I was thinking pounds.My goal is two pounds a week starting december 26.That way I can start fresh after the holidays.

Count me in. I need something New to motivate me.

I am in. I will try to do 15 miles a week and try for 1 pound a week.I am not sure how many weeks till Val Day.So I am not sure how much weight that will be.

I think I would like to jump in on an exercise challenge, but it seems if I focus on the pounds I don't do as well. SOOOOO, my challenge is to do jazzercise 4 times a week and do weight lifting 3 times a week and focus on my exercise level and keep increasing it. So, by Valentines day I hope to be comfortably down a dress size to where it is very loose on me at least!!

Hi Ladies,

Could I join you for and exercise challenge. I am already in a lbs. valentine challenge and hope to lose 7 lbs by valantine's day at a pound a week. For my exercise I plan to do at least a mile a day on the bike or treadmill. That is 7 days by 7 weeks, a total of 49 miles. and if I start today that is an extra day, so we will make it an even 50 miles by Valentine's day. Wow, those miles will add up if I can motivate myself to do it every day. That is why I need this challenge. LETS DO IT. IT'S A NEW YEAR AND A NEW CHALLENGE.

50 miles by Valentine's day! HAPPY NEW YEAR

My challange will be this...

So far I can jog/run for 20 minutes outside. Each week I will add 5 minutes. I will do this until Valentines Day. Then if I am sick of running I can give up :dizzy:

Hi Ladies,

This challenge is really helping to motivate me to exercise. I have been working on my treadmill - every - morning and recording the results here and have already done 21 miles of my 50 mile Valentine's day challenge. I am almost half way there! I can't believe it. And the exercise has helped me to lose the three lbs I gained over the holidays, so I am now ready to make some more progress in this weight loss program! I have increased my daily mileage from 1 mile to 2. 40 lbs gone forever!

:bravo: Thanks for the challenge! Good luck to everyone :dance:
