Team Skinny March 2014....Let the Madness begin on getting leaner

I'm in. Been out sick. So my start weight will be Wednesday.

My goal for the month is to get healthy again and weight goal of under 145 by the end of the month.

I've been out for a couple of months, but I'd like to join back in again. Basically, this month is really do or die for me. I need to start seeing the scale move down if I ever expect to fit into my wetsuit in time for my first race of the season in May and I also have an upcoming vacation next month and I need to be bikini ready! Not entirely sure what my official start weight is for the month, but I've been fluctuating in the 134-137 lately. I'd like to see 130 by the end of the month, since that would really tell me that the scale was actually moving and it's not just a shift due to water weight.

ok kids, I am in.

Weighed in this morning at 212. So that is down 6 pounds in the past 5 weeks. I guess that is solid. Goal this week is stick to my silly keto plan. Going to try to stay in ketosis until March 14, then carb up that weekend. See how that goes. This Friday is going to be a real bi-atch as I have the fam coming over to celebrate my daughters birthday. Think we will stick to just serving them dessert. Wish me luck.

Keep lifting heaving and swimming and I hope things work out.

I'm in!

My start weight for March is 189.8 lbs. My goal for March is 184 lbs. My other goals for March include tracking WW pts (this is the only way I've found to eat a reasonable amount of food. My brain needs to be re-trained on portion sizes and feeling full). I'm also planning to work up to running 6 miles this month in preparation for a half marathon in May that I went ahead and signed up for.

Keep up the good work, everybody! It's inspiring to see your success!

I'm IN! (Can't believe I just wrote that) The pressure is now on! No more excuses!! Here's to March!!
Start weight 130.8 this am... 125 is my goal for end of March.

222.6 this morning. Goal: 210 by 30MAR.

March is my month.I weighed in at 217. This week I would love to post on Wednesday 215, but know that I will expect gains the following week. I am running the LA Marathon. This will be my first marathon. I will celebrate, but I need to keep at shortly after this completion. my goal is to do a Olympic Triathlon, by end of May.

I identify with this guy, and will be following him on FB and Twitter. http://thelongroadtoboston.com/,I am a Clydesdale at 217, but I wonder if I can get down to below 200. I have been trying to do that for two years. I have come to the conclusion I am doing it wrong. I have dedicated this year to eating cleaner, with a choice being made each month to change something. This actually started last year, I first stopped drinking Soda. Then tried to eat one Veggie meal a week. Then start having smoothies for breakfast. Each month it is something new. It usually, takes a couple of tries to make it a habit, but I see a difference. Maybe not so much in my weight, but in my general health. My responses to activities that used to wipe me out. I am usually asking for round 2.

With all of that said and that this weekend I plan to run LA, I am struggling for what change to make in March. What choices ARE you making? Any ideas, how can I get out of the Clydesdale category and start possibly achieving bigger goals.

I really need in on this. This morning I weighed in at 188.something. At my lowest l've been 172. feeling very far from that these days. My ultimate goal would be near 150. For March, I'd like to be back under 180.

I'm in... this will motivate me to stay on track. I've been going backwards lately.

Today's weight: 149

Goal for end of March: 144

Back in!

Finished February at 236.5, but then had a great day with my wife and bumped back up I'm sure

Goal for March is 230

Good Luck everyone!

I'm back. I ended the year 2013 with pretty good progress, then packed on the pounds over the holidays.

My starting weight today March 4: 170.5

My end of March goal: 165

My end of April goal: 160

My end of May goal: 155

My big weaknesses are red wine, sugar, chocolate, white rice, white noodles, biscuits and gravy and corned beef hash. (I don't indulge in the biscuits and gravy and corned beef hash on a regular basis, but our cafeteria at work serves it and I got it twice last month.) With all of the cold weather we've been having in the mid atlantic, I've been craving comfort foods.

My goal is to stick to 1200 cals. a day and exercise 4 x week. So far, I've been exercising at least 2 x week and cutting back on the indulgences. I'm using MFP to track calories. So far I'm up to 1108 today.

I'd love to join in. I just saw this today, so I will weigh in tonight.

I'll be 50 this year and have noticed that my body composition is changing quite a bit and it is harder to take of weight. So I think that seeing other's succeed and having come accountability will be a good thing. I just finished the first marathon I have run in quite a few years on Saturday. I'd like to drop a few more pounds before the next race which is a 1/2 marathon on March 29th.

Well This weekend is it, I run my first Marathon.

Good Luck, looking forward to hearing how it goes!

Missed my weigh in this morning, I will post tomorrow.

147 now, but that's not really two pounds lost....

I'm in for March!

Starting weight: 108 lbs
Goal for end of the month: 106 lbs

I'm going to start doing weights for the first time, so this might be difficult to attain because of the buildup of lactic acid and whatever else it is that people talk about what happens to your body/weight when you start heavy lifting. We shall see! This month is Lent, so I've given up cheese and desserts. (The cheese is going to be especially hard for me because pizza is my weakness.) I also just joined XSport Fitness yesterday, so I'm really excited to get more exercise in than I have the rest of the year.

Lots of support and cheers for all of you!

P.S. I'm 5'2", which is why I'm still trying to lose the last few pounds. I don't have an eating disorder or anything like that!

3/6/14 - 149.4

Well forgot to weigh in yesterday. Hopefully getting back to working out after this sickness will help!
