Jan15: 155
Jan 22: 155
Jan 29: 154.1
Jan 31: 155.6 => yesterday was my birthday. I indulged a little. #SorryNotSorry
Though the weekly check-ins don't show it, I'm averaging about 154-154.5 over the last two weeks so while bummed, I'm not completely crushed I didn't make goal.
In January, I started learning a new sport (ice skating), my clothes are looser, my "skinny, wedge-myself-in jeans" are now my comfies, been buying some new stuff in smaller sizes (!!) and friends I haven't see in a month are telling me I look like I've dropped a bunch of weight - and they're not just being kind. Pretty chuffed overall.
If age is just a number, perhaps I shouldn't live and die by those on the scale
Will re-double efforts in February. I'd like to get to 140-142 lbs by April. I think it's doable... thoughts?6 -

Jan 01- 189.2 Happy New Year Everyone!
Jan 03- 190.0 Wrong direction.
Jan 10- 194.2 From bad to worse. I am experiencing severe evening/nighttime glucose drops. Correcting it is putting me over cals & carbs for the day. On the good side, I have been increasing my activity tremendously. Iām hoping that will help.
Jan 17- 189.9 Feeling better and easing back into better meal plans. Letās keep this ball rolling!
Jan 24- 190.8 Total failure this week, this month, this year so far. Iām just going to keep trying and remain inspired by you all.
Jan 31- 191.6 Ending this round slightly under the December 31st ending weight. I am still working on the glucose problems and had another episode last night. However, they seem to be getting a little less intense these last few days. #notgivingup. See you all next round.
Final Challenge Thoughts: Medical issues are really standing in the way this round. However, I know I did this to myself during the holidays. It will (with some work and tweaking) get back to safe and okay at some point. Lesson learned?

Jan 2020 weight loss:
Jan start Weight: 222
Jan Goal Weight:215 re-adjusting to 212
Ultimate Goal Weight:145
Jan1 : 222.0
Jan 8: 219.2
I have made sure to drink my water this week. I have had such a problem with drinking water that it is my many focus.
Jan15: 216.4
I will have to re-adjust my Jan goal from 215 to 212. And then continue to drink my water and record my food.
Jan 22: 214.2 Hit my original goal, looks like I might just make my readjusted goal by the end of the month.
Jan 29: 212.4 I will take this as a win I am within 4/10 of my readjusted goal.
Jan 31: 212
Total weight loss this month 10 pounds. I am adding cardio 3 days and working with a trainer 2 day a week, along with maintaining my 96 oz water daily. I am aiming for 5lb loss in February.3 -
Been a good month so far. Just using portion control and working out 30 minutes a day. I worked hard on cutting unnecessary snacks. Here's to an even better February.
Jan start weight 174
Jan goal weight 168
Ultimate goal weight 155

Jan 22:169.4
Jan 29:167.4
Jan 31: 168
Hit my goal for January.
Aiming for 2 pounds in February. I know Jan was mostly water weight. I much rather lose weight slowly and actually enjoy the process than taking drastic measures that are not sustainable after the weight is off. So 166 is my february goal.

Original Start: 238 (Way back in August 2013)
Jan start Weight: 132 lb.
Jan Goal Weight: 124 lb.
Ultimate Goal Weight: 99 lb. (I am very short, I am only 5'3)
Jan 3: 132
Jan 10: 128.7
Jan17: 128
Jan 24: 128
Jan 31: 127.9
Total January Loss: 4.1 lb.
I only lost 0.1 lb this week. It was a hectic week. My boyfriend's mom's birthday was yesterday and I ate badly at the party. I also ate badly on Chinese New Year party on Saturday which also extended to Sunday. I am surprised I didn't gain weight. Oh well that's life... Even though I have not achieved my goal weight I am happy that I lost 4.1 pounds this month. I don't weigh that much so 4 pounds makes a huge difference and I feel a lot better too.5 -

Lost 5 pounds in the week by using MFP food diary, walking and a ride on Sunday. Think my metabolism is so slow these days I'll not drop much without adding some cardio.
Few more lbs lost. See where we are at close of play today!
Down to 263. Not quite what I wanted but happy to be going in the right direction. Well done everyone for your losses in January. On to next month!3 -

Heaviest weight: 175.4 in early 2013.
Original MFP starting weight (January 2018) - 168.2
December 31 starting weight - 146.4 (ten-day rolling average weight 145.2)
January goal - 143
Ultimate goal - Range between 142 - 148
I report scale weight and (ten day average weight), and I plan to check-in on Saturdays.
Dec 28: 144.6 (10-day average 145.2)
Dec 31: 146.4 (10-day average 145.2)
Jan 4: 144.8 (10-day average 145.3)
Jan 11: 143.6 (10-day average 144.4)
Jan 18: 139.8 (10-day average 143.5)
Jan 25: 144.2 (10-day average 142.7)
Jan 31: 144.8 (10-day average 144.6)
Feb 1: 143.4 (10-day average 144.5)
Total loss for January: I decided to add my December 31 weigh-in; I had only been showing December 28 since it was my normal weigh-in day. By scale, depending which day you look at, I either gained an insignificant 0.2 pounds or lost almost a pound. By average weight, I'm down a little bit. I had a Bagel Disaster a week ago and had a weight spike that I'm finally getting over. Whew. See you in the February thread!3 -
