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 have really enjoyed this challenge. I did not meet my goal of 180 (missed it by 5 lbs) but I did lose 12 lbs in about 8 weeks.

I am pleased with the weightloss and look forward to the next challenge....Good luck!!!

Hi All, When is th next challenge? I am waffling aro=ound 220# but have had surgery and hte weather hasn't cooperated. I may yet lose a 1-2 # but I need to keep on trying

Whats another good holiday thats about 2 months from now???----How about Cindo de mayo??? I think somebody did that one last year?!

I made my goal! I lost 15!!

I made my goal! I lost 15!!

Great Job!!!!

I will not make my goal. But, I am working on my mental block of not getting down on myself. I set a pretty stretch goal. I am at a strange place right now. I have never lost more than 40 lbs before starting the upswing to a higher weight. I think another challenge would be great to help me bust thru this mental block.

Cinco de Mayo or Mother's day would be good.

Well, I wont' be making my goal. I had a pretty aggressive one of 30 lbs. given I just got banded in December (3rd) and am still working through Bandster Hell.

Anyway, I did lose 17 lbs in the challenge and hope to increase that before Valentine's Day. Hopefully once I am feeling restriction, I will be able to drop the rest of the weight I wanted to lose for this challenge - and more!

Well, my scale hasn't budged since August :thumbup:. I've been through some stress at home, and work, , had surgery, and now exercise is slow. Need a new goal ASAP. tehre s always Memorial DAY at the end of May :thumbup:,or April 15th for deadlines.:tt2:..

I'm two pounds away from goal...it is possible to make it, but it'll be a close call! I haven't hit a goal yet, so I'll be thrilled if I pull this one out in the end!

Well my last pound took 2 wks to lose, but I DID IT!

I HAVE REACHED MY VALENTINES GOAL TODAY! whoooohooo!

I did it my first goal met I wiegh 184.8 yipee

I was able to lose an additional 2 lbs ths week. I didn't make my goal but I was only 3 lbs away....

On to my next challenge!

I reached my goal the first time hip hip hooray!

Next challenge here I come!

BOO- didnt reach my goal...whats next?

Congrats to everyone who made her goal and kudos to all of the rest of us who made progress. Looking forward to the next challenge.
