    LOL. you will have to do a couple of long tough workouts and burn up those calories. i laugh because i have beene there. a co worker brought in chicago mix popcorn - i thought POPCORN! that is a healthy snack. Ha i found out (after eating several cups) that there is like 900 calories per serving...

    I'm in! Due to the holidays and major work projects, I've slacked the past 3 months. This is just the kick in the pants I need. I want to lose 8 pounds for the month... plan to go to a 1 hour Zumba class 2 days a week, add another day of cardio and 3 days of weights. Will post starting weight and measurements on Wednesday! Feel free to add me as a friend! Good luck everyone!

    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!

    Count me in! I have a competitive side so maybe this will help...

    Initial weight 263 lbs
    Goal weight 140 lbs
    Waist 48 inches
    Hips 50.5 inches

    I am doing a walking program called Walk Off Weight and watching what I eat and counting calories on MFP. My motivation to lose weight is to ensure I am not too overweight to be a bone marrow donor in case I am a match for my sister. So for me, losing weight is not an option.

    I'm in for this one. It seems that every other day I go off the wagon, and I want to be in shape for a trip to Belize near the end of February. This will be great motivation for me.

    I will post my weight on Wednesday, as that is the day I usually weigh in anyway.

    I have about 10-12 lbs to go, depending on what the scale says.
    I am at 1200 calories daily
    I use a pedometer and track my calories that way, usually through treadmill walking.

    Great idea; thanks for starting this. Like others, this may be the kick I need to get back on track (I allowed a trip to New Orleans and then the Christmas holiday to derail me). Starting weight is 169.8. My pre-NOLA weight was 163, so I would like to get back to that by the end of the month.

    Good luck, Everyone!
