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!

I would love to join the Valentine challenge. I need all the motivation I can get.

Joining today......

Hi All! I just joined today. Need that extra push so I can keep motivated AND wear something flirty and fun for the big V-DAY (which is, more importantly, my DH's birthday!)

i added myself on...need to get back on track after the baby!! i love these threads, keep me motivated:biggrin:

Hi ALl, i need a kick in the rear. since Turkey Day have gained 8 #:smile:, and had gall bladder surgery. just want to get back on track!!!

look at your babyyyy! So cute! Congrats!

thanks!! :smile: if i wouldn't have lost weight, i don't think we could have gotten pregnant!

Just added myself after I found this one (still working on the New Year's challenge... .5 to go!). Thanks!:smile:

Hi everyone... just updated the spreadsheet. I lost 1.6 lbs this week!!!

I am getting disappointed in myself. I am up 2 pounds or so and I have every excuse in the book. I am now going to purge those excuses and lay them on the line because I'm getting tired of them swimming around in my head and I'm hoping you'll help me be accountable...

• I'm eating things I shouldn't because:I'm just finishing my period, it's the holidays, one piece of pumpkin gooey butter cake with whipped cream won't hurt (once a day for four days...)
  
• I'm not working out because: it's the holidays and I'm home with the kids, it's freezing outside, the inside walking track is closed until the 4th
  

And here's what I should be saying: Eat normally! Don't pig out or eat a lot of things you shouldn't just because it's the holidays! Quit making excuses you lazy butt! Crack open your brand new Wii Fit and get rolling!

SO, I went shopping the clearance racks yesterday and "bought" some motivation. We're going to Jamaica from March 6-11 for our 10 year anniversary and I want to lose 20-25 pounds by then. Talk about a challenge--but those clothes hanging in my closet should help get me off my duff.

OK, I've laid it out there. It feels good. Now, I start over with a better day today, and tomorrow, and the next day. AND, I'm going downstairs right now to throw away all the crap in this house! Here I go!

ETA: Well, the pumpkin gooey butter cake is down the sink along with Candy Cane Joe Joe's cookies and my mom's pecan balls. I put it in the trash and took it back out and put it in the garbage disposal. Deep cleansing breath. That was HARD. All the other stuff we have I do not care about. The kids have pretzels and other cookies that I don't look twice at. If they miss the stuff I pitched, too bad! They should have eaten them quicker!

I'm a little late to the party but I'm in! I did the Labor Day challenge but failed horribly...I just got a fill and I'm cruising along now. I'm more motivated this time around and I would love to set another goal. Since this started around Thanksgiving I'm going to use my weight from then as the starting (I didn't lose anything for months until last week anyway).

I would like to join the challenge also. I added myself to the spreadsheet. I have tried to do a couple of the challenges before but I wasnt very successful with checking in bc I was in nursing school at the time...now I have completed the program and have no excuses so I hope to lose 20lbs by Valentines Day! Thanks for the challenge everyone!
