Interesting week in the Valentine's Day Challenge!

• As a group, we have lost a total of 486 lbs in the two weeks of the challenge. Wow! That's a LOT!
• With 96 people reporting in so far, our average loss for the week is 1.9 lbs
• Out of those 96, 29 people (30%) reported a loss this week of 3 lbs or more
• Out of the 96, 6 people reported a loss this week of 5 lbs or more
• This week's border crossings:
  • bearman99 moved into the 280s
  • Nurse B moved into the 250s
  • Coachdk, Eyedbrown, and Ree moved into the 230s
  • Cathysleever, gomekast, Jen GA Peach, and VSG AJH moved into the 210s
  • Healthier2day1227, tami j, Beach Lover, LisaDM, and SarahB928 moved into the 200s
  • Mkak moved into ONEDERLAND!
  • HumorMe00 moved into the 190s
  • Lorie77 moved into the 160s
  • Chellemetime moved into the 140s

So sorry if you crossed a border and I missed you, but a HUGE congrats to these folks and their progress!

Heads up about the next two weeks...

I am preparing to leave the country on Friday (24th) for just a few days. I'm headed from Houston, TX (USA) to Doha, Qatar (next to Saudi Arabia) to present at a conference there. I am so very excited but still have a lot to do to prepare.

I tell you this to let you know that I may be slow to respond for the next weigh-in, but will easily be able to catch up when I return the next week. Just thought I'd let you know to be patient with the postings/responses over this period. We're making some incredible progress and I have no intention of jumping ship. I really don't think I would be working so hard without this challenge to motivate me, hold me accountable, and help me stay on track. Thanks to all for this crazy, fun group and our journey together!

Um don't beat me up lol but is it too late to join in on this? I realize I won't have as much time as everyone else but I am just getting back on track and really think this will help me get there.
