Time to put February behind me and March On!

Alright, I'm ready to get my act together again. My lose for February was 4.2lbs. Not great, but not bad considering it was a pretty crumby month for me in the weight loss department.

March Goals:

1. Stay on plan all month.
2. Strength train 3 days a week.
3. Cardio 3 days a week.
4. Make it to 180 or lower by April 1st.
5. Check in everyday.

I'm still lurking! Just wanted to stop by and wish you ladies the best of luck for the month of March! I know you will all do fabulously as you are such a great support group for each other ~ I miss posting here daily and catching up with everyone!

Hello ladies,

Emme - It's nice to hear from you. We really miss your positiveness too. I hope all is going well with your and the baby.

Penguin - "ditto" to your #1 goal. My sentiments exactly. We can do it if we stay focused at each meal.

Kim - 4.2 for the month is great! Sure wish I could say that I'd lost that. Seems like most of us had a crappy Feb but I hope we all have a better March.

Today I decided to Join Weight Watches Online and give that a try before I start the meetings. My sister is joining the meetings today so we will encourage each other. Also another lady at work started online so we'll encourage each other too. I just want to get back in the zone I was in before I fell overboard.

I hope everyone has a great day and let's all make March our best month every.

Hi, is it alright if I join in?


My goals for March:

1. Log everything, no treats except on Friday
2. Workout at least four days per week, get in some light activity on rest days
3. Check in every day
4. Try to cut out the negative self-talk

Hi and Bunneh. We'd love to have you join in the challenge. Your goals are great and CONGRATS on losing 75 pounds!!! That is awesome. I really like your # 4 goal too. I'm hoping to have nothing but positive to contribute here this month. The last half of Feb was awful for me but March is going to be great!

I look forward to hearing about your great results this month

I hope everyone else is having a great start to the month.

WE CAN DO IT!!!

Hi. I'd like to join

My goals for March . . .

1. Exercise EVERY day, even if it's just 10 minutes, and record my steps (pedometer)

2. Eat more real foods.

3. Write down 3 positive things every day.

So far for today I've walked 4,044 steps, and ate well - real food except for 2 'skinny cow' bars - the last ones in the freezer, I could have tossed them but didn't

3 positive things: (1) my clothes look like they belong to someone else - they are baggy on me!; (2) my skin is looking really nice and clear these days; (3) I see exercise as an incremental process; I don't have to do a 35-pound-loss worth of exercise in one day.

I'll post every day my exercise and eating, and I'll post as many of my positives as I can without TMI !

Pretty day here. I've got the windows open again! Cardio and stretching for later. Re-reading my goals it seems 6 and 7 contradict each other, lol.

My mom got me watching Dr Oz for a few weeks, one thing he said was to have a 'cheat' day. I tried this and it seems to work, if I have one day I can go 'overboard' I can 'do better' the rest of the week. So yesterday was my day this week, while last week it was Thursday.

Olivia, welcome, glad to have you join us. Where did your oxygen/flames quote from? its interesting.

Emme, good to hear from you.

Kim, I think I gained 2 lbs in Feb, a loss {any loss} sounds great

hey everyone!

i'm gonna go ahead and set the same goals i set last month... i managed to complete them all except for the "lose 8 pounds" goal... i only lost 5.3.

1. ON PLAN for 27/31 days... I usually allow Sundays to be a little bit more relaxed!

2. My weight loss goal is to lose 8 pounds.

3. Gonna try to visit the gym on a fairly regular basis. I set my exercise goal to 24 hours in March, or 1440 minutes.

4. I will be here as much as I can. My problem is, I don't always feel like I have something worthwhile to say, so I just read.

5. Personal challenge: H2O like whoa! I plan on drinking 80oz of water per day, every day this month.

6. Personal challenge: ONLY weigh in once a week! The scale went from being my friend to being my enemy. I will not let the number dictate my days!

Penguin It's from the song "Let the Flames Begin" by Paramore.

I did 25min of cardio and 25min of active stretching.

Olivia, I had to Google, I hadn't heard of Paramore. I like the part about 'hope buried beneath it.'

Mandy, Everything you say is worthwhile! weighing is such a weird thing. {words fail me} Anything that has such a grip on my emotions, but is so flexible {fluxuates randomly} can't be good for me. I think I get so tied up in the actual number {that never seems to change} that I miss things like my pants fit better, I feel so much more alive, and I'm not the slave to sugar that I was a year ago!

SanityNow, welcome, glad to have you join us. I could use some more positive in my life, I look forward to hearing what you post tomorrow. Some days I find it much easier to do 2 shorter workouts than to try to fit one long workout in. I also tend to work a bit harder with shorter workouts.

Good evening ladies. I've started out March right. I had a good day including getting my cardio in. I did an hour on my bike for 15.7 miles.

I hope everyone had a great first day of the month too. =)

Started my morning off right, got in my strength work out and now it's time to get ready for work. I hope you all have a great day!
