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!

Hi All, I am upping my exercise and have lost 1# so far ( better than gaining like the last few weeks)

Well - the 2 WEEKS of Christmas are over. Thank goodness! The good news is that I did not gain any from my last post. The bad news is I was down 3 and now back up 3. 18 to go and 6 weeks. It makes this much more of a stretch! But, back on track today. Funny how making my mind up to eat right makes me less hungry.....if only our stomachs weren't attached to our minds.....

Hi All!

Joining in late, as I am an old bandster who is getting back into the swing of things. Have been off this site for a couple years, and as part of my committment, I'm back I remember how these challenges motiviated me before...so going to do it again! Bring on Valentines Day!

I lost about 4 pounds this week I was surprised though because stayed steady for a week and thought I was plateauing again already. So apparently what I'm doing is working! If I can keep it up, I can still make my goal.

I will check in! I lost 3 of 15 so far.

Well, droppped a little, time to get serious!!! at 220#

Just wanted to repost the link...Ive been stuck AGAIN and it sucks I wanna lost 1 more lb!! HAHA Havent been eating too well though or exercising...at least Im not gaining!!!

just keeping it on the last page

Getting back in was easier than I thought. Even with a funeral and 2 snow days with the kids. Now if I can just get these girl scout cookies out of my house without too much damage it will be smooth sailing to the smallest Valentines Day in many years!

Congrats, Jeannie

I'm on the second day of the 5 day pouch test to get my weight loss going again--down a pound since yesterday, something is working!

Please keep us posted on how this works for you...I had thought about giving that a try.

I wasn't sure that I was recorded in the spreadsheet....I was but my goal is 2 lbs lower than I remembered! Better go exercise.

Well, I have not loss any this week. Up and down those 1 lb. I am going to get a fill next Tuesday so hopefully, I have some restriction. I want to be at my sweet spot so bad because I am hungry all the time.

OK, so today is day 5 of the pouch test and, I am not following through with day 5. I've been really working out hard, and having some issues with changing my anti-depression meds (I know, TMI), and it just wasn't worth the last day, I'm sorry to let you down! I did lose three pounds though and I don't feel like snacking. I do feel as though I'm back on track and not craving sugar and carbs so that is a really good thing. I hope to keep on the weight loss track cause that 6 week plateau was pure hell!

Hi everyone! I haven't posted in a while. I have been staying steady. Been snacking like crazy. I desperately needed a fill. So I got my first fill yesterday. I am on clear liquids so I am expecting a good loss when I weigh in on Monday.
