    I'd like to lose between 5-8 lbs! January also wasn't all that I hoped it would be, but summer is getting ever closer, and that means bathing suits!! WE CAN DO THIS! :)

    Okay...silly question but how do you get the little banner of how much you've lost to appear on your profile when you post? I know I created it but I'm not sure how to link it.

    Thanks!

    I am 15 lbs away from my first real goal. I have about 70 to lose altogether but hitting that first goal would be great. I have real expectations though and know I probably won't lose that much. The closer I get to that goal the better!

    ...as much as possible? lol I need to lose (an 'additional') 11 pounds by March 23rd (when I leave on vacation) so 8 pounds for Feb would make me happy.
    (...and more than 8 lbs. would make me happier, lol)

    Weirdly my progress has been quite steady but not really consistent, so I'd love to be losing in the region of 2Ibs per week. I have about a stone to lose to my ultimate goal so if I could get to near halfway of that target in Feb I'd be very happy. I am also checking measurements, so if I could lose an inch off either waist or hips that would be lovely.

    My main problem is the Jeckyll and Hyde nature of my diet, during the day and at dinner I eat clean and well, lots of veggies etc. But after dinner my sweet cravings kick in big style, and I usually give in because my willpower is so poor :( If anyone has any suggestions of sweet but healthy things to snack on after dinner I would be very very grateful!!

    Good luck everyone, here's to a very productive February!!


    I've been eating a little pineapple in the evenings, without it 'adding' to the number on the scale. I buy a fresh pineapple, cut it into bite size pieces and keep it in a big bowl in the fridge. It makes it easy to have a few bites in the evening, without adding too many calories :)
    Good luck!!

    January was a complete wash out for me as hard as i have exercised and tried to keep calories down its not worked due to my pill in 5 days the ack finishes and my body should start to return to normal in the next few weeks and 8 llb loss would be very pleasing im curently 168 so to get to 160 would be an achivement

    im setting my self a goal to do 100lengths at the pool this month and keep my exerciseing up to 6 days a week i try to do atleast 4 classes plus various cardio and want to start some weight work next month when there is a little less of me

    I had a consistent January - no weightloss!
    In February, my goal is still 1/2 pound per week, so that is 2 lbs. By the end of the month, I'd like to be at 157 (I'm 159.5 now)

    I would love to lose inches so clothes fit better, and I look and feel better. Weight it just a number so I'm not stuck on that soley. But I would love to maintain a 1-2 lbs a week! I haven't laid out what my goals are for my inches to lose.

    End of Feb Goal Weight: 195ish

    My goal is to drop about 10 lbs this month, so I can see 2-oh-something on the scale. I just got out of the 220's today so that was exciting :) Ready for the next milestone, and then in March or April I hope I can see the 100s again.

    I'm going to be more careful about counting my calories, drinking more water, and no snacks after 10 pm.
    As far as workouts, I'm going to do something (cardio at the gym, swimming, wii fit, maybe attempt 30DS) 5 days a week.

    Good luck to everyone!

    I would love to lose between 5-10# in February. January was 7# lost, with 10# total from HW (Christmas 2011). January was a warm up month, just getting into it and seeing where I was fitness-wise. If I keep my portions under control and make it to the gym 5 days a week, life will be pretty good.

    ETA: CW 234.2# GW: 224.2# - 229.2#

    ideally, I'd loose 8-9.
    BUT, I would be happy with 5-7.

    I would like to get to 240 by the end of the month which would put me at losing 5.2 pounds. I would also like to stay in my calorie range 5 days of the week and not go over on the other 2 by more then 200.

    I lost about 13 lbs in January and I'd love to lose 8-10 in February. However, I've started NROLW and so I imagine I'm going to see more reductions in inches than on the scale. Losing 8 would get me out of the 190s and farther away from the dreaded, evil 200s.

    Soooooooo, if one or more of the following happened by the end of February, that would be aces:

    * Weight loss of 7-10 lbs
    * Loss of 2+ inches on waist
    * Dropping a dress size
    * Feeling kick-butt awesome!!!

    My plan:
    * 3 days a week lifting (using NROLW)
    * 2-3 runs a week (training for a race in March)
    * One rest day
    * Tons and tons of foam rolling so I can still walk
    * Eating 70% paleo (I eat dairy and occasionally something with wheat, like a piece of toast)
    * One sweet, delicious life-affirming beer a week (I do live in the Pac NW, after all). 1-2 glasses of wine too if I feel I'm going mental.

    I'd love to lose 5lbs - but realistically, I would be pleased with any loss. I really, really just want to develop a consistent workout routine. It's rough for me,, midwinter, to find time for anything but sleep! :/

    Maybe try some sort of trail mix? You'll get good things in there like nuts and raisins but still feel like you're treating yourself a little bit with the sweeter stuff too :)
