Chickadee - sorry to hear your negative results. Fingers crossed for next time, but in the meantime, I hope the break does you some good.

I did not meet my goal of 8 lbs; I think my losing has slowed a little and perhaps it was too ambitious, but I lost 6 1/2 lbs and I'm very pleased with that. I'm also finally in the "overweight" section of the bmi, instead of obese.

didn't meet my goal i was getting close and then bounced back up 2 pounds and stayed there i started at 276.5 and wanted to lose 8 pounds. instead i lost 4 and got to 272.5... however, i did exceed my exercise goal *and* i started strength training, so i guess i can't be too upset about overall fitness results for the month

[chickadee32]

InControl2Day: Great job on the 3 lbs this month! I definitely agree that it gets tougher to take it off toward the end, but you lost this month and that is the definition of success!

Steph7409: WAY TO GO on meeting your February goal!!! I made you RED below. It's so cool to have people be surprised at how differently you look, isn't it?

gardenerjoy: You kept at it all month long, and that's really a great achievement. Congratulations on a job well done!

CaliforniaDreamer: 7 lbs for the month is pretty great, and that's 7 less you have to take off forever!! Keep it up.

Jester: Thank you. And the 6.5 lbs sounds pretty fantastic to me - I would totally take that right now!! I'm glad you're happy with how the month turned out, as you should be!

konfyoozed: Some months feel slower than others, but you're so going to reap the rewards of that strength training in how you look and feel!! And in the end it will help you lose more too, since the muscle burns more calories on a daily basis. Win-win!

I'll update the list again tomorrow with any other final reports! For myself, I'm hoping the scale is still below 152.6 in the morning, but boy, my weight has gone NOWHERE this month. At least it's not still way up like it was a week or so ago though.

I made my goal....169!!!!!!! Yay! I think I'm gonna shoot for another 8 for March.......crossing my fingers.

[kandd416]

Great job ladies! It looks like everyone that wanted to lose this month did. Maybe you didn't quite make your goal, but be proud of what you did.

My final weigh in this month is 182.2, which means that I did not make my goal of 180. It's kind of funny, but the last two challenges I did I lost 61% of my goal. Maybe I should set my goal & then multiply it by the 61% next time?

Four days ago I bounced back up to my starting weight for February & then over the last three days I saw a loss of 3.4 pounds. It makes it so obvious that the bounce up was water. Now I'm wondering if I'm done shedding water or if I will lose more tomorrow.

Any how, on to the next challenge........................................

Good luck in your continued weight loss.

[loose seal]

Missed mah goal by 2 lbs but am down 4 lbs. from this time last month. So whoo hooo!!

See you all in the March challenge . . . .

[chickadee32]

madison: Congratulations on meeting your February goal!!! You are RED in the final goal list below. Great job!!

kandd and loose seal: You both did an awesome job this month! It's very inspiring to see those who remain committed all month long, and are in this for the long term - it's really what helps keep me going when I get frustrated with the lack of movement on the scale. Can't wait to see both of you lose even more in March.

Anyone else have a final report for February?

My final weight this morning was 151.9, which means I met my goal... but it doesn't feel like much of a success losing just 0.7 lbs this month when I worked SO much harder than that. Oh well, March has got to be better, so I'll look forward to being a bigger loser this next month.
