    I was able to do a workout again! My foot seems to be healed, although I will not be running on it again until next week. I will be doing light workouts to make sure my foot it really OK. I hope this can help my weight go down this week!!!

    Good luck to everyone for the rest of this week!

    Monday... And I'm back with my tail between my legs... I had a terrible weekend; my eating was pretty much out of control most of the time. Weight is back up. So frustrated with myself! :explode:

    It's Thursday, and I have been on track since Monday! :drinker:
    Weigh-in is tomorrow, so I'm hoping for that final pound lost to reach this month's goal with a few days to spare. Looks like I'll have a mid-week weigh-in next week for the final month-end results, which will help keep me on track next week.

    Bru - thanks for dropping in to see us! I certainly miss having you post with us on this thread, so I am glad to have you as a 'friend' so I can continue to get updates from you.

    Yippee! I've lost 5 pounds this month! I can't remember the last time I actually reached goal in this challenge. I know part of it has to do with the holiday bloating and therefore a higher starting weight, but hey - I'll take it! Now, to keep it off for 5 more days!

    Well done DMG - hopefully knowing you've achieved goal will keep you on the straight & narrow when you are tempted !!! I'm nervous about my weigh-in on Tuesday morning already!!

    Well done to everyone that has had a good result. Keep going everyone. This week I lost another 5lb taking my total so far this month to 16lb. I'm going to do a weigh-in on Thursday 1st February morning to get an overall lost in January total. It would be great if I could drop another 4 to round it up to 20 but I don't think I will.

    Well, I guess I'm close enough to my goal weight that I can't lose five pounds in a month :*( Two pounds a months will be more reasonable from now on, I think.
    I'm at 2.2lbs lost this month. Maybe in the next two days I can make that an even 2.5 :)

    January 1: 127.6
    January 8: 127.6
    January 15: 126.4
    January 22: 125.6
    January 29: 125.4
    January 31:

    Goal: 125.1?

    I am still hanging around the 181 mark. No loss but no gain. Another month of staying the same. I am going to kick it into high gear. My 30 year class reunion is coming up in June and I would love to go back looking better than I did when I left. Last reunion 10 years ago I had just had a baby and was pretty big.

    Let's continue this next month.

    Here is the link to the February Challenge.
