Hi everyone! Thought I'd kick this off, and I hope our loving creator doesn't mind!! :)

I'm Angela, from Lansing, Michigan, and I'm a foodaholic. ;)

All joking aside, I love the idea of a little goal such as this to get us motivated and going. Six pounds sounds so DOABLE...much better than the 118+ I'm looking to lose total!

Let's get it going!

    Hello!

    So funny that we posted topics at the same time! Great minds most definitely think alike!

    I picked a do able goal like this because I think so many people get disheartened by picking a huge goal and never reaching it! If some people don't lose 6lbs, well that's ok because we all lose weight at different rates!

    So glad you joined the group!

    Hi everyone, I'm Sam :)

    It's so nice to have something to look forward to for Valentines, and all you lovely people to share it with! (I have a history of disappointing, or down right disasterous, Valentines day's). Good luck everyone, 6 lbs is totally do-able with all this support xxx

    Curtis from Texas here. Glad to be here.

    I've been struggling the past week. I know what I need to do, but have been falling short in the "doing it" (heehee) department. This group is just what I need to kickstart things.

    I'm Kyla from OK. I have gained 4lbs since I started watching what I eat, counting calories & exercising. I want all 6lbs totally gone by valentines. My best motivation is my daughter & getting healthy.

    I'm Jen and I'm from Orlando, FL.

    I just recently got back into actively trying to lose weight, so this is a great motivator.

    Hi, my name is Ashley, from NC, and I'm tired of having a date with Ben 'N Jerry on Valentines day.

    I thought this was a fun challenge because it is doable and a short-term goal...much less stressful then my long term goal (100 lbs to lose)

    I'm working out at Curves for Women and trying to stay at 1200 calories/day. I really want to see these results!

    Also, my 21st birthday is in August and I want to look FABULOUS for my party.

    Hello, I'm Paige.

    6 lbs will officially make me pre pregnancy weight, a goal that has alluded me for the last 4 years now! It's amazing to me to think I might finally reach this goal after being convinced for the last few years that it wasn't possible, but here I am 4 months postpartum from my second child and I am so close I can taste it.

    I'm sure my valentines day will be lovely as I am blessed with a good man and lovely children but there is nothing that makes a special day even better than to feel good in your own skin! If... no, WHEN I lose this 6 lbs, this Valentines will not only be about celebrating the love I share with my family, but it will be about celebrating love for myself!
