OK Ladies and Gentlemen - I failed miserably at the V-Day challenge so I would like to try for an Easter one. I need to get my head back in the game so am going to start this thread. If anyone would like to join me that would be great. I'm going to list my goals and see how many of them I actually reach by March 23.

Laurie's Bunny Hop goals:

1. Follow my food plan daily. No veering off course for any BLT's. This means writing and journaling everything I eat. No exceptions.

2. When my new eliptical arrives next week, start exercising at least 3 - 5 times a week. I realize I will have to work up the length of time each exercise period but I will do this in order to be a healthier, happier person.

3. Lose enough weight to get me into the 160's. Currently that's 6 pounds.

If I follow the above 3 goals I will make it.

I'm up for another challenge even tho i also failed at the v-day one. I'm in, i'll get my ticker up probably tomorrow when hopefully my scale is back to normal.

Since I made a Spring Break Goal, I will use the amount I have to reach that goal, which as of yesterday morning was 9.6 lbs. That will put me at 230.

And I would also like to add that I am only going to weigh myself once a week on Mondays. I am so obsesses with the scale that I think that works against me too. So now I have 4 itty, bitty doable things I know I can do from now until March 23.

Debbie - glad to have you join me on this quest. Together we can do this.

Kelly - we were posting at the same time. Welcome to this challenge. We can do this - I just know it!!!

Hey Laurie,

I too would like to join you on this challenge. I was 4 lbs away on my Valentine goal. I had set it at 15 lbs. So, for this one I am going to go for 10 lbs. We can do this.

Yea Dionne for joining Kelly, Debbie and myself. You are right. We can do this.

Well you all know that I cant pass up a challenge!! I am in for... 10 more lbs... 220!! (wow is that a real number?!)

Okay, I'm in! I didn't make my V-day goal, but this time I think I'll set a more reasonable goal for me. I'm such a slow loser...so, I am going to be more practical and go for 8 lbs.

I am going to make a personal goal to get on my treadmill at least three times a week too.

Good luck all!

OK I didn't make the Vday goal either but I am bound and determined to make this one! My goal is going to be 8 lbs as well Paula!
I feel like I ususally lose 1.5 a week. So this should be doable. I am excited! That will put me at 173! Let do this!

Ooops! I made my ticker for 10 so I guess I am in for 10 I am not changing it again! Ha!

i haven't joined a challenge in a long while..maybe i will this time around. i'll shoot for 6lbs. that would put me at 190. i've been struggling for every pound as of lately..since i haven't been this low in over 8yrs..so it's hard, but i'll give it a try!

I'd like to join in the challenge if you guys don't mind. I want to lose 10 lbs by Easter, which will put me at my first mini goal of 240 lbs. I also need to make sure I exercise at least 4 days a week.

I am sitting here feeling miserable about my weight and my failed efforts to stick to plan. So, I am recommitted ..I must do this before I shed my winter coats and sweaters for spring and summer clothes!!

I am in on the challenge....just updated siggy.

I am in. Easter is 5 weeks away. My first thought was to go in for 5#'s but with the challenges I have over the next month I may be in for disaster. I am traveling 3 out of those 5 week so loss may be beyond my grasp. So my Easter goal is to maintain my current weight of 170 for the entire 5 weeks 3 days.
No kidding if I lose any weight that will just be gravy.
My challenge goals:
1) I will exercise everyday
2) I will stay on plan to the best of my abilities without causing personal stress and turmoil.
3) I will enjoy my accomplishments of the last 6 weeks without regret, distress, or sorrow.
4) I will not regain any of the weight I fought so hard to lose over the last 5 months.
