The Postcard Challenge is very simple... Post your weight as of today - 7th February - and I will make a note of it in my handy dandy notebook. Then, in 2 weeks (21st Feb), post your finishing weight and if you are the biggest loser (i.e. you lose the most weight), I will send you a postcard from the place you've never heard of... Cleveleys, England
AND... This is the biggie... You get to host the next round!!!!!

I would also love you all to make some pledges, nothing big, something you can reasonably stick to for 2 weeks.

These are mine:
every weekday - walk at home dvd, at least 3 miles,
sat/sun - walk at home, full 5 miles,
mon,wed, fri - Davina, power of 3 dvd (20mins),
tue, thu, sat/sun - 30mins each of Just Dance and Wii Fit Plus,
drink 8 glasses of water each day,
relax for 15-30 mins each day (I'll be reading a book).

I don't know that I'll achieve all of them but I'm going to give it a try!!!

So, if you want that postcard (and I know you do!), post your weight today, pledges too (I won't hold you to them, but make them something you could stick to).

Oh, and please feel free to add me (then you'll know when to post your final weights, 'cos I'll put it on my status!).

    Excellent! The songs, this week, are pretty good so that should be an incentive!!!!!

    Great to have you in, Bru, but please keep yourself well. This week isn't going to be easy for you. I'm thinking of you and sending lots of positive vibes...

    SW 207.2 (this is up a pound from Friday so I'm hoping it is water weight!)

    Hoping to get down at least a couple of pounds to 205 by the end of the challenge! If I could get down to 35 pounds lost (203.4) I'd be ecstatic!

    Goals:
    Exercise 6 days a week (at least doing SOMETHING)
    Sodium under 2300 daily
    At least 8 glasses of water daily

    Weight 262.

    Goals--get this TOM weight gone (still up 4.2 lbs but have lost 5 of it--i know ridiculous and probably not all TOM related)! and get back to working on new weight lost. Want to get to yoga twice a week and cardio at least 3 times a week. Hopefully 4. I know its probably unrealistic but I'd like to be 249 by March. If I can get back to losing 10lbs a month I can do this. Just need to get eating in line. And renew passion with Gym--which yoga should help. Oh and water! lots of it needs to be drank!

    I feel humbled by all the girls going on this challenge. I'm not as big as you but Im still on this journey with you as I have my last few lbs to loose. I look at my friends now who were over 200lbs and have lost their weight here on MFP and I always feel in awe of them. Stick with it, its a journey and here with all the great friends and support it makes the journey really enjoyable and you learn heaps. Hotbottom: weight 125.8lb

    Right, I have everybody's starting weights (we are a small group this time) in my notebook. If anyone else wants to join, I'll add them!

    Of my 'pledges', I've managed the weekday Leslie walks, I've done Mondays 'Davina' and today's JD2 sesh (made it 60 mins rather than 30mins + Wii Fit. I was enjoying myself too much!!!).

    I've also, drunk all my water and had my relaxation (I'm reading Maya Angelou's autobiographies, reading the second instalment at the mo).

    How are you all doing??

    I guess I didn't put in any goals for myself. Since I'm just getting over bronchitis I have to get back at it easily. I'm hoping to do a 5K this Saturday and get back to doing the elliptical at least 3 times a week. I did get back to Zumba this week too. So basically I just need to get back on my schedule - water aerobics, Zumba, Zumba, elliptical, elliptical, elliptical! :bigsmile:

    I'm hoping for a big loss soon, as I'm behind my schedule for this month so far :sad:

    :happy: :happy: I am starting to see a difference in my figure, small but noticable, and that is giving me more incentive!!!!!:happy: :happy:

    Carrying on with my goals/pledges for the rest of this challenge and into the next one!!!!

    :bigsmile: Good luck EVERYONE:bigsmile: !!!!!!

    I didn't give myself any goals, I am having enough trouble with the daily logging in. I am at 167 however so I think that is a 3 pound loss so far :bigsmile:

    Halfway... WI today was 206 (not an official WI for me though). That is 1.2 pounds down, but really back to where I was before the probably-water-weight-induced WI of last Monday.

    Almost there peeps!!!! I will try to message those who I don't have as friends tomorrow, to remind them. I'll post some reminders on my profile and my friends profiles on Sunday.

    I'm really hoping to be around 185lbs this time.

    Hi Louise. I'm posting a day early for this challenge as I am off to visit my grandson Ollie later today for the weekend, so will not be near scales or my computer!! Just a half pound off this time but I am nearly back to my pre Christmas weight and thenI can concentrate on the next stone. I just wish this last little bit would stop being so STUBBORN!!!!!:grumble: :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: :grumble:

    Okay, I've either messaged you or left reminders on your profile for tomorrow's final weigh-in.

    Good luck everyone, fingers crossed we've all lost something:bigsmile:
