    SW: 140.6kg/309lbs
    CW: 133.8kg/295lbs
    GW for Feb: 128kg (~6kg/13lbs loss)

    Strategy - cal counting
    Challenge - walk home from work at least once a week, drink at least 2L of water a day, eat Subway only once a week if at all

    I will be away for a week, and probably without healthy food/scales, so I won't be weighing in that week.

    Hello! I'm Sara.

    CW: 132
    End of Feb GW: 126

    I do a circuit training class every Tuesday and Thursday, I snowboard ~2 or 3 times a week (the amount varies as it depends on the snow conditions...), and I WILL do Plyometrics AT LEAST once per week... If I'm not snowboarding, I'll do something else, like a run or Kenpo or something. So, I'll work out at least 5 times per week.

    Weigh-in for today, 1st day of Feb! 180lbs.
    I'm aiming for 170lbs or at least 15 inches total.

    Results of January (I begun on January 4th) -12 pounds, -14.5 inches (prolly more than that, mesurements were done at the end of the 1st week).

    Can someone message me where we can see everyone's progress, goals and all if we have all this gathered somewhere? Do we need the mesurements? If so, please let me know too!

    My name is Ruth and I started in January at 170 pounds. I am down to 164 and my goal for February is to be down to 155. I walk at least 30 minutes everyday at a very good clip and my other goal for February is to do strength exercises at least 3 times a week. Good luck everyone. As we get older these challenges get harder, so I wish each of you the very best.

    CW: 241
    GW: 220 (for month of Feb., I know that's a bit dramatic, but my doc put me back on Metformin for PCOS which makes me drop weight like it's nothing)

    Current measurements-
    Bust: 44
    Waist: 48
    Hips: 47

    The only exercise I really get in is 30 minutes of yoga or pilates 4-5 days/week. I like it cause I can do it even when I'm tired from work and it keeps me curvy in all the right places :tongue:

    LOVE IT.

    SW- 145
    GW- 135

    BRING IT.

    I'm on a 1200 calorie a day diet, with 500 calorie workout at home in the morning, then a 2 hour workout at the gym when husband gets home. I'm on day 10 and i've lost (at least) 6 pounds. I know i saw 155 sometime before i started, but i'm putting 152 as my real beginning, hopefully this is a snap!

    GW for Feb: 204

    I'm on a modified paleo diet (no grain, no dairy, no fruit, carb goal: 25/day, one cheat day a week) for a month now. I log anyway but I don't have a particular calorie goal.

    My goal for February is to get to the gym 3 days a week, and to cheat on cheat day but not get too carried away.

    So back to update my stats.

    CW- 294.5
    GW- 280

    No measurements this time around. I'm just getting back into the weight loss routine and just imputing things slowly as I get accustomed to them. Right now my focus is on exercise and getting comfortable with that. This month I hope to sort out my diet so I can see how much I need to keep up with exercise as well as help me continue to lose weight. Good luck everyone!!! Feel free to add me as a friend. I'm here to cheer you on!!!

    Changed my weigh in day to Wednesday, starting today (instead of Friday). I'm down 3lbs since Friday so I have to edit my starting/goal weight from my initial post. Here it goes:

    Starting Weight- 262
    Goal Weight- 252
    Fitness Plan- Purchased February Fitness Class pass to attend Zumba, Kickboxing, and Boot Camp.
    Diet Plan- Continue doing what I'm doing; Increase protein, veggies and fruit and decrease carbs. Eat balanced at each meal.

    And of course log in daily on MFP =)
