Ooo, count me in. I already have a personal goal to be down to 155 by February 12. The Walking Dead returns then - YAY!!! - and when it went on its break I made that my goal. Can I post my start weight now? Thanks for posting this and hey everyone!
Thanks so much for posting this, Sandy. (The Valentine clipart of your opening post is just precious!) While I didn't lose pounds on the last challenge (due to - my bad!), I gained a great deal of inspiration to feel motivated not to give up. Thankful I didn't gain as with every past holiday.
Great to "see" some new folks (Hi!) and welcome back challenge buddies from the "Jingle." I'll return on 12/26 to post the nasty truth of current weight, goals, etc.
This might be just what I'm looking for to get me back on track again. I hate how easy it can be to get sidetracked and lose motivation. I'm ready for a new start, but know better than to try to start up right before Christmas. Too soon for me to have the willpower, I think. The day after Christmas is perfect.
Get to goal & stay there!

It's so nice to see so many people joining already. This is going to be great!
Loose Seal, you are more than welcome to post your starting weight right now. I'm not familiar with The Walking Dead. But my husband and I are diehard Mad Men fans. I can't wait until that starts up.
Jean, as always, you are so complimentary. Thank you! With Christmas alost here and gone, this next challenge should get us both on the right path to weight loss.
LisaLou, like I had told Jean on our Jingle challenge, just maintaining this time of year is a blessing. You are so going to rock the Valentine challenge. Welcome!
sandcar .. . . The Walking Dead is teh bomb. It's the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse. If I hit my goal weight by then there'll be less of me for the zombie to nom on. lol
Mad Men . . . seems like foreverrrr since it's been on. Oh wait, that's because it has been! Looking forward to that too.
Get to goal & stay there!

Bumping up to hopefully get more people interested in joining. And even though I don't know what my start weight will be on Chirstmas day, I've already set my Valentine's goal weight at 175. This morning I finally got out of the 190s (189.6 to be exact), so hopefully I'll be an even 189 at the start of this challenge. I think losing 14 pounds in just over 7 weeks is doable if I really set my mind to it.
I know it's still 2 days away, but Merry Christmas everyone!
Ok. I'm probably going to set a lofty goal but there's really no point for me if it's too easy. So I'm hoping I'll be at 199 right after Xmas (hope!!). Soooo 15 more by Vday will be my goal.

I'm in!!!! I have an outrageous goal in mind but I plan to really step up the exercise and diet since I will be laid off from work so I have to keep my mind focused on something other than that and the breakup that I just went through. New Year, new me!! Fingers crossed!!
Get to goal & stay there!

Bree, I'm sorry to hear all that you're going through right now, but great attitude about it. I've got a feeling that 2012 will be a good year, too. I haven't felt that way in many years.
Lambie, you rocked the Christmas challenge (for those of you who don't know, Lambie passed her 10-pound Christmas challenge goal today...so proud), and I know you'll do the same with this one.
Shanhat, you are so close to seeing the 150s. You'll get there with this challenge. I know you will.
