    I am in. My current weight is 191.

    I am down 2 pounds from when I posted this to 189! :smile: 3 more to go in the next 21 days. It is do-able!

    Weighed in today down one more pound to 188 :)

    Last day to lose any weight for the month and I lost one last pound to 187. I was a pound short of the 5 pound goal for the month, but any loss is a good loss.

    :sad: :sad: :sad: Very bad month for me. Had lost 3.2 by Valentines Day but went off track after that and put it back on and then some.

    Feb 1 - 181.4
    Feb 28 - 181.6

    I've regrouped, refocused and recommitted and had a heart to heart talk with myself yesterday after a crazy eat-fest weekend at the beach. You'd have thought being at the beach would have been super motivation to stay on track but NOOOOOO. Not for me.

    I'm putting this month behind me and looking forward to the March challenge.

    Feb 28
    247.8

    Well, I only lost 2.6lbs, but that is a little over half of the planned loss, and it's not a gain so it will do quite nicely! Slow and steady wins the race :)

    Feb 28th weigh in: 175

    This is a great article on how different forms of sugar are processed in our bodies. Scroll all the way down to read the Drs. comments, thats the good stuff. I recommend that everyone frequent Dr. Mercola's website often and subscribe to the newsletter. I did the free Nutritional Typing test and downloaded the free cookbook - it's over 300 pages and free!!!

    Food-wise, most of last week was too embarassing to log or admit...

    As for exercise, I'm starting to make a comeback. Although I missed my yoga on Monday, my run on Tuesday, and my run on Thursday, by Friday I made it to the gym and instead of yoga, I did Thursday's C25k run. Then I did Saturday's run on Sunday, so I would still have a rest day between. And, now I can get back on track this week with my regularly scheduled days.

    I know it's the last day of the month today. I'm planning on going to the gym tonight, but I hate evening weigh-ins, so I may try to weigh in again tomorrow... There's no way I made goal this month, but I will be happy with any loss, however small.

    55, sorry to hear of your diet-challenged hubby. Mine is pretty similar, but not quite so bad. What I find even more distressing than his being overweight and his poor food choices is the 'lesson' my kids are learning: veggies are yucky. Congratulations on meeting your mini-goal!!!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: You're ahead of me now, but I will catch up in March, I promise! How is your new exercise routine coming along?

    Great job this month! I know not everyone made the 5 lb goal and a few maintained but March is here lets get going :love: :flowerforyou: :drinker:

    Ralu19>> We weigh the same!! Horay for us :drinker:


    DM>> Thanks :smile: He has decided to try to eat through the day instead of eating 6 tacos all at once or 3 hamburgers all at once and have that be his only meal (he works graves and sleeps through dinner since he has to stay up in the day time hours because I work the day shift and school in the day on my days off of work) Its really hard for him to find time to try to balance his meals but over the past 4 days he lost 7 pounds! lol : ):smile:

    Haha first I had to catch up to you and now you have to catch up with me but I know you can! We are so in this together:glasses:
    My workouts have been amazing I have gone 3 times in the past two weeks once on like a thursday and again two days last week and Im going again tonight! working out at the school gym when I put the kids to bed is working out soooo well! Its pretty exciting.
