    What has been the most interesting part of the weather for you and how does it affect your ability to exercise?
    I live in Vermont and its been insanely cold with a wind chill that takes your breath away so I can't go outside much :( Also finding it hard to control snacking when I'm a stay at home mom stuck indoors all the time!!!

    I know how that goes all too well! I'm doing the best I can through February and using the gym rather than going outdoors. Spring can't come soon enough!

    CW - 137 lbs
    GW for February - 132 lbs ( 2 lbs from goal weight )

    This is the kick in the a** I need to finish this off.

    I'll try!

    SW: 230
    CW: 219
    GW (for the month): 212

    It has been really cold and snowy in Central Ohio. But, I've actually gotten to the gym almost everyday (missed 3 days) out of 17. I've gone to the gym in sub-0 weather, high winds, and heavy snow. I'm already at that point where I feel better if I exercise. I'm keeping the exercise to walking and stationary bike right now, but, maybe I'll add some weights in February.

    To Wonder13 above me -- Wow, you are soooooooo close. You'll get there this month! I've got a long way to go, but I would love to be down 24#.

    Oooh, maybe this will help me get past these last few lbs!

    The most interesting part has been watching everyone else. I live in CA. I've lived in ND and MI though, makes me love this state that much more.

    I've been away from MFP for a long time. Silly me for thinking I could go it alone, not track food, not exercise AND not gain any weight. Ha! Thanks for offering this challenge. It has come a long at just the right time for me. Let's do this! Good luck (although if ya work at it luck has nothing to do with it, right?) to everyone! We can all do this and then some!

    I just weighed myself this morning so I'll log today then update on the 1st.

    SW: 215 lbs
    CW: 200.4 lbs
    GW: 175lbs (short term goal wt)

    The weather has been only one thing that has hindered my ability to get moving. Attitude and health issues have been the biggest culprits. The weather just gave me one more excuse. We won't discuss the little gym I have in my house....Shhh!

    End of Month (or whatever weigh in days you use)

    I've been weighing in on Wednesdays. I'll weigh in again on Saturday morning and start from there.

    This cold, cold weather always makes me crave comfort food -- something with potatoes or something with bread! (Funny how I quickly start to look like a loaf of bread myself when I let that happen!) Exercise? What is that? I need to get rolling, but the motivation escapes me. Maybe February will be the month for that!

    Total weight lost:
