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.

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. 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.

[Turtle11]

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

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

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!

Congrats to everyone who made goal and to those of us who are still working it even though we didn't make goal great job everyone!
