Anyone up to try a Valentine Day challenge? We'll post our progress on Mondays as usual except for the last day, 2/14/2010 which is on a Sunday.

I would love to try!!! I want to lose 20 lbs by Feb 14th!!

I had my surgery 6 weeks ago and I have lost 21 pounds. I get my first fill on Dec 6th. My weight is 265 so I'm going to shoot for 20. That would make my wieght 245 if I meet my goal. I haven't been able to exercise yet cause of another surgery I just had. When I start exercising I will loose more during that month. I can start exercising a week from monday. I am so excited about the challenge thanks guys, cause I really need the support of others. I was told not to eat before a fill by someone. Is that true? you should not eat before a fill. My dr never said anything about that. I usually eat four eggs for breakfast. That takes care of 24 of protein and is only 200 calories.

I would like to be in this as well I am setting a goal of 12 pounds. I am this morning 186.5. I would love to be in the low 170's by Valentines Day!! Whoooohoooo!!! I started at 247 in June of 09. (Currently 61 pounds down but don't know how to make a ticker )

I would like to be in on this challenge! I just had surgery 3 days ago. Started at 246, down to 240. I don't get my first fill until the week of January 25th-ish. So I would like to lose 15 pounds by Valentine's Day! I hope that's not too much of a goal since I just had surgery!

Oh...this is great! Please count me in. I would love to lose 12 lbs. by Valentines Day, which is my wedding anniversary. I will post my starting weight on Jan. 4th, Monday morning.

This is a good idea. Thanks for starting the challenge. This is just the motivation and accountability that we all need.

Jillagould, Go to tickerfactory.com it will guide you through the rest.

My goal is 20 pounds by Valentines. I'm having my lapband installed tomorrow. With the liquid diet and stuff I think I can do it. I have lost 18 pounds in the past 2 months without the band. Goodluck to you all.

Count me in! I get my first fill on 1/14 and I'm starting to see the scale move a little bit, so I'm in! I'd like to lose 15 lbs before 2/14. I'm currently 188, so that would put me at 173! Holy crap! NEVER thought that weight would be in reach!!

Good luck everybody!

I would like ot join.. I am at 189 down from 226. Surgery was July23/09. I think i would like the support of a challenge.

I am aiming for 12lbs 2lbs per week for me.

I'm in too! Someone else said 2 lbs a week for a goal and I think that is doable. So I plan to be 12 lbs. lighter by 2/14/10. Yesterday my weight was 180 lbs but I'll see what it says tomorrow (Monday) and go by that starting weight.
