    2/22
    2/28 (or whatever weigh in days you use)

    Total weight lost: Earlier in January I was down to 195, so this seems to be a temporary bump up that should go straight back down this month. But such a bummer to go back over 199.9!

    Ohhh, I have just joined another group...
    This would be a good challenge....
    And if I do lose 5 pounds this month I won´t reward myself, my goal is 8.8 pounds, so I will just wait for that resutl!
    But I will be very happy if I eliminate 5 pounds! Then I am almost there!
    And at the end of my 8.8 pounds... a watch which counts calories and your heart rate for when I am liftgin.... Definitly that! :smile:
    And maybe, just maybe I will buy it when I eliminate 5 pounds... :wink:

    Just for fun: What are you going to do for yourself when you lose 5 pounds this month? My goals are in 5lb increments. When I lose 1 lb my reward is a massage (10lbs milestone) so I I can do 5 more in February that will be the 15 lb milestone which was predestined to be new haircut and highlights! So I guess my goal is 6lbs for February but will be satisfied with 5!

    I am back for February - Made my January Goal so here goes nothing

    1/1 SW: 211
    CW: 205.5
    Feb GW: 200 - Stretch goal 197

    Weigh in Dates (I adjusted for my normal weigh days):
    2/1 - 205.5
    2/5 -
    2/12 -
    2/19 -
    2/28 -

    Total weight lost: (since 1/1: 5.5) for Feb:

    This month is a biggie for me as at the end of it, I will turn 40. My original plan was to lose 15 in Jan & Feb as I am quitting smoking on 3/1 (the BIG day). I don't think I will realistically make the 15 but if I am close, I will be happy with it as it means that I have set good eating and exercise as habits that will move forward as I put the beat down on smokey.

    My ultimate goal is to be at 130-135. I am not looking for ultimate fitness as of right now- I just want to look good in my clothes again. When I reach my goal of losing 5 or more pounds this month, I plan on treating myself to a massage!
