Morning all,

I am pleased to say that I've lost 3lbs this week - so that's 11lbs since the challenge started (and 18lbs this year), so am happy to say have met the challenge and have another weigh in before Valentine's Day yay!

Hope you are all staying focused & at least maintaining so not putting any on.

Good luck to you all!

V :happy:

    Starting Weight (01.13.13): 142.6 lbs
    Week 1 (01.20.13): 140.6
    Week 2 (01.27.13) 140.6
    Week 3 (02.03.13) 140.6
    Week 4 (02.10.13) 139.0
    Total lost: 3.6 lbs.

    Well, I'm definitely not losing 5 more pounds by Thursday but it was a fun challenge! Weight is just a number on the scale y'all so don't get discouraged. Those of you who didn't reach this goal think about all the things you gained (self confidence, more strength, more endurance, etc) rather than focus on what you didn't lose on the scale. Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

    Yes, yes, yes you guessed it, I lost the whole NINE pounds. The challenge was good in that it kept me trying really hard. But oh the stress! That was my first challenge since joining MFP. I am on the fence now, do another challenge, or don't do another one. Good luck to everyone. Can't wait to see how many of us reach the goal. Happy Valentines Day.

    I've lost my 9lbs!!! Just a fraction of my goal but, I'm hoping to lose more by St Paddy's day. I wish someone would start another group for that! I have no idea how to start one. Good luck everyone else!

    What are you talking about!! You lost 7 lb's, that's amazing!! You should be proud, you did great. Don't get down on yourself for not hitting 9lb, 9lb's is just a number the whole point of the challenge was to lose some weight, any weight. If you made it fantastic, if you didn't then you're just that little bit closer to your goal! And you weren't far off at all.

    Don't feel down, you did fabulously. I personally ended up the same as what I started but that's better than putting weight on. I'd much rather be in your boat!! Keep going, at this rate you'll reach your goals no problem :)

    Ahhh, thanks - wise words. I actually forgot to weight myself on Valentine's Day and then did yesterday morning and found out I had actually lost 2 and a bit pounds this week, after seemingly stalling for ages, so I made it after all. And you're right - even 7lbs was an achievement, and I think I was just having a bit of a paddy when I posted that!

    Week 5 - I lost another 1lb, so lost 12lbs for the challenge & lost a total of 19lbs this year by 14th February 2013.

    Good luck to all of you on your journeys - this has helped having a challenge over a short amount of time!

    Thanks for starting it! Look forward to the next one x

    It's only 3 weeks until St Patrick's Day - so it's not that far.
    When you're on the main page for groups there's an option to "create group"

    How about a challenge up to 31st March????

    I forgot to come back in to check! I started this challenge at 137, and I know I'm late weighing in but I was 127 this past Wednesday, putting me at -10 for the challenge, plus 6 days because I completely forgot to come back and check in!!!

    Oh well... will go on to find the Easter challenge!!
