Okay, I am having a minor but kind of scary procedure done on February 12, and because of the stitches that I'll have, I won't be able to exercise for a few weeks afterward. Therefore, I am challenging myself to lose 6 pounds in the three weeks I have until then. I am only posting this to have some accountability partners, so who's with me? Thanks guys!

    Awww thanks so much guys...knowing that I have people to hold me accountable will be so great and help me lose the 6 pounds that I want to lose in the next three weeks' time.

    My goal is to stay 100% on track and lose the projected 2 pounds per week, totalling 6 pounds by February 12.

    What do you guys hope to accomplish in the next 3 weeks? It can be anything...just set a goal for yourself and do your best to keep up with it for three weeks. Thanks again! :flowerforyou:

    My goal is to finish the 200 sit up challenge and start the 100 push up challenge. If only I wasn't having so much fun here on the boards. Maybe I should add "stay offline all night" to my mini goals.

    Ok. I need to get back into exercising. I am sticking to 1200-1300 cals because not much movement since getting back off vacation!

    So my goal by Feb 12 is to back to working out 45 min 4 days a week! Starts tomorrow morning!

    So that means 12 work outs before 2/12. I will do this!

    You know Laura that is the way I was when I first started. It was always "starting tomorrow" "starting Monday" "starting at the beginning of the month" "after the holidays" "new years resolution"

    This time, I made up my mind and did it. I started RIGHT DURING THE HOLIDAYS! OMG. That was hard, but I knew if I got through it successfully I could do anything. And I DID! I always forgive myself for any bad decisions and tomorrow is always a new day, but I always, always always start
    right this moment.

    Laura, I hope your surgery goes successfully!

    My goal by the 12th of February is to take 18 walks by then with them being at least 2 1/2 miles long each! I used to walk everyday in the afternoons and did other exercises in the morning, but for the last three days I have been a slacker! :grumble:

    I am with you! My goal is to lose 6 lbs as well. I would really love to lose 11 pounds so I am bellow 200 but I know that is unreasonable for me. I also want to make sure I am working out 6 days a week. I am usually good about that but there are always days that I am like oh well. So Good luck with your surgery an dyour mini goal.
