    Yay! It makes it go so much easier when you can actually see results! Another 30 lbs and I may actually not hate the way I look. I'm already starting to like myself more just because of putting in the effort, even though looking in the mirror is still not my favorite place to be.

    It is fun, fun, fun to see how well everyone is doing. Good Job!!!

    I had reached my goal but then cheated like crazy last weekend. :( I'll try for a strong end of month, even if it's only two days!

    TheGoal_IsSou: don't get discouraged! You're very close! Maybe get a friend to go to the gym or a Fitbit/UP to encourage you to walk?

    vascof1: great job this month! You did it!

    Total weight lost: 6.5 lbs. Yes! I've been really good the past week. Of course it also was my week off from work and that made it easier for me. We'll see if I can keep this up once I go back on monday.

    cpanus, don't get discouraged. I know you can turn this around again :)
    DJ478, great loss this month!

    Just for fun: What major exercise goal do you have for 2014 and how will it impact your weight? My goal is to simply stick to excercising continually. In combination with healthy eating it should finally help me loose the last 10-12 kilos.

    Despite some slow weeks - I did it! I owe my success to the motivation I got from new friends on this challenge. They helped me get through the frustration, encouraged me to meet all my exercise goals, and kept my head in the game. THANK YOU!!!

    I'm back in February with just a few more to lose - and lots more miles to cover on my bike before I am ready for the road. It's not over yet!

    Good luck to you, mumblemagic - you were SO close! You got this - good luck next month - you CAN do it!

    Now that my nutrition is coming together and my exercise is regular, My goal is to have (.5- 1) pound loss a week. My metabolic rate is slow so I will be pleased with continued “slow & low” progress.

    Have a great February!:wink:
