    Name: Sara
    Age: 37
    Height:5'7"

    Start Weight: 166.5
    Goal Weight (January 31st): 163

    Weigh-ins:
    January 2: 166.5
    January 9: 165
    January 16: 164.8

    January 23: 166.2
    January 29: 164.2

    Successes/struggles this week: Since I won't be around tomorrow doing my final January weigh in now. My success is that I lost this month. I bounced around a bit but ended up averaging .5lb per week which is my normal goal, even though I was hoping to drop a bit more with my new work out routine.

    I really hope we do this again for February.

    Successes/struggles this week: Food was just easy for me this week. Not sure why, but I just wasn't tempted like I usually am. Even when I snuck out to buy myself lunch one day, all on my own, I searched out a healthy place and choose a brown rice and veggie bowl. Now I just need to move my *kitten* more. I didn't make my goal, but I lost 10 lbs and I'm SUPER happy!

    I started on the 9th and I am down 2 lbs. Trying for 1lb per week but it has been really tough giving up the snacking. Will do better next month!

    I was looking for this kind of thread in October, November, and December, but could not ever find one. I was then away from MFP for a few weeks, but now that I'm back I'm SO glad to see that this kind of thread was re-started! I'll definitely be joining in the February thread!
