Hello!
My name is Nicole and I have been looking to find a challenge to join but they all seem to have a million members and have already started SOOO I decided to start my own! I am 22 years old and about 160 lbs. I am trying to lose a pound to 2 pounds a week and my end goal is to be under 140. I figured that Valentines Day is a solid ending point, 8 weeks away, not too far to get discouraged but far enough to see some good numbers! And I need a little extra motivation the next two weeks due to Christmas/New Years!
So here is what I was thinking, reply to this with your name, age, how many pounds you are looking to lose per week and your end goal (and obviously anything else you feel inclined to share!) You can weigh in any day of the week (I am going to use Monday since February 14th is a Monday). Just copy and paste the list below each week when you weigh in.
Valentine's Day goal:
Week 1 (12/20) -
Week 2 (12/27) -
Week 3 (1/3) -
Week 4 (1/10) -
Week 5 (1/17) -
Week 6 (1/24) -
Week 7 (1/31) -
Week 8 (2/7) -
Week 9 and END (2/14) -
Feel free to add me as a friend! Best of luck!

oohhh me! I want to join!
I am 27 and I also have about 20 pounds to lose (maybe more - but that is my first goal). I am going to aim for almost my goal by Valentines day - 70 kilos (I weigh 78 right now). That would be AMAZING.

I also love your mini goal idea! Mine are:
1. Under 78 = manicure/pedicure
2. Under 75 = new workout outfit
3. Under 72 = spa day at the sauna
4. Under 70 = fancy lingerie (hey, it is Valentines day!!)0 -
Hey Nicole, I would love to join this challenge. I am in a December challenge but I am already thinking what I am going to do to keep me motivated beyond this.
I want to lose 2 lbs per week but realistically I am not expecting to lose over Christmas and New Year. I would be quite happy to stay the same at this time.
My name is Beth and I am 28 and 5'2". I weigh 159.5 ish now and I hope to get to 144 by Valentines Day. My ultimate goal is 120.
I am going to weigh in on a Monday. Feel free to add me as a friend!0 -
I've never done a challenge before but I'm interested in trying it! I'm 25 and weigh 145.5 pounds. My goal is 130 by the time my husband gets home from deployment (roughly May) but earlier is better. I started at 161.5.
Valentine's Day goal: 130

I too love the mini goal reward idea so I decided to do a few for myself:
1. Under 140 = Manicure...haven't had one in over a year!
2. Under 135 = Massage? Facial? Something pampery that I wouldn't normally treat myself to.
3. Under 130 = Finish current tattoo-in-progress. YES!!!!!0 -

My goal: Right now I'm 175 (well as of last Mon.) so my goal will be 165 by V-day, so 1.5-2 lbs per week. Before that I'm going to have to change my ticker (it ends at 169).0 -
Hi everyone!! My name is Gaby. I've lost 30 lbs so far, but I'm having some challenges with the last leg of the race. I'm also part of another v-day challenge, but I figure the more the merrier to make sure I stay accountable and reach my goal. Plus, I hope I can bring encouragement to others as well.
Current weight: 175 lbs (I'm 6 feet tall)
Valentine's Day goal: 160 to 165 (would love the 160, but I would be happy to reach 165)

I've never done a challenge before either! I've been afraid to set weight goals because, like most people, I've failed at loosing weight a lot over the course of my life! But, with the help of MFP and doing zumba I'm down 13lbs! So, I think its safe to say it is for real this time I have a lot more weight to loose but I'm going to try to be realistic and shoot for 10lbs by V-day. I hope this post stays alive! I'd love to chat with people on a day to day basis and encourage eachother throughout the week.
I live on the east coast and work 3rd shift - so my posts will be late unless you live on the west coast
Work hard everyone!
Valentine's Day goal: 10lbs less - currently 218lbs (will set my offical goal on Monday when I get my new current weight)
