I'm in! I won't hit my 30 by Valentine's goal either, but it's great to have incentive!

Great idea! I would love to join as well:-)

I'm in! I'm sure the time will fly by and we will hopefully be having warm Spring weather in May! Jen :)

Wow!!!! Thanks for putting this together...I love the competitive look to the form!! This will be a great motivator!

Thanks again! :)

I'm very impressed! It looks like we have an AWESOME group already!!! :cool: Whether you are a mom or not...WE WANT YOU!! Just think of how impressed your moms, spouses, children, and/or furry family members :mouse::jig: will be with you. But most of all, how confident you will be knowing that you set a goal...and made great strides toward it!!

Good luck to all of us!

You are so welcome; I'm glad you came up with the idea. I re-joined IP to late to start the 30 by Valentine's Day, so I am looking forward to this one! To all of us:

:dust: :goodluck:

I'm in! I don't need to lose 30 more lbs, but this will still motivate me to get goal.

I'm confused. Here you say it STARTS officially on Feb 3.
On the form it says week ending Feb 3, which means we would enter stats this week

So, do we enter info NOW or wait?
Everyone has a different WI day so would be entering on that day.

Sorry for the confusion:
I'll get rid of the "week ending Feb 3rd" on the form.Enter your stats (starting weight) anytime this week. Then, record your losses each week after your weigh-in. You can choose the week you are recording your weight from the drop down menu and it doesn't have to be Sunday. I just did the countdown that way because it leads up to Mother's Day, which is on a Sunday.

Thanks for catching that...I was in a hurry.

Ok-Form is edited and ready to go!

Is there a way for us to see our (or each others) progress on this challenge?

That's a nice feature to using a spreadsheet (e.g., the spreadsheet used for tracking the 30 by Valentine's challenge) rather than a weekly form....you can see each week's loss, your total loss on the challenge, how close you are to the goal, etc.

The potential problem I see with the spread sheet is that anyone can accidentally alter, delete it or type over someone else, etc. I thought this was easier for people to input. I can post the spread sheet periodically throughout the challenge. If enough people want the sheet anyone can edit, I will switch it.

I will give it a go, last time on IP, I averaged 1.75 lbs loss per week over a 4 month period with no cheats. However, the challenge keeps me motivated and I am so looking forward to spring :)

God Bless all mothers, including those that have furbabies and fur-grandbabies :)

Hi, I am new too. I would love to be a part of this challenge! If my weigh-in day is Tuesday, should I just wait until Tuesday to post my numbers this week?

Love a good challenge I'm in!!

I'm in!!
