~In your initial post please include your weight loss goals for the challenge, starting weight, starting measurements(optional) and a summary of your diet/fitness plan.
~On Wednesday's each person will weigh in, update measurements (optional) and give an update on their progress.
~I will post weekly rankings on Thursday for most weight lost (as a percentage of body weight) and most inches lost.

I encourage everyone to actively participate on this thread posting questions, helpful hints and support. The weekly check ins are meant to keep us all on track and tweak our plans as needed. Let's all join in together to make this February your best yet for weight loss!

Sorry this is so long, but I'm really excited about this challenge!
I'm Robin!
My weight loss goals for the challenge: 5 pounds...I'm very close to goal and it's getting harder, so 5 pounds!!!
Starting weight:145.4
Starting measurements: waist 31, hips 39, chest 36, thighs 20, arms 11.5
My diet/fitness plan: I am a (mostly) clean eater, so I avoid most processed foods and artificial sweeteners. I also choose to eat very little meat, usually opting for fish or meat substitutes ( However, I do love a good cheeseburger occasionally!) I try to stay within my calorie goals, don't eat exercise points (I get so few), shoot to knock protein out of the park and get my carbs from mostly fruit, vegetables and whole grains. I'm planning to continue eating the way I have been, maybe even cleaning it up more!

As for activity, I love to run and plan to continue that running as often as I can (I commute over 100 miles a day, work full time and have a husband and three kids, so it sometimes running gets pushed to the back burner by circumstance). I also plan to add some strength training to my regimen, I'd like to firm up some trouble spots (skinny, but flabby arms, flabby thighs, mothers apron). I am looking for a gym that meets my needs, as I have no equipment for strength training. I may just start with some hand weights or kettlebells.

"I will leave you with this. Every person who has made a change in their life remembers a specific point in time where something just clicked and they knew this was the moment to change. This is that moment for each of us. Now - today - is the day for change. Forget what happened yesterday and focus on the daily changes you can make that will bring you closer to your goal. If you are thinking, "Well, it is too late, I am too old or too overweight" I want each of you to remember this - post it somewhere you can see it daily -

Here are my stats:

Current weight - 198.4
Goal - lose 10 lbs

I start Week 6 of C25K today so that will last me through the month. I also do the elliptical for 30 minutes at least 3 days a week, Zumba once per week, and strength training 2-3 days per week. I'm also going to start the 100 pushup challenge as my upper body strength is terrible!

I'm so glad I found the continuation from the first post. I just saw this today and I'd love to join! I'm at work right now...but I'll post all of my measurements when I get home tonight

Currently I like to mix up Jillian Michaels DVD's during the week, along with jogging on the treadmill a few times and playing my Wii Zumba a few times a week too!

I've been slacking a bit lately and I need something to keep me accountable! Thanks for the challenge! and as I said, I'll post my measurements when I get home today
