Hey Everyone, I saw this in another forum on MFP and that it would be something we could do with this group. Just a way we can help each other and support each other to our goals. You can pick the weigh-in day that works best for you (I'm going to do Fridays).

Hopefully you will join me in this. I set my goal at 15 lbs for the month.

    I'll join you with setting March targets.

    I set my goal more agressive than I've been losing weight; I want to be under 300 by the 4th week of April. My last few weigh-ins have been on a 3lbs/wk average, so I don't think it's incredibly out of line.

    My typical weigh in day is Thursdays.

    I'll join also. I have never admitted to anyone my true weight so that will be a challenge in itself. I guess it's time to buy a scale... i will have to wait until Friday to buy one so i will post stats at that time.

    Struggles or successes of your week:
    Since the 1st I've ridden my bike, on a stationary trainer, 43 minutes (11.9 miles equivilent). This is ~20 mintues less than I had planned, but shovelling snow took the wind out of my sails yesterday. I shoveled snow for an hour, moving 2,700 lbs of snow by hand.

    I have been staying up later than I should/intend, which has resulted in less sleep and more frantic mornings. I need to redouble my efforts to go to bed on time.

    Everyone, I was in complete shock this morning. I didn't expect to have as much of a drop as I did. I even had to get someone to come to the scale with me to make sure I was't imagining things. Keeping my fingers crossed that everyone here sees a loss this week.

    Loss/gain for the week: Loss of 15
    Loss/gain for the month so far: Loss of 15

    Struggles or successes of your week: Success of the week is to avoid the dessert section in the cafeteria at work all week. It's hard enough I walk by it while getting my food, but even harder to avoid when co-workers are always bragging at how good their desserts taste. I'll just keep ignoring them and keep my mind focused on my goals.

    Struggles/Success:
    Started a new shift at work that was 4-10 hour days and I was worried I wouldn't get exercise in but I did 3 days so far and I'm planning on going today as well. Also been really watching my sodium and trying to keep it under my goal and managed to do that every day this week.
