    That's a good goal. They say if your dog is fat you're not getting enough exercise. My dog is fat. That's why I'm here. Good luck!

    So not a great start to the month. :grumble: But I am happy to report that I am on Day 7 of being smoke free and in fact lost 1/2 a pound. :happy: At least that shows I am not substituting cigs for food (or at least not bad food). I think this will be a slow month for weight loss but it will keep coming off. I won't give up til I find my better body!!!!! I can hope next week will be better (but TOM is supposed to arrive) so maybe not but the 21st will be my great day :laugh:

    Congratulations! That is a really big decision that you take for yourself and your body will thank you for this sooner than you think. It's been 7 years that I quit smoking and I will never touch a cigarette again. A little trick: when you crave for a smoke, do few jumping jacks or something else cardio. After that you wont want smog in your lungs and you will burn extra calories!

    Good luck!

    I am training for a half marathon on April 7 so that training will be most of my fitness in March!
    3/1 started this morning with a quick 3 mile run :)

    3/2 did my "long" run for the week - 8 miles in under 1hour 20 minutes - YEAH!
    3/3 3 mile recovery run at a good pace - just under 10 minute mile. :)
    3/4 3 mile run
    3/5 3 mile run in the rain at 35 degrees - brr!
    3/6, 3/7, 3/8 total of 9 miles (3 per day)
    3/9/13 - long run today 9 miles

    decided I would like 110 miles in March -have 38 done, 72 to go

    Good job everyone! Keep plugging along.

    No change this week, I'm ok with that as I've had steady losses for all of February. I've upped my weights for my weight routine and have recently attempted deadlifts for the first time. I haven't done any cardio that isn't part of daily life, I'll be attempting to go on a walk with the kids tomorrow. We've had a rough week with everyone being sick and our daughter's hamster passing.

    I'm in! This is going to be my first full month of MFP so I am excited to try this challenge.

    SW: 148 lbs
    CW: 145 lbs
    GW: 140 lbs

    No particular plans to try a new form of exercise this month as I am still getting into a routine and trying to figure out what works best for me. At this point it is more about establishing an exercise "habit" rather than trying new things!

    Good luck to everyone!

    Weigh-in dates:
    2/28 - 144.0
    3/07 - 143.5

    Total weight lost: 1.5 lbs so far.

    Ugh! I want to lose more! Feel like I really did everything right this week, so -0.2lbs is a little depressing. Hopefully it's just one of those things and the scale will be more positive for me next week.

    Good luck with this week's weigh-in everyone!
