January/February weight loss thread

Great job — I LOVE charts!

Yeah, I'm a scientist, so I'm all about the charts and graphs. Last month was my introduction to google docs thanks to martinkap, now I am using them for a couple other things too!

I'm in, too. I need to be accountable to someone other than myself and my D*H. I'm digging the chart, too. Very nice. Thank you for maintaining it.

Starting weight: 250
Goal weight: 230

Woohoo!

Well the thanks go to martinkap. She's the one that set last months up for us, I just spend a lot of time at a computer so it was easy for me to maintain it.

I hear ya about being accountable. I've got so many folks knowing my goals, just to try and be accountable at all times. Though my michellin man picture should be enough accountability for me.

I am in too. I am at 151. Hope to be 135 by the summer. Good luck to all of you.

What is your goal for the end of February solobiker? I will add it in to the chart.

Dang. I have a roll around my middle. And it's harder work to ride. And I feel it when I get aero...NOT GOOD! Also, I was with the SO (yep, an ldr) over Christmas, and I was saying how I was 10 lbs lighter when I first lost the weight and I just didn't know where I could lose it and he said something to the effect that we both could lose a bit more around the middle! Yep, I set-up myself with the good ole' 'Honey, do these jeans make me look fat?' question!

Sooo, I'm joining my first weight loss thread.

weight: 121 lbs
goal: 115

I got a balance ball for Christmas and am looking forward to incorporating core workouts into my routine. I used to do a lot of core and had a seriously toned tummy, no six pack but it wasn't squishy. I am hoping the ball that I always enjoyed will put me back on the path to toned tummy.

My goal by the end of February will be...145. Thanks!!

I'm in, too. I'll weigh in tomorrow morning and set the rest up.

My goal for the 8 weeks: 10 lb. lost... approximately 162 lb let's say!
It has been a long drawn out holiday season and I'm READY!

EDIT: My weight is 176.0 OMG!!!! That was one long holiday!

[hirakukibou]

I am going to give this a try. I weigh 130 and want to lose 12 pounds in the next two months, for a goal weigh at 118. Here we go.

I am doing this "secretly". All the times in the past when I joined this group I DID not lose weight. So I decided not to jinx myself. But I have started TODAY w/ my food issues. I am back on track with working out, but it is the food that is sabotaging me. So, I am w/ you all...but not posting. I am at the same place I have been FOREVER. So, this is it!

Good luck to all! I'll be checking to see other successes and any tips that work.

Hi Possegal!

I am sorry for flaking out last months. I got sick, it was the end of semester and I had 250 students knocking on my door plus the holiday time... Anyway, I am really happy that you like the google docs. I find them super useful and I am keeping more and more of my info in those files. Easy access anywhere - that is hard to beat.

So, can I join too? My weight 'surprisingly' increased over holiday - so I am back to 157. My goal would be 149 lbs but I am almost certain that this probably will not happen. 152 will be nice too but I want to keep reaching for the stars.

May I just say today is my first day since early November of diligently trying to stick to WW and I am starving! I maintained but now I am back to trying to lose. I may eat my desk before the day is through.

Have an apple or some raw carrots.

Hi Possegal....is it too late to join??? I know I've lost a couple of days, but I'm cool with it. I've been trying to keep track on my own anyway, and this now makes me committed with others.....

On Jan 2nd, I was at 193.
Goal for end of Feb 180.
Might as well make it interesting......

Good luck everyone!
