February Losers! 10lbs gone by March 1st!

I'm down for this. I just turned 30 two weeks ago, I have 4 children. I am 5 ft 3 and 187 lbs. My goal weight is 130. I dealt with a lot of depression when I was still with my ex-husband and was up to 210 lbs. Now that he's been out of my life for awhile, I'm getting back on track. The first 20 lbs came off within 2 months of him being gone and I'm back to being active and not drinking my calories, but I hit a roadblock somewhere around 185 and it's coming off super slow now. I re-married back in September and couldn't be happier.
I fish and hunt, and I used to ride in rodeos, but a knee injury and surgery stopped that and makes exercise difficult because I cannot run. I don't mean that I'm too lazy to (though I have been in the past) but I have arthritis and orthopedic surgeon gave me a no-go for any impact exercise.

5'11½" - 185lbs - Target weight is 175lbs, ideal weight is 165lbs. Day after the Superbowl is the day I start training for the half-marathon in April so 10lbs in February would be a perfect goal!

Bah! No joy first week. I'm tipping it was the weekend cheese and wine. But back on track, with strength work, jogging and Pilates.

I hope to be down at least 1 kilo by next weigh-in.

Good luck everyone.

Casino plus Super Bowl party = 195.2... Going the wrong way!

I know I'm late, but I'm in! I'm 5'8" and weigh 190.3! Good luck everyone!

I'm in, albeit a little late. It looks like I may be the new old lady of the group. My long term goal is to lose 80-90 pounds. I lost 40 pounds before the holidays and maintained it, but now I feel stuck at that weight. It's time to get remotivated. My next short-term goal is to be down at least ten pounds before a vacation at the end of March. This looks like a good place to work on that goal.

I am in!! My "comfortable" weight has slowly increased the last couple years and I want to get back down to 130 for good! Currently 5"5 140. Let's do this!

Yikes! I wish I could hop on this band wagon! It was so easy to lose weight in my 30s! A whole different story at my age. Now, I'm grateful for ANY loss!

Hi not sure what age you are but I am 46 and thought the same thing. Then I started this app and walking 70k steps a week (more manageable than 10k a day) and the weight has fallen off me. I lost 20 lbs in a little less than two months. I have stalled in Jan due to vacation and travel but back on track in Feb. I have tried every crash diet out there but this is way more effective cause you can live forever on this!

Having a weird week! I weighed in last week at 185.6 but took my weight this morning and am 187.1 so I guess I have gained . . . I am not too worried though but it does put a huge dent in my 10lbs goal

Ok 2 pounds this week ...it was tough sticking to my calories but I did it

Count me in! Just saw this so I'll weigh in tomorrow morning, I'm 5 ft 6" and around 155 lbs, aiming for 130 lb ultimately, haven't been exercising as much as I should but looking forward to this challenge for February!

See this is why I cannot WAIT for spring so I can get out there and get walking.

Hi, I am 52 years old, 5'7" and weigh 205. I am going to try the 10 pound challenge. I have been going to the gym and I haven't seen any pounds off. I am going to pay attention to my food intake and continue with my exercise regimen. My goal is 180-185lbs and I am good. Any good meal plans for under 1200 cal
