    Congrats on losing 6 pounds! My month wasn't nearly as productive for January, but I plan on making up for it this month!

    January 1st weight: 199.8

    February 1st weight: 197.4

    Weight Lost: -2.4

    March 1st Goal: 192 or lower (under 190 would be absolutely amazing!)

    Great job on losing 48. Some months are better than others hang in there and I know you can do it.

    Hi, all.... given the problems I had with my digital scale I am assuming a 4lb weight loss for January..

    January starting weight was 231.

    February 1 weight is: 227.2 (which seems to be weight the scale is giving me with its new battery in place)

    March 1 goal is: 222

    Okay here is my weigh in:
    1/2/10 171.0
    1/9/10 168.8
    1/16/10 165.8
    1/23/10 167.0
    1/29/10 168.8
    2/1/10 167.2

    Okay, today is the start of Insanity for me, so I had to weigh in and I will be doing measurements this morning as well. Then I will be taking the fit test here in a few minutes. I am really excited about starting a new program. Ready to sweat the rest of this weight off. I hope everyone has a beautiful Monday and week. Keep up the awesome work. :bigsmile:

    Whoo! I'm so ready for this month. I am nearly all moved in to the new apartment and have found times when the gym isn't crowded. And our furniture is on coasters on the wood floors so I can just scoot the table out of the way to do DVD workous and Wii Active :-) Plus I ordered a HRM this morning. Let's do this!

    February 1st weight: 168.5
    Goal for March 1st: 163.5

    I was 175 when I graduated college last May and have been hovering around 170 since October. Now that I'm out of the 70s, it's time to get below 65! The day that I see the 50s....oh sweet jeebus, I'll bust out the suitcase full of my cute clothes and let myself try them on hehe. It'll be like going shopping, but for free!

    Febuary 1 wt. = 204.0#
    March 1st wt = 199.0# or less.
    Neck = 16in
    Chins = 2 :)
    Bust = 47in.
    Waist =41.5
    Hips = 46
    Thigh = 23.5
    Just to break the 200# plateau will be enough for me! I just signed up for my first 5K and I'm hoping the training that goes into it will give me another incentive to exercise!

    I would like to join, 5 pounds was already my goal for February.

    Jan 1st I started @ 224
    Feb 1st @ 213

    I didn't start this site until later in the month.....so my stats here are a bit less.

    Great idea looking at the big picture.
