    I'm down 2 lbs from last week! If I can keep at this rate, my goal should be within reach. Great job everyone. :)

    Hi Amazons! I was UP three lbs this morning, but I tracked everything this week, only went over my calories a couple of times (and not by a lot), and I worked out every single day except one. I am bummed, but I am chalking it up to a freaky water retention thing because of working out more than usual. I know it's mathematically impossible for me to have gained 3 pounds of anything but water this week, so I'll just plan on an awesome weigh-in next week.

    Of course, this week I'll be on vacation, so we'll see how that goes...Yikes!

    Congrats to all who lost this last week! I on the other hand did not even attempt the scale this morning. Horrible weekend!! My dh b-day so of course we went all out all weekend. The good thing is I worked out hard and burned quite a bit of it off! I will post weight tomorrow.

    Mlove-Yes I am very happy for February, a new month, new resolve! I hope anyway.

    Hope everyone is having a great Monday!

    First Monday weigh in, very frustrated I only lost 1/2 pound.:grumble:
    This is typical of how I loose, the only other plan I have ever tried was Weight Watchers and this was the pattern
    I have been at this for 27 days? and in all that time I have only had ONE day when I didnt get in 10 waters, and that day I still got 6 waters in.
    So H2O is all good, exercise is still a struggle. I have not gotten to the place where "I miss it" if I dont do it.
    I sure as heck dont miss it, I just feel guilty.
    Food, I was under every single day. I am struggling to eat all 1200 cals, sure I could have no problem eating 1200 cals of pizza, sweets, homemade baked goods , chips, etc. BUT to eat 1200 cals of healthy food is difficult for me. I am full.
    But my goal this week is to EAT all 1200 cals. even if I'm not hungry.
    Seems insane, but I have read everything about "starvation mode" and I can see now why I am slightly pudgy.
    I wasnt eating enough and what I did eat was high fat, deep fried , carbs or just plain YUMMY!

    Total loss for January : 4.5 pounds :sad:

    Me too, I actually did 30 mins last night so I can go with that!

    What kind of workouts are you doing? Mine will be mainly toning rather than cardio.

    I usually do 20 min/2 mile run on my treadmill 3 or 4 times a week - but I'm on Dr's orders right now, no strenuous (spelling/!?) workouts, so until next week I'm just walking 30 min at slightly faster pace than a warm up :ohwell: I can't take not working out at all - its driving me nuts. I'm getting an elliptical this weekend though so next week I'll be back to normal workouts - I also got some of the biggest loser DVDs I plan on starting sometime next week (I have 2 small kids & finding time for the gym just isn't possible right now, so I do all my workouts at home)

    I have a personal trainer once a week and we mainly do weight training. The gym I go to has classes so that will be great for me. I am also going to walk a couple of nights.

    I am on my final week of the Insanity program which is 6 days a week, about 55 minutes a workout. I think once I finish month 2 I am going to start over. I love this work out, it has really toned my body.

    Count me in.
    Exercise AT LEAST 30 minutes every day, but in all reality I will do 6 days.
    I am still struggling with forcing myself to exercise every day.
    So far I have been doing the slim in 6 and when I feel to lazy or wait till late in the day I will do the treadmill.
    I am searching for anything that will motivate me to exercise. Its always the last thing to fall into place for me.:sad:

    Well done bojangles!!

    Well I did 45 mins of weitght training again last night. My back was a bit achey though so I think it affected any ab work I did, my stomach doesn't feel as though I did anything!!

    Bad nights sleep last night so I'm going to keep it light tonight.
