    So we're a little more than half way through the month, I decided to revisit my February goals to see if I'm on track.
    *Name: Leela
    *Feb. Starting weight: 181.8
    *Goal weight for Feb.: 175.0
    *Goals for Feb.:
    1. Drink 10 cups of water daily.
    2. Workout 10 hours per week.
    3. no eating after 9, hence earlier bed time, I'm never asleep before midnight, hence, more energy!

    My current weight is 178, so I need to lose 3 more in the next 2 weeks, very doable.
    I am still trying to drink 10 cups of water a day. Most importantly, I am only drinking one soda per day instead of 2 to 3.
    I have been working out 10+ hours a week.
    I am trying not to eat after 9, most days I do well with this!

    How is everyone else doing?

    great job teemleela and losin2live...you guys are really stepping it up.

    Last night I did bodycombat class and bodypump. My sister met me late for pump and was going to stay and run on the treadmill...I planned to walk but ended up running 20min walking 40...so 3 HOURS at the gym...talk about a little extra. Heading out for a run/walk at the beach now.

    Have a great weekend.

    sounds like everyone is doing well...

    I am 2 pounds less than my monthly goal of 195 so I am pumped! Have been drinking 8+ glasses of water which was one of my goals. Plus I have generally been exercising 6 days a week instead of 5 which I count towards my extra daily exercise minutes. I am feeling great!! I have had a few off days but the difference is that now I get right back to it the next day instead of getting bummed out and binging even more.

    I don't think I am going to get to my goal of 175 with only 2 days left in the month. It was possible before my injury. Now I am just happy to be maintaining and not gaining since I am not able to workout the way I had been at the beginning of the month. I know I could have did it .I will get there, it will just take me a little longer. Will there be a 'NO EXCUSES ~ MARCH CHALLENGE' ?? I'd love to be a part of it again and try to get this weight off. I hope the specialist gives me good news next week, so I can get back in the game!

    Feb 28th 195.4

    It's been a long month for being the shortest. After having 3 funerals this month and having 2 teeth extractions, plus Nick being out of work for half the month, woof. I'm glad to see Feb go!!
