    Okay guys! It's our FIRST mini-challenge! Valentines Day is one month away! I'm challenging you to do 650 minutes of exercise between now and Valentines Day! Make your heart stronger! Also, post how much weight your hoping to lose by then! The last part is to pick a reward. What are you going to give to yourself for completing the challenge? A dinner out with your SO? A nice foot rub?

    So I'm going to make my heart stronger by doing 650 min of exercise between now and Valentines Day. I'm hoping to get down to at least 180 by then. If I meet both of these goals I'm going to get a shellac manicure :)

    How about you?

    I am hoping to lose 10 lbs by then. If I meet both of my goals I am going to buy myself a new pair of running shoes!

    Hi CC thanks for the challenge. My goal for Valentines Day is 165. I am currently 173. I like the previous post reward of a new pair of running shoes! Now to stay on task and motivated!!

    I'm in! I just started on Jan. 9, 2012 so I'd like to lose about 10 pounds (realistically). I would love new cloths for my Hawaii trip but just to feel lighter and not be so hard on myself would be a blessing. :)

    @lalalee - I love a good book! That is one of the things that is keeping me from snacking @ night. :)

    Sunlight:
    Your metabolism might have slowed down a little bit! I would suggest taking B vitamins!! They really help me when I'm in a slump!! :) You can do it! :)

    On another note... my week has gotten a little better as far as exercise! I joined the gym yesterday and I went for an hour and a half yesterday and about 45 minutes today! :) I'm REALLY sore, but I'm off to do it again tomorrow!! I'm loving this! My calorie intake has still been bad... but most of my calories yesterday were from alcohol.... WHOOPS! I had a "drown your sorrows" kind of day I think...
    I also had pizza and a coke for lunch today.... but at least I burned about 600 calories at the gym... we'll see how tomorrow goes... I'm going to try really hard not to eat anything bad... :) Good luck, everybody!!

    This thread is so inspirational! I'd love to join you all in this!
    I'm currently 189.6 at 5'4" so the idea that I could be in the 150s by June is a big motivator for me. :)

    Feel free to add me if you'd like. Most of my real life friends aren't so supportive about this change that I've made, so I could really use some push from you guys.

    I would love to join you. We have similar statistics. I am 5'6", as of this morning I weigh 183. I joined this sight 1 week ago last night. I have found this sight very motivating. Just being accountable to this sight, makes me want to eat less and better. My goal is to be down 50 pounds by July 2 (my birthday).
    Feel free to add me!

    I'd love some inspiration! I'm currently at 167.8 (FINALLY just got out of the obese range bmi) and 5'3". May 28 is the first day of my last semester for my first college degree which is really something to celebrate for me (my new years resolution was to finish my degree and I should be done by the end of summer!) and I've been in and out of college since I graduated high school in '05. My weight loss has been pretty slow so I think if I could lose 5 pounds by Valentine's day I'd be happy. I don't have a significant other but I am going to Osaka (I'm currently living in Japan) the next weekend and I'd allow myself a special shopping spree if I lose the weight to get new clothes for the trip. I haven't picked a goal for June 1st yet but it might be in the ball park of 20 pounds down. 147? I think that's doable. Scary to think about though as I haven't been able to keep motivated. Hopefully being a part of this group will help me reach my goal!

    Hello everyone! Had my third weigh-in today since rejoining the site. Down 1.4lbs! I'm going to keep myself accountable on here with you all, if you don't mind. =]

    1/8: 146
    1/15:144.6 (-1.4)

    V-Day Goal:139

    0/650 minutes exercise (I am having a crazy over-time week at work, but my gym membership is back as of this coming Friday so I still plan on meeting this goal, hopefully!)

    I have been focusing on keeping my calories in check while still eating when my body is hungry this week. Good job everyone, excited to see people checking back in!

    Hi everyone. I hope you dont mind if I join. I would love to be down around 30 pounds by June 1st. I am currently about 145 and would like to end up at 110-115 by then... I am currently a full time student and a mother of two little girls and stay extremely busy but try to find time to do zumba and running. I would love to help support you guys as well as having your support. Feel free to add me if you want!

    I'm in!

    I want to lose 10 lbs by March 1, so if I can lose 5 of it by Feb. 14, cool. Either that, or 2 inches off of my body!

    If I reach my goal, I'm going to buy a new scale. I don't like the one I have. It doesn't show my weight accurately.

    My eating was really bad yesterday. I feel really gross today. Oh, well, today's a new day.

    I will be turning 30 this June (*tear) so it's my goal to get at or under 175 (that's 30+ lbs) by then... I'm right there with you. Using the holidays as mini-goals is a good idea :)

    I only lost 1.2lbs since the 6th of Jan. When I weighed myself on Tuesday the scales said 193lbs, so ashamed of myself! But its good to see that I managed to lose something before my weigh in... Hopefully next weeks weigh in will be more successful!

    Starting weight: 190.4lbs

    Hey, would it be possible for me to join you all? My 25th birthday is on the 24th June and i'd really like to be held accountable for anything till then! Just weighed myself for this week and weigh 259pounds, height 5'6.5'' (that half an inch counts lol), from the UK, hoping to lose 2 pounds a week, around 40 pounds, which will be amazing!

    I'll join you! I was 197 at the start of this long journey, and less than a week in I am now down to 192.5. I am amazed! I would like to be down to at LEAST 145 by summer this year.

    Hi all! Thanks for joining me! So I don't think I'm looking to do a weekly weigh in or anything like that, but more just a general support of what we want to work on weekly and then discuss any struggles or tips! On the 14th I think we should post a mini goal for how much we want to lose by Valentines Day, and then what we're going to reward ourselves with when we hit it, so start brainstorming. My biggest weakness is definitely logging, so I'm going to work on logging so I can be more conscious of how much I'm eating.

    Good Idea!

    I would love to join you. I would like to lose 44lbs by June 1st. I really need the extra support. Really have been struggling the last couple of weeks. Would love anyone to friend request me to help me reach that goal and I will help you reach yours. :smile:
