in Health and Weight Loss
This February Weight Loss Challenge was started Wed. Feb. 1 with our initial weigh in. The sweet lady that started this dropped out because she got an overwhelming response, and she would not be able to chart each persons weigh loss every week.

*For those of us who would like to continue with this motivation, I am reopening this with weekly "weigh in" every Wed. in Feb.
Anyone can join~each person will keep their own chart of weight loss, & you can use the "progress" report area from MFP to chart this month. We are trying for most weight lost this month. Please include what you are doing as far as exercise etc.
*No prizes, except the one you get from your own motivation. :love:

Initial weigh in: Wed. Feb. 1=192
1st week weigh in: Wed. Feb. 8=186
2nd week weigh in:Wed.Feb. 15=_______
3rd week weigh in:Wed. Feb. 22=_______
4th week weigh in:Wed. Feb. 29=_______

I am watching my carbs & exercising on my Gazelle, treadmill, dance DVDs from Zumba & Hip, Hop, Abs at home.
Good Luck!

    Initial weigh in: 203.4
    week 1: 201.8
    week 2:
    week 3:
    week 4:

    Goal weight: 193.4 (190)

    I have to say I'm pretty happy with the results of the first week. I have been counting calories in/out and tracking my exercise. The exercise has consisted of alternating treadmill runs and elliptical workouts 5x a week. In addition to those workouts I walk the beast 3 or 4 times weekly for a distance of about 5 miles. This coming week should be at least as successful as this past week, and due to the fact that Superbowl Sunday is now behind me it will likely be better! I used Superbowl Sunday as an excuse to eat, drink and be merry and it showed. I weighed less on Sunday morning than I did today. I won't lament though, I am owning my "cheating"... and since there are no built in excuses this week I expect an even better result next week! Good luck to all of you and don't give up!!

    Thanks for kinda taking over. I was blown away by how many people were on the post too, and wondered how she would be able to do all that work! Here's my info:

    Initial weigh in: Wed. Feb. 1=145
    1st week weigh in: Wed. Feb. 8=144.3
    2nd week weigh in:Wed.Feb. 15=_______
    3rd week weigh in:Wed. Feb. 22=_______
    4th week weigh in:Wed. Feb. 29=_______

    My goal is to break 140 by end of February. I would prefer to lose more, but I've hit a plateau. Just started going to boot camp and eating my way to fit with a healthy foods cleanse. I'm a nursing mama, so can't take anything (and don't want to). I'm super proud of myself this week because my mini challenge to myself was to drink more H20. The last 3 days, I have surpassed 8 glasses which is a record for me!! :)

    SW - 198
    Today's weigh in - 197.6

    I am going to stick to my workout plan (6 days a week of various aerobic programs at home) and try to focus more on eating healthy foods. I know I overate during the Super Bowl, so now I need to make up for it by eating extra healthy!

    Have a great rest of the week.
