    Hi. Just saw this challenge. A little late, but I'm up for 3 weeks of a loss (hope!). I go to WW this afternoon, so I will get a definite weigh in. Last month I was 195, looking to get to 190, and keep on going. Started watching what I'm eating (better choices) and am exercising. Going to gym during the week after work and getting on treadmill for 25 mins and then the bike for 15. So far, I'm feeling better. I wish everyone luck! You can do it :) Julie

    2/14/13 goal 135

    1/3/13 weighed in at 149.7.
    1/10/13 weighed in at 147.50 loss of 2.20 pounds
    1/17/13 weighed in at 147 UGH only lost .50 pounds.
    1/23/13 weighed in at 145.7 loss of 1.30 pounds
    Finally some scale movement!!

    I got a FitBit One on 1/12/13 and it really has helped improved me to move more! I did 72,127 steps last week, average was 10,304 a day, 30.95 miles, average was 4.42 miles a day & burned 13,448 cals, average was 1921 a day burned. I love the fitbit and try to beat my steps and miles each day and cals burned.
    Started up at Planet Fitness on Friday, 1/18 and went Sun, Mon and Tues also. I love the gym. Did mainly cardio on treadmill, bike and ellipitcal machine but did weight machines on Sun and Mon. Going to do weight machines every other day and then cardio every day. I still do my walking at home at 5:30 am with my walking dvd and have been walking 1 mile in 20 minutes at lunch time in my office hallways and will continue to do that M-F also along with going to the gym.

    2/14/13 goal 135

    1/3/13 weighed in at 149.7.
    1/10/13 weighed in at 147.50 loss of 2.20 pounds
    1/17/13 weighed in at 147 UGH only lost .50 pounds.
    1/23/13 weighed in at 145.7 loss of 1.30 pounds
    1/31/13 weighed in at 144 loss of 1.70 pounds.
    Not for sure if I am gonna make my goal of 135 by 2/14/13. That's 9 pounds in about 2 weeks!

    I have been loving going to the gym. Was ill Tues and Wed of this week so didn't go but planning on going today after work.
    I have been exercising daily usually 2 miles walked in 20 minutes at 5:30am, walking a mile or more in 20 minutes on my lunch hour at work and then going to the gym 3 days a week and one or two times during the weekends.

    GOOOAAAALLL!!!!! - Met my weight goal!!! 159.6 this morning...and I can do a few regular pushups - nothing too exciting :ohwell: ....next goal is 154 (my trainers goal weight for me) - but I am perfectly satisfied where I am - if I can keep my self in the 155 - 160 range that will work!!! Maybe build some more muscle and lose some body fat %.

    Do we ever reach a place of contentment?
