    I will try yet again. not so good last month.
    Robin, My Feb was not the greatest either but we can do it this month.. I'll motivate you if you''l motivate me!!Phyljen

    Can I get in on this Robin and Phylien? I had a bad February also and have been gaining, but Spring always adds motivation for me and I know I can do this, just like I know you both can! :flowerforyou:

    Hey I want in TOO!!! I can't believe I'm typing this but there is a TWO in front of my weight again :sad:

    My SW for March 1st: 201.2 lbs :sad:

    So yes - I gained 3.6 lbs in February! :cry: I am not updating my ticker to reflect that....YET. If I don't show a loss in the next few days, then yes I will update it. Right now I think its from the sodium fest weekend and TOM showing up a week early. :huh:

    Welcome to all the newbies this month! I hope you are all on board for the BMK Challenges. I know I am! Gotta love my pal Bru for starting me in this challenge last summer. It really helped kick it up a notch & the weight dropped off. Now here's to that happening again! :drinker:

    Hang in there Kelly. TOM showed up a week early for me too :grumble: But it showed up after I weighed in today which is probably my only saving grace this morning. I know how determined you are, that 2 will be history in no time. Remember, 155 together by the end of the year is very possible for us both. I say the end of the year, but not Dec.. I think Sept/Oct ish. We got this. And if we get there earlier great, and if it does take a little longer, so be it. We just had our first Thanksgiving/Christmas season on this new lifestyle journey, so we weren't sure how to take it. We've been through summer before and rocked it out, so spring should be pretty spiff too :happy:

    I accept, This looks like fun. Losing is so much easier since I'm documenting things on here.
    Thanks for the challenge and I wish everyone luck.

    ps. If anyone wants to add me as a friend they are more than welcome. We all could use more friends.

    Have a blessed day everybody, April

    I've been on MFP for one week and have gained two pounds! I have been doing strength training and am not too discouraged as the last time I lost weight, I gained five pounds in the first few weeks. A challenge sounds great! If I keep gaining weight, I may just start posting measurements in desperation!

    Kelly-
    Hell yeah! Your going to destroy that 2 in no time!

    Bru-
    I have no doubt in my mind that you will reach 155 by Sept/Oct, I still remember your post about wearing your weight while you walked and you have been inspiring me ever since. You so got this girl!

    Phyljen-
    I’m so happy to read your posts again, I feel happier just knowing your back home with your MFP family.

    Welcome to everyone who is new to the group! :flowerforyou:

    I did my hour walk today, and it feels great to be eating healthy and moving again. (Thanks for the challenge Bru :heart: )
    I feel like March is going to be a great weight loss month for us. Summer time is always a great help for me because I work less and have more time to exercise and I am hoping that spring helps get me into gear before my summer hours start so I can hit the ground running!
