I would like to join this challenge. I need to lose about 9 lbs by V-day to meet the 5% goal. I am in desperate need to lose weight. The holidays really kicked my butt.

Hey Ladies fatgirlnomore, Yvette and all the new members yeah. Well I had a great Christmas and New Year but I went to step on the scale yesterday and it broke I really now think it has been broken for some time now cause it was crazy( the readings ). So I went and got a digital scale and man it was a wake up call. I got on yesterday for the first time I am not 177 I am 182 well either that means I gained 5 pounds over Christmas which I don't really see happening cause I watched what I ate, or the old scale was broken in the first place. So I am with you on the challenge and you are right this year is A NEW YEAR FOR ALL TO SHINE. I am really excited about this challenge and I will need to lose 10 pounds. So count me in, I am ready for a new me in 2006 !! And I ain't going back, moving forward. Well I am so excited we have lots of new people that's great Welcome ALL !! Talk to you later

Hi all,

I think my treat will be either a pedicure or massage. That will feel wonderful after all the working out.

Quick question, will we be posting our excersise daily, weekly, or just weighing in on Tuesdays? I like the idea of the weekend pep talk! I will definitely need that.

I worked out last night, doing weights for 1 hour and a half. Then, today wanted to stop for fast food, but thought about the challenge, and didn't do it! So it really does help to join these groups, to have someone to be accountable to when our willpower runs out! You go girls!

I want to do this challenge too
 

This is my first day here on this website but I want to do the Valentines day challenge too. I need to lose 16 pounds to do the 5% body weight.

Lifetime Highest weight 345
Weight on 12-30-05 304
Weight on 01-03-05 301.5 :carrot:

I joined the new gym by my house and am using their scales. So far I have worked out twice. But I plan to go tomorrow.

I am doing the South Beach Diet with my mom.

I would like to do this challenge, too. In order to lose 5% body weight, I would have to lose 8 pounds by Valentine's Day. I am definitely up for this challenge! I love challenges, they motivate me to push myself and stick to things!

CHALLENGE START WEIGHT: 164 pounds
CHALLENGE GOAL WEIGHT: 156 pounds

I'm in!
 

Im would love to join this challenge. I just finished watching the biggest loser family edition, and I was amazed at how they lost so much wt. after only 6 months. I weighed myself today and I'm down 3lbs :carrot: I offically weigh in on tuesday at curves, with measurements as well. I'll be working out a little harder over the next couple of days to see if I can lose atleast 3 more lbs. It's been along time since I've seen the 230's. Wish me luck. Oh!, my goal for valentine's day is 12.5lbs.( I hope to exceed that:) ) I check in tomorrow. Good luck everyone!

hey guys count me in .... i have to lose 13 lbs but i wanna lose more
sw260
valentines goal 247

i'm in!
 

i'm new here too, and i think this will give me something to focus on...great idea! my husband and i are both trying to lose weight..we are just cutting calories right now. i think we might try rewarding whoever loses the most weight each week with a dvd or a video game....anybody have any other ideas for motivation? maybe i should put a bikini picture on the wall pre-pregnacy...

Id like to join the challenge as well. I have to loose 8.5 pounds in order to loose 5% but I hope to exceed 8.5 pounds :) So count me in

Yup - I'm in -- I think mine works out to 11 pounds -- I'm not very good at converting.

So -- currently 100kilos
Valentines weight 95kilos (11 pounds?)

I'm in! That would be losing 17 lbs for me.

Hey Girls!
Glad to see so many people getting in on the challenge. I weigh in tonight at WW- so we'll see. I have been following the program to a "T" and working out. I am also taking KRAV MAGA- it is a self-defense style martial art that kicks my butt. Last night my instructor doubly kicked our butts with extra conditioning prior to practicing techniques, so that better help the cause!

Hope you all have a good day and I will let you know what the scale says later.

What a response WOOHOO
