ExTReme and SeXy Valentine Challenge

amandal15

I'll join! I'm 35, mother of 4, and an accountant.

I weighed in today at 145.4. My goal is to be 125 by June 8th...so, I'd be happy with 141 (trying to lose a pound a week). And am doing the 30 day shred.

Daily Goals:
Only 1 diet coke a day.
Drinking 8 glasses of water
And keep on trucking it with the 30 ds!

TNT1121

Count me in! I haven't tried a challenge on here yet, so I'll give it a go. I'm not married but have a great boyfriend of 6 months. I started losing weight last year out of my competitive spirit....a friend started a "Biggest Loser" challenge with a group of people and I wanted to win! I am down 27 pounds so far and have another 25 pounds to my goal weight. If I can stick with this Valentine's Day Challenge, I will be down to the teens in my pounds to go category :happy: My biggest challenge within this challenge will be not gaining after flying out to Wisconsin to attend the Packers game this weekend....that's a lot of beer and cheese tempting me!

Starting Weight: 152.1 lbs (as of 1/11/12)
Goal Weight by V-day: 144.1
How I'll get there:
-Tracking calories EVERY DAY (I have troubles with the weekends sometimes)
-Drink 65 ounces of water every day (again, troubles with the weekends)
-Aerobics exercise 3x per week
-Walking at least 1/2 hour 3x per week

I'm in on the Late Night Snacking challenge. My cut-off time is 8:30pm also.

This is such a good c=mini-challenge because I find that I have no problem staying under my calorie goals until the nocturnal food monkey starts going... Yesterday I ended dinner well a little more than 100 cals under my 1300cal goal and was so proud of myself, but somehow during studying I managed to rack up over 200cal from snacking. So starting tonight 8:30pm is the cap on eating- I'm pushing that complete entry button every night from now on.

jtoller

I'm in. I am a 44 and on the last leg of my weight lose. I leave for Mexico the week the Sat. after Valentines and I want to lose 8 lbs before then.

My name is Stephanie. I'm a mother of 2 beautiful girls ages 3 and 6. I am married to a wonderful man who is always there to help me with my ups AND downs. (Even if he WAS the cause of my down) He is in the military and works an hour and a half away Monday- Friday so I don't see him as much as I'd like. I want to slowly improve myself to be able to run around with my kids and enjoy life. I feel like now is the time to improve my life in a positive way.

Drink 8 glasses of water a day
Eat 4-5 small portioned meals a day
Get off my computer and turn off the TV and play with my kids at least 3 hours a day

Hi Stephanie

One good side of your hubby being away so much is all of the time you will have to work on you and surprise him when he does see you. Sometimes I wish my hubby would go away for about 2 weeks so I could REALLY work on surprising him.

Welcome! I know you can do this!

I;ve just turned 53, am a bagpiper and wannabe Alpine Yodeler :yawn: Living in GA with the hubby. Recovering from the 2011 year of surgeries (torn ankle tendon& stretched ligament--emergency gall bladder) & illness (erythema nodosum) causing to be bed-bound for about 3 months of the year. Am now able to do some exercise ! :bigsmile:
I'm in...will weigh in Friday, but posting as of today:

If everyone would prefer this to be a group I can TRY to start one and then just have Shelle68 be in charge of it. Let me know and then I can post the group name here for everyone to find easily.

This would be fine with me. I just want to make sure everyone can find the group. It took me awhile to figure out how to get to them. Thanks for the offer!
