I'm excited for this challenge! I have been struggling with some serious back issues for the last few months, but I got the go ahead to start walking. I want to lose 50 pounds as a lofty goal. I think it's doable. Since I'm at my highest weight ever, I'm hoping it will come off more quickly at the beginning.

Valentine's Day:

Thanks for posting this Jane. I had not taken pictures since January so it was a good reminder. I never even thought about a "progress picture shirt". Today I found a tight shirt with tiny sleeves that I would never wear in public. I took 27 selfies this morning; about 1/3rd were thigh up. OMG! I was deluding myself that losing 40 lbs made me look so much better and that I was carrying my weight so well. What truly amazes me is that looking in the mirror at myself and then looking at the pictures that I took in the same mirror seemed to add lots of fluff that I am just not seeing. I am completely baffled by this, but it was definitely a wake up call!

As a note, I weigh in on Fridays. I love the idea of a progress shirt. I'm off to raid my closet.

searching i feel exactly the same,i look so great in the mirror butpictures of me.. not posing are so unforgiving, is that what ppl see when they look at me!?

RadioJane! You look amazing! I just got back on the bandwagon (Today is my new day one) so how perfect! I love challenges

Valentines Day: Hoping to be trying on my wedding dress around this time <3

This happens to me all the time. I tend to forget that even though 100 pounds is quite an accomplishment, I still have nearly 200 to go!!!!

Thank you Sunday!

I'm down .7 today. Hopefully that's a sign of things to come!

Radiojane, AWESOME challenge idea! Count me in!

To be honest, I've never been all that successful in the weight loss challenges (I've joined several ), but I've also never given up. I seem to do just enough to maintain. Couldn't ask for a better time to reassess why things aren't working and what I'm doing to contribute to ongoing failure/stalls/restarts. I am the proverbial work in progress.

SW: 173.3
GW: 144

I want to join! I'd like to lose 50lbs by that point!
I might buy myself a graduation gown that won't be plus size!!!

Goal:185..44 lbs in 22 weeks

Im sick and not really getting past 229.. how long will this last??

Valentine’s day seems so far away, but I think I need a long term goal like this to keep me in check. The holidays, particularly Christmas and New Year’s, are big weight gainers for me. Last year I gained 11lbs over Christmas! Not to mention I completely fell of the exercise band wagon. I think having a plan that goes past Christmas will keep me focused. I’d also like to lose 35lbs by then

That’s a great idea to have a progress outfit. I need to get on that!

SW: 317.6
GW: 282.6

I want to lose 42.7 pounds by V-Day. Thats about 2 pounds a week. That will also put me in ONEderland!!! My weigh days are Fridays so I will use last weeks weight for my start weight.
