How much lost in Feb????
Hi All-I was just wondering how much everyone lost in Feb? I lost only 4 pounds. I have 3 pounds til goal of 150. I have lost 90 so far. I am comfortable with the weight I am now. I don't really want to lose too much more but will strive for the doc's goal weight of 150. I need to get my butt back into excercising. I have have been VERY bad this past month but am planning on starting the new month again on track! This winter and being cold to my bones because of no fat has me curled up with a blanket on the couch. I can't wait to get outside in the springtime!!

Hi Sharon, I lost 8lbs this month, which for me was a good amount. Up until this past month I was not exercising regularly or keeping a detailed account of my food intake. I started Jan 31st using sparkpeople web site to track my food intake, water intake and exercise. This way I was able to keep on track and keep myself accountable for everything I put in my mouth. It also kept me motivated to exercise. I use my tredmill at least three times a week for 30 minutes, I have been pushing myself to increase my speed and incline and going farther in the 30 minutes. On alternating days I do muscle strengthening exercises. I was pleased it all payed off and motivated to continue what I have been doing.
My starting weight was 269 and am now 170. My own goal is between 140 and 150, I am not sure yet. My doctor never gave me a goal weight.
You have done great, I am sure you will get to your goal, you are so close. The warm weather is on it's way!

Hi Sharon, I lost 7 pounds this month. I have started walking everyday, and I am trying to increase my miles each week. Last week I was walking 2 miles. I have been out of town and so I havent had much exercise, just going up and down the stairs about twice a day. I guess that is some exercise. Had to go see my doctor, been having stomach pains, so he did some tests. Hopefully by Friday, will know the results.
Everyone here is doing so well. That is great that you are just a few pounds from goal, way to go!! I have about 55 more pounds to go.

Hey there,
Well I think I lost about 9 pounds in Feb....still 21 from goal at 150...but I am really getting back to the basics and posting OH boards...made the STUPID mistake of reading "failed WLS" board....scared the H-E-double toothpick out of me. As the WoW moments come further and further apart....I really need the support now. I know I have said this before....but thanks to everyone who posts...you never know how much it has helped this lurker to read of everyone's joy and struggles. One of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite movies...Shadowlands (the story of C.S. Lewis)...."We read to know that we are not alone" Reading the April 2006 board has shown me time and time again....I am NOT making this journey alone. Once again, THANK YOU and Blessings!

Cyndi love that book and the man too...I am glad the posts have helped and glad you came out of lurking status.
You will do this and make goal but I know that it slows down a lot as we approach goal which really if you think about it is good. We do not want to get so below goalwe look sickly.
Remember how long it took to get from the normal size we were to Morbidly Obese.
May the Lord continue to bless your efforts and obedience.
In Him,
