100 lb. Club - MAYBE a LITTLE Early....But VALENTINES DAY Challenge? Anyone Up to It?

So I was thinking over this weekend about going forth with my Valentines Day Challenge....I don't give much woop to do about that day but I am going to use it as my "challenge"

Its actually not as far away as we think ;)

My goal by Valentines Day is to be in Onederland!!!!!!!!! Even if its stinking 199

:)

Whose In?

:love::dancer::chin::dust::belly::val1::val1::val1 :

I'd be up for some a St. Valentine's Day challenge.

I'll go for 285 by 15 Feb. I have no idea what my rate of weight loss is over time, so I'll adjust my goal if it's not challenging enough.

11/28/10: 305 - starting weight!

02/14/11: 285 - GOAL

Sure I will join ya, I guess my goal would be 205. How often do we weigh in?

Ok let's weigh on a minimum of once a week ok?

Check in and update us by every weekend....Mark your calendars ok?

This should be fun. This is the first time I have headed a challenge so inform me if I do anything wrong or can add to what I'm doing ok?

I'm game! My personal goal is going to reach 232lbs by then. I am going to do my "official" weigh-ins for this challenge on Sundays to keep me accountable over the weekend.

I'll edit this post with my weights.

11/28/10: 249.4lbs (- 0lbs) ~ And so it begins!
12/05/10: 250.6lbs (+ 1.2lbs) ~ Pre-TOM bloating, booo!

I'm in! I like the challenge of reporting in every week! All my others end at Xmas or end of year, so it'll be good to have a challenge that overlaps them, so I don't get off track...
I'm setting my goal at 216lb -- that's my 25% loss mini-goal!

11/26/10: 242lbs (26lbs to go!)
12/03/10: 240 (24lb to go!)
12/11/10: 237.5 (21.5lb to go!)

12/25/10: 239 (23lb to go!)
01/01/11: 240
01/08/11: 238 (22lb to go.)
01/15/11: 237 (21lb to go.)
01/22/11: 233! (17lb to go!) Not gonna make the 216lb goal, but I realized that wasn't gonna happen back in December!! My new VDay goal is 225.
01/29/11: 230
02/05/11: 232
02/12/11: 228.5
02/15/11: 228lb :val1: Total loss of 14lb.

I'm up for it, but I dont want to start till the first of the year. If I can hit my mini goal by January first I can have a realistic goal for Valentines Day- which is my 13year Wedding Anniversary! Yay!

I'd like to join as well :) My goal is to be 240 by Valentine's Day!

Great idea, I really appreciate having something to project through to, over Christmas and my January trip. It could be tempting otherwise to think O Christmas, I've made it - and lose momentum.

OK, I aimed for 25 by the 25th for Christmas, and hit that last week with 4 weeks to spare.
I'm going to aim for another 25 by the 14th, which will be a bit more of an ask, it's a shorter timescale; but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

25lbs off it would take me to 141.9..... wow, only 5.9lbs off normal!

12/24- 250.0 -1.6 --- hopefully getting on the right track, still waiting to see how christmas eating will effect the scale
12/31- 249.6 -.4 ---- the holiday season was a hindrance, hopefully I can get back on track now that its over
1/7- 248.6 -1.0 --- slowly but surely creeping on down lol

I'm going on vacation with skinny male friends who love to eat at the end of January, and definitely need incentive to stay on track over the time period... This challenge should help! I'll also post-date my progress so far to the start date of the challenge to help remind myself of progress I've already made.

My goal is to lose 2 pounds per week, which actually would put me right at breaking under 200 at the end of the challenge!!!

Ky and AnnieOh --- you two are smoking this challenge! I hope you have some nice reward planned for Valentine's Day, because you are certainly earning it! Roses? Sexy new clothes? A night out dancing with your honey? A full week of someone else doing the cooking? (OK, I admit that last one is MY fantasy....)

So, jumping in late, but jumping in just the same. Five weeks, 10 pounds gone. That sounds like a reasonable goal -- and will put me in a new decade.

Well, my goodness! My goal wasn't ambitious enough. I guess the new goal will be: how low can I go before 14 Feb?!

SparrowSings: My reward is usually weighing less than I did before. :D My husband is a homemaker, so my meals and cleaning and whatnot are always done by someone else. Ha ha!

I want to lose 10 pounds by the end of Valentine's week. My goal weigh in will be 2/17/11, and I want to weight at least 264.8.

Not gonna make the 216lb goal by Feb14, but I realized that wasn't gonna happen back in December, when I had soooo many weeks right around 240!! My new VDay goal is 225lb. So I guess I have 8lb to go in the next 3 weeks.

Ky and Annieoh, what are you both doing to lose weight?

02/14/11: GOAL? How low can I go?!

Fitwayoflife: I eat on plan for South Beach (so good carb, good fat) and at about 1500 calories a day (a bit above or below of course depending on the day, but never ever hungry because that means instant failure with dieting for me). I'm also doing strength training (3 days a week P90X strength videos, http://hundredpushups.com program, and yesterday for the first time ran as I'm about to begin C25K).

It also helps that I'm still quite heavy. My understanding is that you often lose more weight each week when you're very heavy. It will no doubt slow down when I reach more a more moderate weight.

Thanks. :)

Ky and Annieoh, what are you both doing to lose weight?

I eat under 1500 calories a day, weigh or use measuring cups for my food, journal all my food, I always write everything Im gonnat eat for the day in the morning and follow it, I drink 96oz of water a day, excerise 5 times a week on my wii fit for an hour each time I try to burn at least 400 cals in that hour.

No forward progress this week. I've been running (four times) and keeping up my pushups and kettlebell swings, as well as eating on plan.

I just assume my insides are rearranging themselves this week and I'll see something on the scale another day. :)

Actual! 2/13 - 197.5

So total I'm down exactly 22 pounds over the 11 weeks. I guess I can't really complain about that. Good luck to everyone else for your final weigh-in for this challenge, I hope it has been as motivating for you all as it has been for me. :)

Great job everyone!! Happy Valentine's Day! I didn't quite make my goal, 2 pounds to go. Oh well! I lost 22.6 pounds, which I am very happy with!

Good Job Everyone!

Total loss 14lb. Missed my orignal goal of 216 for sure, had a rough Christmas season. Missed my revised goal of 225 by a little. Still, pretty dang happy to be down at all. Especially since 228 is my lowest post-college wieght!! :D

Yay for everyone who met or exceeded their goals! I got really sick in December (hello hospital) and ended up stalling bigtime. I only ended up losing 4lbs total but hey, better than nothing, lol.

Regardless of the results, I am WOWed by all the stick-with-it-ness! And for that, everyone deserves a round of applause. Well done! :cp::cp::cp::cp::cp::cp::bravo::cp::cp::cp::cp::cp ::cp:
