Megan - I *love* that you've taken to clean eating so much! I am such a huge proponent of "shopping on the outside" and nearly 95% of what I buy regularly comes from the fresh section of the grocery store - almost all protein, fresh meats, and dairy products. Then I pick up whatever whole grains and dry legumes I eat at the bulk/whole foods store. The only real exception is the occasional tin of diced tomatoes, teas and coffee, natural PB, protein powder, sweetener (blast!) and ice cream, which I just refuse to give up
It has made a world of difference in my life to start eating like this and I am really glad that you and many other ladies on here are giving it an honest to goodness effort. Keep it up! :bigsmile:
Measured today and here's the progress so far:
Waist 26.5 on 12/31/10
Today 26.25
Hips 36.5 on 12/31/10
Today 36
Chest 32.0 on 12/31/10
Today 32
Ahem... Yea. Not much progress eh? My back measured 30.5 today, which is 1/2 inch less as well. Didn't think to measure my thighs again but I assume they haven't changed much. C'est la vie!
Protein brownies just came out of the oven! Wooot :drinker: Made them with unsweetened applesauce to replace the banana, splenda and water. Hoping they turn out. In other news, I ran for 18 mins today and my foot is feeling OK. Not great. Was definitely feeling some pressure as I ran :ohwell: not fun. I miss my long runs and just zoning out, hitting the pavement. Hopefully I can get back to it soon. YogaFit and maybe some treadmill action tomorrow. We'll see!
Roasting some veggies this afternoon and then a yummy Sweet and Sour Chicken-Cabbage Soup for dinner - at least I hope it'll be yummy. New recipe time!

Feb goals
Lostalykat- Lose 4 pounds, Weigh 167, Strength train 2-3 days a week, Track all food that goes in my mouth, Do at least one Yoga class! Assess goals weekly, Make a new recipe 4 times this month.
Well I didn't lose 4 pounds, I was down 2 and then jumped back up to what I weighed the beginning of the month. I am not going to let it get me down. Trying to lose weight right now before my triathlon is just really hard. I train 4-6 days a week and I need fuel. Also with this crappy weather I hardly want to do any extra workouts or even just walks. I am not going to put a scale goal for this month. This is the last month before I go to hawaii. Of course I want to weigh less but that is going to just be my ultimate goal in the back of my mind. Just weigh less than I do when I weigh myself this friday. I had a few slip ups and went out a little too much the past few weeks and I know why I gained these last few weeks. I am going to weigh myself this friday and not worry if the scale is higher and just focus on it being a little less if possible for my trip to hawaii. I did make it to a yoga class, but I did not track everything that went into my mouth that might be a continuing goal. Here are my goals for the month.

Feb Goals - 148lb, work out 5 x a week, kung fu 3x a week.
Well I definitely made 2/3: I got the 3x a week kung fu and the work out 5 x a week. Disappointed I'm up to 151 again. Only 1 lb so I'm trying not to sweat it. Don't know if it's muscle or because I've been eating really crappily (within my calorie range still, but it's not good food I'm putting in) or a little mixture of both.
Going to focus on this week upping my veg, fruit, and yogurt and cutting back on my protein. I was eating WAY too much protein / protein bars last week and I think it shows. My tummy already feels better from eating more of the veg / fruit, so I'm going to keep going with that

lose 5 lbs. Work out 5x a week. Try new classes at the gym and no more soda. Be more motivating to my friends and family in anything they are trying to achieve.

Hey ya'll! This is my fist time to do this hopefully I posted correctly. I have been working on my weight since January but this only about my second week on MFP. My goal for March is to get into the 220's. Continue doing my spin classes at least 3 times a week but going to the gym at least 5 days a week. Also I really need to learn how to increase my calories intake to lose weight because I know I am eating way to little.

Just a little friendly reminder, Keep your goals attainable. Shooting too high(even if you have been able to do it before) can set you up for a bad frame of mind when you are not hitting your goals. Trust me coming from someone who is struggling to lose consistantly less is more. Just my 2 cents!
AFM- I am not even going to think about anything negative in my journey today. It is a fresh start and I am doing great today. Feeling a little under the weather so I am going to go home after work and just relax with some yoga. Maybe run to the veggie store to stock up for the next few days. I will at least some some yoga or stretching including some push-ups this evening. I made a yummy seasoned chicken breast that was huge! Should last me most of the week. This afternoon for lunch I have whole wheat spaghetti, with chicken breast and sauteed bell peppers. Sounds yummy! I still have some leftover Pine nut squash lasagna at home which will most likely be dinner with a salad. I want to hit the ground running with positive feelings and thoughts, that is what matters the most.
Question of the Day-
What have you done today to make you feel good about yourself?
I decided to not get down on myself about the previous weekend, I am going to only focus on the good things! Life is too good to waste my thoughts on the bad 0 -
Hey everyone! Ok I was definitely MIA this month on the boards-- sorry, I've missed you all! I've still been keeping up with MFP as far as trying to stick to my goals and track my calories I have just been SLAMMED lately with wedding and school stuff. Ahh I definitely need a break soon! Luckily spring break is in less than 2 weeks.
As far as my goals, my scale goal was to lost 3 pounds and I lost 4-- success! I'm really happy about that and hope to keep that going very consistently. I wanted to make sure I got to the gym at least 4 times a week.. I think I only had one week where that didn't happen. Another goal was to cut out diet soda.. oh boy. I'm still working on that but this month was not that great as far as that goal goes. I know I need to cut it out and I definitely will. Drinking more and more water will help with that also, and that was another one of my goals.
My goals this month are going to be pretty similar to my Feb. goals. This month I want to lose at least 4 pounds, gym with strength training at least 4 times a week, make my gym time a little longer each week, tons of water and also I need to find my wedding dress this month! I spent one day trying on wedding dresses a couple weeks ago and I cried. I really hated the way I looked. I'm just gonna have to keep going strong and hopefully I'll be more comfortable when it's time to walk down the aisle in a few months.
Good luck this month, everyone! I'll try not to disappear too much!

Ok so, I am really glad I set some modest goals because I NEEDED it much more than I could have known when I first set my goals. Feb was a short month but it was also a stressful one. I don’t really need to look back at all of the stressors- some were work related, some personal- and I just never got the momentum I was looking for.Meggonkgonk: To reach 143 lbs and cut down eating out to 1x a week
So- I made it to 143 mostly (my night weigh ins are about 143.5 right now, so while not official, my morning weigh ins are usually a little lighter)
Eating out once a week I have totally slacked on- I’m still at 2x per week almost like clockwork. I may try to work this down in March, but I just don’t think this one is worth it. I like going out and I’m pretty good at keeping it within my cals.
So! On to March!
My first and biggest goal for March- I am ABANDONING weight/scale goals. I am going to make Sundays my “check in” day. But I’m putting the scale away from today through April 1 (I guess technically April 2).
Which means my focus on non-scale goals is that much more important. So with no further gilding the lily and with no more ado:
Make strength training workouts more of a priority (30 min 2x/wk minimum); Eat 1 fruit and 3 different vegetables everyday; Try 3 new recipes (do not have to be “perfect” just delicious)
Kandace- good luck with rehab! Focus on your recovery and we’ll be here waiting for you when you get back!
QOTD: Today, what I’m doing for me is going to bed early instead of trying to “squeeze in” a workout. It’s just too early in the week for me to be this tired.
Welcome newbies (and welcome back old hats)! Guys I know this has been said a few times already but PLEASE consider your expectations- 2 lbs per week is a LOT but is on the high end of realistic. I know magazines and media make it easy to think that if we do everything "right" that 10 or 15 lbs is a realistic goal. It's just NOT. Unless you have a very good reason to do otherwise your weight goals should generally be between 2 and 8lbs a month.
Anywho, I am going to try to be better about checking in this month but life is lifey and such things become unpredictable so we'll see.
Good luck everyone!
Peace,
~Gonks0 -
my goal for February was-
jnlynch- Be 124 lbs (lose 4 pounds this month), workout at least 4x a week, drink at least 8 cups of water a day, & pack my lunch more often.
& i accomplished this. My morning weight is now 123 lbs & i'm drinking water, using it as motivation most days by not allowing myself diet soda till i've drank my daily allotment of water lol ;o) & i've been packing my lunch almost every day for school/clinical. This is going to be a big month for me,) i finish nursing school on March 21st!
for March, i want to drop 5 pounds in the next 31 days, workout at least 4x a week, completing my 30 Day Shred & starting the 6 Week Six-Pack, & eat breakfast on weekdays. My reward for this will be buying a VS bathing suit :oD which i've already been online shopping for.
I went through & added the people i noticed didn't copy this but posted their goals, i hope i got every1!)

i just read through the goal list & a lot of people are aiming for 2+lbs a week lost, that is going to be hard work! good luck! i was thinking losing my 5 lb loss this month was going to be a lot for me & may not be attainable, but i'm content with not reaching my ideal goal this month, though i'll be trying... you know your own bodies & if you have more to lose then it'll come off faster than the stubborn last few i'm trying to get off. i was wondering what you're doing to take off that much so fast & if you're aiming to be healthy & a lifestyle change or are doing a quick fix-fad diet type thing & using mfp to log it? i'm not judging, just curious.
& Question of the Day-
What have you done today to make you feel good about yourself?
Today, March 1st- I worked out (30 day shred) even though I was tired & unmotivated tonight & I took the time to do my makeup before clinical (I don't usually bother with more than a little foundation & mascara while at nursing school).0 -

I can only speak for myself on this one, but I am aiming to lose 9 lbs this month. Normally my weight loss goal is 4-5 lbs a month. Buuut, I took a month off of exercising and have been eating like crap for about 2 weeks. I am counting on a "water weight" loss before I get to my REAL weight loss for the month.
To lose weight- I aim for anywhere from 30-90 minutes of exercise a day, with the goal being at least 5 days a week. I count calories and drink my water. I am not 100% on board with the MFP diet plan. It has me at 1200 calories a day, and I just don't agree with that. I am aiming for 1200-1500 right now. I mainly use MFP as a place to track things because I need a sense of accountability right now.& Question of the Day-

I was planning on walking today- and jogged instead. And I tackled my kettlebell routine. All in all a good workout day!0 -

That makes sense) good luck! intaking 1500 is still a deficit from my BMR, so though it'll be slower loss- it is still something, & MFP has me set at 1200 as well. You can change your settings so MFP gives you more calories daily. 0 -
