Hello all! I thought I'd get the sign up thread for the pounds-off Valtentine's Day challenge started early, so those of you who are already following the Jingle Those Pounds Off Christmas Challenge can get signed up. But this challenge is for everybody to join. You can join any time, too, so don't be afraid you've miss out on this challenge because you found out about it too late. No problem! Join whenever you'd like.


Valentine's Day will be here before we know it. This challenge will officially start the day after Christmas, but you can sign up now to reserve your spot. That'll give us a little over 7 weeks to shed some unwanted pounds. Just like in our Jingle challenge, after you post that you're joining this challenge (don't forget about it now... ), come back on December 26th (or whenever you do join the challenge) and post your start weight, current weight and Valentine's Day goal weight on your first sign up post.


I hope to see a good group of people join so that we can all support and cheer one another on. Our other Jingle challenge has been a lot of fun and a big success. Everyone is doing so well. Let's keep the motivation up and those pounds down everyone!!!

Start weight: 189.4
Current weight: 189.4
Goal weight: 175

I'm in. Do I have to do anything else between now and the 26th?
Thanks for setting it up.

Welcome Italiannie! Hey, are you Italian? Just wondering, because I'm Italian. Ciao!

Nope. You don't have to do anything else between now and December 26th. Just be sure to come back and post your starting, current and goal weights on the 26th.

Looking forward to getting to know you better.

I am 3rd generation, and my freezer is full of Italian Christmas cookies, you know the drill. Thankfully this 3FC stuff has really helped me to keep them all at bay. We do the traditional fish dinner on Christmas Eve at my sister's and then here at our house on Christmas Day.
My Grandparents were "off the boat," Our family name is on the wall at Ellis Island. Very cool.

Hi! I would like to sign up for this challenge please! I'd love to lose another 10 or 15 pounds before my anniversary (Feb. 11) and Valentine's Day! Thank you

Definitely in! The "Jingle" challenge has been fun - great group of people! I see new names on this challenge already - great to meet new people.

I will be back on the 26th - a little scared what the scale will look like the day after Christmas - but will face the scale and move on. And on Valentine's Day the scale will be less than on Dec. 26th!

Good luck to all of us - we are all amazing!

Count me in!

I have not done very well on the December challenge, but I'll be back after Christmas to weigh in for this one. It might be closer to New Year's when I get back because of out of town holiday vacation.

I'm in!!! The jingle challenge has been awesome great group of girls. I need to loose another 10 pounds so let see what the new year brings for me...

SW-284(this weight started at the begining of my journey)
CW-268(starting weight for this challenge)
GW-258(goal weight for this challenge)

Welcome, welcome, old freinds and new. Welcome, welcome to a brand new you! (Was that a little too Dr. Seussy?)

Italiannie, your last post made me laugh with your you-know-the-drill line. LOL Indeed I do! My mom makes pizzelles every Christmas and Easter. In fact, we just had a cookie exchange party at my sister's this past Saturday (where I did not eat one cookie, thank you very much...). My mother's maiden name was Colace and most of my relatives all live in Massachusetts. I miss them so much and need to go visit soon.

Hi could I join in please?

Hi DietDawn! Of course, everyone is welcome at any time. Glad to have you with us.

I'd like to join in as well. I won't really be hitting the weight loss hard until after the new year (various reasons, not a new year's resolution), so something like this will help me jump start things.

Mizzie, welcome aboard!

I'm in too!

Glad to have you with us, seaurchin.
