Hi everybody! :) I hope you made it over from the 15 by 2011 group! Now that we have a group name, we can try to stick together and help each other reach our goals in 2011!! :)

If you would like to be included in the spreadsheet, all I need is Current weight, and Goal weight for Valentine's day! Then whenever you post an updated weight in this thread, you'll get updated!

We are going to try to post workout and eating challenges as we go. Feel free to add anything you want, we all need new ideas to keep us going :)

Welcome!

    Count me in! Yoni101
    Current weight: 161
    Valentine's Day weight: 149 (Feb 13th 42 b-day)

    I feel like it is such a long way from my overall goal, but I know all the hard work will pay off!

    I found you!! I'm starting at 189. I am sad to admit, that I did gain over the holiday. In 6 weeks, I would love to get to about 179. so 10 pounds in 6 weeks, is less than 2 pounds a week!
    Valentine's day will be here in no time! I'm ready to get this party started.

    I'm going for 12 pounds by Valentine's day.

    I'm switching to my new scale today. It says I weigh 2 pounds more than what my old scale says. I thought about just subtracting 2 pounds everytime, but then I feel like I'm cheating. hahahah

    So, I'm starting at 209 hoping for 197.

    I'm going to wait for a few more people to make it over from the old post before I start the spread sheet. Probably Monday since that was our wiegh in day for the old group.

    Thanks for starting this topic. I'm excited for this one. I just got a used elliptical and am so pumped about using it!

    I'll post my starting weight tomorrow (I may have gained since last week, sigh).

    Do you want me to post a challenge for this week for everyone? Maybe we can all trade off days, or whole weeks, posting challenges. I'm up to post the first one if we can decide on daily or weekly.

    Hi everybody!!!!

    Let's introduce ourselves so we can get to know one another better.

    Here is my bio-

    Name-Anne
    Age-38
    Location-Virginia
    Current weight- 175
    Mini-goal -160

    Runner since April 2009 and competing since Nov. 2009. I began running to get the high calorie burn but ended up loving it more than I could imagine and today I run 20-25 miles a week. I love to meet-up with my local running group on Saturday mornings for long runs or join friends for runs. I still love the calorie burn but it gives me more than I could imagine. I gained 50lbs post pregnancy with my dd (who is now 2yo). I lost that weight plus 10 lbs more on a similar website but never lost the last 10. I gained 5 back so I have 15 more to lose. Might make a long term goal of 150 (25 lbs) as this is the best weight for me with my 5'7"/medium bone frame.

    Now it is your turn-look forward to connecting with everyone!

    Anne :smile:

    If you need a kick in the rear, or just some ideas for exercise, here's my challenge. It's optional!

    Between today (monday) and friday, do the following:

    90 minutes of cardio total (or more!)
    1 day of resistance training (weights, resistance bands, etc)
    3 sets of push ups- as many as you can do for each set (example: set 1, 5 push-ups, set 2, 6 push-ups, set 3, 8 push-ups). Do this in one sitting.

    Let us know your progress through the week and if you've done any of the challenges.

    Hey I can't join the Valentine's Challenge. I have foot surgery on Friday so that's going to keep me from doing cardio for 6-8 weeks. But keep me posted on the next one cause I'm going to need it.

    Drumline girl-that sounds like a great workout schedule---unfortunetley I do not have time to do a 75 min cardio during the week but plan to run 80+ min on Saturday! Good luck with these goals!

    Fitnewlife-sorry to hear about your foot surgery. Good luck with that and please come back and join in when you are ready.

    How's the water challenge going? I think I am on 5th now....need 5 more!!!
