I was thinking of some kind of mini goal/challenge that we September Bandsters could do together. I alway see people with their mini goals and exercising and weight loss goals.

well, today being 1/14, we have exactly one month until Feb 14th - Valentine's Day!!

So Why Not Dubb it "The Sweetheart Goal"?

My Sweetheart Goal is going to be to lose 14lbs between now and Valentines Day, since Vday is on the 14th. i know it seems like alot, but if we SUPPORT each other and share tips, recipes, low cal Snacks, ETC ETC, i really think that all or most of us could hit that goal!!

ANYONE WITH ME? ANYONE UP FOR THE CHALLENGE?

:tongue:THE SWEETHEART GOAL:tongue:

READY, SET, LOSE!!!!!

WE HAVE UNTIL FEB 14TH TO LOSE 14LBS!

14LBS IN APPROX 1 MONTH! LETS DO IT!!!

Congratulations Hazeleyegrl!!!!! Whoooooo Hooooooo!!!!!

I haven't been doing so well lately. I definitely haven't been eating like I should and I have a leg injury, so I haven't been exercising either. I go for a fill tomorrow (hopefully they will give me one), so maybe that will help. The scales keep going up and down, I lose and gain the same few pounds, so I hope I will make my goal, but I don't know. Even if I don't, I'm still proud of the weight I have lost.

OK - 2 lbs to my mini goal of 7lbs, (I came in late on this one).

I would definitely be up for a St. Paddy's Day Challenge, good idea Kimmie !!! Shall we set up a new thread after Valentines Day ? I have a function to go to on the 15th, I would love to knock off a few lbs before then !!!!!

I know we still have 2 days... but NICE JOB EVERYONE !!!!

How about a St. Patty's day challenge? I like the month long challenges! :mad:

Sounds good to me, St. Patty's Day and Easter are about a week apart, so it doesn't make a difference to me which one we use. I'm up for anything!

[quote name='hazeleyegrl1;719880

ALSO' date=' SINCE GOAL TIME IS NEARING, SHOULD WE BE CONSIDERING HOW WE'RE GOING TO DO THE EASTER CHALLENGE? HOW MANY DAYS BETWEEN VALENTINES AND EASTER? HOW MUCH WEIGHT SHOULD THE GOAL BE? ETC????? SOMEONE WANNA THINK ABOUT STARTING A NEW THREAD FOR THE NEW EASTER/SPRING CHALLENGE??? [/i']

Okay, if no one else wants to take on the next challenge, I will. I agree with Kimmie, I think St. Patricks Day would be closer to a one month challenge. I have some really great ideas for this challenge, so if ya'll don't mind, I'll take this one on and someone else can pick up the next one! We can do some sort of rotation or something!

It's all you girl...my creative brain is on vacation :mad: lol

A St. Patty's Day Challenge sounds AWESOME!!

do you think you could go ahead and set up the thread for the St Patty's Day thing so that way maybe more people will have time to decide to get involved? I don't see any harm in just preparing the way, but not officially starting it until Feb 15th or so. Just an idea, but by all means, I think its great if different people get involved with planning the challenges/goals! Diversity maybe the key that we all need, I know that different things will work better for some then others, so its great that we have different creative minds putting together stuff! I'm excited about the next challenge/goal!

AND...for those of you still working on the "Sweetheart Goal", DO NOT GIVE UP!!! It can be done, and its just a "goal" so even if you do not make it, you are still better off then where you started out a month ago! KEEP up the Losing!

xoxo, Christie

Yes, I am working on all the details and I will try to post the challenge in the morning. I am really excited about it. I just got a fill today and I am hoping that it will help me get back on track.

I'm still working on the Sweetheart Goal. I really hope I make it!

you can do it! you only have 3lbs to go and still have 2 full days!!! thats only 1.5 a day and make sure you weigh in the MORNINGS and NAKED! lol...i even take off my jewelry.... clothes and especially shoes weigh alot more then you would think!!!

YOU CAN DO IT GIRL!!! i have seen your weight going down over the past month and i have confidence in you! Put your mind to it and stick to it and you'll meet this goal!

xoxo, Christie

Go for it Georgia ! Thanks for posting the new challenge, this one I will be focused for ! I go for a fill tonight - #3 - he does 1 cc at a time (SIGH) I suppose it's good that way but I have no patience.

I am so glad I found this thread, I have been kind'of down on myself at the slow progress, I am hoping this fill will kick things up a bit. Also I need to get my ars back to the gym.

Thank-you all for the challenge and the inspiration !!!

Woo Hoo !

Okay, guys..........the scales are up 2 lbs :smile:. I had a terrible week last week and I am paying for it. I did get a fill yesterday, so I'm hoping it will help. I don't think I am going to make my goal, but I am on liquids for another day so maybe I will at least get back down to 264. Anyway, I'm still better off than I was when I started. I went ahead and posted my stats on the St. Patty's Day challenge thread. I am definitely going to stay more focused this time.

I made my goal! I can't believe it! On New Years, I was 251. This morning, I weighed in at 235! I have NEVER been below 240 in my entire adult life. AND, to top it off, I forgot my jackets in my car last night (when I carpooled with DH), and I live in the mountains where it's cold. DH gave me one of his jackets...and it fit PERFECTLY! I told him he may never get it back!

This is amazing!

WAY TO GO JENNIE1976!!!!!!!! Congrats on making your goal!

xoxo, Christie

Well, guys.........I didn't make it :mad:

I'm still at 266, so maybe I will have better luck with the next one.

CONGRATULATIONS JEANNIE!!!!!
