    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 :smile:

    bru, looking forward to the coming challenges! :happy:

    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 :(

    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!

    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:

    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 vent

    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.

    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 lbs

    Feb 1
    159.4
    Feb 7
    157.8
    Feb 14

    as you can tell my last couple weeks have been horrible. I'm hoping my weigh in is better on Monday!!

    Long time no see. I just read the last few days of posts. Keep up the good work everyone.

    The last 3 months feel like a cart going downhill. I feel like time is so busy and going so fast I can't fit everything in that needs to be done. Usually winter seems like a quiet laid back time of the year but not his winter. There just seems to be something going on all the time. I can't believe February ends next week. Where did it go?

    I am slowly getting my eating back under my control (my evil twin has been in control since Thanksgiving) And with life so busy I had not taken the time to organize my eating. I am hoping March is a great month for weight loss.

    Have a great weekend!

    You don't have to apologize for ranting, that's what the Pals part of MFP is for :heart: and you have totally valid concerns about your husband. Are you able to prepare healthier versions of the foods he likes? When I started changing to a clean diet I really didn't say anything to my family and they didn't notice the changes. My husband is 100% Sicilian and he never noticed when I changed from white pasta to Barilla Plus, he says it seems the same. I also have been using some of the tricks where I puree different vegetables and combine them with a dish so everyone is getting their veggies and they don't even know it! There are many resources out there, one book I like is Deceptively Delicious. I get Clean Eating magazine and I also have the Eat Clean series of books. Good luck and ask your Pals for advice any time

    Morning ladies, hope all is well, see that most are atleast loosing some this month and some already have made the goal so WTG girls.....I have been trying to slowly get a handle back on my eating, hadn't had any dinning out food for 3 days, then went to McDonalds with the kids for icecream after swimming, but I think I deserved a treat. I am at 4354 calories burned so far to the week and I plan on getting a few more in today, so workout wise I think I am ok on that front. My weight has been staying about the same so as I near maintenance I am ok with that....Hope you all enjoy the weekend, talk to you all soon.

    fettucini, only with bertoli original sauce, no homemade
    mashed potatoes with pepper and a glob of butter in the middle, no gravy
    Tacos, made of course a certain way with certain brand ingreedients
    enchiladas, made a certain way
    Lasagna , made a certain way
    Chicken noodle from the can ,,Only when he is sick
