Hi I'm new. I just joined the site today.
Can I join the valentine's day challenge.

My V-day goal is to loose 10lbs by Feb 14th.

Hi, Ladies!
Glad to see the losses! I only lost half a pound at last weigh-in and feel kinda disappointed. But I guess any loss is better than no loss or even worse - a gain. I haven't been drinking my water like I should. Hopefully next week's weigh in will be a little better. It has to be if I'm going to meet my goal. Anyway, I hope everyone has great success at next weigh-ins. Let's keep the pounds coming off!!

Congrats,

To all you ladies, weight loss is not that easy. Welcome to all the newcomers. Well when i stepped on the scale this morning i was down another pound. At least it's something. I really need to push it into high gear. I really enjoy these challenges they give me that kick in the butt that i need. After this one is over we need to begin another. I have decided to go to california for my DD birthday in late may of this year on vacation. We have family down there and we also are going to go to disneyland. But the main point is that i want to lose a lot of weight before i get there. I know that California can be very hot sometimes and i don't mind the heat. I just don't want to be fat and hot. So wish me luck.

I'm not even close to my goal. It has not been a good couple of months because I was sick a lot with pneumonia twice and then in between just not feeling up to exercising because my breathing was still crappy. My diet has not been great but I think it has been better lately overall. I was up actually about 4 lbs but then started back down. I think some of it was water from TOM so I'm not weighing in again until afterwards.

Wow,

pneumonia twice that's very dangerous. I had pneumonia once and it put me in the hospital. You stop worrying about the challenge and focus on your health. Pnuemonia is nothing to play with and I understand what you mean about the shortness of breath. Just take it easy and we will see you later.

Thanks E! but they were not really serious cases of pneumonia but still not something you want to play around with and aggravate. More like it was one long case because the first round of antibiotics didn't get rid of it completely just sort of knocked it into remission for a few weeks and then it came back. Still even though I couldn't exercise I can still control what I put in my mouth and on that score I have failed terribly lately. Last night I worked a 12 hour night shift and I am so dead today but I want to keep eating because I guess I think it will keep my going. Anyway has been a really bad day and I'm too wiped to even think about going to the gym.

My Valentine's Day challange was to loose my first 10 pounds. Well I have beat that day by about 3 weeks. I am so excited. I have set another goal of loosing another 15 pounds by March 10 with a total of 25 pounds lost. This is when we are going on our family vacation on the Disney Cruise and to Disneyworld. It is wonderful that there are so many looses already. Everyone lets us all keep it going.

I'm starting Dr Phil's Ultimate Weight Loss and thought this would be a good way to encourage myself.

My goal is to be down 3 pounds by February 14th. I will officially weigh in tomorrow morning.

Glad to have you CeeJay! I am re-reading the book too. Keep looking at the 14-day rapid weight loss start plan but have just been doing WW points along with some of Dr Phil's keys. His food plan is a little hardcore for me right now after eating anything and everything I wanted for 2 years!
I have 2 more to lose to win my personal V-day challenge and I'm EXCITED about it!! Did intentional exercise today, more work on a no-fail environment and always working on building my support online here.

[aliceshellique]

Hi everyone! I want to join as well! I know that I am a little late, but I still want to jump on the bandwagon. I want to lose nine pounds by V-Day! We can do it! We can do it!

[Ottoette]

I did it! WoooooHoooo! I'm so excited! Thanks all! :
