Default How about having a Featherweight challenge?
Hope I'm posting in the right place.

What do you all think of having 2 lb challenges? This being the first one

Please join in; it'll be fun and motivating.

It's similar to the 5 lb challenge in Chicks Up for a Challenge. But, since we are all Featherweights I thought it would be more realistic for us.

I'm in! I need something to motivate me.

Going below 120 will be a HUGE psychological boost for me, as I've only done it once before in my adult life (and I only maintained it for two weeks that time).

It's whoever loses 2 lbs first. Being featherweights that may take a while. lol.

The winner gets to start the next 2 lb challenge. I'm so excited you've all joined. This is great!

Taurie, what a great idea! I know I'll probably never win a 5lb challenge on the regular forum. I think the last one took only 2 days! Right now I'm at a plateau because I just started weight training, so I know I'm stuck for a little while!

I'll join in; the last time I weighed myself I was 111lbs but I will wait until tomorrow morning to post my "official" starting weight for the challenge.

Sunday it will be a week from my 20th birthday, so I am hoping to leave as many pounds as I can in my teenage years!! (Doing it the healthy way, of course )

Sounds great!

This may be a tough time... I have two dinners out this weekend, but I'm always up for a challenge and maybe this will help me to keep my appetite under control at the Olive Garden! =)

I am SOOO pumped to get BELOW 110lbs......don't know how long it will take since I haven't hit a real plateau yet, though.

Good luck everyone!!
