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?

SN: Forensikchic SW: 179 GW: 164 CW: 169.5 pounds to lose: 5.5

Been losing like Mad this week...3.5 pounds! I dont know why but I am very happy. I know I will stall again but I am hoping for this losing streak to continue! I have not weighed under 170 in about 18 years! So happy to be in the 160's!!!! Yay!

Congratulations!! I know how hard you have been working! Final stretch is within reach!!

I came back on this website right after it went back up, and it was the only website open when I became aware that I was under attack - malware, not just a virus. Anyway, I got it all fixed up but have been leery of coming back. Malware is very commonly spread by the commercial ads that are on websites - so that is what I always suspect.

I have only lost 3.2 over the past 2 weeks, but i am down to a weight that I haven't seen since I think 2008 so I am happy about that! People are starting to notice the lost weight too, which is a real boost.

2 lbs this week . . . slow & steady wins the race! I may not hit my goal, but as long as the scale keeps moving down and not up, I'm not complaining.

I could have sworn I updated this at least once since I joined. I guess I didn't. I'm a little under one pound away from my Valentine's day goal. My weight loss has been really fast lately. Maybe I'm losing a little faster than is healthy for a lower weight (not that I'm complaining). I'll probably reach my goal before Valentine's day.

I started this challenge at 169.3 lbs on December 28. Now I'm 160.9 lbs.

I reached my Valentine's day goal. I'll keep an eye out for the next challenge. Good luck, everyone!

I am down about 5 lbs but I promised myself not to weigh in I til my next dr. Appointment because I tend to get obsessed with the scale and then eat poorly if it's not moving as fast as I want it to.

Good job everyone!

I blew past my Valentine's Day goal and it's not even February yet. I completely underestimated myself this time around. I'm just going to keep on going and then I'll post where I'm at on Valentine's Day.

Congrats to everyone on their progress so far!

I am doing good - have 4 lbs left to make my goal.... glad the number on my scale keeps dropping!

Start of Valentine's Day Challenge - 222

Valentine's Day Goal - 208

Hi all,

I have a new low for a loss this week, but at least it's a loss: .1 pound! I skipped two workouts and snacked more than one day, so I can't say I'm surprised. I have 3.3 lbs. to go to my final goal weight. I know I can get there if I buckle down.

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!

Valentine's Day:

Well, I have surpassed my Valentine's goat. It was 160 lbs. Today my scale finally went down to 155.9. So I need to set a new goal weight for Valentine's day! My CW is 155.9, My goal weight is GW 150. That should be quite a challenge. Actually, even though I lost lbs, Imy cloths aren't any looser. ;( but I',m very happy because I know the inches will melt away soooooooon..

Congrats Dorrie! You are right, inches will be next. I hope I get to goal let alone set a new one!

Well, I had another good week! Dropped another 5#. I've changed my Vday down once already. Think I'm just going to leave it alone and just see how far I can get by then. Working hard to lose as much as I can before my trip to Europe. I leave March 23rd!!! I think my long flight will be so much easier being down in weight not feeling squished into my seat. Others around me will likely appreciate it too. :bigear:

Surgery weight: 271

Starting V-Day Challenge weight: 179

Valentines goal weight: 154

Reporting in. It's been 2 weeks since I reported my weight loss, inpart because the website was down and also I heard one person got a virus shortly after the site came back up so I was a little leary of coming back.

Anyhow, down another 5#!!! I'm only 1# away from my V-day goal, so I'm going to change my goal to 154 and see if I can make that.

My surgiversary was one year ago yesterday. What a difference a year makes! But wow, it sure gets harder the farther out you get.

I'm in. I must say that I was in a while back but forgot to look for the initial post.
