    Count me in. I managed to hit Onderland the middle of December but with the holiday food, snacking and not getting enough water down I have edged back over 200. So I want to get back into Onderland all the way down to at least 190.

    Struggles or successes of your week: Not too good of a week for me this week. I ate Chinese food yesterday and didn't get as much water drank as I usually do. Also my other eating hasn't been the best. So hopefully after today with eating better and drinking my water I will flush out some of the sodium from yesterday and get back on track.

    Loss/gain for the month so far: -7.5

    Struggles or successes of your week: A few struggles this week, I was feeling a little under the weather on Monday & Tuesday and PMSing on top of it, which sucks @$$! When I'm PMSing I am super hungry and get an attitude where I could git a S#!t about dieting. It's quite counterproductive to weight loss. However, I still managed 1.7 pounds this week, so I must be doing something right. I'm still hoping for 197 by Saturday!

I still have a chocolate struggle so I have bought a variety of low sugar / high protein bars to try and cut down on my sugar intake.

    ^ I agree!!! And everyone has helped to keep me on track....so thanks all! Shall we do a February challenge too? Who's up for it? Same thing with weigh ins on 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd of Feb then 1st March? We can all set another goal and keep each other going. I've found being accountable to this group with weekly weigh ins so helpful. What do you think? Should I set it up...or would anyone else like to set it up? I'm happy either way.

    Loss/gain for the week: 1lb
    Loss/gain for the month so far: 4.5 lbs

    Struggles or successes of your week: Consistent loss, I'll take it! I've been working out harder, including strength training, and consistently meeting calorie and macro goals. Not a massive weight drop this month (hey I still have two days), but steady and still eating all my favorite things in smaller sizes, so after two months I'm still not feeling deprived or like slipping back. Really starting to love the gym :)

    1/31:

    Loss/gain for the week: +0.8
    Loss/gain for the month so far: -3.2lbs

    Struggles or successes of your week: Hoping my gain is just bloat :( Was really hoping to get to 150 though. Had kind of a bad weekend. Usually pick a day for a higher calorie budget but one turned into 2 :( Only went over my weekly calorie limit by 800 though. But 3 pounds lost is still weight lost so I'm happy for that and still keeping at it.

    Struggles or successes of your week: Uggghhhh...trying not to let water retention get me down. I'm a daily weigher and saw 151 two days ago. I know I'm getting smaller, but it's nice to see the scale go down (and to reach your goal). I won't be making it to 149.4 in the next two days but we'll see how close I can get.

    Lost 2.2 this week. if you look at how much ive lost this month you could actually say its been a healthy loss. 2 pounds pretty much per week. I feel pretty confident about that. If I can Do this again in February then ill be able to get to pretty much my first goal weight. Im planning on losing 40 pounds by June 1st and so far it looks obtainable. If anyone wants to do this challenge next month I have already made a new page for it. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10071265/february-2015-weight-loss-challenge#latest
