Well, I had a lot of obstacles in January and did not meet my goal. But I am determined to meet and exceed it in February! I am setting a goal of 8 pounds, so just at 2 pounds per week. I have been very good about logging my calories the past few days, and plan on getting back to Curves for some work outs.
Also, I plan to get some good shoes for walking and start training to walk or walk/jog a 5k in May.

Woohoo!

 

[Lesli54]

Put me down for 10lbs lost in February. I think the extra fun of doing a challenge again will help keep me in the spirit of losing.

 

[larry's girl]

I'm in for 8 pounds - let's see if I can lose 2 pounds a week!

Thanks!

I didn't get my Jan. met either. But I did lose a little. I'm going to shoot for 8lbs for this month. Hope we all achieve our goals for the month.

 

[Donald's Shrink]

My goal from now until summer will be 10 lbs a month. So mark me down for 10 lbs in February.

 

[lisaviolet]

Eight please Geekerbell. Thank you for all your time and work.

I didn't lose not 1 pound in January but I'm not giving up! I set for 5 pounds for february and keep my feet moving and my fingers crossed.

 

[tmfranlk]

I'm not expecting Feb to be as high a loss as Jan since that was month one, but I'll push and go for 8 this month. Thanks Geekerbell!

 

[r3ngels]

Count me in for 8 lbs... It will be tough but I will try.

 

[AuntieM03]

Please put me down for 12. Thanks so much!

I forgot to add great job!! What have you been doing to be so successful?

 

[pjlla]

Okay.... January was a great month for me. I actually exceeded my goal. And it was great to have a challenge to try to meet. So I am going to set another big goal for February. I'm going for 10 pounds in February. That is slightly more than 2 lbs. per week. I'm going to have to ramp up the exercise if I am to have any chance of reaching this goal.

GOOD LUCK to all!!! .......................P

 

[WDWorBUST]

Count me in - I will shoot for 12 pounds.

I keep my calories to between 1200 and 1400 a day, I drink 5-8 bottles of water a day, I don't limit what foods I can eat so long as they fit in my calorie count, I work out 4-5 days a week ( 3 days of strength training and 30 minutes on the elliptical 4-5 days), no caffeine and i post on disboards daily... The last is probably one of the most important.. hehe...

Good Luck Everyone!!!
