Shedding just a few pounds can start to improve your overall health. Losing weight takes time, energy, commitment, knowledge and for many of us … it takes support. :flowerforyou:

Set a reasonable goal for the month
Record your goal on the group thread
Weigh yourself at least once a week
Make an entry on the group thread at least once a week telling us of your weight loss successes and challenges
Do it for your family.
Do it for yourself.
Let’s start working toward a healthier you!
Are you in?:bigsmile:

I'm in, my personal goal is to loose 2 pounds in March, and I will weigh once a week and report back. I am within 5# of my goal weight and at this point a half pound a week loss in reasonable for me. Once I hit that goal and maintain for it awhile I'll then decide if I want to loose anymore.
I'll report is in a format like this:
Date: March 3rd Baseline:0 (can make a note of this, don't have to post)
March 10th +/- of baseline= (how much up or down from basline weekly)
Challenges and successes for the week:0 -
Since I am in weight maintenance mode. My weight goal is to stay within a 5 lb range of my target weight. (134 lbs) My fitness goal is to drop 1.5% in bodycfat. Or 2 lbs of body fat.
My current %BF is 27.8% M
My goal %BF is 26,3%
I wont be able to measure it again until the end of the month. Keep your fingers crossed!0 -

Just asking, is it realistic to loose 2 pounds of body fat in a month when you are at goal weight? I don't really know. Would loose 2 pounds total or lose some and turn some weight into to muscle?0 -
Okay here we go!
I'm doing a challenge

I am also thinking I'll up my daily calorie burn to 750cals M-F. Hope I can do it!! I think I'm going to be one.sore.girl.
I'd like to continue on my latest trend of losing 2lbs per week.
Here. We. Go!0 -
When you are on a calorie deficit, the goal is to drop bodyfat, while maintaining as much muscle as possible. Resistance training and adequate protein will help that. But building muscle requires a surplus of cals! This is my understanding. But you can increase strength and cardiovascular fitness!! All good!Since I am in weight maintenance mode.

I would like to lose 5+ lbs this month. I haven't really been losing for a while. So I am hoping this week I'll get that big initial weight loss, then lose 1-2 lbs a week. Over the past 2 yrs I have gained back 30 lbs...and I really want to lose that this year. I just need to focus and not get side tracked by life.0

I lost 1-2 lbs in February which put me at my pre-holiday weight. Not as much as I'd like but considering the weather that we've had in NE Ohio and the hectic semester including routine 12+ hour days, I can't complain. There were times when I was lucky to get in 2 workouts/week.
I'm shooting for 2 lbs in March which would put me at 164, below my original goal weight of 165. I'm shooting for 160 and will take it from there.
FYI, I weigh myself every day and plot it on a control chart. I have a quality engineering background so I know how to watch the trends. I'll be reporting when my weight is "out of control"0 -
I've lost 16 pounds of the 30 I put on during my pregnancy. Baby is 1 week old. I am planning on being 20 pounds down by the end of March so I need to lose 4 pounds this month.0

I've lost 3.8 more pounds and am at 19 pounds lost since having baby. Only need one more pound to reach this months goal. Maybe I should change my goal.0 -

Checked my tape measure measurements today, and I have lost a tiny bit of inches since July 2013 although my weight is higher a little then it was in July. Lifting heavy weights is working, now I just have to control my intake more....:drinker:0
