VD is just is 45 days from 1/1/09. How much weight would you like to push yourself to lose by sweeties day. My goal will be 340 or 16 pounds. What about you? What do you want to weigh when cupid arrives?:thumbup:

hey mamanmidwife - looks like we have similar stats and i will be crying for joy at 250 on valentines day too!!

What a great idea! I'd like to join the group. My goal is to be under 200 lbs by Valentine's Day. I'm currently at 213.

I would love to join. I am aiming for a 20 pounds. That would put be at a 100 pound weight loss.

Count me in! I would like to lose 15 pounds by Valentine's Day.

Count me in. I have been on my journey for a year now, and the pounds are coming off slower. So, my goal is 10 pounds by Valentines day.. stretch would be 15 lbs...

good luck and follow those band rules....

Wow!!! Wowox7 What a difference a year makesCongrats you look terrific. Keep up the great work

For the past four days, I have the same routine, 1 hou of strenght trainging, and 1 hour of cardio. It has actually been my routine since november 2008. I also do circuit work outs 3 times a week. Gosh I hope I make it to my vday goal!!

Hi All Just checking in, Things are staying the same- which is better than my usual Pre-WLS of gaining 5 # this time of the yr. Get 1st fill, on Wednesday..:confused: Get back to strength training exer tomorrow... .:cursing:

I weighed in Wednesday. I lost 4 pounds last week! I'm so excited. It has been coming off so slow...1 pound a week so I'm thrilled for a 4 pound week!

Last week I did exactly what my surgeon says I'm suppose to do....3 meals a day with a fork, no snacking. Oh, also I didn't have any sweets! Amazing!

15 pounds is my V-Day goal.....4 gone, 11 to go!!:confused:

Happy New Year everyone! I hope that this is a wonderful year for everyone.

I am going to be joining a new ladies gym that reopened in the next town, tomorrow. Access to a gym close enough that it was feasible to drive to has been a problem. Best of luck all.

I have lost 6lbs since this challenge started. This is exactly what I needed to kick my butt into gear. Thank you all so much!

goal 18lbs...6 down...12 to go...YAY!!!

I want to do this challenge too! I am going to shoot for 3 pounds a week, so that would be at least 21 lbs putting me a beautiful new weight of--221 lbs! That would be amazing.

So here goes, this challenge will be amazing!

Karebare714 - 6 pounds that's awesome!!

I'm checking in after being away for a few days because of the holidays. I'm down 2.5 pounds and only 13.5 to goal. I'm only 4 pounds from 350 and that may still be a lot of weight but from where I started I'm feeling great. It's been a really long time since I can say I was below that and 340 is just around the corner from there.

I got my clearance today to get into some more intense exercising which I'm stoked about. I've been limited to walking and a few minutes on the eliptical. But now I'm cleared to start swing the golf clubs, throwing the heavy bowling ball again and more importantly being able to do some lifting and a more intense cardio routine. Can down begin to do sit ups crunchs and push ups as well. :tongue2:

Keep all the good efforts up and let's see how much weight we can all lose together.

Sounds like we are all doing really well towards our valentines day goals. i only am trying to weigh on mondays (i am in a self impoosed 12-step program for scale addicts!!) so won't know how i am doing but feel like i am doing well. had my first appointment with a personal trainer today and am meeting with her tomorrow too and then 3 times a week. i am SO EXCITED to get into a real routine. And it should help get me to my 15 pound valentine goal to boot! have a great weekend everyone!

I've lost 5 lbs since the challenge started. 25 to go in the next 6 weeks or so.

I'm happy to see everyones results. Good for everyone!
