I do during the week. Starting off slow I am still happy about this week

5'3", 58 years old
February starting weight - 176.3
February goal - 171.3
February 1 - 176.3
February 2 - 176.8
February 3 - 176.9 - I am seeing that the only time that I drop weight is after skating. There are 3 public skating sessions per week including today until the end of March. I did more than an hour of workouts yesterday (non-skating) but am still up slightly. It really frustrated me in January. Perhaps skating is more than exercise and is stress relief which helps me to lose weight?
February 4 - 176.0 after skating yesterday.
February 5 - 178.0 - 2 pound gain after a very "good" day. I learned from January about how this happens without reason. Staying on track. There wasn't any skating to go to yesterday, going today.
February 6 - 175.9 - Skating yesterday : - )
February 7 - 174.9 - Skating yesterday. I was afraid this morning because I was only at 400 calories by the time I got home last night from a busy day so ate dinner at 10:30! I thought that I would show a gain from eating so very late. I did burn a lot of calories though.
February 8 - 175.0 - could have been worse, I ate a whopping 2300 calories yesterday!
February 9 - 174.8
February 10 - 175.0 - Up slightly. Skating on the docket today, but also a dinner out. Going to be quite moderate with my consumption during the day to make up for the dinner.
February 11- 175.1 - Kind of expected that after going out.
February 12 - 177.8 - Hopefully just an anomaly. Skating today and tomorrow.
February 13 - 175.8 - Expecting a woosh soon, burned 1500 calories yesterday between skating, walking, snow shovelling! Skating today.
February 14 - 176.0 - another high calorie burn day yesterday with skating and shovelling, but I consumed lots of calories too. I was still in a deficit however. Geez it is so hard to lose weight!! Half way through the month already.
February 15 - 176.6 - No idea why, lack of sleep maybe.
February 16 - 174.7 - Glad to see this since I am hosting mulled wine at my house amidst all of the events of a Winter carnival today. Buffer : - )
February 17 - 175.4 - Okay, still 11 days left in the month. Skating today to hopefully undo some of yesterday lol.
February 18 - 177.4 - Sad about that, it seems that I can't be like a normal person and keep my weight loss up. I had 1700 cal yesterday (but with a 600 cal deficit) and 1900 the day before (with a 500 cal deficit). I have been very active and didn't really eat anything bad. It is a struggle, but I will keep on trying.
February 19 - 177.0
February 20 - 175.8 - skated yesterday and will again today. This has been a really tough month for weight loss!
February 21 - 174.4 - only a week left of the month. This has been a tough one for weight loss. 4 times in the 174s since the 7th, but not able to keep it there.
February 22 - 173.0 - planned night out including wine. I will try to keep consumables light during the day and do lots of calorie burning dance aerobics to make up for it (it being butter chicken, pakora, wine at the ballet etc.) 6 days left in the month in order to lose 1.7 to make the 5lb loss goal. Like January, I wasn't sure halfway through the month, I was gaining weight instead of losing. Staying the course. Today's weigh in is super motivating for me.

I DON’T QUIT WHEN I’M TIRED…..I QUIT WHEN I’M DONE!
I am weighing in on the First and the Last day of each month for a full monthly account.
MY STATS:
Highest weight ever (2014/2015): 253
Original starting weight for this current journey : (1-11-2018) 235.0
February starting weight – 186.9
February goal - 180 lbs
February Actual End Weight:
Weight/Comment:
Feb 01 - 186.9
Feb 08 - 186.7
Feb 15 - 189.0 It was a very nice valentine’s day luncheon & pot luck dinner. And it shows. 3 days of upcoming travel will not help next week’s bottom line either.
Feb 22 - 188.8 Well, it went down a drip. I obviously will not lose the 5 pounds I had hoped for, but I will work my butt off everyday to get my best result possible with the time I have left. I would normally weigh on the 28th, but I will be out-of-town & away from scale so I will weigh on morning of Feb 27th before I leave to complete February’s challenge.

Hooray for another loss... I really need to keep this momentum!!5 -
I'm 5 lbs. down today and have successfully completed the February lose 5+ lbs challenge, so I'm real ecstatic! And that feeling of accomplishment reinforces my goals that much more, so that next week when I go back to work from our one week break, l'll have that extra pull to reach my goal weight because I have already proven to myself that I am capable of doing so and my goal weight is now much more closer.
I love this thread, and I'm keeping it going!
SW: 140 lbs.
CW: 135 lbs.
GW: 125 lbs.
P.S. I'll set an alarm to update by Saturday next week. Until then and beyond then, best wishes everyone!6 -

February 23 - 174.7 - Gained 1.7 pounds for going out. Best to not go out, but I did expect to gain. If I have dinner out once per month I will need to have a 2 pound cushion. It was really great to touch that 173. Hoping to get into the 160s in March and for a couple of months. 150s in May, 140s in August? Haha, getting ahead of myself. It takes so long to get off, and is so quick to come back on. Better to be in the 170s than the 180s or 190s like previous months I guess : - ) Ready for the next decade and to stay there for awhile.
