Valentines Goal: 146.0 lbs
Overall Goal: 138.0 lbs

So I'm thinking my Valentine's Day goal is a little ambitious so I adjusted it. Slow and steady wins the race so I'm happy :-) Hopefully by next week I'll be in the 140s and that will definitely be exciting!!

I gained another .8 this week. Its seems like about half of us having trouble losing and I really want us all to step it up in the last 3 weeks before it ends and finish strong. I know it's a little late but since I'm stuck in bed bored out of my mind for the next 2 days because of strep throat, I'm made a progress spreadsheet hoping it'll help get me in gear for the last third of the challenge and hopefully some of the rest of you too! I basic just counted week 1 as the starting weight for the challenge, so if you joined during a later week your beginning number goes all the way back to the official week 1. For simplicity, everyone is listed in alphabetical order by their screen name and those who haven't weighed in in over 3 weeks are not included (although if they do weigh-in I can add them at any time). Also, I think it'd be a great idea to add each other as friends so we can really encourage each other from here on out!!!

Hi everyone, I'm Jamiesha and I'm 23 years old. i've only just found this forum so i'm definitely not going to reach my whole goal of losing 14lbs by Valentines day but I think I can reach at least half of that in time to look good on the dreaded day! So far i've lost maybe 2 or 3 lbs since starting my health kick and I genuinely feel better for it, more able to get up in the mornings and survive a long day in the office etc.

So I am currently 130 lbs and I want to get to 116 lbs as i'm a very short 5'1" (or 5'1.5" as I like to think of myself!) and it will still be a healthy weight range.

I started last week...

Valentines Day Goal: 116 (-14)
Week 1: 133
Week 2: 130
Week 3:
Week 4:

Post-Valentines Day goal!!! :

Week 5:
Week 6:
Week 7:

If i'm consistent then hopefully by week 7 i'll have done it and changed my lifestyle for good!

VBos

mirahonthawall

KatySteele

Hi group! Obviously it is way too close for me to jump on the wagon to try and lose mega weight before Valentines Day! This Message board looks great! I love the updates and how someone took the time to put together a chart! Excellent job moving toward your goal "group"---- I would definitley be interested in participating in the next challenge. Hopefully after Valentines Day there is a new Holiday to reach!

I know it's late but I would like to join...I am going on a Valentine's day trip with the hubby and would love to lose about 8 more lbs. by then. I've already been tracking my weight loss. Really I'm just dying to see those 160's again. I was seeing them before we went on a Disney World trip and ate everything in site.

I started at the beginning of Jan.
1/1-180
1/8-177
1/15-175
1/22-176 (was sick this week...just ate everything that I could to get better)
1/29-173.4
Goal Weight >>>>>>>165 or at least 168 by Valentine's day<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

eleanoreb

I worked out less this week but also ate less because i was sick. I think some of the weight loss might be muscle (so i may gain it back this week)

Bought a new scale so I was actaully 3 pounds heavier....now I'm back to 177 (on the new scale this time), but that was from me being sick not from working out....hopefully I'll feel better soon and get back to work

MegJo

Gained about pound. I Had a rough week I'll be having my TOM later this week and into the weigh in next week - so I don't think I'll be making my goal. I'm also getting sick so depending on how bad this cold gets well determine how much I'm able to work out - but I'm going to keep truckin' along!!!!
