Another week, another pound lost. I'd love to be able to post a 2lb loss next time, so I'm going to aim for at least cardio sessions and good nutrition days this week.

You guys are making amazing progress! Keep it up.

Hi everyone! I hope it's not too late for me to join this challenge! What a great inspiration...Valentine's Day! I hope to be in the 160's somewhere in Valentines' day, but ideally, it would be less than 165 lbs.

December 14 186 lbs.

January 14 hope to be 176 lbs.

Feb. 14 hope to be 166 lbs. (or 165, or even less).

I can't WAIT to see those numbers! It's hard to believe that it could happen in such a short amount of time. However, if it doesn't...as long as I'm moving in the right direction and I'm totally focused on my goals and activities, I'll be proud of myself. Thank you!!! :)

Today was an Off Plan day. I got a little head cold, and there wasn't much that I could eat, except chicken noodle soup and broth. I know that I'm retaining fluid....my whole body feels heavier...bummer. I'll be glad when I get better, so that I can get myself back on track!

Head cold, it's time for you to go on a vacation...:club:

Hi Everyone! This is a great challenge. I just joined and foundout that I was too late for the Christmas and Years End Challenges. I am going to lose 2 pounds per week. That's pretty agressive for me, since I lose extremely slowly. I am coming upon my 55th birthday on Feb 21st! I would love to look Va-Va Voomish for my 55th!

Good Luck to all of us! WE CAN DO IT!

Just have to keep reminding my self that I am 1.4 lbs away from a 50 lbs loss! Can't believe it!

This is my first, and hopefully last, gain since I started this fitness kick. This week, I'm aiming for at least 4 days of exercise and eating on-plan. If I'm able to maintain, cool. If not, I won't dwell on it. Instead, I'll get myself psyched up for increasing my exercise and/or nutrition goals to at least 6 days per week till Valentine's Day.

35.6 lbs lost, 6.4 lbs to go!

So glad the holidays are over!! Definitely didn't live life on track as much as I could have this week, but I was expecting that whilst being on vacation. I'm happy to get back into my normal routine of things. Hope everyone has a good week!

6 weeks to go! Let's do this! :)

EXERCISE: At least 5 sessions per week of cardio that also challenges my muscles.
NUTRITION: At least 5 full days of enjoying 6 small, balanced meals throughout the day.
WEIGHT: From a starting point of 160, lose an average of 1 lb per week. BMI is in parentheses.

Thank goodness we made it through the holidays! Suddenly this far-off date feels very close.

Dunno about you, but I'm feeling sluggish and bloated after a long weekend of gluttony and sloth. I'm sure the weight I lost this week was muscle mass I'd rather hold on to, not the chub I'm trying to get rid of. Very much looking forward to getting back into my self-care routines this week.

Happy to get back on track with exercising and eating properly. We can do this!
