    @twosteplove Unless your birthday indulgences added up to an extra 18,000 calories over what you burned in the course of the week, those 5 lbs are mostly water and food biomass, not fat. So, take solace in that! You're still doing very well with your program and that's awesome.

    @emmclean You crushed your goal! You're making me rethink the monthly goal setting thing. Well done.

    @mumof6sv Impressive! I would definitely consider that a win.

    CHECK-IN
    Start 3/16/2020: 230.7 lbs (104.9 kgs)
    12/21/2020: 148.94 lbs (67.7 kgs)

    1/11/2021: 155.1 lbs (70.5 kgs)
    1/18/2021: 144.98 lbs (65.9 kgs)
    1/25/2021: 144.54 lbs (65.7 kgs)
    2/1/2021: 144.32 lbs {65.6 kgs}

    I've worked hard to keep the weight going down, one big whoosh and then pretty much the same for 2 weeks. Thats ok, the trend is downward. The past two weeks I've been running 5 km x4 in the week, and walking on the other days, with a bit of strength (not enough, need to get into a better habit with that. I'm working from home now as our schools are only opening on 15th Feb (been closed since NOV!!!!) But I'm now in a strict routine, and very mindful of what I need to do. Last year I was great on my health lifestyle but my work suffered from lack of routine and discipline, so I want to apply the same principles I did to health to my business, structure, discipline and consistency. Oh the our first lot of vaccines arrived on our shores today, YAY!! I will be way down the list, but happy for the health workers who will be getting it first! Don't you feel like at least there is a light at the end of this covid tunnel!!

    Wow, congrats on your weightloss.
    Can I ask if you did anything special to lose that much weight? I need to lose about as much as you have.

    I've been silent, but January was really difficult.
    My mom was in the hospital for a week, so up 'til now I've taken on almost all house duties and we were eating fast food during that week. She's home, thank God TT_TT , and healing, and now I'll be cooking for the family for the most part and meal prep for myself.
    But I am getting back on track with my goals and luckily I gained nothing and even lost a little.

    February
    Start weight this month: 266.8
    Goals:
    Walking 45+ minutes or 3 miles 3 times a week
    Jump roping and casual cycling (together) twice a week
    Get under 260 this month, totally doable
    Drink more water

    Goals this year:
    Under 200 by 09/18/21 - still aiming for this!
    Get off my blood pressure 'script

    Hello!!! I am 5'6" and started at 263 in November, I'm down to 235 right now. My first goal is 180 and then I'll reevaluate myself. I've been over 200lbs since high school(I'm 33). I feel awesome and I've got a long path ahead of me. CICO has been great to me, but I am so worried about having loose skin if I lose too quickly so I added in weightlifting through p90x. I wish you all well on your journeys! I am right there with you!
