    Starting weight: 317.0
    CW: 193.0 (my last recording in January)
    GW: 185.0
    LTGW: 140.0

    Weigh ins: Saturdays (when I don't have to rush off to work)
    2/01/14 = 191.0 (-2.0)
    2/08/14=
    2/15/14 =
    2/22/14 =
    2/28/14=

    I weighed out in January a day early (on Thursday) because I had clinic appointments Friday and knew it'd be too busy. Then I got sick and lost a pound Friday and another Saturday (not the best way to lose, but hey, it happens)... Anyway, that's why my 191 first weight is so different from the 193 CW. Blah...

    Hope you all are warm and healthy. Let's go!

    10/2/14
    17/2/14
    24/2/14

    I had a bad couple of weeks at the end of January, so am kind of doing a Groundhog Day - same starting weight for the month, same goal! Let's hope it doesn't repeat itself all over again - LOL! I had a bad cold at the end of the month which didn't help, and a bad attitude which resulted in gaining back all that I had lost in the first two weeks. I am slowly getting back to the good habits that helped me get this far, one of which is preplanning meals at least one day ahead.

    I’d like to join this group if I may, on the recommendation of a friend who says you are a great group. I no longer have 100+ pounds to lose, I am down 66 pounds with 86 to go. About a year ago, I was down 100 pounds, but medical issues kept me off my feet for the better part of the year and I put 40 pounds back on. Hopefully those issues are behind me and I can continue the journey. I’m back on MFP, logging everything every day and exercising five days a week and lost 12 pounds last month.
