My goal %BF is 26,3%
I wont be able to measure it again until the end of the month. Keep your fingers crossed!

So far this month the scale hasn't moved but i'm not going to give up :flowerforyou:
2-3 pounds is my goal---so far just some inches lost0 -
I would like to lose 5+ lbs this month. I haven't really been losing for a while. So I am hoping this week I'll get that big initial weight loss, then lose 1-2 lbs a week. Over the past 2 yrs I have gained back 30 lbs...and I really want to lose that this year. I just need to focus and not get side tracked by life.
How is it going? I gained over 30 lbs. back too. Let's keep at it. We can do this!!!! Hang in there!0 -
I lost 1-2 lbs in February which put me at my pre-holiday weight. Not as much as I'd like but considering the weather that we've had in NE Ohio and the hectic semester including routine 12+ hour days, I can't complain. There were times when I was lucky to get in 2 workouts/week.
I'm shooting for 2 lbs in March which would put me at 164, below my original goal weight of 165. I'm shooting for 160 and will take it from there.
FYI, I weigh myself every day and plot it on a control chart. I have a quality engineering background so I know how to watch the trends. I'll be reporting when my weight is "out of control"
How is it going? I weighed myself every day, but I did not record it or plot it. I noticed that I was in better control of my weight when I weighed daily. I have to work to find that control again. Congrats on reaching your goal weight! :happy:0 -
tried on my pre-preggo jeans yesterday and they fit! YESSSSS! Loving it!0

I've been losing about 2lbs per week. This has been going on for about 6 weeks! I am losing weight I had gained after last Summer. It feels good to have everything working together...logging, exercise, and DEFICIT! It was always the deficit, not the logging or exercise, that hindered me.0

put baby in the backpack and went for an hour long walk yesterday. Hoping to get on the Wiifit tonight.0

I've lost 16 pounds of the 30 I put on during my pregnancy. Baby is 1 week old. I am planning on being 20 pounds down by the end of March so I need to lose 4 pounds this month.
I've lost 3.8 more pounds and am at 19 pounds lost since having baby. Only need one more pound to reach this months goal. Maybe I should change my goal.

lost 6.5 pounds so far this month. Changing my goal to reaching 160 by April 1st.0 -
March 3rd = Baseline determined and noted
March 10th = -3/4#
March 17th = -1/2# from basline ( so up 1/4 from last week)
I will weigh in again on weds as sometimes Mondays aren't my best weigh in day.
Successes:
+ Got in all my workouts
+ met goal of no more than three alcohlic drinks for the week (2 5oz wines and one light beer)
Challenges:
-not eating at as much a deficit as I'd like. Set my daily goal to 1770 with the idea of staying there or under regardless of workout claories burned. If do it right then I 'd be set up to loose a 1/2# a week. Its so easy to eat over and not feel like I ate much....0 -
Everybody is working hard and making progress!
I have a COLD today. No energy to exercise. BUT I also am not hungry, so at least I am not struggling with calorie issues. Still, I LIKE to exercise.
Hopefully I'll be able to have an early AM workout tomorrow. Mornings are rough with a cold!0 -
got my Zumba on
