MEN: Lose 10 in Feb. Challenge!

Had a slow weight loss week, but I made it YEE HAW.

SW 255
week 1 251
week 2 249
week 3 243
CW 245

Lost one pound on the finl week, wasn't sure if I was going to make it, I weighed friday and was up a pound. Congradulations to all that made it, and to those that lost but fell short. Remember it's a long road and there are gong to be speed bumps along the way.

Well, I didn't quite make it, but I did get myself back on track. I started on Feb. 7 at 313, and I am now at 307.2

Start Feb. 7 - 313
Feb. 14 - 308.8
Feb. 21 - 308.8
Feb. 28 - 307.2
Total loss of - 5.8

It was a rough month, but I am pleased that I managed to lose some weight. I think I am finally getting into a nice workout routine rather than just doing it whenever I can. I'm not there yet, but I think I am on the way and this loss of nearly 6 pounds puts me at 13 total. I'm happy with 13 pounds in two months.

104kg approx 229.5lbs

-4.5lbs

103.5kg approx 228lbs today

-6lbs overall

Weight today is 227.5 lbs, 6.5lbs lost this month- not sure I am going to reach the 10lbs goal though, bad weekend this week!

Can't believe I made it, had one of my best weeks weight loss-wise, 223lb today. The extra exercise paid off!

11lbs total for Feb

I am pretty psyched, this month the challenge made me look at the scale more often than I normally do.

SW 2-10 275 lbs
Feb 1. 236 lbs
Feb 7. 236 lbs
Feb 14 232 lbs -4
Feb 20 228 lbs -4

Total -8

I have been at or about 1lb a week one month closer to being at a more healthy weight.

Thinking about a March challenge. Since many of us use different methods of exercise during the week, why not think about using percentages to measure success. i.e. a 10% increase in distance/time per week is considered the max someone should strive for to remain injury free, I swim, I average 3 miles a week or 12 miles for the month doing laps, success for me would be 15.5 miles for March.

Men I am soo disappointed in myself... I worked hard this week to try and lose more. ate less and exercised 6 days..twice on a couple days and still only lost 1 lb. I was under my calories every day too (counting the exercise ones) Anyways down a lb is still down.

Last week: 238
this week:: 237

Another 'failure' although I don't think failure is the word, 3lb off this week, 8lb in Feb... We're all losers.....

Thanks for all the support

you have to stay focused and determined and remind yourself of how you got here and where you want to be. and turn all the negative bull**** going on in my life into the fuel for the fire on these positive changes. Im trying to prove that I can do what you didn't expect me to do. "if you even dream about beating me, you better wake up and aplogize" -Mohammed Ali

week 4........197 -4.8

can someone link me to the march challenge you're all doing?

Ended up at 259.5 (both yesterday and today). However due to my schedule, my workouts stopped and I ate out a lot (amazing how wings and a beer will slow you down). I am trying to get back into a routine again, however I hit the road Thursday for 5 days again. I am going to attempt to do better while travelling. If I can keep under 260 during this time I will be happy..... once next week starts time to give it a serious go again.
