Struggles/successes this week: Whenever I get close to "that time of the month" I always seem to lose most, if not all, self control. I just really don't give a $#!t and it's not good. I was off track this entire week. In fact, if I'm being honest, I've been off track this entire month! As you can tell from my 2.5 weight gain. It's my fault, I'm not being disciplined like I should. I'm back on track the rest of this month, shooting for at least 194 before the month is over. I can do this.0 -

Struggles/successes this week: I have definitely plateaued this past 2 weeks. What the hell is going on?! It's time for some drastic measures - I refuse to stay stuck here. The worst part is I'm so close to being in the 60's and just isn't happening to me. I'm going really strict now - no meals that arent made at home, eating 100 cals less per day, weighing every single thing that goes in my mouth, changing my workout routine, keeping my sodium count below the recommended mg per day, eating more protein and one treat a fortnight that fits within my calorie goal. If I don't lose weight next week, I'm going to be dumb founded - I really do not know what I'd be doing wrong if I do all of the above I just mentioned, and still don't lose anything! This is so frustrating and I'm sure I won't reach my goal by the end of the month. Best case scenario I'll be 500g heavier than my goal weight for the end of February, which I would be absolutely fine with. In fact, with the way things are going, I'd 100% welcome any kind of weight loss no matter how small. I guess things are only going to get harder from here - I'm down to the last '10 pounds' before my goal weight and I always knew it wouldn't be easy.. I just hope it isn't ridiculously hard. I'll try a little harder and see where it takes me.
Don't lose heart. You are so close.0 -

Struggles/successes this week: I really haven't tried hard to lose any weight.
I've been lazy and have been eating at maintenance pretty much all week. This cold weather is demotivating because my main form of exercise is walking!
Anywho, I am going to try to lose at least ONE POUND by the end of the month!!

Hi there....I started this February group and will be starting one in March too as lots of people are finding it helpful....do feel free to join us for the rest of Feb and hop onto March too.
I've personally had a 'not great' Feb after a brilliant Jan....so I need March to get back on track.
Shout out to all Feb folks - will you be joining me for the March group??? I'll set it up in the next few days....it'll be same format - weekly weigh-ins, etc....and of course, you can change the days, etc.
Everyone welcome no matter what your goals!!!!0 -
I'm definitely in for a March group! Thank you for setting these up - I find it super helpful!0

I'm finding it super helpful too, so I will also be joining in for March!0

Struggles/successes this week: Every one in the house is sick this week and my FIL is in the hospital. It is tough to stay with getting up early in the morning and doing my walk. I think I am getting sick I want to keep walking so all the extra energy from working out/walking goes to fighting what ever it is that I am getting.
Have a good day and week everyone!!!!

Hi Everyone!!! Well done for logging....and I see some people are very close to their goals for the month....that's fab!!!
I've not had a great week and am changing my goal for the month to 165lbs instead of 160lbs....I lost my way a little in Feb after a fabulous January....so, bring on March!!!!

1st March:
Weight loss/gain this week: 0lbs
Weight loss/gain so far this month: +1.5lbs
Struggles/successes this week:
Half term holiday week for my kids so my exercise routine went out of the window! Also, have eaten out a few times and drank too much. Stayed the same this week but not happy with my overall efforts for February. I did so well in January....and I think it was because I gave up booze, kept to 1200 cals/day and really got into a good exercise routine. I want (and need) to get back to that.
So....the kids go back to school tomorrow and I'm gonna get back on track....no booze, healthy eating & plenty of exercise. I'm hoping to kick-start by losing 4lbs before the start of March....and then set myself a good goal for next month.
Good Luck with the last week of Feb!!!!0 -
