Here's a thread to reflect on everything you did right last month!

I....
- Lost 5.5 lbs
- Did a 1 min 20 sec plank
- Started taking my thyroid medication again
- Drank less soda
- Ate out less and less throughout the month
- Tried new work outs

I really thought I'd lose more in January but... I'm 2 lbs away from never seeing the 270s again and that's pretty cool.

My goal for February is another 5 lbs!

    January; I knew I needed to get serious about my diet, but really was not too motivated. Until the middle of the month, I realized that doing something half way is really more miserable.

    I started back at the gym, and have done 3x a week. I have stopped eating bread and pasta. My goals are to increase protein and reduce carbs. I have stopped nighttime snacks, and no eating out at all. I take a large cooler with me each morning, packed with healthy food.

    Lost seven pounds in January.

    Goals for February:

    1. Increase the gym.
    2. Yoga on Sundays
    3. Workout in the morning
    4. Reduce fat, increase protein

    January: I started on my LCD, and haven't cheated yet. I started doing small increments of strength training. I've logged my food (since my diet). Found a great group to help with support.

    February Goals:
    Keep logging
    Walking 3x/week
    Lose 10 lbs
    Wear my Fitbit daily - and not eat the extra calories

    So I'm pretty stinkin proud of myself so far this year! For the month of January I lost exactly 23 lbs! In fact over the weekend I was visiting a friend that just had a baby so I was eating whatever they ate, I just tried to watch my portions.... I thought for sure that I had either gained some back or at best, maintained. I was so happy when I found out that I had lost 2.7 just over the weekend! Lol

    I'm so ready to kick February's butt! :smiley:

    January has been good to me. Down 10lbs and feeling so much better already. I'm getting into a good routine and things are becoming habit (drinking water, logging every bite and planning ahead). I'm feeling motivated by all of you! Thanks
