The Easter Hopping To Health Challenge!
 

Hello all! I thought I'd get the sign up thread for the "The Easter Hopping To Health Challenge!" so those of you who are already following the "Kiss the Pounds Away Valentine's Challenge" can get signed up. This challenge is for everybody to join and we welcome you to join any time,

This challenge will start on February 15th and end date will be Easter Sunday April 6th.........this gives us 6.5 weeks. We can do this!

We can check in here on February 15th to post where we are starting at and what our goal weight is. We can then post as the numbers go down - which they will :carrot:

So who's in??????

I'm in!

Welcome Nicki! These challenges keep me going. I plan to make the best of these 6.5 weeks :carrot:

HEY HEY NOW! Thanks for setting this up, Vicki! You know I'm in girl... LET'S DO THIS!!!

So my goal is to lose 9 lbs in 6.5 weeks- I know I can do that if I add more movement into my daily routine. I'll come back and post SW/GW on the 15th, and go from there. I'm excited!! Good luck to us all!

Howdy all! So glad to be back in the game. As I last posted in the Valentine's Challenge, I'm ready to get back into it, and this challenge is just what I needed to re-motivate myself. Thanks again, Vicki, for starting it.

Good luck to everyone! http://bbs.roddenberry.com/images/sm...eatingchoc.gif

It would be so great to lose that other .8 lbs and be in the 150's at the end of this challenge, but I ain't gonna push my luck, LOL!

Happy Valentine's Day to all of you lovely folks, let's all have an OP day/week!

Happy Valentine's Day all!

After a off plan weekend (thankfully I did get my exercise in) I'm ready to get back to work. I didn't meet my VD goal & really want to meet my February goal & of course the Easter goal.

Checking in here helps to keep me accountable, so I'm going to try to do it every day.

Have a great day & stay OP.

Kim

I gave it some thought, and decided that I may as well post my goal today.
I'm going to shoot for 172 - that's my half way mark.
I also decided that I'll report a weekly weigh-in instead of more often. Probably on Mondays - not that anyone cares, just thought I'd put it in writing for myself.

Looking forward to continuing on with all of you, and any newbies too!

I ended up losing 9 lbs. in the Valentine's Day challenge. I'll take it!

Thanks for starting this challenge, Vicki. And Sandy . . . hoping things are going a bit smoother for you. :hug:

Hey guys! I'm in. Sorry I wasn't around to chat much during the Vday challenge. Lofty again but hey, go big or go home. For this challenge I want to go from obese to overweight. That's 174 for me.

SW: 189.5
GW: 174

It's so nice to see so many people here from the Valentine's challenge and to see your starting numbers so much lower, too. Congrats to all!

I'm not going to set such a big goal for myself this time around. If I end up passing it, so much the better, but it'll be nice just to see under 190 again.

CW: 197
GW: 189

Good luck to everyone. :D

I'll be more than happy to join all you wonderful losers!
I lost 4 pounds during my last challenge.

I sure hope to lose more in the Easter Challenge.

I'm in as soon as I can find a real scale to measure myself on and not the WII scale. 10 pounds would be wonderful to me.

I'm in! I'm new to the forums and was so happy to see a challenge starting today. Nice to meet you all! I'm planning to lose 10 pounds by Easter. (But is it just me, or is it 7.5 weeks to Easter? Isn't Easter Sunday the 8th?)

I just went and checked, you are right Easter Sunday is on the 8th. The 6th was probably just a typo, that or maybe she just generalized the challenge to "Easter weekend" so to speak. And yes its 7.5 weeks not 6...but hey I wont complain about the extra time ;)

:crossed: Wishing everyone good luck!

No problem all! I just weigh-in on Mondays. :) Good luck everyone! We're going to rock out!

I am just finding this site and signing up this evening. I am trying to do WW online, but am having a having a really hard time staying on track. I would love to share this weightloss journey with others and share my support for everyone that is tackling this along with me. This challenge looks great and everyone here seems very supportive. Looking forward to losing 9 pounds!!

tlbrwn - Welcome!

There is also a WW area on here with lots of tips! When I first started WW I was hungry all the time but my appetite adjusted. Try to bulk up your meals with lots of veggies!

Jen

I'm checking in late here tonight. I kept super busy to burn calories and get my mind off food. :D It worked because it's not even 9 p.m. and I'm ready for bed.

Glad to see more people have joined. Good luck you us all!

I'm off to a good start; down 0.4 pounds this morning. Gotta get off the weight I recently gained during the Valentine challenge.

See you all tomorrow!

Welcome to all the new joiners. Nice to have you here with us.

It's kind of funny that I had my final weigh in yesterday for the VD challenge (that just sounds wrong) and of course this morning I was down 1.2 pounds from yesterday. lol Oh well, it gets me off to a great start in this challenge.

Hope everyone has a great OP day.

Kim

Hello to all! Just 'hopping' by to say HI! I've had a mostly OP week so far, offsetting any extra cals consumed by EXERCISING (blech). I really need to find a way to like this thing called exercise, and just do it every day and let it be. Anywho, heading out of town this wknd for some much needed quality time with the hubs, I'm really gonna be trying hard to stay OP. Wish me luck! I'll be checking in for Mondays weigh-in, hopefully there'll be no damage done :crossed: Happy Thursday everyone!

I just saw this today and would really like to join. This will be a good way to make sure I stay OP and exercise. I have Zumba tonight and that is something I always look forward to (twice a week). :carrot:

Hello everyone! Having trouble getting off my booty today to do my work out lol :snail:. I usually work out Mon through Friday. Saturday Im usually out all day, and Sunday is my lazy day. Started Slim-in-6 this week. I was doing p90x with my DH but its a bit too advanced for me and it started to feel more like a struggle then an actual work out. I really need to buy a heart rate monitor so if anyone can give a suggestion on brands Im all ears.

Ok Im gonna get up and go do my workout now :woops:
