Hello Everyone!! I looked and didn't see a Valentines Day Challenge yet and since I have a goal I want to achieve by then I figured I'd start one (sorry if there is one already!!)

I love spreadsheets!! I did this with some friends last year and we had a blast!!! It's easier to see your progress and update and those of your friends with out scrolling through dozens and dozens of posts.

Just click the link and put in your VST Username, your weight in day of the week and what your goal is for this challenge. (6 weeks)

My info is in and I will update tomorrow!!!

IF the spreadsheet isn't for you please feel free to join in below the more participants the better!!

My stats:

WI- Thursdays

Goal- 11lbs

Progress TBD 1/3/12

I look forward to seeing who plays along with this challenge!!!

I had my surgery on 12/12/12 and was at a stall for two weeks......as soon as i started eating more calories and jogging on the treadmill at 3.7mph it seems the weight started falling off.....my problem was not eating enough calories which caused my body to store the fat instead of releasing it (In my mind) also I started adding swimming to my daily routine and that works wonders.....got on the scale this morning and i was even 2lbs lighter than yesterday.......although to be honest, when looking at myself in the mirror, I feel like the same fat girl that started this journey although i'm about 22lbs lighter....lol

Weigh-in day for me - I am down one pound, and now I am starting to believe that i will never weigh over 200 pounds again. It's like the farther I get from 200, the more confident I feel! So I will take the pound happily, which puts me at 196.8.

3rd week weigh in down -3.2.

Super stoked with the week I had! finally after having some slow losing weeks It picked up again! My goal to reach 100 pounds lost by valentines day is actually very close in sight!! That will also be my 5 month post op anniversary!! Can't wait to reach that first big accomplishment!!

.2lbs up this week. Dang TOM.

After nothing lost last wk, down 4lbs this week :-)... which puts me only 9.5 lbs from wonderland!!! I cant wait!!! Some point in Feb **fingers crossed** I will b under 200 for the first time since probably HS? !!!

Down 8 pounds after nothing for 3 weeks. Feels good to be back on track again!

Here's me with all my new best'ies Kathryn Ireland and Martyn Lawrence Bullard (and some other folks LOL)

Back from Hollywood I lost .6 while I was gone, which isn't terrible. Just 4.3 to go to goal...though to be honest, that's a stretch goal given how slowly I lose. We'll see how it goes! Maybe no wine for a week.....Ehhh let's not get drastic LOL

Oh I'm the little one in black on the end. Fun to be "the little one" again It's been a few years!
