Lose 15 lbs by Valentines Day Challenge

Would anyone be interested in a Challenge group to lose weight by Valentines Day? I have about 27 lbs to lose but I want to lose it in a healthy and getting fit manner. So I have opted to lose it slower and if I lose more than that - then great. I plan on doing weight training and combining it with running and/or my Insanity dvd's if I can't get out to run because of the weather. I have downloaded the runkeeper app and the gym hero app to help keep track of workouts.
If anyone is interested - let me know and let's start a group. I'd like to start on November 4 as our first week.
I am almost 50, 5'2, very active and at that age where losing has been a harder task than when I was younger. I need more working out and motivation to keep at it.

Love the idea, but please let us enjoy Thanksgiving and Christmas. The seasons are moving extremely fast as it is.0 -
I do plan on enjoying my holidays. I just don't want to wait until one month before my Valentines trip to try to lose it all. I enjoy working out and hope that by staying on track over the holidays I can minimize any gain and hopefully lose a little.0

I would like to join. I have about 17 left until my goal weight (though the number may change up/down as I get closer). I am lifting weights, just started running a little last week, and do fitness blender workouts at home. Weight loss has been slowing in the past couple of months so I think a challenge group would help keep things interesting.0

Awesome! I'll send you a friend request.0

I have 28 to lose until April - my birthday. The holidays are going to be hard for me, because I am planning on cooking all my favorite foods, but I could definitely do this, as it would leave me with only 13 pounds more until April. Count me in.0 -
Great! I'll create a group and do the invites.0

hello!
count me in!!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -
You can put me on it I'd better lose 15lbs by Valentines day or I'll be very upset with myself. I am going to try very had to stay on track most of the holidays.0

I'm in for losing!0

Im in for losing, I want to lose at least 50lb by July 8th. The weight is coming off extremely slow, so Idk how Im gonna do it, but Im definitely in!0
-
I would like to join too!0
-
Wonderful! Feel freei to friend request me also. I will get the group up and running sometime this afternoon. Looking forward to doing this!0
-
Also if anyone is interested in using the Runkeeper app and the gym hero app to track - I love my Iphone with my gadgets to log my workouts - let me know and I am sure there is a way we can become friends on those apps too.0

Group is up and running! It is called "A 15-Week Valentine's Challenge".0
-
Hell YES. I am so joining this challenge. Perfect way to motivate myself!!0
-
yes please my trainer has me hitting my goal weight by Valentine's Day and I am struggling! I have 15 pounds to go!0
-
I'm a little late but would love to join you.0

I'm new to this blogging thing. How do I get to your "15 pound group" that you have set up? Do I need to be invited? Sorry I'm not so good with this. Thank you:)0
-
I'm new to this too and am interested in this challange, i'm a little late to the game but if you're interested in having me id love to try it out.0
-
Count me in! Valentine's Day is my birthday and this will help keep me motivated. I'm going to Hawaii the end of April and I want to be at my goal by then.
Looking forward to the challenge!0 -
Im in !!!!0

I'd love to do a challenge like that. Maybe that's the motivation I need to lose the last 20 pounds. How about making it a percentage of a person's body weight instead of just 15 pounds? I mean, your 15 pounds may be my 20 pounds and someone else's 10 pounds, just a thought.
Anyway, heck yes I'm down!0 -
I would love to join- still have 35 more pounds to lose. Fifteen by Valentine's sounds about perfect

It sounds feasible to me. I am losing at a rate of about 1 lb/week so I should be pretty close to on target for this.0

i'm in, although i'm late so my goal will not be 15 lbs but 10 lbs. thanks!0

When I saw this post this morning, I thought that I was too late in the game if I was going to try to do this in a safe and healthy way. But after doing some realistic calculations, I think I CAN do it...and even if I don't get to lose 15 lbs.....a mini-goal never killed anyone! I'll check with my mentor to see what she says, but I think she'll agree with it . So excited that it's my first day and I ALREADY have a short-term goal set up! 0
