Although it's still a little early, I wanted to go ahead and get things set up for a new challenge...the

Valentine's Day Challenge!



1. Be sure and log in here on Friday, January 3, 2014 to post your start weight and your goal weight for the challenge.
2. When setting your goal, keep in mind that challenge is 6 weeks long.
3. Weigh in every Friday and post your updates here.
4. Watch the data at http://sdrv.ms/JJFPls to see our progress as individuals and as a team.

GOOD LUCK!

Bea, you do so much already and are giving so much of your personal time to do these challenges you shouldn't have to spend even more time reminding us to report in. Each of us should have enough personal responsibility to weigh in and report without you having to remind us. If that is too much for us then thats on us. Thanks again Bea for all you do.

I totally agree.. I know your heart is in the right place and I totally appreciate that but it is a challenge after all and the only way to be successful at any challenge is to at least show up. If people can't remember to show up, then, I'm sorry but it's just not that important to them.

Well said Seela!!

Bea,

You are awesome! For me, I am good with NO reminder. That really is a lot of work, and like I said in the beginning, we can each put a reminder on our calendars , that is what I did.

Take care and hopefully the scale works for us all tomorrow!

Current weight - 179lb

Goal weight - 169lb

Morning everybody! Hope your weeks have all gone well and we get some good losses today!

My stats:

Start of challenge - 179lb

Week 1 weigh in - 175lb!!

4lb loss which I wasn't expecting at all! I think this will probably mean I don't lose anything next week, though!

Finally joined a gym yesterday (3 months post op - oops) and went before work yesterday. I don't know what effect the exercise will have on my weight, but I am going to try and concentrate on body composition now I think.

Happy Friday! Current weight 220.6. I'm down some but only what I picked up after the last challenge ended. Started some exercise yesterday, gotta get booty movin'!

Bea I agree with everyone else about reminders. You're instructions on the 1st post are very, VERY clear as to what to do and it's enough work to take care of all this data for everyone. You shouldn't need to remind us too! I absolutely appreciate you
