I kept waiting for someone to start a Christmas Challenge and no one did. So I guess it will be ok if I start a Challenge to end the week of Valentines day. That will give us all 7 weigh in's.
I am going to do my best to lose 12 pounds by Feb. 16th.
1-10-06.....Finally I'm down into the fiftys. I lost 2.25 pounds this week.
It's a new year with a new beginning so I want to get on with losing the extra weight.

I'll join you too. I'll plan on 5-10 pounds lost by Valentines day. I'll use my last weigh in weight from last Wednesday of 185.75 as my starting weight.

Okay, shortly I will get around to changing my ticker. It is out of date and you can see I gained holiday weight...sigh!

I'll join in! I will set my goal for 10 pounds by my birthday (the day after Valentine's day...15th). Thanks for starting this challenge!

I would love to join this challenge also..great idea to keep us all motivated.... I have met a wonderful man about a month ago who happens to weigh LESS than me (hate when that happens -- so I would love to lose 10-12 pounds by 2/14. I am going to be on the exercise bike tomorrow and am determined to make significant lifestyle changes!!

Thanks for starting a challenge!

I'm in! I weigh in tomorrow, so I will tell you then where I'm at and what I plan to lose.

Jan 02 - 299.25
Jan 09 - 297
Jan 16 - 294.5
Jan 23 - 289.25
Jan 30 - 283.5
Feb 06 - 286
Feb 13 - 285

There was a key word in my challenge that some of you did not catch. If you noticed I'm having my last weigh in on the 16th of Feb. I had thought that the last weigh in of the week of Feb 14. Right now my weigh in will be on the 16th, but may have to change that because our group is having to move our meeting place and I'm hoping from Thursday to Tues. We've been meeting in the library for 15 years, but we are losing that place. One of our members has a sister that has a house in town that she holds DUI class's on Thursday nights and she says we can use it on Tuesdays at no cost to us. Can't ask for anything better than that. Already set up with table and chairs. We could have coffee. Just super great. Anyway give yourself the extra days if it falls that way during the week of 2-14.
COLOR="Red"]I want to congradulate all of you who took off some weight last year. Even if you stayed the same, that is good too as we are people who seem to be either losing or gaining. Congradulations all of you!!![/COLOR]

I am joining TOPS locally and this challenge sounds like fun. I weighed in on Monday and so I will make that my weigh in day for the challenge. I am aiming for at least a 10 pound loss.
