Valentines challenge/Goal

I thought that I would start a thread for us MERRY LOSERS. I like to set mini goals for myself (quicker gratification) keeps me going. So I would like to lose 20lbs and commit to myself to excersise for at least 40 min 4 times a week by Valentines Day .So if anyone else would like to join me with there own goals I thought that we could encourage each other through this new journey!!!!:clap2:

My goal at the moment is to get up to swimming 1km per night. While I'm up at work (mine site), that means 50 laps of the little 20m pool. So far, I did 14 laps the first night, 20 the second and 32 last night (640m). I'm going to go for the lot tonight!! I think it will be a little easier when I get home and can use the 50m pool at the local fitness centre.

Forgot to post an update - I made the 1km on the night I posted this and did it again the next night too! I went home on the following day and didn't get as much walking in as I should have, but still managed 2.5km on 3 out of the 6 days I was home. Back at site this week and made 1km in the pool for 3 nights, but got a little slack for the rest of the week. I'm heading home again today and going to aim for 6 days of walking!

hi all how are we doing. im great im down 40 pounds since surgery. my mini goal was 20 pounds down by the end of february as i posted in my first post so my first post i was down 34 lbs now im 40 lbs down so outta the 20 pound mini goal by valentines day 15 more pounds to go hopefully i can make it but if not if i atleast get it by the end of february ill be happy. hope all is well with everyone!!!!

ok...so I don't think I will make my 175 goal by Feb 19th...BUT I don't care....I am so happy with the weight I'm losing...and all the excersing I'm doing...that I just want to keep that up. If I am 180 by then I will be thrilled! It's amazing how great the exercise can make you feel!

well guys i went to doctor to get my check up im down 2 more pounds so thats 42 pounds. so thats 12 pounds til my monthly goal. i also got a 1 cc fill thank god cause i needed it. still exercising and being active around the house since im not back to work yet but i was released to go back so i go back thursday thank god cause i need out of this house. well guys hope all is well. keep up the good work

well guys i went for my second fill this past monday and im down 6 more pounds so im 6 away from my monthly goal of 20 pounds off. hope all is well with everyone

Had my first fill on Thursday...hoping it will kick in soon...not feeling much of a difference. It was under fluoro...thought I would really feel a difference. I am on soft foods...maybe it will change when I'm on regular foods tomorrow...here's hoping to some restriction!

well since my last post i was 6 away from my goal for today well i am down 3 more pounds and 50 off total. so i missed my goal by 3 pounds im not gonna complain so my next mini goal by the end of the month is 10 pounds i think i can do it!

I'm close....I gave myself till the 19th...exactly two months from surgery. My goal is 180...and I'm at 185 right now...so don't think I'm gonna make it....but I'm still psyched. I wore a pair of dress pants this week that I haven't worn in two years! That was very rewarding!!!

congrats jowjow!!! i weighed my self again. and im down to 236 58 pounds lost. hope things keep up this way!
