January/February weight loss challenge

[azfiddle]

Keep me on the list. I am going to try to back down to 112....

I'm in. Time to really and truly change the way I eat and shop. I can't keep buying healthy food for me and junk for for kids. I eat the junk, it's just not working. I have to change the way the entire family eats. I guess it's time to lay down the law with the DH.

Thank you Posse Gal.

I'd like to join in. I kept myself mostly on-track through the holidays (lost 8 lbs. between Thanksgiving and NYE), but could probably use some extra accountability.

I'm starting at 226. I'd like to be at 215 by the end of February.

[woohoo]

Okay, I've never done anything like this before but what the heck, it's time to start!

I'm in. Currently 180 with an ideal weight of 145, but it's been heading in the wrong direction of late, so I'll be happy just to see any improvement by the end of february!

I'm having a hard time deciding what a good goal is for me? I am seriously debating purchasing a scale with a BMI function on it to help me with this. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow for a physical just to start the year off right and see how the ole bod is doing. I would like to get down to an ideal weight what ever that may be. I tried weighing at the gym the other day and the scale wasn't working right, it kept hanging. It told me I weighed 165 which only puts me 10 lbs below my heaviest weight to date of 175 when I was wearing a size 16-18. So I really hope that scale was wrong, now I wear a size 10 which is pretty small for me and I'm a tad over 5'7. May talk to my doctor tomorrow about a good goal to shoot for.

My goal has been 23% body fat. I am about 24% now. I do have a scale with a body fat function and I like it, but it fluctuates with how hydrated I am.

I've switched from aiming for a number on the scale to body fat% as well. Last time I had my body fat % done at the doctor's office, I was at 24.5%. I'm aiming for 19-20%. I go next Monday to have it done again.

I'd love to be a part of this. I last weighted myself about a week or so ago at 121 and measured at 34-27-36. While I am quite happy with the shape of my body I need to get off my lazy butt and tone. I have been making great steps to do this and have been doing yoga at least 4 times a week plus a weekly belly dancing class. I would like to incorporate more bike rides, but since I am not a seasoned rider by any means I am going to wait till the weather warms up a bit.

My real goal is to continue with the 6 days a week workouts, maybe even push to everyday as long as I don't over strain myself.

Here's hoping to following through in 2011!!
