    Jan 1st: New year, fresh start! Don't expect to lose weight till the 15th though.
    Jan 8th: Glad I remember what I put last week, haven't lost weight yet but purchased a fitbit this week which is actually giving me a good idea of just how sedentary I am and pushing me to exercise more at least ;) . Also making me realize how really close I ate to TDEE during the break. I ate ~1500 calories and my sedentary TDEE is ~1600 calories. We'll see if there is movement next week which is exactly what I'm hoping for :)
    Jan 15th: Not quite as much as I wanted, but good nonetheless
    Jan 22nd: Finally starting to see some movement.

    Just for fun: My fitness resolutions for the year are <25% body fat and run a mile.

    You guys really rocked it! My month was kinda dismal weight wise, but I didn't do so bad considering all the stress I am under right now. But let's go at it again, OK? Here's the link for February:

    I think I should probably mention this is my first month working out and eating right. I am also working out with a trainer 2X a week. It's still me doing all the work... but somehow I still feel I should be honest that I have had help in the exercise department.

    Congrats to everyone for all their hard work!

    Forgot to post on Thursday but I did weigh in :)

    SW: 194.5 lbs
    CW: 189.8
    GW: 179

    Weigh in Dates:
    1/1 = 189.8
    1/8 = 187.8
    1/15 = 185.4
    1/22 = 184.0

    I came in a pound short of my personal goal - but nine pounds in a month where exercise time was limited is still pretty great. It's on for next month!
