    Weigh in:

    Feb 1st 166lbs
    Feb 8th 162.7
    Feb 15th 160.3
    Feb 22nd 159.8

    GW 1st March 158.

    Stalling a bit but trying very hard. Desperate to get to a normal BMI before pregnancy. I use weightgrapher too and love it!

    Starting weight: 2/1: 134.2
    2/"29" :) Goal weight: 129.6
    Current weight (2/24): 130.4

    Kinda stalled this week. I'm at my "happy weight" or setpoint, so it's hard to get below. I weighed 120 in 2013, though, so I'm sure I can get below this with a little more dedication!

    Starting Weight 1/27 - 169.5
    2/3 - 168.5 (-1)
    2/10 - 167.5 (-1)
    2/17 - 167 (-0.5)
    2/24 - 167 (-0)
    Feb end goal - 165.4

    Not hitting that Feb goal, but I wasn't expecting a loss after how I ate last weekend. But, at least it wasn't a gain and I will focus on more diligently eating and tracking on the weekends.

    Im going to weigh in in the morning. After the flu for the 2nd week of February I feel like my fitness is almost back up to where it was. Finishing the gym challenge tomorrow (I have been stupid motivated to get entered to win a $200 lululemon gift card...by doing 8 preselected classes at the gym..just since I had the flu. ..its been kind of silly.) I havent had much loss but my body composition is changing. I wore some previoulsy tight pants to work on Friday and was pretty comfortable all day which was awesome. Traveling on March 9th and hoping to wear some old, smaller clothes for the trip....
    Samloves...a normal BMI for pregnancy is a great goal. With that in mind..i need to calculate mine!

    So weightgrapher tells me that I'm on track to losing weight today which was great and congratulations me and then as I read further, it tells me it's estimating me reaching my target weight by 03/02/2031. Yes, 2031. Apparently at the rate I'm going it's going to take me 14 years to reach my goal! hahaha

    Small success: I logged everything I ate and drank the entire weekend. I have not done that the past 2 weekends and the scale reflected those choices.

    I am bridesmaid in 2 weddings in October and one of the ladies has requested we order our dresses in the month of March. So, I need to make an appointment in the next few weeks to try on dresses. More motivation to keep going!

    @WifiresGettingFit that is pretty funny about the weightgrapher. How do you get it to tell you if you're on track to lose weight that day?

    @jennamae102 Wearing a dress in front of a bunch of people is certainly motivation to get fit! I hate how early you have to order dresses from some bridal shops. I didn't tell my bridesmaids when to order theirs and they ended up not being able to get some of the styles I'd shown them. Oops! Anyway good job tracking all weekend!

    @krizaten33 great news about your fitness getting back after the flu! Good luck getting the gift card :)

    I signed up for weightgrapher over the weekend and input all of my February weight. It's telling me to eat only 1100 calories, though, and I'm not about that. But it is a cool tool that makes my .4 lb gain from Saturday seem pretty expected based on my trends all month. If I can hold on to this loss this week I'll have met my February goal.

    @pezhed From what I can tell, it'll pop up if your weight is trending at a downward trend. That was the first time it did that and all I did was input my weight and then of course it tells me it'll take 14 years to reach my goal but hey, i'm on track to losing weight now. haha =P

    @WifiresGettingFit Haha that is really funny! I've had it do that before too. All it needs is a few more numbers in a downward trend to make it a bit more realistic lol.

    @VeryKatie haha I figured. I appreciate the reassurance! =)

    Well I'm back to report about Weightgrapher. =P When I went to log my weight just now, it had the prediction to reach my goal 02/19/2019 (a lot better than 2031!) haha and then I added today's weigh in (2.2 pounds higher than yesterday) and it gave me the prediction of 1/13/2020 which is still better than 2031! haha I think it's finally gotten enough data to make better predictions, yay! it isn't going to take me 14 years! Woooo!!! hahaha

    Weigh In:

    Feb 1st: 200.8
    Feb 8th: 205.8
    Feb 15th: 198.8
    Feb 22nd: 201.6
    Feb 28th: 202.4

    Well although it says I'm up from my last weigh in, my averages tell a different story, a better story. haha. My average weight for last week (2/15-2/21) was 203 and this week it is 200.9 (2/22-2/28). I didn't reach my goal but I had already figured I wouldn't. I'm just glad that I haven't really gained. It also appears my fluctuations are getting more stable, it's ounces and a few pounds instead of 4-5 pounds. haha Anyway, I'll be striving to make March a much better month.


    Goal: Not Met

    Feb 28th: 197.8

    Oh oh! I wanna post mine too. Of course it's going in the opposite direction (which I want). But my current weight is only 0.4 lb lower than my goal for the month so that means I'm pretty much on track (hopefully). Today was quite the spike though haha. I know why it went up though. It might stay up for a couple of days... it might not.. we shall see. It's funny looking at the graph... it's almost cyclical in terms of the shape of the actual data. Little hills sort of.

    Feb starting weight 145.6 lb
    Feb GW 150.2 lb
    CW 149.8 lb

    @samlovesthesnow your graph looks great! Very consistent.
    @WifiresGettingFit Yup! 2020 is WAY better than 2031! :D

    Thanks for posting your graphs! I must have downloaded the wrong app. I realized their website is monitoryourweight.com. Shoot! I'll get into weightgrapher too so I can see these beautiful graphs.

    2/1 weight: 134.2
    2/28 weight: 127.2!!
    Goal: 129.6

    I had a magical whoosh this morning primarily because I had a fever yesterday and could hardly eat but had a ton of fluids. But I'll take it and try to keep that as my start weight for March and set a goal for next month from this point. I'm feeling ambitious!

    @samlovesthesnow Great February losses!
    @WifiresGettingFit good news from weightgrapher, haha! That is MUCH better than 2030!
    @VeryKatie Great job getting so close to your gain goal for this month! Woohoo! I know you were tuning in your calorie goal for a while. Happy for you!

    Sorry for the double post.

    Trying to share my graph, but for some reason it is taking forever to load it. I cant post pics from my android phone, and apparently not on my computer today either >.<
    The graph is trending down though!

    1/30: 198# (Mondays weight)
    2/6: 196.6#
    2/13: 193.0#
    2/20: 195.8#
    2/28: 194.0#
    2/28 Goal: 191.6#-obviously missed my goal, but still proud of the 4# down!

    Great job evveryone, lets keep it going for March!! Starting a new thread now :)
