Wow great job everyone.
Sorry I have been MIA but I was feeling lousy from Wednesday til Saturday, then I had company on the weekend!
Can't remember who had the 60 degree day as I was reading the posts, but I am sooooo jealous! It has been snowing here since yesterday morning. We have gotten well over another foot. The only good thing is that it is not below 0 and there is little or no wind.
I have more to say but my son needs the computer to do a homework assignment.
Later,

Terri, sorry to hear you have been feeling lousy, sending some cheer your way...boy all that snow is enough to get you down...We have a 60+ weather day and I went for a run outside (man was it GREAT!!) and today there is 4-5 inches of snow on the ground.

Just a half a pound off. Doesn't look like I'll make the 5, but having lost 2.5 pounds this month already, if I lose 3 or so this month total I'll be very happy with that.0 -
55, stand guard on that loss so you can log it this Sunday and reach your mini-goal! Don't let scale creep on you like I am doing!
Kelly, so great about that dress! Soon it will be too big for you! And good work getting back under your monthly starting weight!
Terri, hope you're feeling better!
Bru, congrats on your loss this week, and reaching your monthly goal. Looking forward to celebrating -50 with you.
Michelle, the stomach flu may have helped you along, but stay aware, and you can keep it off!
I'm struggling. I don't know if it's one thing or a combination of many (time of month, tired, can't shake the weekend of overindulgence, etc). I know what I need to do, but I just can't seem to do it quite right. I am trying bit by bit... I'm drinking water, making sure I am eating some protein with my lunch today, brought my gym clothes to go for my run...
However, my big drama is that I forgot my headphones. I am in quite a state of panic, as I'm not sure how I'll get through two 8 min runs without the music pushing me though...0 -
Hi everyone! Had a over-indulgent "birthday" weekend but still managed to lose a pound so I'm totally grateful!
Just one more more to go and I'm hoping to meet the Feb goal.
Hoping everyone else is on track ~

When will this cold winter weather end? I'm not doing well on the exercise lately. I want to get out and walk but I'm too wussie to go out in the cold. I should dig out the WII. Congrats to all who are moving and losing.

Probably not going to lose a full 5 before the end of the month, but it is a short month also.
I will be pretty happy if I just lose another pound, because that means that I will have lost my first 10 lbs.!!!! One third of the way to me goal weight!
So I didn't think I would make the full five by the end of the month but somehow I am down to 165.4 as of this morning!

Last week of the February challenge. I'm not even close to succeeding. Need to lose 4 pounds this next week to make the goal. I need spring. I feel so restless with this lousy weather. I want to get outside and am bored inside so what do I do? I pick horrible snacks and nibble. Now they are talking about the possibility of another major snow "event" Sunday or Monday.
Well back to work!
Have a great day!

So far lost 2lbs in total this month, surprisingly 1.5lbs in the past week and i havent been doing alot of cardio recently, been trying to tone up my thunder thighs
Currently I'm at 128lbs, OMG IM NEARLY 8 STONE :laugh:
The start of 2011 has been very busy for me, next month hopefully things will quieten down a little!0 -
I'm back after surgery and tagging for March, will weigh in and see if I can drop a pound or two by the 28th!! (Short month, no fair!) LOL0
-
I didn't see this thread earlier but I would like to be part of the group so I feel like I'm doing this with someone else..and hopefully it will put my weighins in perspective. I'm guilty of checking the scale every morning when it should really be every week.
Here are my weighins:
Feb 1 - 163
Feb 8 - 163
Feb 15 - 161
Feb 22 - 161
Obviously it doesn't look like 5 pounds was going to happen this month. I'm hoping it can next month. Once I got in the 'healthy' weight zone based on BMI (i'm 5'8") it's been a lot harder to shed weight. I'm trying to be more accurate about my calories (I just started using a HRM, which made me realize my calories for the earlier part of this month were not counted correctly.) I'm hoping the end of this month and March will be better!0 -
I'm In and up to the challenge!!! I need to get with it!!!0

Welcome back T, take it easy readjusting after the surgery...
Happy Vegan. I too get on the scale WAY to often..but I find it keeps me in check, if it's too high one morning I'll push water and try to eat better (but lately my eating has been out of control--eating out WAY to much:huh: ) I too am just in the healthy zone for BMI so I find it harder to drop any big #'s also, but my eating isn't as strick as it used to be either, so??
To Bru, Kelly and I forget the other letter...any of you guys up for making a challange like before?? Was just curious, could use some type of good challange....
Congrats to all who have already made the Feb goal, great job to those who are almost there and to the rest of us who didn't come close (including myself) GET WITH IT!! HA! We can do this!!:drinker: :bigsmile:0 -
Keep up the good work everyone, whether you are losing or maintaining.. and as for gaining, you can do it. YOu already have the tools, if you need anything you know we're all here!
And Tina, as for the BMK, I planned on starting March 1st, so be on the lookout!!
:drinker: ****** ******** ****** ******** ******** ******** :drinker:
For those who haven't the slightest clue what BMK is/means.. last year, 2 friends and I decided to start challenging each other every week with an exercise and food challenge, we decided to open it up to this thread. Every Monday, I'll post the weeks challenge, you don't have to participate, it's only there if you want the extra push for the week. I'll have the first week posted March 1st, and then every Monday from that point on. I think many of the ladies in here seemed to enjoy them last year, and I hope they don't mind my posting them again. SO be on the lookout March 1st for the first set of challenges. It may be some that we did previously, but since it's been so long, I think we'll be fine! Also, if anyone has any suggestions, just send me a private message and I'll work them in as I can.0 -
OK - BMK challenges will be back next week! I have to start figuring out some great challenges! I think we all need that extra push from time to time and I'm definitely needing it!
I'm SO ready for spring so I can start really kicking it into high gear & doing more than just my workouts at the gym. I wanted to restart 30 day shred this month, but since I got a new TV a few months ago, I still need someone to hook up the DVD player. :sad: Mr "I can fix anything" aka CJ can't hook up a DVD player! He is electronically challenged I guess! :laugh: I tried to figure it out, but I ended up with too many cables. :noway: :huh:0 -

kintegra > did you get a flat screen? my husband and I hooked an HDMI Cable directly from the bluray player to the tv. if both have a place for that type of cable then that could be an option0

Hi, everyone
i did not disappear but i've had a nasty cold for the past week...the upside is that i barely ate the last few days. I had gained one pound during my weekend trip (well, i did enjoy a nice breakfast, a couple of beers....and a few other things), but even that is gone now.
today i trained for the first time this week - as i was feeling better, i walked for more than 1 hour on the treadmill. It is not much, but it is something and i felt good afterwards.
Let's hope that some more pounds will melt away until the end of this month
bru, looking forward to the coming challenges! :happy:0 -
Eek, I forgot about this topic!
I also got new scales, so my weigh-ins have been weird this month. I also hurt my knee and couldn't exercise as much as I wanted to. Sucks.
February 2nd - 167.5lbs
February 9th - 169.5lbs (new scales)
February 16th - 169.8lbs
February 23rd - 167.4lbs
February 28th -
New Scale Total Loss - 2.1lbs
February has been a bit of a wash out for me 0 -

Yes I did and thanks for the tip - I will see if that works!! :bigsmile:0 -
Down 1 lb this week. Was really hoping to hit the 5lb mark this month...:ohwell: Total loss so far this month is at 3.3 lbs. Will weigh in again on Monday. Don't think I will make it 5 this month. Normally I would be upset and would have lost momentum and just "thrown in the towel". But \i am commited to exercise and although the scale is not flying down I am losing inches. I am really hoping the scale will cooperate with me in March!0

Evening all...just wanted to write a quick note:
In the past I have always been a mom who sat on the sidelines as many of us do because I was to out of shape to REALLY do things with my kids.....but NO MORE!! Tonight was parents vs kids at my sons basketball practice.....I had a BLAST!!!!! It was soooo fun. I could have played all night....and I think my son was proud too because only 3 out of the eight kids parents played....and might I add I was drenched too so I know I got an extra good workout in today...
What a GREAT day!!...:bigsmile:0 -
ugh im losing weight and hubby is finding it!
He wont eat healthy for the life of him but he doesn't eat fast food on a daily basis so i give him that. he works graves and that makes things hard I give him that. But he is 6'4 and found out yesterday he weighs 400 pounds. up from 370 ISH about 3 years ago. I don't know what to do he is so hard to please food wise. I don't judge him or anything like that but I have no medical history on his family because he is adopted....and he doesn't go to the doctor. He has been litteraly one time in the 6 years that we have been together. He has never had a physical and he is 32 years old.
ok sorry for the rant but this is something I worry about. Im afraid I will lose him young. i just needed to vent0 -

What a GREAT day!!...:bigsmile:
AWESOME!!! :bigsmile: I love it! IMO this is way better than a drop on the scale any day!
Although mine are still young to be in team sports, I love chasing my kiddos around at the park and seeing the light in their face while they see me running and playing with them. Priceless.0 -
I'm in! This seems to be a nice/feasable goal.
-1.4 since the 1st so far
2/7 weigh in : -1.6
Total so far for Feb: -3 lbs
2/25 weight in : -2.2 !!
Total for Feb so far: -5.2 !!!!!
I reached my goal! This is the first time I've ever joined a challenge and it feels good to have met my goal. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for a March Challenge.
Total weight loss on MFP : 14
Total weight loss since I've been trying to lose weight = 40 lbs0
