Hi all,

Just wondering how January is going for everyone! For me .. work wise it has been extremely busy and that is making it hard to stay on top of my workouts. Diet wise I've been ok I feel like I am doing pretty good and not going overboard :)

    Last week was much better than this week, losing weight and eating choice wise. But, still aiming for my goal!

    For about 10 days this month so far I got extremely sick with some type of cold or flu or virus and that ruined my goal for this month. Looks like I'll be lucky if I lose 2 pounds this month now.

    I've been sick with a miserable cold since late last week so excercise has not happened. I've managed to stay fairly close to my calorie goal so not too bad. Tomorrow will be the tell :bigsmile:

    I've had tons of visitors who want to go out for food and try all the local treats! :-) But I've been really trying to be careful so hopefully I'll see a wee loss this month.

    Dropped my calories back because I had gained about 5 lbs since I started maintenance. Looking good to get back to my lowest by the end of the month. Started boot camp class at the gym on Tuesday, and the weather is looking better for cycling in the near future!

    I havent dropped any weight yet, but I am eating within my goal and exercising (swimming) so I am hoping that I am just exchanging fat for muscle. Have started taking my measurements as well so fingers crossed

    I think I'm doing pretty good, but am anxious to weigh-in tomorrow. Just wish I wasn't imagining that I'm hungry all of the time. It's got to be all in my head because I am certainly eating plenty.

    It is cedar season here so I have been suffering for over a week now. But I haven't missed one single aqua boot camp despite my runny nose. And I have been staying under my calorie counts. So a pretty good month for me so far. :)

    10 down, 5 to go. Feelin good. I'm getting addicted to my daily workout (which is awesome).
    Seriously wondering how long I can sustain losing 4 lb/week, but for the time being, life's good.

    FIRST DAY! woo hoo! Hi everyone! I'm new but I'll be your new best friend now! I love sugar! My husband thinks I'm an elf because I love sugar so much! Its going to be a hard habit to break. Also, I hate drinking water so I'm here to make myself accountable to all of you! I hope everyone has a great week ahead!

    Jho,

    This may sound a bit smart-alecky, but given the group is titled "A Goal a Month", your weight goal on the spreadsheet should represent your goal weight by the end of the month.

    That said, I applaud your ambition for trying to lose 48 pounds in next 11 days, but do make sure your goal is reasonable.

    I'm about 2 lbs from my monthly goal and hoping I will make it there. I started 30DS about 2 wks ago. I have noticed inches lost but I think the muscle build has slowed my weight loss. I KNOW that happens but it's hard for me not to focus on the scale. Anyway, I am trying hard and have my fingers crossed to make it and then set February's goal!

    That did sound a bit smart-alecky but thanks for not minding your own business on the spreadsheet in order to find my error!

    That said, you are doing a great job this month! Way to go!

    I had a bad week or so there in the middle where I was moving, studying to take the most important test of my life (NCLEX exam to become an RN -- I passed!), and had a job interview, so I wasn't really eating so great... The good thing is, I didn't really gain any weight! So now I'm getting back on track by walking and counting my calories again. Not sure if I can make my 5 pound goal this month but I will sure try!
