Valentines Day Challenge!
 

I want to go out on Valentines Day looking fab this (well technically next) year, so I'm starting early and want to buy a really special outfit for it. Let's do it for our men and ourselves, or to find some men.. or maybe just to ignore men, it doesnt really matter ;)

My first weigh in will be Wed the 17th and the last will be Feb 13!

I'm willing to go this alone but if anyone else wants to join thats great!

My goal is to lose 28 lbs and be (any where) in the 150s. Its a lofty goal, but why not shoot for the stars?

122 days!

Do you want us to edit our original post when we weigh in, or do a new post each week?

youll probably want to make a new post so people notice it :)

just quote the days that you've already weighed if you dont want it to be ginormous!

My husband and I are going to be having our honeymoon (couldn't have one before now because of our work schedules and already taking leave for the year) in April. I am beyond motivated to reach the goal I have set for this challenge before we go on our honeymoon! We are still trying to decide on a place, I have thrown out a few ideas and he's liked all of them. Now I just have to make a decision.

I'm not really sure why I had a HUGE loss this week, but I won't complain. Maybe my body is catching up from the slow progress I have been making. I won't expect this to continue, but I am happy with it for now.

Keep up the hard work, everyone!

cheers! me too!

weighed myself today and im out of the 160s :D

alright chicks, i had an awful week (as some of you may have read in my post in the support forum)

its time to get back on track and KICK butt!! i cant let these few pounds ruin everything (even though i thought they were going to this morning). my goal seems further away than ever now but you know what? even if i only make it to 175 by valentines day, who cares? ill be looking better than i do now and ill still have a fun night.

hope everyone is doing well!

I would like to join! My weigh-ins will be on Sundays. My starting weight is 144.8. We have 15 weeks until Valentine's Day! My goal will be anywhere in the 120's. So...129.9. :love:

I may need to buy a cute dress as a reward too. ;)

Wow, I had a huge loss, too. I had to weigh myself twice, and the second time the number was lower :dizzy: I don't complain! I'm only in the first month, month and a half of this so like gatorgirl mentioned my body is probably just catching up!

Good luck ladies :)
