HI ALL,

The short term wt loss challenges have had great success so I want to keep them going.

This next challenge will end on Valentines Day, I know the next big holiday is Christmas but thats only a month after Thanksgiving plus I know this time of year is hard for wt loss.

SO the official start day will be 11-27-09 and the end date will be 2-14-10

I will get someone to make another spreadsheet and when that is complete please go ahead and add your info and we'll get the party started!!!!!! GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY TURKEY DAY!

Could you please add me too. I just came back from a month long vacation and I am excited to get on the band wagon again.

Thanks,

Hi all -

Just joined the challenge and updated the spreadsheet. Just banded two weeks ago on 12/3/2009. I am hoping to lose 30 lbs. by Valentine's Day.

count me in! I statred the Christmas one..but should not have b/c I didn't even have fills. Now I have two and I think I can do a little better. I am now 217.8 and want to be under 200 for Valentine's Day.

I NEED THE ACCOUNTABILITY!!!!!!!!!

GOOD LUCK!

how is the winner determined:confused:

Hi, I would like to join in also. I am only three weeks out so i don't get my first fill until Jan 5th,10. Does anyone else have the realize band? I did not choose it just left it up to my surgeon, but would like to know how well it works, i have lost 14 lbs these last three weeks. will be glad to hear from you.

Am I too late to join? I'd like to be a part of this. Pweeze, pweeze, pweeze?

Ugh I've stalled out. Gonna keep pecking away still have plenty of time to get to goal!

Am I too late to join? I'd like to be a part of this. Pweeze, pweeze, pweeze?

HAHA, well since you said pweeze! LMAO absolutely anybody can join at anytime. Just add your name to the list and GOOD LUCK!!!♥

I did! Thank you!!!:biggrin::w00t:

wieghed in yesterday, down 16lbs more! :sad: only gotta loose 14 more for the challenge!:biggrin:

Finally out of the 190"s It took long enough.4 more pounds to go .I think I might make this one.

I have 4 more pounds to go to reach it before Valentines! I am completely shocked!

whoo hoo! only 10 more to go to meet the challenge! I got this!

I am in for the Valentine's Day Challenge. This is the first time I join a challenge and feel very motivated. I have not lost any weight in a few weeks so this is the perfect challenge to get me motivated.

I am really excited about this challenge. During the Christmas challenge I lost 9lbs and for this challenge I would like to lose 12. Losing an additional 12 lbs will be 60% of my excess weight---- gone!!!

Ok, I have added myself to the speadsheet and it's time to get to work...NO EXCUSES FOR ME.
