Hello everyone! I'm impressed this has been going since November! I'm going to hop on now with a couple weeks to go since I'm in the beginning phase of my diet (started 1 week ago today) so in theory I'll be dropping weight a little faster these next couple weeks than I will be after Vday.
SW: 182
CW: 178
GW: 169 (By Vday)
That's about 3 pounds a week at the beginning of my diet and I'll be starting a twice-a-week yoga class next week, which will really kick up my exercise. If I have to modify to 2 pounds a week that would be good too, but I'd rather aim high then adjust.
I'm in a long-distance relationship and Valentine's weekend will be the first time I'll have seen my boyfriend since early January.
Hi ladies! I've joined the V Day Challenge in another forum but I'd like to join here as well for the extra accountability. Mondays are my "official" WI days, but I weigh myself pretty much every morning and today I was 167.1. I'd like to get down to the 150's (159.5, which also happens to be my halfway point and Mini Goal #3 for me!) by Valentine's Day. My best friend and I are going to New Orleans for Mardi Gras (Feb 13 to Feb 17) and will be seeing some people we haven't seen in a couple years and I would love to be in the 150's. It's about 3 weeks from now so I will have to be perfectly OP but I know I can do it!
I'm definitely not going to make my valentines day goal...I was aiming for 186, but I keep gaining and losing and gaining and losing and right now I'm at like 194...and I know I can't lose that much before v-day.
I'm okay with that though...I've achieved another one of my goals. I'm a lot more comfortable with who I am now...and I'm not so ashamed to be around my boyfriend, and I don't pull away when he tries to hold me anymore!!
Anyways, I wish you ladies good luck. I hope all reach your goals in time =D
Hey all! Thought I would check in as Valentine's Day is coming up very quickly (2 1/2 weeks!) and I have not been very chatty on this thread, although I have been updating my weight weekly on page 4.
I have lost 12 lbs so far and I have 5 more lbs to go. Not sure if I'll be able to lose 5lbs in 2 1/2 weeks, but I'll certainly try my best! If I come within 1-2 lbs of my goal I will be very happy. I actually revised my goal a couple weeks ago to 144 from 139 as there is no way that is feasible for 2/14. I will get to 139 in March hopefully but not February!
Hope everybody else is doing well! This is the home stretch, let's make these next 2 1/2 weeks count!
divine - that's really great news to hear. That is what this is really about, isn't it? To feel better about ourselves and feel better in our skin. Way to go you for taking the lead on that one.
I've not been doing too well on this challenge and weightloss due to my living situation not being anywhere near ideal at the moment (but not for much longer). Been getting down because my internet connection is so bad that I have trouble tracking with spark and it's even tough to weigh-in because of flooring. Then having seen a photo of myself yesterday I thought well I just HAVE TO try harder, no excuses.
Sooo... I got up extremely early to weigh myself before the bathroom turns into waterworld. I've also started to write a food journal with an actual pen so I can count calories old school style with the help of a calculator and book, so "bad me" can't even blame bad internet access for not tracking properly and not being OP.
Today I'm 183.2, miles behind my target, but I'll keep on trying and see how far I'll get.
Hi ladies, it looks like everyone is doing pretty good!
Official WI this morning is 164.2, so still about 4.5 lbs to go til the 150's which is my Valentine's Day goal. Not sure if I can do it, but I'm still going to try!
