March Progress Report- More Good News!

March is coming in like a ...

Good job family! You continued to lose weight in February. We are down by another 14 lbs (not including any weight gain- there were a couple:-) ). The cumulative total is -37 lbs since Jan 1 for a new combined weight of 1,823. So, that's 2.2% of our starting weight. Not too bad for a majority of folks who are stil in the depths of an OH winter:)

Just wait until spring hits and you can get outside and RUN!

The projected loss on the chart (the green bars and the trend line) show where we'd be if we continue to lose 1% of body weight for the rest of the year... With that assumption, we'd lose a total of about 200 lbs in a year. That's the equivalent of a whole adult we'd be dropping.

Since Jan was our starting month and Feb was our focus on exercise month- March can be our focus on eating healthy month. I'll be posting a few recipes that I've been using that I like and if you send me what's been working for you, I'll post that too.

So, good job- keep it up!
