Thought I'd start this one since I didn't see it anywhere. I was a little worried since I've been sick since last Friday with no exercise and just vegging on the couch.

Started Jan 2: 174 pounds

Last week: 168 pounds

This morning: 167 pounds

Goal (Feb 14th): 159 pounds

Total lost: 7 pounds
Total left: 8 pounds

I can do it!! Good luck to you all!!:bigsmile:

    I tend to loose weight when I'm sick, but gain it back, then some. Very frustrating. My goa for V-day is not going to happen since it is more than 10 pounds I'd like to loose.

    Good luck to those all reaching their goals.

    By Valentine's Day I hope to be a consistent 156 lbs.

    what do you think? How often do you think you should you weigh yourself?

    lately I've been weighing myself everyday and get frustrated of seeing up and down numbers. Sickens me. I've heard you should do it once a week. I think I will try that so I don't get frustrated everyday. But rather once a week. :happy:

    i hope to be at 210 by v-day that means i will have lost 10ibs in one month, that would make me feel great. ( i started last monday at 220 i am at 218 this week. i am on a good track!) My anniversary is March 5th so my STRETCH goal is to be at a stable 200 by then that would be very awseome!

    Today I was 181.5. I'm not sure what I reported last week, but my Valentine goal is 170. The progress seems slow and that date seems to be coming up quick...

    Hmmm--Valentines is in three weeks.
    I just started this diet on Monday at
    196 lbs so I can make my first goal
    to be under 190 by Valentines.

    Lets see 182.9 today
    Since 182 is my plateau weight I will hope and reach for 175

    I started at 321 on Jan 1...three weeks later I am at 308.5.. my goal is to be 290.. that is doable...no problem...Tonight when I was working out (side bar) I was really having to push myself..my program was going from resistance 1 to 2 to 3...3 was tough...4 was coming...I imagined Jillian from BL standing on my machine...She asked me if I had it in me...I told her there was nothing that I could not do...when 4 hit i began to breathe aloud..i asked her "is this it?" I laughed out loud...I started to blog on myspace...so I could get encouragement from my family..at first they did great..but the newness of it wore off..now they just weight till my weigh in pic every tuesday..I really need encouragement...come be my friend...I'll push you if you push me...

    Good job on your loss Amanda! :bigsmile: And everyone else as well! Amanda, don't worry. Like you said...just switch up your routine a bit and maybe switch up what you're eating as well...and hopefully avoid that plateau! YOU CAN DO IT! :flowerforyou: Good luck to everyone! I'll post again next week!!

    3lbs lost this week makes up for not losing any last week. :happy: I'm feeling 100% confident about my valentine's goal.....especially seeing as my husband is out of town working until the weekend before valentine's (he was a chef for many years and still enjoys cooking at home, not a big help when it comes to weight loss :ohwell: his food is so yummy :sad: ) As long as he's gone I should be able to steer clear of any temptation (my cooking sucks):laugh:


    Start: November/07 -- 157

    1st week January 11 -- 143
    2nd week January 18 -- 143
    3rd week January 25 -- 140

    Things are moving along (surprisingly after my "bad" Friday night).

    Start in Nov - 182.5
    Last week - 167.6
    Today - 165
    VDay goal - 160
    Overall goal - 138

    Only 5 lbs to go in 2.5 weeks! It is realistic if I keep up with it! And I have extra motivation to try to drop below 160 for the first time in who knows how many years!!:tongue:

    Good job everyone!!

    Jumping on board here...might be over-extending myself a little but would love to be at 180 by Valentine's Day.

    January One weigh in was 192
    Yesterday was 187
    Goal is 180

    7 pounds in three weeks...I will even settle for 180.6. Just seeing 180 would be fantastic!:drinker:
