Going to be positive about the fact that I am trying and am at a 3.2lb loss for the month and 4.2 lb. for the year. For the most part I did not eat after 7pm or had a 11 hour fast depending on the day and when breakfast was. This upcoming month I am going to try hard to get at 7hrs of sleep a night and keep the 11 hour fast going. I am looking at having a personal trainer. Hoping that will help get me on track with weightlifting/diet. Can't decide if I want to spend only 175 dollars for 5 exercise sessions or pay 400 dollars for a 12 week training and nutrition program. Decisions, decisions.

Goal for Feb: lose eight pounds

Made my February goal! Setting a similar goal for March. 1.75 pounds a week maybe, since it's getting harder as I lose more.

I am going on a retreat for the weekend so for the next three days, all bets are off. :dancer: I am going to try REALLY HARD to stay on plan. I am bringing all my own foods to supplement the healthy (but carb-loaded) vegetarian food they have at the conference center. Even bringing some of my chocoperfection candy bars for desserts!

Praying I keep my self-control and don't gain 10 pounds at the retreat. http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/im.../pray_2011.gif

Congrats to all those who made goal and those who stuck with it. :carrot:

Down 2.2 for the month! Better than nothing... on to March and a big loss :D

I forgot I had set a goal, but it was 218 as I see from a previous post. lol I almost made it. Maybe I would have been less than 2 pounds away if I hadn't decided to have a "free" day yesterday. Otherwise I did very good. February was a great month! Time to March on!

Goal: 3Ws (Weigh, Write a food plan, Write a post) every day, starting the 4th.
