January 2015 Weight Loss Challenge

OK I am so in, so I have been on this trek for 215 days and feeling really disapointed in myself over the holidays. I started at 240lbs and down to 186lbs with still 46lbs to go for my goal weight. I am still considered obese by the BMI chart ( http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm ) Looking for some new friends for encouragement and surport.

This will be difficult, as I am traveling abroad this month, but I need some sort of kick in the *kitten*. Too too too long off the wagon.

I'm in. Despite maintaining a deficit I didn't lose anything at all in December which is wildly infuriating (I added running back in to my exercise programme so I think my poor body's still adjusting to EVEN MORE EXERCISE) so I'm totally in. With bells on.

I would like to join. Work has been so busy, and I've put on the weight I worked so hard to lose. Hopefully this will help motivate me to get to the gym, even when it's dark, cold, and rainy when I get off work. This is my first MFP challenge! Let's do it!

Hello... I am interested in being in joining this group and being accountable to others. I have put on 20+ pounds in the last year and was already 20+ pounds heavier than I like to be prior to that. I broke my back a year and half ago... and just had my second surgery in October. Unfortunately my doctor has restricted all exercise until April. I would like to try lose weight via eating healthy and counting calories, until I can begin to exercise again.

I'm in! Although I will be starting properly on Monday 5th. The 1st is my birthday so I certainly won't be behaving myself

I would like to join this group also. I am struggling with motivation right now and I think this may be just what I need. I am also going to be keeping this in my journal along with my neck, breast, waist, hip and thigh measurements.
