I just started MFP yesterday. I'm 31yrs old, 5'2 & 155 lbs. My goal is to lose 2 lbs per week so I want to lose 10lbs & be down to 145 by Valentines. What about you?

    17 years old, 5'9, 200 pounds. I want to lose 2 or 3 pounds a week and hopefully be down to 190 or so by Valentine's day. After that, only 15 more pounds to get back to what I had before this past summer of lethargy....bleh.

    Hi there! 27 year old mom of two little boys who are 3 and 1 year old. I'm 5'5" and 168 with a goal weight of 150. Hoping to be down to 158 for Valentine's Day (and for our winter vacation to Florida the week after). I've been doing Medifast and running my *kitten* off. 19lbs gone so far!

    What are your strategies? Counting calories? Specific exercise regimens?

    Thanks for creating the challenge, @katherinesfitness!

    Hey y'all! I'm 23 and 5'5", i currently weigh 145. I'd love to weigh 135 by valentines day but realistically i think 140 is more reasonable for me. To achieve my goal i plan to exercise 4-6 days a week and stay within my calorie goals.

    I'm so glad there is a valentines day challenge! Everyone in this group can feel free to add me as a friend as well.

    Oh wow! You guys already found this!! Awesome :))) I thought we'd just weigh in on Sundays and try to lose 9 lb's before V'day!! A bunch of us did this for the Christmas period and it was awesome so I thought it would be good to do again :DD
    What do you think?

    Hi guys,

    I am 25 and 156lbs (post all the wedding feasting at my big fat Indian wedding late last year). I am aiming to lose 1-2 lbs per week so that I can be 145 or thereabouts by valentines day. Really need to ramp up that exercising!

    Hi all, Im 45 n currently weigh 136 pds, I joined mfp in nov 11, I had already lost over 1 stone in a year on ww diet and was a bit bored with the meetings, so tought i'd give this a go to lose the final stone. I would love to see 130 by Valentines but will now aim for the 127. What I really need is a kick up d butt to get me moving as I have every excuse as to why I cant, "Kids, Time, Tired, Too dark in the evening (n d morning) etc etc". I'm sure u get the picture. I think this is a great chalange as you dont feel so alone in your struggle and the goal is in sight rather than pushed to the back of ur head. Will weigh in Sun as well. thanks.

    Hi all, I'm a 21 year old fashion student currently weighing 145lbs and I'm 5ft9 and I want to lose a stone! Realistically I'd like to lose 6-9lbs before valentines day!

    I'm currently doing Jillian Micheals 30 day shred and am on L1D3! I've already lost a lb but it's probably just water so I'm not getting to excited! You can watch the DVD free on YouTube but I managed to pick one up for £4! Would love it if some of you joined me and did it too so we can all moan about it together..

    Will weigh in again on Sunday

    I do not know my exact weight, but I do want my jeans to be on the loose rather than tight side, would love to be able to wear anything I fancied without worrying about my stomach hanging out, and want to have more energy. I am a 47 year old Mym of 2 who put weight on when she had children, and has been unable to say goodbye to it, but I have now had enough!

    Hi Im Lynn, 51 and 147llbs, I really welcome some extra incentive, Im in the menopause and finding it difficult to shift size / weight. I've started going to circuits (about 7 weeks ago) so fitness is increasing and now I need to bring in food awareness and being sensible with what I eat. Good luck to us all ! x

    Hi All!
    I'm 5'4, 180 lbs and I've been using MFP for about a week now! The Valentines Day Challenge sounds like a great idea... 10 lbs, 5 weeks @ 2 lbs per week for a result of a 170 lbs reading on my scale!!!! Keep the goals small and realistic is what I keep telling myself! So ladies eat small, play hard and have fun!!! Good luck to us all!

    Hi, I'm 43 and ust under 5'3" and starting weight (Tuesday this week) was 146 lb / 66 kilos. I used to be 54/55 kilos but I think realistically those days are long gone - I've slowly but steadily put on weight over the last 6 years, but have now finally been terrified into doing something about it as I apparently have to get into a bikini in Ibiza in July this year for a friend's birthday! :frown:

    Dream Goal Weight is 56 kilos (123 lbs) although I think perhaps I'm being optimistic here!

    So, according to Valentines Day Goal : my target will be 137 lbs / 62 kilos.

    I'm going to be trying the keto diet.

    Good luck everyone!

    I'm in! I've been a member of MFP for a while and keep falling off the band wagon. This challenge should be exactly what I need to stay on track. This time around I've decided to start fresh and actually utilize the groups and other functions the site has to offer. It's time for some drastic changes and I'm ready and willing.
