Hi everyone!
Some of us did a January challenge and it seems to have really helped a lot of people so I thought I'd start a February challenge. It doesn't matter if you didn't do January - everyone is welcome!!!
So, I'll basically copy the layout from January. If you want to join, just copy this and update every week. Here goes:

"Tap" where you want to copy, but instead of actually tapping hold your finger down for a second. It'll come up with a selection and the option to copy or paste (and some others). Move your cursors to get the entire section you want to copy, hit copy and then when you want to paste hold your finger down again and choose 'Paste'.

As I am using the number listed above as my final January weight, I will use the same for my starting February weight. I am glad that this challenge lets you choose your ideal loss, as I have done the 5lb weight loss challenges, and as I don't have much more I wish to lose, it can be difficult to hit that 5lb goal every month. Also, February is very short, so there are less days to work at it. :]
I wish everyone the best of luck!0 -
Yes, I agree re: choosing your own goal. Everyone is at different starting weights and at different points in their weight loss so it makes sense to have your own personal goal. We all know that the more you have to lose, the more you can potentially lose each week. Also, initial weight loss is often quite a lot then slows down after a couple of weeks....and when you get close to goal shifting just a couple of pounds is tough. Anyway, everyone is welcome and everyone's goals and achievements will be appreciated.
And, yes, February is a short month....but that's also what's great about it....it's exactly 4 weeks. Everyone can commit for 4 weeks - it's no time at all!!!!0 -
