Valentine's Day Challenge!

In about seven short weeks, Valentine's Day will be here! Who's up for a challenge? With the holidays behind us and some of us making our goals and some of us falling a little short, I thought I might motivate us a little more by starting a new challenge. The New Year is at hand and we will all want to start off with a bang! This challenge is shorter than the previous two I have been involved with, so set your goals accordingly... I seem to set mine a little too high every time but it makes me work harder trying to reach it.

My stats for this challenge are:

SN: Forensikchic SW: 179 GW: 164 CW: 179 pounds to lose: 15

Upon reaching my goal I will be down 70 pounds overall!!!!! and only 30 more to goal!

Its time to kick that exercise in gear and get this show on the road! We want to be looking fly come summer time! Who's with me?

    Slimming Sarah. I already consider you as making your goal. I know that muscle will add weight and therefore, hence, you are there. It's just muscle weight that will help you burn that excess fat a

I'm a little late to this but giving it a go. I missed my Christmas goal by 8 lbs (damn you cocktails and cookies!!). :) I'm leaving on a cruise on February 19 so I'm pretty dedicated this time, I have a size 12 bathing suit I'd love to fit into next month!

Hi all,

I'm still doing a little extra snacking so I'm grateful for my very small loss this week: .2 lbs. My goal for the following week is to return to my full workout schedule and cut back on the Snacks. I've got to step up weight loss to hit my goal by Valentine's Day.

My Valentine's Goal also includes reaching the following goals:

144: This was my Christmas goal and I've lost 110 lbs. (32 pre-op and 78 post op). 9 lbs. to my final goal!!!

142: I've lost 80 lbs. post-op

140: Five lbs. to my final goal!!!

139: My number starts with 13. I haven't weighed this since the early-90s.

135: GOOOAAAL!

I'm joining the Valentine's Day challenge. I didn't meet my Christmas challenge but I'm going to meet my Valentine's Day goal. I set an absolutely reachable goal and my New Year's Resolution was to get started on my exercise routine and that's what I'm going to do!

That's fabulous! Were you doing anything different the past few days or do you think your body just was ready to let the weight go?

I think I underestimated myself this time around. I've been losing really really slowly the past couple of months. (Probably because of all the cookies and junk that's been around me) I've already lost 2 pounds towards my V-Day goal. I'm not going to change it, just hoping to blow my goal out of the water!!
