Sexy for Valentine's (wink wink)

pkgirrl

Sooo.. a roomate and I were pilfering through LaSenza today, and as always, the underwear was ADORABLE, and it looked AMAZING on all of the models in the posters, and as badly as I wanted it, I knew I just feel bad about spending the money, because I don't need more regular underwear, and I kind of think of lingerie as more of a treat.

So here's my goal, and my promise to myself. I will be under 130lbs by Valentines day. (about 16-17 to lose)
I will also start taking better care of my skin, (drinking more water, cutting out excess sugar and grease)

If I can do this, I'm going to get a spray tan (I've always wanted one, just a light one, they supposedly do a stellar job of covering stretch marks) and treat myself to a 100$ shopping spree at LaSenza.

(who knows, maybe my boyfriend will even chip in a few bucks when I tell him what it's for =p)


Anybody else in? Let's reward ourselves, we deserve it

I'm in! :bigsmile:

I want to be about 140 by Valentine's Day. I was down to 140 already a few months ago, but long story short, I put it back on. :grumble:

I hope to be to my goal weight right around St. Patrick's Day

I am in too! Today is me 1 year wedding anniversary! I am 1 lb heavier than in my wedding but not too bad! I gained 6 but caught myself before it go too high and have started loosing!

I may need some push around the holidays ladies!
Currently: 141
Goal: 130
I havn't been below 135 since jr year of high school...

blondeambition

I'm up for the challenge. I would like to be down to 140 by V-Day. I haven't had the confidence to wear anything sexy since mid-June before my job got stressful and I let the excercise and diet go. I need to lose about 27 pounds to make it, but I think I can do it.
So far this week I am down 7 pounds and I didnt go over my calories on Turkey day so I'm feeling strong.

curvykatie

well, i weighed in this morning, so my SW will be 147.6, so seeing as it is about 11 weeks till valentines my goal weight will be 137lbs

pkgirrl

That's awesome everyone! I don't have a scale, but last time I was home I weighed about 147, and my clothes have gotten a little looser since. I'm hoping to get a little spare cash for Christmas, and then MAYBE I'll buy a scale, but not having one around has really helped me keep on track, because I can't get upset about a little sodium bloat or "that time of month" or whatever lol.

What's everyone planning on doing? Like exercise+deficit wise?

iRun4wine

My starting weight is 152.6 (as of my last weigh in).
My goal by Valentine's day is 140.

I'm about 5'7" tall. I eat 1450 calories a day, and more if I earn exercise calories. I run 3 days a week and burn anywhere from 275 to 500 calories, but I'm increasing my distance (and calories burned) every day! I also need to start doing more strength training- abs, arms, and back work.

Will we have challenges, or just check in? Just curious, that's all

I would like to join this challange, I would like to suprise my hubyy with some cute stuff on valentine's day ( we were just talking about that last night)

I am 30 in central Alabama I am 5 ft 8 in and currently weigh 160, I am hoping to be around 145-150 for valentine's day. I think weekly challanges would be a great idea. Just let me know :drinker:

smadag1

OK today is my weigh in day and I have not changed,but I can feel my body changing. Does anyone have any ideas for this weeks challange. How about 30 minutes 5 times this week for a workout challange. Any workout you want to do for a minumum of 30 minutes at least 5 times this week.

Great idea! February 18th is my 90-day mark, so I planned on weighing in then anyways. Why not do it a few days sooner???

Current Weight: 159.4
Goal Weight by V-Day: 150 Pounds (though if I keep up at my current rate, hopefully I can make it as low as 140. We'll see....)

I m in for 14 by valentines. I wanted 15 by xmas but only lost 7 so this time I'm going to cut out sugars, cheese and drink more
Right now I'm 187 - I'll switch my weigh in to Thursdays. Any advice or tips would be great.

This is a great idea! I don't have a boyfriend but surely losing the pounds might get me a new one in time for Valentines
Count me in! Good luck!

cc_campbell81

Do you all want to do weekly weigh ins? I also like the earlier suggestions of weekly challenges. What does everyone else think?

smadag1

I am down 1 pound from last week. This breaks a plateau I have been on for months

Taradise

Hey there ... I'm a bit late but I wanted to join. My wedding anniversary is on Valentines day and that is definitely a goal date for me. We have a cruise scheduled...So I need the motivation... bikini season came early!

I am hoping to lose 6 pounds by Valentine's Day.

cc_campbell81

Welcome Taradise!

Smadag1- congrats on breaking your plateau!

Taradise

My start weight is 130.

Fayegill

Hey
How is everyone doing. I weighed in at 184 so that's 3lbs lost! Just 11 more till valentines.
Just a general question but how many calories do most of you consume and burn each day.
I've notice my weight loss is slow, so I'm curious to get it going.

Taradise

My cals are set to 1200. But I try to workout so I can have 1300-1400. My weight loss has been slow recently, I'm getting myself back into a groove after the holidays.

mrsbeck

Hey, this thread's gotten quiet! How is everyone? I weighed in on Sunday at 184.5...which means 1.5 pounds to go to meet my Valentine's goal of 183!!! :drinker: :bigsmile:

In answer to the calorie question above, I'm at 1400. I average 1200-1300 on non-workout days. Depending on my workout, I burn 300-500 cals on a workout day. I usually eat most of those calories. I try to stay 100-200 calories below my goal on a given day, just in case I've measured something wrong, or nibbled something during the day that I forgot about.
