Gumboot: Sara is right - there are no rules except the ones you make for yourself. We just have these little contests to make it a little more fun and challenging (I mean who wants to let her 3FC friends down? ) on our weight loss journey. I just suggested 1 pound a week, but by all means please set a goal you feel most comfortable with! It was so encouraging to see others lose in the Christmas Gift challenge, and I know it will be the same with our Valentine's Day challenge as well.

Randee: You definitely will get the support you need here at 3FC! This is what I give 95% credit to for the weight I have lost so far. It is incredible the support you get here. I'm anxious to see how we do in our Valentine's Day challenge.

Kriss: The loose skin is definitely a problem for me after losing 77 lbs. I know I have seen this topic addressed in the forum before, and I'm definitely no expert myself. The upper arms and thighs are huge problem areas for me in this regard. My face hasn't really been as much of an issue. However, I'm sure there are others who can give better advice about this. No matter how the skin is after the fact, loosing the weight is definitely worth any nuisance the skin might be when our weight is back to a healthy level.

math puppy: So glad to have you join us!!

WELCOME to each and every one of you!!! I'm thrilled to have you all join in the VALENTINE'S DAY CHALLENGE! I so enjoy it when everyone comes back to these threads and posts their success and setbacks as well as offer encouragement to their fellow 3FCs. I encourage you to do this, as there is motivation for yourself in that act alone. It sort of helps keep the reminder in the front of your mind instead of letting life and all the hectic things that come with it shove it to the back of our minds.

We are going to do it!!! Let's go, chickies!!!!

I am very pleased to announce I have lost my first lb in the V day challenge! I am surprized by it, after the damage I did at Christmas, but I will take it!! Jelly

Grats Jelly! I am happy to say that I finally dusted off the exercise bike and rode for 20 minutes today. I hope this isn't a one time occurance. I'm very good at biking for a day and taking a month off...

Count me in too! I weigh on Monday, 12/31/07. From that weight, I'd like to drop 10 pounds by V-day, but would be happy with 7!

WOW, Jelly!! That is wonderful! Keep up the great work! With that kind of success, you will surpass your Valentine's Day goal! I'm proud of you!

Guana21, that is wonderful! I'm sure you will have may more riding days between now and Valentine's Day, and this will definitely help propel you to your goal. Great going!!

Welcome, KrisR! I'm thrilled you are joining us. We want to make this a fun aspect of the weight loss journey, and I know you will be an inspiration to us all as well.

you know what I think i'm in too.

I dilly dally'd in the christmas target thread and didn't stick to it... stopped weighing myself, stopped checking in here... basically went down the denial route again.

Today was day one (although I remember posting that a week or so ago ho hum!). Managed to avoid all the junk food - just gotta keep remembering one day at a time is doable... thinking 'lifetime' freaks me out right now.

I pledge to get back down to my lowest ever which is 159lbs by valentines. I think that's about a stone away

Congrats Jelly... you are already on your way.

I had my weigh-in this morning, so I'm starting the V-day challenge at 267 with plans to be 10 lbs lighter by Feb 14th... my ticker is all setup and I'm ready!

Best wishes everyone for a successful challenge!!

7 lbs in 7 weeks sounds awesome. Count me in. V-day is also around b-day time for me.

Well that's it.

I now 'own' my regain - ticker updated, 100lbs lost piccie taken down, exactly on plan friday, out at relatives yesterday so bad food choices but total calorie count not too bad, not great choices today but total calorie count again not bad just avoiding the snacking temptation tonight (keep chanting 'i'm not hungry'). Back in work tomorrow (thank god), new years day and then plodding along again (and gym is back open hurrah!)

Little steps. 15lbs by 14.2.08 << actually it is 17lbs! argh
