Default February Weigh-In Thread

Hey guys! Welcome to another monthly weigh-in thread!
Where are you now?
Goal?
Ultimate goal weight?
Exercise goals?

January 31st: 120.4 lbs (lighter scale)
Goal: maintain at 120 lbs (118-122 lbs)
Ultimate: according to this "monitor your weight" app I have, it's saying 112 lbs. Hah!
Exercise: 5 days week, run for 45 minutes or 4 miles, Insanity/P90x, one body part per day weights, calories at 1300-1600 depending on exercise, net 1000

Or, just put your daily weight

Thanks for starting this, Jen. I'm totally in! I'll be right back - the checkbook hasn't been balanced since the 15th, so I kinda hafta do that first.

Where I am now is at 113.4. I'm really happy with this number because I was at 113.9 two weeks ago, before hubby's vacation, when there was much eating and merriment!

My goal for this month is modest, and the same as every other month: two pounds, at half a pound a week.

I don't really have an ultimate goal weight, other than stopping before I get to a BMI of 18.4. I'll quit when I stop having a major gut and flabby thighs, to put it quite bluntly.

Exercise goals: I normally use exercise to get to my one-half pound loss for the week, if I have to. If I see I'm not making progress towards it fast enough, out comes the running, the treadmill, and the DDR.

Also, I'd like to figure out a way to incorporate yoga videos, even though we don't have wireless here (we're hard-wired, to avoid the RF). I can download them, or even just watch them and play them back later, but it's a hassle, because I don't have an iPad or a smartphone. Maybe I can buy a nice long yoga DVD with a month's worth of daily poses on it or something.

Best of luck to everyone in their endeavors!

2/1/15 121.4 lbs
I ate 1800 calories on Friday and didn't exercise, was 120.4 lbs on Saturday, ate 1200 and netted 800 after exercise, and woke up a lb heavier today. I did increase my water consumption.yesterday after getting a new app, to 8 cups. Hmmm. There have been a few times when I have eaten more and lost, but I'm too paranoid of gaining weight to test this!

Because I joined a "Five Pound Challenge," I decided to weigh myself this morning, which I normally wouldn't do after a couple of "Up Days." So my first number for February is 118.5! But this is "food baby" weight, so I'm hoping it will go away quickly. I did exercise this afternoon, with an hour walking and reading on the treadmill, and some nice, slow yoga/stretching after.

1/31/15 - 113.4
2/2/15 - 118.5 (probably wasn't helped by the "meatloaf three ways," including fried! )

You have to live once in a while. I had Cracker Barrel on Sunday (and then walked another four miles for good measure....hah)
I'm sure you will quickly lose the 5 lbs.

You are totally beating me on the treadmill. I probably do a mile or a mile and a half - in an hour! My speed is stunningly slow, lol. I was thinking about making it faster, but that might interfere with my reading.

1/31/15 - 113.4
2/2/15 - 118.5
2/3/15 - 116.6

UP 2 from 4 days of eating out. I'm back home now, and I'm going to give this month a good effort.

I love the treadmill for that reason....reading, music, or tv entertainment
