February Losers! 10lbs gone by March 1st!

Hi all its abit of a steep challenge but I will give it ago im currently 167lbs and I would be happy with 153 but perfect would be 146 for me. im 25 and 5 ft 5

I am loosing alot slower than most I think its due to me not liking many veggies, if anyone has any great loss's please feel free to share some tips with me! X

I'm in! I'm currently at 162 lbs and have a beach vacation coming up at the end of February! Being away from home is always what derails my diet so hopefully I can get the ball rolling and keep eating healthy and working out on my trip.

I'm definitely in! I'm Brittany and 25. I want to start this and start losing now before the summer. I also sent a request to join the group.

Ok I am just frustrated. I have a fitbit and it usually does pretty well tracking my steps, but tonight I did the elliptical and it didn't count all my steps and it said I had no active. I was sweating my butt off.

I wouldn't trust something like a fit bit for an elliptical trainer it is made to track you moving forward and with an elliptical you don't really move forward in space. My pedometer wouldn't track that either. Just go to add cardiovascular activity and type in elliptical trainer and add in the number of minutes and it will count calories. To be really accurate if the elliptical trainer you were on has a calorie count for your workout then adjust the minutes in myfitnesspal to match those calories. Everyone works out at different intensities and calories burned will vary by a persons weight, muscle composition, etc. so this would be more accurate than a pure minute calculation. That is how I put in my walking.

I'm in. Will be starting at the gym in about a week due to other commitments.

You could also put your Fitbit on your shoe. I use to strap mine into the laces. They also have a new Fitbit that tracks your heart rate. I just upgraded mine and feel I get a better picture of my overall activity.

In!

Currently 124, carrying a little exercise water weight, so it might be doable.

Well not a good start for me I actually gained but I am not surprised I ate pretty bad Friday and Saturday. And then I without thinking took some ibeprofin on an empty stomach last night so I ate to keep myself from getting sick (I normally don't eat past 8 and it was about midnight). But today is a new day and I'm gona go at it full force

I gained a bit too, but I blew my calories out of the water with the super bowl last night. But back on track this morning!

I would like to be in this. About me I am 37 father of 2 kids. Use to be really active but with life. Things have changed. I am 6-1 335 lbs my early goal is to get below 300 in 6 months or less. Would like to get to my college wt of 275 with the 11% body fat of old. As you can see I am a big guy but am also a active one at times. Outdoors is my happiness fishing,archery,camping,hiking,hunting, if it involves outdoors count me in. Thank you and let's do this.
