February Challenge
 

So, the month of love is rolling upon us. It seems as if this is a fairly small group, which frankly, I love. I'm wanting to start a challenge, by month, whether its pounds lost, minutes excersized, or water drank. So, I'm putting it out there for me, I hope you ladies<men too, if we have any!> will join me, and if not, call my name every week so I can be accountable. So, here's my challenges for me.

I WILL lose 8 pounds in the month of February.
I WILL do 120 minutes of cardio in the month of February.
I WILL do 60 minutes of weight training every week in February.

For me, once it's in black and white, once I've said I WILL do something, it's become a promise, so, now I have to do it :D . It's a silly method that works for me.

I hope some of you join me!

I'll join you. I start phase II on Friday.

Here are my challenges for the month of February.

I WILL lose 6 lbs in the month of February
I WILL do 4 hours of cardio every week in the month of February
I WILL drink 450 oz of water every week in the month of February

YAY!!! I'm so glad y'all are joining me! Good luck ladies and may we ALL meet our challenges!

I would like to join in to. I'll be just starting with Phase 1 on Feb. 1st. Since I am not sure what the standard amt of weight is to loose during phase 1, I will estimate as best I can.

I will loose 10 or more pounds in the month of February
I will work out 5 days a week. (1 hour each day)
I will drink 8 glasses of water per day.

Okay, I'll join too!

I will lose 10 pounds in the month of February.
I will exercise for at least 200 minutes per week.
I will drink 8 glasses of water per day.

I would like to join your February challenge too! I recently went to a speech by Dr. Ian Smith and it was fantastic. Besides the fact that I want to try this diet I signed up for a local "Biggest Loser" and if I get picked on Feb 5th I will start this diet February 9th. Even if I do not do the contest I will start February 6th.

I WILL lose 10 pounds in the month of February.
I WILL do at least 30 minutes of cardio at least 4 days a week in the month of February.
I WILL strictly do Phase I of the Fat Smash Diet in February.

Ok - here is mine.

I will reach or exceed my maintenance weight goal in February - only 4 lbs to go (but I will take a few extra, haha).

I will continue to Jazzercise a minumum of 5 days per week

I will up my running for 30 min/day, 3 days/week to 5 days a week.

I will go back to my full body weight training in Feb 3 days per week. (I am just doing arms now).

I think all that will be easy except running 5 days - the treadmill is so boring. I can't wait for warm weather!

Some of you already know this but I agreed to post bikini photos by May 1 on here - anyone else want to join me in that challenge as well? You can cut your head off, we just want to see those slender bodies :)

Good luck to everyone! WE CAN DO IT!

My day was complete insanity. And a wash as far as healthy went. BUT! It's only one day out of the rest of my life. Tomorrow, is a great day.

Angi! You are so right. One day doesn't hurt you like one year would! I know. I have let it go that long after making good habits. Glad I'm back though. :D

Sherry

83 miles or so, not to far!

Hi Sherry! Yep, we actually just bought a house in Katy. But his brother lives in Dayton. We still have plans to eventually buy about 10 acres out there in Liberty and build on it.

Nice to meet you! And I hope you meet all your goals too. This is a great place to get support. I am here all the time. I like being in touch with like-minded people. :D

Just checking in with my fellow February challengers!

I am on day 6 of Phase I. The diet is going very well. I haven't cheated at all! I have also maintained at least 2 hours of cardio each day. It killed me the first few days, but it's actually getting much easier.

Don't think i'm nuts with the 2 hour workouts. I am actually a contestant in a local radio station weight loss contest. This Sunday is our first weigh-in and Monday the first person will be eliminated. As long as I don't have the least % of weight lost this week I'll be happy :) There are 10 of us total competing for a cruise for 2 to Mexico. I, of course, will win.

I cheated and weighed yesterday and i'm down 6 pounds already :carrot:

Hi guys. I've been away for the forum for awhile. A business trip and birthday have gotten in the way for the past couple of weeks but I'm joining the Feb challenge. I know it's late but this is big news.

I will weigh less than 200 pounds by March 1st! And I will get myself a super killer amazing fancy massage.

So, with less than a week to go, how's everybody doing?

I'm down 3 of the 6 pounds I hoped to lose. With a few extra trips to the gym I think I can make it!

As of last Monday, I was down 5 pounds this month, still have 5 to go, but I have a weigh in on Monday, so maybe I've lost more, I hope so, but I don't think I'll hit my 10 lb Feb goal, But I am completely on track for my St Paddy's Day goal.
