so the guy i'm dating and i have a little "bet" to see who can lose more weight in february. i thought he had some advantages cos he has a lot more to lose than i do, but he thought i had an advantage cos i am not already exercising and eating as well as him, so if i start, i would lose more weight. the loser has to take the winner out somewhere. he has already thought of a place to take me but I REALLY SUCK at such date stuff and have no idea where i would take him. and i have a feeling i'm gonna lose, so if anyone has any good ideas, please tell me! if you live in LA, even better!!!

Hey! Count me in! My name is Erin, I am 24 and I live in Alberta, Canada! (It's about -30C (-22f) here right now, yikes!) My February goals are to get out of the 150's and eliminate snacking that isn't in my meal plan! I've been having a real weakness for cereal lately. I'm a total binger and snacking that leads to gorging is my biggest downfall. I've also noticed a lot of chocolate bars somehow finding their way into my possession. I usually keep my calories under my goal but it's garbage and I want to stop it. I'm also participating in a "February Fat loss" Challenge with a group of kettlebellers on FB so I'm going to try keep accountable to both groups! I'm kind of a MFP addict at the moment so shouldn't be too hard, haha. My current weight (well on my "weigh" day) is 155lbs so 5lbs in one month, I think I can do it! Gonna try keeping up my streak of working out 5-6 days a week. I'm excited for this!

hi everyone, my name is Jennifer, i'm 24 years old & my goal is to be in the best shape i've been in since high school (possibly my life) before i turn a quarter of a century (april 17th). I have been doing wii zumba & just purchased Jillian Michaels' 6 week six pack & 30 day shred. I'm in nursing school 5 days a week, intensive program & i babysit 40 hours a week. I have an awesome boyfriend who tries to be supportive that i've been with for over 3 years. i'm hoping to be engaged sometime in the near future & of course i don't want to be a fat bride. i am currently 128 lbs & my goal is to lose 4 this month. I need to work on getting in enough water through the day, not being lazy about working out, & bringing my food to school more often instead of eating out. a few months ago i realized that i'd gained so much weight in my nursing program this past year that i was the fattest i've ever been at 142 lbs (i'm 5'3") & i discovered MFP. I didn't start to commit to being healthier until just after Christmas when i saw those pictures & i've been recording my calories & exercise ever since.

My name is Kristin, and I'm 26 years old. I live in Corpus Christi, TX. I just joined MFP a few weeks ago. I'm on Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, day 10 and my goal is to continue doing it EVERYday throughout the month of February. I would love to lose 5lbs this month, but I'm more concerned with keeping my calories low and keeping up the excersize! I hope leading by example will get my husband motivated as well. One more thing, I really want to overcome my sugar addiction!!!!

Best of luck to all the newbs! :happy: This thread runs FAST so don't worry if you can't keep up with everyone! Just do your best and post whenever/whatever you like! Most of all, stay on track and stay motivated :bigsmile:
Seripha - I always pack myself an after-work snack of fruit, cottage cheese and cinnamon when I work at the bar because I KNOW I'm going to want to eat something and if I have something healthy on hand, I have no excuse. Tried the whole "brush your teeth" business and that was just non-sense... Takes me 2 mins to brush again! You don't have to be a rocket scientist to get around that one
... LOL Sad, eh? Work in progress...
AFM - Ran 4.0miles today at the gym and burned it up. 589 calories. Thank goodness it's just a run day, though because my body is HURTING.
QOTD - I plan our my meals and I eat 6 times a day - every day. Today is no different. Feb is going to just be an extension of my healthy living for the past 5 months! :happy: Though I did set new goals so I suppose that's how I'm revving up for February... :huh:

Question of the Day (QOTD)
What are you doing today to get ready for this month?
Well I'm doing water aerobics tonight and tomorrow and starting my 30 day shred challenge on Thursday am. Meal planning is also key for me so staying ahead of the game and making sure that we don't run out of 'healthy options' is important. Then there really is no excuse for ordering take out or delivery....I've also been collecting low cal recipes that I will try during the month!!0 -

Hey all,
Been MIA all weekend, soooo busy!! Work this week is also ridiculous, and I've been spending my commuter trips reading fitness and healthy cooking magazines to refocus after the weekend. I tried to be good over the weekend but I didn't do the greatest job of it, and this morning my weight is 130lbs so didn't make my january goal
Sorry this is just going to be a quick selfish post to state my February goals. I think I really need to buckle down and tell myself the parties over for a little while. These weekends need to stop!!! I know if I could just avoid drinking on weekends I'd have no problems reaching my goals. Sooo goals for feb;
NO drinking (harsh to just stop cold turkey but needs to be done that way)
prepare all my meals at home, and pack all my lunches
up my strength training sessions to two upper body and two lower body workouts per week
Lose the 2lbs I didn't lose in January plus the 4lbs I had planned to lose in February - goal is to be 124lbs March 1st. Probably being too ambitious but hopefully it will help me focus.

My name is Kristin, and I'm 26 years old. I live in Corpus Christi, TX. I just joined MFP a few weeks ago. I'm on Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, day 10 and my goal is to continue doing it EVERYday throughout the month of February. I would love to lose 5lbs this month, but I'm more concerned with keeping my calories low and keeping up the excersize! I hope leading by example will get my husband motivated as well. One more thing, I really want to overcome my sugar addiction!!!!
i have a huge sugar addiction too! for me, my greatest weakness was chocolate, so i just had to not eat chocolate at all. so far since i've 'abstained', i only broke my chocolate fast once with a cadbury caramel egg (i love those things). i've also not eaten any cookies for a week (even though i have two bags sitting in my kitchen!)! woo!
so i did write a little about sugar addiction in this "diet" blog that i am one of the featured writers for - http://www.whatstheskinnie.com/rachel-vegan-journal/
it's mostly about my journey to weight loss as well as my journey from vegetarianism to veganism!
if anyone has great exercise tips to working at home, that would be great too! i have a mat and 5-lb dumbbells. i also have a jump rope but i am afraid the downstairs neighbors might think there's a giant earthquake going on if i jump at home..0 -
I have totally been MIA since I came back from my cruise!! The cruise was a weekend of indulging in alcohol and a few morsels of food every now and then. Then I came back and got super sick. I am still recovering from the cold but I am back and ready for this month's challenge. I am going to Vegas and have a friend's wedding in 6 weeks and I want to look fabulous for the boy and to show off in front of my friends. So I am ready to bring it. The first day of the month has been a bust but I am back on the wagon starting now!!!

Hello everyone! I am new as well.... 23 years old and 5'6". I'm currently weighing in at 160, and for February it is my goal to hit under 155 - which is the first weight to be in a healthy BMI! 5 pounds away! Ideally, I want to weigh 152 by the end of the month, but I'm just gonna say 155 to be safe. I have a desk job, work out 5x a week doing 90-120 minutes of cardio... I bounce around in calories alot (2 days 1100, 3 days 1400, 2 days 1800-2100!). I'm aiming to be more consistent this month and to only have one over day a week, and the rest on track around 1200-1500 (this would mean eating up to 300 exercise cals a day). Of course drinking my water day after day. You pay the price just slacking one day!

Holy jumping!!! Welcome to all the new people! This thread moves REALLY quick with lots of support, motivation, recipes, advice and anything else you can imagine!!!
Sorry I've been a little MIA lately...I've been reading the posts just not a lot of time to respond. Going to try and make more of an effort this month!
As far as my January goals: I have maintained between 121-123 pounds for the month which I am quite happy with. I finished the first 4 weeks of my 1/2 marathon training and began week 5 yesterday. I have also been able to continue to cook mostly new (I would say at least 2 new dinner recipes a week) for my family...most have gone over pretty well and a few need to be tweaked to fit the taste buds of my two girls.
AFM: For February I don't want to change too much: continue my 1/2 training using Hal Higdon Intermediate, maintain weight, continue to try 2-3 new dinner recipes, eat at least 6 servings of fruit and veggies a day.
Yesterday I got in my strength (No More Trouble Zones-finished the entire 40 minutes) and my legs are feeling it today especially after my 7 miler on Sunday....:noway: Got in 4 on the treadmill today at a steady 6mph. Found out already that there's no school tomorrow-so yeah for a snow day!!!! I won't have any trouble getting in my speed intervals :happy:
Have a great night everyone!!!!
