Here is my last day of February discussion opener graphic. I am putting this up as a place holder to make sure that you all can easily find the February 28 discussion.
Right now, it is the evening of February 27, I'll be back in the morning, I'll read all of the Feb 27 posts and add any names which have not already been noted.
The next post will list the February Winner's Circle qualifiers...stay committed through the last day!!

February 28
Exercised?: Yes. Walk 6km in 60 mins (various walks in Adelaide throughout the day).
Calories?: Yes
Tracked?: Yes
Interstate so doing best I can.
Distressed call from home. Our 13yo bengal cat (named "Mouse") had the equivalent of a stroke and needed to be taken to the vet. Sudden blindness, high blood pressure, inability to sdand or balance, suspected bleeding on the brain. Had to make the heart-wrenching decision to have him put to sleep. No guarantees that intensive medical intervention would restore his eyesight, or even get him back to health.
Because I was interstate for work, did not have a chance to say goodbye, or be there to comfort my wife and daughter.
I'm sure our other cat (3yo female called "Fi"), will also miss him.
Home will not be the same when I get there tomorrow evening.
I miss him already.
Will post monthly wrap-up and goals tomorrow. Can't seem to do it at the moment.

Dearest Craig,
My condolences for the loss of your beloved family member-cat, with the incongruous name, Mouse. I love my animals and feel your pain.

Oh @craigo3154 I am so, so sorry for your sad loss. He was gorgeous. It's no comfort at the moment, but I'm sure it was the right and only decision, and anything else would have not been in his best interests. Thinking of you and your family. R.I.P. lovely Mouse.1

In addition, to the Winner's Circle team mates, all of us who finished the month had both 'scale victories" and "Non-scale victories (NSV)."
We are better together!! Please move on with us to March!
I really love this group!
Your friend, Rick3 -

Sorry I didn't submit yesterday's before you made your list but I've taken to coming in every 2-3 days and uploading this as I can't access this group from my mobile.1 -

@craigo3154 I'm so sorry to read your post. I'm a cat lover and have also been away once when one of my cats had to be put down. Another time I held the cat as it happened. I know your heart ache and I'm so sorry. Lots of love. xx1

@craigo3154 I read, with compassion, about your companion, Mouse, and send condolences your way. @RangerRickL 's benevolently affectionate comment relating to the the incongruous name made me smile
. It was a fabulous name for your cat. The memories you share with your family will surely last you a lifetime. Always remember the good times from yesterday, rejoice in today, and reach for every new tomorrow. 2 -

@craigo3154 - Sorry to hear about the loss of Mouse!!
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, 60 minutes shoulder rehab exercises, and 90 minutes pumping iron.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes1 -
End of February already! It has been lovely. I got a triple yes for today, and exercise was longer than expected. I lost my hat up in the woods yesterday so hiked back to search for it. Found it! Then had a good long hike on snow that's packed enough to walk on most of the time but getting treacherously soft so you punch through up past your knees once in a while. Just to keep you on your toes, so to speak. So I lost one of my cleat things that straps to my boots and had to go back searching. I gave up after a while and will try when it freezes harder again. Or melts. Or something.
Sorry too hear about your beautiful Bengal, @craigo3154 - they are so sweet. You'll miss your Mouse I'm sure. hope you get home soon2 -
@craigo3154 So sorry to hear about Mouse. Our cats are such a special part of our lives and to be out of town had to be especially difficult. Wishing you safe travels and a fast trip home to be with your family.1

Wednesday, Feb 28
Exercise: Yes (20 minutes of stepping and walking)
Calories: Yes
Tracking: Yes
I got to the end of the day and realized I hadn't exercised. It's the last day of the month and I really wanted to finish the month with 3 last yeses. So I pulled out a step thing I've had for years (but never actually use), put something on TV and stepped, walked, did some squats... for 20 minutes. It may not be much, but without this challenge, it's 20 minutes of exercise that would not have happened for me today. 3 -

"drop by drop the bucket gets full" Yeah!!! February is done.....
Yeah!!!
I am not in the winner's circle. But I am so glad I stuck to the end of this month. I did it. PTL! 3 -
Last day of the month and Yes to all three today. I skipped the gym workout and opted for a walk with friends instead and enjoyed a brief spring like day before snow makes another appearance this week.
I'm so glad I joined this group. It helped me stay on track and I needed this to get me motivated after not taking care of myself the last couple of years. I've been logging in every day and MFP has become part of my routine (again).
February has been quite grey, I hope March will bring much needed sunshine and get rid of the winter blues.
Well done everyone!3 -
Exercise? Yes; a 35 minute hike
Calories? Yes
Tracking? Yes1 -

Sorry to hear about Mouse @craigo3154
Congrats to all who made it to the end of the month!
Yes x3 today. Upper body strength and some walking.
See you in March!0 -
@craigo3154 So sorry to hear about Mouse, that’s a beautiful photo you posted of him. I’m sorry you are out of town and couldn’t be with the rest of your family. Sending hugs to you and your family
3 xYes today0 -
Date: 2/28
Exercised?: Yes - 30 minute walk outside before the rain showers started.
Tracked?: Yes
Calories?: Absolutely NOT within limit. This was an intended pass day. It was intended to be a so-called "reward" for diligence and perseverance, but didn't resonate as a reward at all. I learned the extra calories I consumed today would be sufficient to put me back where I started if I continued the same regimen every day for the next 5 weeks! I also did not like seeing those "red" stats when I completed my day (that was a first). The positive "take away" is definitely...I do not want a repeat performance "reward" in the future. I'm not sure the waffle, donuts, pizza, wine and snacks were worth it. I think healthier choices would have tasted much better with less sense of defeat. Thank goodness this is the end of the month and tomorrow is a "new" day AND a "new" month!
On another note... I have pre-packaged all of my porridge (it has been my go to breakfast since 2011 - combination of oatmeal, flaxmeal, raisins, nuts and cinnamon) for the next 2 weeks which I can heat in our portable 12 volt oven on our vamper trip while we are away. I told you we are "rednecks!"
Hugs to ALL for a great month in March!1 -
Last day of February = yes x3!1

@craigo3154 so sorry for your loss. Pet companions are family members, devastating to lose them1
