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!

Add me please

I'm so in!

I'd love to join. I'm only 2 weeks out so my goal will be a bit of a guess.

Thanks!

I'd like to join. This is my first challenge so forgive me if I don't do somthing right.

I'm in!

I'd like to join too. I've never done a challenge before. Sounds like a great opportunity to hit the ground running in 2014 :-)

Love this, I am in!

Bea count me in for the Valentine's Day Challenge. I look forward to seeing everyone progress. Can't wait.

Hello Bea, I have my surgery Tuesday 12/31 but I would LOVE to participate, do you think that this is realistic for me?

I'm scheduled 2 days later. 1/2. So excited!!!

So cool to see so many new folks joining us this time. Here are a couple of notes, mostly about stuff we've learned over time.

1. Yes...even if you are pre-surgery or recently sleeved, by all means, join in on the fun.
2. There are not any fancy rules here, so there's not a lot you can do wrong in this group.
3. While the main activity here is reporting in weekly, we also tend to do a bit of bragging, complaining, teasing, etc. so feel free to join in on this part of the fun as well.
4. If you're not sure about the goal setting part, don't worry. It's no big deal. We've been known to modify goals mid-stream although it's usually because we become better at estimating over time. Take a shot at a goal and then don't worry about it...just watch the weight fall off as the challenge progresses...that's definitely the most fun!
5. Post questions here for the group to answer and I'm guessing someone will jump in with good advice. If they don't, simply ask again...we won't mind.
6. This is a GROUP activity and we are all equal members. I keep the stats, but often don't interact a lot (busy lifestyle and all that). There are some VERY experienced and knowledgeable people here, so again, feel free to ask questions to the group in general. Lots of knowledge here...it's definitely helped me along!

Finally, and most important...HAVE FUN with this. Meeting some new goals by Valentine's Day is really going to be nice, and I can't wait for next week so we can really get going! (Now if I could just get rid of those LAST THREE POUNDS before New Year's day!!!)

Bea

All that's why we love you Bea! Your amazing!!

please count me in!

I would like to try this too. I am a challenge virgin....be gentle.

I'm in! Thanks Bea girl!
