February Weight Loss Challenge
 

Join us for a groundhog challenge -- can you make your shadow smaller in February? The monthly weight loss challenge is a great place to track your progress in February and, then, follow through with each monthly thread for the rest of the year.

State your goal for February and join a supportive and encouraging group to help you meet it. We will compile our goals into a list. As each goal is met during the month, it gets turned RED in celebration.

Join us at our sister thread, the http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/chic...challenge.html, to track your February fitness goals.

I'm in! I love this idea and want to get serious again about losing. Moral support really helps me.

My goal is to get to 215 in February. 2 more days until I start tracking here. I am ready! :carrot:

February Challenge
 

Hi....I would love to be a part of the challenge...I need to be accountable.

My first goal is to walk for an hour every day that I am off from work.

My second goal is to not eat in my vehicle and not eat after 7pm.
My third goal is to lose 2 pounds a week.

Have a great day and stay warm :)

sum38 Welcome back and good luck!

AAD Me too, I'm waiting til tomorrow as well... welcome back!

selway Welcome.... yes 12 is a lot...but it can be done esp if you have a lot...the more we have to move the more we burn.... only good thing I guess.... me too...

sweetenuf welcome....holy cowbeans!! quite a lofty goal.... what kind of plan are you on? It can be done....

princesshuccup welcome!

pixie3208 Don't feel bad about goals that seem small, they are good motivators and really help make a good habit...and habits take a few weeks to set in.... bad habits also take a while to break...welcome and good luck!

seaurchin Welcome! I see you really came a long way last month... what kind of plan are you on? Good luck, see you around the boards!

Rated Good goal, good luck!

Haven't done a weight loss challenge in a LONG time. I'm in for 8 pounds this month.

SW: 186 lbs.
GW: 178 lbs.

I'm back at in again. Met goal in January. So I am aiming to do so again. Goal is to lose 5 pounds

I am in this month. I will do my weigh in and decide my goal in the morning. Good luck everyone!!!

gardenjoy thank you for keeping this going for all of us :)

katerina11 WOW girl, you are about to hit that 100 mark!!!!

AuzzieDee I am really trying to work on my exercise too in February.

Avezy44 Hi, your avitar is such a pretty picture

underanalysis hope you make your running goal, I dream of being a runner one day

Sum38 12 pounds...that's a hefty goal for someone as little as you, best of luck.

AAD Hello, I am waiting until tomorrow for my final weigh in and then decide on my new goal then too.

selway Hi, I love the idea of trying new recipes. Let us know if you discover something really good.

sweetenuf cute name. Good luck in February

princesshicup Welcome, this group is soooo suportive. Hope to see you around a lot

pixie3208 I like setting the smaller goals so I can actually reach them. When I first started
dropping some pounds I would be so mad at myself if I didn't lose 10 pounds a week. All
of the negative self talk would make me just want to give up. I am happy with 1 pound a week,
or even a week without a gain is good.

seaurchin Good luck with getting to your wedding day weight!

Rated Hello, I see you are in Canada. I am in the south but we were soo cold this week. You
must be one tough girl to live in a place that is cold all winter long.

SeeMyFeet Woot Woot!!! 7 more pounds goooneee!!!!

MissSMcC You can do it!!!! You will be closer to 200 than you are to 300. I felt awesome when I hit 249 and you will too very soon!!!

Turtle11 I think I am going to shot for a pound a week too. We can do it girl!!!

stilettolife Looks like you will be heading to Vegas in February!!!

Woodstock You are so close to your final goal, how awesome thats gotta feel!!!

NighAngel26 Glad to see you back. You were so encouraging to everyone last month. You ROCK.

Rsadler126 You are sure to reach the 100's in February, you are sooo close!!!

darius Hi and good luck with your 10pounds.

curvynotlumpy love your name :) Glad you decide to join in.

ajlee33 Hi and awsome job last month!!!

Glad to see all the newcomers this month and of course happy to see all the returning chicks and roosters!!! Joy, thank you for this February thread! Things are getting busier for me right now, but I am in! I hope to lose 5 lbs and I will give my starting weight tomorrow. :D

I'm in! My February goal is 10 pounds but I will be glad to lose 8.

I am a low carber, a vegetarian, and I also adhere to an eating pattern of calorie cycling called JUDDD.

Looking forward to participating in the February challenge. :)

Hi everyone!

I am in! I'd like to lose 2,2kg this month and make it to 76,5kg. I just realized that's kind of a lot, but let's aim high.
Not weight loss related, I hope to get back into my exercise routine; hopefully to beat my 11k time and I want to run 13k, which is further than I ever did before, and if I'm feeling brave, maybe even 15k. But that just as a personal side-note.
I will weigh in on Fridays but check in with exercise and calories daily.

So here it goes!

SW: 78,7kg
2/7:
2/14:
2/21:
2/28:
GW: 76,5kg

yesterday's exercise: 43min run (6k)
yesterday's calories: 1400

I am easing back into the running - I really struggled after 2 weeks without moving much, but I made it home. Rest day today. 17 sleeps till my first exam! Uuurgh.

Good luck to everybody this month! We can do it!

I am just getting starting with this and my goal is to lose 10 pounds by the end of Feb.

SW (Jan 31): 143.8
GW: 139.8

Feb 1: 144.0

GW: 168
SW: 173
CW: 173

I don't know why my weight is up but it's been on the rise for 2 weeks now, so my goal as of right now is just to get back to my ticker weight! :shrug:

Feb goal 151
 

Hi all,happy February! Only 49 days til spring!

Since I have a post treat gain today, I'm just making my goal 151.

I don't want to say I'm losing 8.6 pounds when I'm really only losing 4.5, 151 is a scary enough number for me on it's own... :lol:

Best of luck to everyone, let's do this, great time to renew those resolutions!

Feb 1 - 159.6 - sodium bump up (5.2 lbs! one day :D)

Feb 28 - 151

Hi, everyone! My February goal is to lose 7.7 lbs. I'm hoping this thread will help keep me focused.

My goal is to blow through the 150's!
Yesterday, I was 158, today, I am 159. Either way, looking to be 149 to start March!

SW - 156
2/1/ - 156

My Goal:
 

Well it was an amazing month last month...ending out at 246, so my goal this month is 236! 10 lbs....

I know that I will eat things I shouldn't, that the scale will rise for it, that it will also rise for no reason from time to time....BUT I will not let that get me down, it will not defeat me.... I will return another day and keep at it!

02/01: 246
