    Great job ladies! Here's my update:

    Starting weight - 168 lb (1/4/17)
    February Starting Weight-162.3 lb
    February Goal - 158
    Ultimate goal - 151

    1/30/17: 162.3lb
    2/5/17: 159.4lb
    2/15/17: 157.2 lb (traveling for work--late on weigh in) HIT MY MONTH GOAL EARLY! :smiley:
    2/19/17:
    2/26/17: Zanzibar Vacation! (Aiming for even this last week)

    I did clean eating all of January (no gluten/dairy/red meat/added sugar) and have NEVER had such an easy time dropping weight and not being miserable doing it. The biggest challenge is alcohol--I love a good cocktail or glass of red wine!

    I'm a little late to the party, but I want to jump in! I've managed to keep the weight loss going, even though it has slowed down considerably as I am nearing my ultimate goal weight.

    Starting weight on Feb 1st: 131.4
    End of Feb. goal: 129

    I haven't been checking in because, honestly, I forgot! But my current weight is 130.2. I guess i'm halfway to my goal and we're a little over halfway through the month. I do believe I'm going to make that goal!!

    SW (2/2/2016): 147.4
    February Goal: 146.4 (I lose soooo slowly now, so I'm aiming for 1lb/month this year)
    Ultimate Goal: 135 lb

    I like daily accountability (I have a weight tracker app) but will weigh in here once a week.

    Feb. 2: 147.4
    Feb. 9: 146.8
    Feb. 16: 148.4 (menses is this week, so this means almost nothing)

    Hey everybody,
    I happy to report a tiny loss. It makes me very happy because this week was a triple whammy and yet I did ok! Yay!
    I'm happy to see so many people making progress! :)
    To those of you losing slower then you had hoped, it's all good! Simply maintaining is a win some weeks.
    To those still struggling to lose an ounce. I'm positive that you are learning from it and will make improvements on your weight loss strategy! You got this!
    Go team! :D

    I'm really late to this party! I was on another group but was frustrated by the lack of accountability.
    I started the month at 144.3 lbs, today I'm 141.4.
    I'd like to lose another 5 lbs by the end of the month.
    2/13-141.4
    2/20-140.9
    2/27-

    I have to lay off the after dinner snacks! Otherwise I won't get to my goal. My 59th Birthday is coming up in 6 weeks and I'm really hoping to be on the lighter side of 130 by then.

    Oops, up a lb this week, but I had one of the most stressful weeks last week that I've had in a long time, really used my food crutch :( I'm going on vacation next week, so my goal is to just maintain.

    Hello, all! I'm super late to the party, but here we go.
    Age: 23
    Height: 5'8"
    SW: 155
    Feb Start: 154
    Feb GOAL!: 146
    Since it's so late in the month... March Goal: 141
    GW: 135

    2/1: 154 (this is a guess)
    2/8: 152
    2/15: 148.4
    2/22: 146.8
    3/1: ?

    I've been so good about going to the gym lately. I hope I can keep it up! In other news, it's finally starting to look like winter might not last forever, which is exciting, even though I know it'll stick around for at least another month (thanks, Maine).

    Lost 3 this past week, but since it was my first week logging and maybe some water weight/slightly different times weighing, I'm not concerned that it's too much too fast! Aiming for .5 lb or 1 lb this week.

    Well, it's almost the end. I didn't meet my goal. Never-the-less, I am happy. At least I'm coming out even after a really bad beginning! :D

    February 2017:
    SW (Feb 4th): 127.8 lbs.
    Feb 11: 129.2 lbs.
    Feb 18: 128.8 lbs.
    Feb 26: 127.4 lbs.
    Feb 28: lbs.

    GW (Feb 28th): 125 lbs.

    We learn something even on the bad days / weeks. All of it moves us forward even if we can't see it yet. We "will" get there!

    Hello Everyone, I hope you had a great weekend. Last week with was a disaster and unhealthy, because or I didn't have time to eat or I'd forget to eat and whenever I ate mostly it was those quick unhealthy foods. Also I couldn't workout those days knowing that I didn't feed well my body, the only workout I did was Saturday, which I'm still proud of.
    I decided to do my check-in today because I'll be following a 5 day working out challenge and I'm expecting to be eating healthier.

    27/02/17: 55kg (121lbs)

    I went through a huge transformation this last month. After a lot of struggling, binging, and frustration, I decided I needed to stop the hard diet I had been sticking to for 4 straight months. I lost 12lbs and then gained back 2, and I'm not weighing in until mid-March for my sanity! I'm going to do a 6 week cycle of maintaining my weight, restarting weight lifting and strength, cutting back on cardio, and learning to balance my macros.

    After the 6 weeks is up, starting April 9th I'll start a new 4-6 week period of cutting with focus on macros and calories.

    My favorite research resource was Jen Heward's YouTube videos and I encourage you to take a look, she's a nutritionist and takes a realistic look at changing the female body.

    It's important for us all to remember that our bodies get used to the same routine, so in order to not mess that up, like I did with all my Valentine's binging, we need to focus more on changing things up rather than the scale. I started obsessing over the scale and it didn't end up well for me this month, so I'm hoping to help out anyone else who might be struggling and as frustrated as I've been!
