Feb goals
Lostalykat- Lose 4 pounds, Weigh 167, Strength train 2-3 days a week, Track all food that goes in my mouth, Do at least one Yoga class! Assess goals weekly, Make a new recipe 4 times this month.

Well I didn't lose 4 pounds, I was down 2 and then jumped back up to what I weighed the beginning of the month. I am not going to let it get me down. Trying to lose weight right now before my triathlon is just really hard. I train 4-6 days a week and I need fuel. Also with this crappy weather I hardly want to do any extra workouts or even just walks. I am not going to put a scale goal for this month. This is the last month before I go to hawaii. Of course I want to weigh less but that is going to just be my ultimate goal in the back of my mind. Just weigh less than I do when I weigh myself this friday. I had a few slip ups and went out a little too much the past few weeks and I know why I gained these last few weeks. I am going to weigh myself this friday and not worry if the scale is higher and just focus on it being a little less if possible for my trip to hawaii. I did make it to a yoga class, but I did not track everything that went into my mouth that might be a continuing goal. Here are my goals for the month.

Hey ya'll! This is my fist time to do this hopefully I posted correctly. I have been working on my weight since January but this only about my second week on MFP. My goal for March is to get into the 220's. Continue doing my spin classes at least 3 times a week but going to the gym at least 5 days a week. Also I really need to learn how to increase my calories intake to lose weight because I know I am eating way to little.

Hey everyone! Ok I was definitely MIA this month on the boards-- sorry, I've missed you all! I've still been keeping up with MFP as far as trying to stick to my goals and track my calories I have just been SLAMMED lately with wedding and school stuff. Ahh I definitely need a break soon! Luckily spring break is in less than 2 weeks.

As far as my goals, my scale goal was to lost 3 pounds and I lost 4-- success! I'm really happy about that and hope to keep that going very consistently. I wanted to make sure I got to the gym at least 4 times a week.. I think I only had one week where that didn't happen. Another goal was to cut out diet soda.. oh boy. I'm still working on that but this month was not that great as far as that goal goes. I know I need to cut it out and I definitely will. Drinking more and more water will help with that also, and that was another one of my goals.

My goals this month are going to be pretty similar to my Feb. goals. This month I want to lose at least 4 pounds, gym with strength training at least 4 times a week, make my gym time a little longer each week, tons of water and also I need to find my wedding dress this month! I spent one day trying on wedding dresses a couple weeks ago and I cried. I really hated the way I looked. I'm just gonna have to keep going strong and hopefully I'll be more comfortable when it's time to walk down the aisle in a few months.

Good luck this month, everyone! I'll try not to disappear too much!

My update will be below.

my goal for February was-
jnlynch- Be 124 lbs (lose 4 pounds this month), workout at least 4x a week, drink at least 8 cups of water a day, & pack my lunch more often.
& i accomplished this. My morning weight is now 123 lbs & i'm drinking water, using it as motivation most days by not allowing myself diet soda till i've drank my daily allotment of water lol ;o) & i've been packing my lunch almost every day for school/clinical. This is going to be a big month for me, ) i finish nursing school on March 21st!
for March, i want to drop 5 pounds in the next 31 days, workout at least 4x a week, completing my 30 Day Shred & starting the 6 Week Six-Pack, & eat breakfast on weekdays. My reward for this will be buying a VS bathing suit :oD which i've already been online shopping for.

i just read through the goal list & a lot of people are aiming for 2+lbs a week lost, that is going to be hard work! good luck! i was thinking losing my 5 lb loss this month was going to be a lot for me & may not be attainable, but i'm content with not reaching my ideal goal this month, though i'll be trying... you know your own bodies & if you have more to lose then it'll come off faster than the stubborn last few i'm trying to get off. i was wondering what you're doing to take off that much so fast & if you're aiming to be healthy & a lifestyle change or are doing a quick fix-fad diet type thing & using mfp to log it? i'm not judging, just curious.

I can only speak for myself on this one, but I am aiming to lose 9 lbs this month. Normally my weight loss goal is 4-5 lbs a month. Buuut, I took a month off of exercising and have been eating like crap for about 2 weeks. I am counting on a "water weight" loss before I get to my REAL weight loss for the month.

To lose weight- I aim for anywhere from 30-90 minutes of exercise a day, with the goal being at least 5 days a week. I count calories and drink my water. I am not 100% on board with the MFP diet plan. It has me at 1200 calories a day, and I just don't agree with that. I am aiming for 1200-1500 right now. I mainly use MFP as a place to track things because I need a sense of accountability right now.

& Question of the Day-
What have you done today to make you feel good about yourself?

I was planning on walking today- and jogged instead. And I tackled my kettlebell routine. All in all a good workout day!

Hello everyone! I just came across this post & wanted to see if I can still join! I just signed up for MFP this past Friday, and I think this group would be great motivation! My start weight is 150 lbs & I've added my goals to the bottom of your full list!
