    Today I'm actually 131.2, for a total of 6.2 lbs this month. My secret, 17 day diet along with the Insanity workout program.
    What I would do next time... do phase 1 of the diet prior to insanity so I would be starting the INSANE workouts on phase 2 with a few more healthy carbs. But I feel amazing and can't wait to post my 60 day photos. My flab is turning to fl-abs!

    Total weight lost: 6.4 pounds! Which is funny because while I upped my calorie deficit from 500 to 750 last week, I've been slacking on working out. However I've also been stressed/dealing with my depression for the past week and I'm sure that did some of the work. Hopefully it doesn't jump back up next week!

    Feb 5 152.2 36.1% fat
    Feb 12 149.4 34.3% fat
    Feb 19 150.4# 29.9% fat

    I am going down in body fat??? Hard to believe esp since that matters a lot more to me than a number on the scale. I celebrated my birthday this past weekend so the sugars and fats added up. I wasn't that active either. Today I went to the gym and walked 20 min and biked 20 min. Tomorrow I will go again and do cardio 60 and weights 30. I am so tired of making the same mistakes. I will persevere!

    AlohaGirl9, you have got great results! Keep going!!

    Update: I recalibrated my scale and the fat percentage is truly not correct as I have not lost that much fat. However the weight measure is correct. Ok, I feel motivated to work harder. I upped my pace walking at the gym :)

    28 Feb

    That looks better written down than I've been feeling about it - a solid 2lbs a week, only 1 more til I've achieved the challenge and a doable if stretching 3 to my own goal. I am going to go over my calorie limit tonight but will do it mindfully and balance it out over the next week.

    How's your goal looking? If it's close - well done you! If it's not quite in sight at the moment, little steps will get you there - just keep going and it's only a matter of time :)

    Everyone is doing well, keep up the good work :)

    special note: I met my goal for February TODAY, so despite the fact that it's not saturday we normally record our weight, i'm jotting it down. Thanks for keeping me motivated, everyone!

    Total weight lost: 7.8 lbs.

    Since Wednesday the weight has been up by 1+ lbs., and I am so afraid to find out tomorrow that my weight remains up high.... Feeling discouraged a little.... Possibly a little hungry as well...:grumble:

    Okay, time to start working out and kick these goals into high gear! My daughter turned me on to a new snack last night, avocado pieces drizzled with salsa, Yum! Thanks, Lynnette. Snacking seems to be my worst enemy, so it's great when I can find something that's healthy and not too counter productive.
