I'm just now coming across this post, so I'm officially starting on March 4. I plan on accomplishing my goal by:

* drinking more water daily
* walking on the treadmill at least 30 mins per day

Good luck, all. We got this!4 -

March... First week, again.
I am going to just strive for progress, not perfection. Crazy as it sounds, my goal is to be able to indulge a little bit a couple times a month, because I have always been very "all or nothing" and all that's done is gotten me to 235 lbs. So, I need to try to be able to eat just 3 Oreos, not the whole bag.3 -
SW: 236
CW: 209-212
GW: 189 (at least phase 1).
Keep cals under 1200 daily, closer to 1050 daily (I am sedentary)
Pool jogging 2x per week
Home low impact 2x per week
Weigh in under 207 at the end of March
Just lost my wellness coach to a job change - hope to find another one before months end
Add iron, based on recent lab result.1 -
My progress:

Down to 201.8, so almost to goal #1. I tried on my next size jeans and I could do them up without sucking in my tummy, but i think they'll fit better in a few more pounds. I've gotten more serious about IF, doing either 10-6 or 11-7, day depending.SW: 220

My biggest goal this month is to workout every other day. My other goal is to get more steps in. My Fitbit should be here this week so I think that'll help me quite a bit. If anyone wants to add me feel free!1 -
I’m starting at over 300 lbs and much in need of encouragement. Looking for friends on MFP to cheer each other on.
Biggest challenge is fighting the cravings for sweets and carbs. Always low energy so fighting hard to get going.4 -
I did a bike ride over the weekend and this week I am working out everyday and doing another bike ride on the weekend. As soon as the sun is up in the morning I plan on riding to work. its about 9 miles round trip. I'll take it.

March has been up and down for me. TOM came in at the end of February and after 16 days, I got a 2 day reprieve but it's back today. I was down to 216.2 before the weekend but due to alcohol and a hangover sodium binge, I was back to 219. I skipped my workout in favor of a walk with my dog yesterday but I'm back at the gym today. My goal for March is to hit 215 and get my energy drink consumption from daily to 4-5 days a week!0 -

I had to pick up a drink and creamer at the gas station on Monday. I wanted something to snack on - I'm more salty than sweet that being said, after reading all the packet calories, I just said no and got my diet soda. I think reading labels really helps - especially if I look at a small bag of chex mis and realize its about 500-600 cals, not worth it. Find sweets that are lower, such as jello pudding with splenda, and jello with splenda 10 cals. Also fruit like strawberries with splenda and a teaspoon of lim juice mixed up and sat for awhile has nice sweatness to it. I imagine at first a lot of substitutes will work better.

GW1 190 ( need new knee and they wont even consider me till i get to this!!)
GW2 140
GW3 133 ( this is classed as healthy weight! for my height)
hit a plateau for last month! I put the weight on as I have Hasimoto disease and i was having trouble walking - long story short after 3 yrs they diagnosed arthritis in my knee! by that time i have put another 5 stone on as i couldn't exercise.. been having injections in my knee for the passed 3 years, every 4 months which wears off after about 2 - end up using sticks for the other 2 months!!I work full time - I have been on a low carb diet ( no sugar/fruit/diary/carbs/alcohol ) with a 'cheat day' once a week - since September last year i have managed to lose 23lb - but as you will see Goal 1 ( which they said i need to reach to approve surgery is a very long way away ) and i'm very low at them moment as i'm in a great deal of pain and cant see any movement on the scale to spur me on
my next injections aren't due till the 17th April which again feels a very long time away. 2 -

-Get 9 hours of sleep every night
-No Cakes, Cookies, or Bread
I've been having a good month. Been staying on track mostly. Starting to feel a difference in my clothes already. The scale at home says 274--but I don't believe it need to check scale at the doctors office. I've tracked my meals for 16 days in a row--that's a new record for me. Been drinking at least 64oz of water a day. Started going for walks in the evenings. Been going to bed earlier. And saying no to cookies cakes and breads. I feel a lot better than I have in a long time, need to keep this going.3 -
