Hey there everyone, the sweetheart challenge is over so now its on to St Paddys Day..................Who is up for joining together in a challenge for St Paddys Day?? Lets all of our water, and eat lots of greens so we can achieve the proverbial
My goal is a big one for me..........My birthday is the 16th of March, so what better present to myself then losing my 10%........so my goal is to lose 10lbs by the 17th, which actually falls on my normal weigh in day, how awesome is that!!!
I actually did pretty good with the Sweetheart Challenge and surpassed my goal and lost 18 lbs. I think short challenges really work for me.
My St patties day goal is 8.4 lbs. Yes a weird number, but it would take me to 205. I haven't seen the low 200s in probably 9 years. That would be thrilling if I could be there in the next month!
I'm diong the monthly challenge of Feb since I met my Sweetheart goal early.. So I am in for this one as well!! I want to lose 10lbs from now til' the 17th!! I CAN do this.. Yay!! here's my starting ticker.. gonna go add it in my sig!
I've never done one of these, so I guess I make my own goal & then on St Pattys Day, see if i've accomplished it?
.... My goal is to lose 2kg before then. I have my first have-i-lost-anything weigh in tonight, so if I lose 500g each week (tonight included) I shoudl reach that goal....
ETA: okay, I change my goal to be losing 5kg, because I lost 1.6kg in the last week! LOL... 2kg won't be enough of a 'push' for me

I'd love to be part of an official goal! I already made a ticker for my own st. patty's day challenge... it's to lose 5 pounds. I am losing at an extremely slow rate, so I think that's realistic for me for one month. I hope this helps with my motivation... thanks!!
Hmmm, I'm not sure what I want to go for! I'd love to be at my next 10% for St. Paddy's day, but that would be a 10 pound loss in a little less than a month, which may not be realistic. I think I'll go for 8 pounds, and maybe I'll surprise myself!
Kelly..........did you set mini goals for yourself, of a decreasing 10%? Thats what I did. I needed some what to break it up.......and figured that if I just kept losing 10% it was doable...........But then I also set fun mini challenges as well, like the sweetheart challenge, and now the st paddys day challenge...talk to you soon.

I wasn't thinking when I made this goal and didn't realize how unrealistic it may be for me since it's not a month long one, kwim?? So I'm changing it to 6lbs!! that will get me at a nice even number at least too.. Anything over tht is a plus too!!
Marion, yes, I started with 10% goals. I thought if I could just lose that first 10%, I could do anything. I still track the 10%'s in my Daily Diary, but on here I usually do the smaller monthly challenges. It's a little easier to see the light at the end of the tunnel when that tunnel is only 4 or 5 weeks!
