Default Valentine's Day Challenge

There's already a Challenge thread in the General section, but I'd really love to have a Challenge with my Sistas...a "Stay OP and Exercise regularly" Challenge!

I'd like to lose 17 pounds by V-Day. That would be my official 10% from when I started in July.

Any takers?

Count me in. I'd like to get down to 155 by my birthday, which is three days before Valentines day.

I need to count my points and exercise (Kinetic and I'm going to try Couch To 5K again).

Count me in too. I feel so much better than ever now. I'm not going to commit to a weight loss, but will committ to exercise & healthy eating.

Good luck, all of us.

Love ya,

Kitty

Morning everyone! I just got my hubby off to work and the kids are still sleeping! It's sooooo quiet here!
Kitty, so glad to hear your getting out! Glad to hear you are feeling better. Gotta love the mall and the dollar store!
Misty, I am familiar with Coudersport. The other places you mentioned.......I've never heard of! lol! Oh.........I wanted to mention, I too, pay $12 a week for ww! It's all the other stuff I felt it necessary to buy! that got me to the $20 a week thing! lol! I didn't get to Changes 4U yet. I am going to work out today though!!! The first time in forever! I'll probably collapse and need a nap after that though!
Mom2, Yippee!!! Good job! Keep it up! I'm down 2#, it's such a god feeling!!!

Have a good day everyone. I wasn't here yesterday, so I have a bunch of
3FC catching up to do!

Good Morning all!

I haven't been exactly OP all week, but my home scale is showing a loss. I guess any thing is better than last week LOL.

Kitty good for you for getting out!!!

Jeanne-Hope you get to go work out that will be fun. I live 20 minutes from Coudersport, that's were DH works Enjoy your quiet morning and have fun working out

Well I think we may make the big trip to town today. We need to go to BJ's and such. We're out of everything. We'll see DH may go fix his truck, so then we may not shop until tomarrow, or next week, or next month who freaking knows around here. SHopping just should not be such an event!

Anyway I am feeling good that I am meeting my goals and I will stay on plan today. Hvae a fbulous weekend everyone!!!

Hi V-Dayers!!!!

Today I started with a vengence. Yay! I've been OP and even took the dog for a 20 minute walk.

Anyone sign up for the national Body Challenge? You get a free 8 week membership at Bally's (beginning 1-14). Awesome!
