ok this the thing. Someone did a weightloss chanellenge for xmas i miss that one would have loved to do it. When i saw it i thought what a great idea (thanks Fluffy Jen) i would love to start a chanellenge for Valentine's Day I want to lose abt 40lbs by then that would get me out the 200+ lbs weight and help me stay motivated to lose this weigth if i had sum others doing with me. my husband is deployed and coming home this spring or summer for 2wks, i really would love to have been lost almost everything i need to lose by the time he makes it here. Is there anyone interested in doing this with me we can keep each other on the right track. Right now im weighing in @ 227 with the challenge that would weight me in @187 by Valentine Day.:thumbup: i'm so excited i have seen 100 anything on the scale for me in yrs.

Count me in. I had to drop out of the xmas WLC, but I'm ready for this one.

So can we start the challenge on the first of the year? I need to start the new year out right. Someone let me know and I will post my weight.

@ babertm, lingra and skinnygirl welcome to the VWC it not to late to start, i would love for as many ppl to do this with me as possible, i really want to lose this weight. we have been checking in on mondays as far as weight, but feel free to come through the wk too just write and say how u did for that day or whatever. @ skinnygirl i do understand where u are coming from with wanting to wait until the new yr and thats fine i think i myself, maybe eatting a lil much for xmas, well as much as i can handle anyway lol. but any tips or anything u guys want ot share will be great. i try to walk every day at lease a mile sum times i run sum. and im eatting bake chicken and a lot of salads. if i can cut my late nite snacking out i will be doing great. "off we go"

i would love to be at 199 by feb 15th which is my 43rd bday - i am down 115 pounds from my highest and still have 85 to go to get to my goal. i was banded in april and am down close to 90 since banding.

I want to be in this too. I was/am in the christmas one but my thyroid levels have been off and the put me back on my thyroid meds. they siad it would take one to two month for the meds to start working agian, So anyway it sould be good for this challenge. I am at 212 and would love to lose twenty five pounds by v-day.. good luck to everyone...

Okay, I forgot to post last week had to much going on. I lost .5 last week and 1.8 this week. That puts me at a total of 3 since we started so I have 17 more to go with the challenge I set for myself. I'm now at 207... I can't wait to be under 200... I know it will come.

Hope you all had a great Christmas!

I would love to join in. I'am currently 206lbs and am due for my first fill on January 13th. Lately I have been feeling sort of lost and this is just what I need to get refocused.:thumbup:

I would like to join in. I haven't weighed in a while, but I'd like to be under 300 by Valentines Day.

And if you need help with a spreadsheet or whatever you'd like to use to keep track, I would be happy to help, I use Excel all day at work.

I will update later with a starting weight and my plan, which is still to be determined.

I missed last Monday, but would still like in on this challenge. My starting as of today is 222. I would like to be under 200 by Valentine's day, not sure if it will happen, but if I lose at least 10-15, I will still be happy.

Happy Holidays everyone :thumbup:

Sorry to say I did not lose anything this week, but my husband and I got a treadmill for our Christmas gift and I started using it on the 26th. I will check in next week

hello all, sorry but last wk i didnt get a chance to check in nor visit the site at all, i was still out of town for the holidays and my moms computer was not working. ok, so i sorta new i was gonna eat and all ova the holidays but man i did bad. i gained like a pounded and a half, only because i was eatting bad and i knew it i didnt walk or anything, the only good thing is i have lost the pound and a half back when i got on the scale this morning im back at 223, which just put me and the same place i was 2 wks ago :blushing:(((( i have got to really bust my butt and do better now. i go for another fill tomoro im looking forwardto that hopefully it will help me. how are u guys doing?? anyone did good ova the holidays?? @ dbeers i need one of those, i go to the gym and walk everday (besides last wk) would be nice to have one in my house, i have been thinking abt getting a ab circle pro.

I lost 1.1 this week. That puts me at a total of 4.1 since we started so I have 15.9 more to go with the challenge I set for myself. I'm now at 205.9. It is great to see everyone providing their updates... it is really encouraging. I know we can all do this and the support really helps!

OMG... I had my first gain since I started this process. It is a little one and I know I wasn't good over the weekend as we were out of town but I'm not happy about it.

I gained .2 this week. That puts me at a total of 3.9 since we started so I have 16.1 more to go with the challenge I set for myself. I'm now at 206.1.

I really need to get back on track and watch what I eat when I'm out of town. I didn't get any exercise in over the weekend and didn't come close to having enough Water to drink.

Today is a new day and I've started off good with going to the gym this morning. This will be a better week!

man this is getting hard or im focusing on trying to loss to quickly:confused:. i feel like im on a stand still, i'm at 221.6 im losing but it seems so slow, as to when i started weight was just falling off. i dont feel as if im going to make my goal of being 187 lbs by v-day. i gotta start going to work out everyday to try harder i know half my problem but sum days get a lil harder than others. hope u all are doing good.

I didn't lose anything this past week. I will start walking again tomorrow. I need the physical activity. Hope to do better this week. Still holding at 203 lbs. My goal is to lose 15 lbs.
