[Good Ol Gal]

LOVE IT! How do I add it though?

There are instructions on the bottom of the first post. See if that helps.. if not let me know!

[westjones]

In your SIG line (under User CP)

Put this:

But where that first { is, you put a [ instead.
Once you do that, you won't see the code, only the icon.

got it, thanks! :cool1:

[welovedis]

Thanks for the clippie, I love it! :love:

[TXBelle]

Count me in! I have threatened anyone who buys me candy or chocolate for Valentine's Day with bodily injury. princess:

[kikipug]

Count me in again! I didn't make it for January, but 3 lbs was better than nothing, especially with the lack of diet and exercise I had been getting before!

Feb. will not be easy either, with my Patriots in the SuperBowl, my b-day, DD's b-day, Valentine's Day (no chocolate, please!) and Speedweeks (which means racetrack concession food more often than not), however, I'll do my best!

19 lbs to go til I reach my goal! If I can do 5 this month, I'll be on my way!!!

[goldcupmom]

Count me in! I really need 8 for feb to be on track to my goal, but would VERY willingly take 5. I'll start my Feb on the 3rd as that is my WI at WW. Will end 3/3.

Good Luck all!

[Yardbird]

Can I join in?! :wave2:

I would like to join .....

Hey if I can, I'll do the challenge!!! If no one minds!!

Clippy is good!

Please sign me up...thanks!

[PRINCESS VIJA]

Please sign me up too! January got me going, and I know I NEED this challenge for February!

[westjones]

Count me in. I'd like to lose 5 in February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December!

This is my 'hope' also. If I could so this, I could be at my goal by Christmas! I have a Disney Cruise in March 2006, and I would REALLY like some nice family pictures this time.

DJ

[NancyIL]

I could use an incentive to lose 5 pounds! Sign me up. :)

[TammyNC]

OK, today is the 1st day of February and remember we have a few less days this month, so we all need to make sure to get serious with ourselves. I am mainly saying that to myself, but figured that there might be someone else that needed to be reminded too.

Have a great OP day!

[vfb2girls]

Please count me in also on this challege. I sure can use this to get me motivated.

[Good Ol Gal]

Here it is.. the first of February and I already feel like I fell off the wagon!! :(

I took my son to his chess club, held at a local pizza place, last night. The manager came out and asked if we wanted a pizza that was made but cancelled. Well of course we said Yes!

It was about 8pm and there I am. Already had eaten dinner, but just couldn't resist the temptation. It had been probably about 3 weeks since I ate anything big and heavy after 7... but I just pigged out!!

Well now I am suffering for it. My stomach still aches from that stinky pizza (which tasted heavenly!). :ache:

I guess I have learned a lesson....Stop at ONE slice!!!

Elizabeth

[welovedis]

Good Ol Gal-
Well, that was LAST month, today is a whole new day & a whole new month! Those temptations are really hard.

Are we supposed to weigh ourselves today? I ask because I am part of the 'Stay off the scale challenge' and have only been weighing myself on Saturdays. I think I will just start out with my Sat weight from this week (the 5th) and go from there.

Gl to everyone and remember that old WW mantra 'If you do what you always did, you'll get what you always got!". Hope this month brings great rewards from what we'll do right!

[panfan]

I would like to join this one also please!! I joined the January challenge but ended up GAINING in the end!! Today is a new day....February 1st...fresh start! :sunny:

So since I ended up , well UP in January.....I am going to re-commit and try for 5 in February....well actually more.

I know the key for me is the darn EXCERCISE ....so if I can get moving....the healthy eating usually follows and so do the numbers on the scale!!!

Here's to a great month :cheer2:

And GOOD LUCK to everyone!!

[westjones]

Well now I am suffering for it. My stomach still aches from that stinky pizza (which tasted heavenly!). :ache:

Elizabeth

Oh I totally understand! I would have probably done the same thing. I am working SO hard on trying to control my intake. Not so much what I eat, but trying not to eat so much of it.

As you eat smaller portions, I have found that after about 3 weeks you are use to it and won't feel hunger pains, AND if you over eat, you will pay for it the next day with an upset stomach. But if you continue to do that over and over you will once again be able to eat a lot (and start feeling hungry quicker). It really is a balance that can be so easily upset.

Remember, today is a new day! Have a great day!
DJ

[moonfleck]

Count me in.

[Tink&PrincessMom]

[kelyn39]

Yeah I weighed myself this morning for the start of the challenge today and I had lost a pound:) That means I lost 6 in January, lets hope I can do that or better for February!

[geetey]

I am diving in and taking all of the extra motivation these challenges provide! Please put me down for 5 in February!! :banana:

[Debbie]

Okay, so I saw the clippie, and I said, "Oooooooh, I want me one of those, so I guess that I'm in for this. 5 pounds. February is a short month, so I'd better up the workouts, methinks. Hmmmm. Where DID I put those WATP tapes??

[jlawall]

I'm totally in! This was my personal goal for February so it's a great idea!! :teeth:

[westjones]

Isn't the clippie just SOOOO cute! Thank you, Sunny, for making that for us. I sure hope you are around for March to make us a '5 in March' clippie too! You did a great job on both January and February!

The clippie helps remind me all the time to not lose track of my monthly goal.

I tried WISH last year and wasn't able to 'get into it'. But this 5 pound challenge has been great for me. I'm so excited for my next weigh in next week. I hope to have a lose to post!

Welcome everyone who is new!
DJ

P.S. Is anyone else going to Project X this summer? I am hoping that if I stay on this 5 pound track to have dropped a total of 25 pounds by then (of course, I will still have a long say to go, but 25 is 25!).

[SC Minnie]

westjones-- we are going to Project X too!

I weighed Tuesday morning for the 1st times in about 6 months in preparation for this challenge :earseek: . Was not happy! I have gained about 20 pounds in the last year. Anyway, I have been very good this week exercising and watching what I eat and weighed again this morning and was down a little already.

Thanks for the motivation!

Just think, if you lose 5 pounds each month before Project X, you will lose that 20 pounds!

My ULTIMATE goal is to be at my normal weight by March 2006 when we plan to take our next Disney cruise. So I have 14 months until then.

This thread has really helped me not feel so 'alone' in this quest. Glad you joined us!

ME ME ME. This will be my very first challenge. Hope I can keep up w you all. :earsgirl:

[goldcupmom]

My ww wi was today, so I'm now officially ready for my Feb 5. For Jan I was 9.2/5. 5 in Feb will be awesome, but I'm really hoping to make my 10% which would be 8.8 in feb. Good luck all!

[Purrrrfecta]

I am joining in on this one! Count me in!!! :teeth:

[Good Ol Gal]

Hi everyone! I have started my own "challenge" within a challenge!!

I have challenged myself to drink more water.. LOTS more water!! I have been reading that you should drink half your weight in oz of water every day. Holy cow!! That is alot of water for me. I am supposed to drink 91.5oz (I am currently 183) of water every day. I have been going for 9 cups of water, only 72 oz though, each day since the beginning of Feb. I have been feeling better, and don't eat as much through out the day.

Today I am going to try to get up to the 12 glasses! I have incorporated a reward system for myself that my kids are helping with.

I made a picture of a glass and printed "8 oz of water" in the middle of it. I printed 9 glasses out in blue cardstock and put a piece of magnet tape on the back of each one. I hang them on the side of the fridge until I drink 8oz.

Then I let one of the kids move a glass to the front of the fridge. They are loving keeping track of my water intake! It helps me b/c it's a visual reminder of what I have done and how many more to go. I made 3 "bonus" glasses which bring me up to my official intake of 96 oz.

Like I said before, I haven't earned them yet, but I will be trying for them today. I have drank 7 glasses already today, so I think I will be successful!! :)

Two of my kids now want me to make glasses for them to track their water too!

If anyone else wants to join me on this challenge Please do!! I don't have to be the only one swimming in February, LOL!

Talk later and let's all keep working on our 5 in February!!

[plutosmyfav]

Isn't the clippie just SOOOO cute! Thank you, Sunny, for making that for us. I sure hope you are around for March to make us a '5 in March' clippie too! You did a great job on both January and February!

Thank you, DJ and you're welcome!!!! I'd love to make the 5 in March clippie :)

I am so impressed at our Challenger List on the first post. We are quite a group!

Sunny

[tinkcindy]

I am brand new here and yes do count me in on the Feb. challenge.

[Goofydiane]

Count me in for February!

Diane

[kelyn39]

Well I took a couple days off from working out, but still stuck to my good eating habits and drank lots of water. I guess it payed off because I weighed myself today and I already lost a pound:) This 5 for February challege is awesome!!

[kikipug]

I am not even going to officially weigh in yet this month.... off to a VERY bad start, though I haven't gained, so officially I am 0/5. My challenge this month may be not to GAIN 5!!!

[welovedis]

As of today I'm starting out 0/5, I weigh on on Sat (today) so I didn't think I should start mid-week. Lost 4.2 last week though so hopefully by next weekend I'll have some good results to post here!

[TammyNC]

I will do my WI on Tuesday since that will be my actual week. I hope to see a loss, I am trying to stay off the scales until then. It is really tempting to look though. Keep up the great work everyone, we can do this!

[Good Ol Gal]

Hi everyone!!

I weighed myself this morning and am up 1/2 pound. :(

Eventhough I am up, I am ok with it... .for this week! I had that horrible day last Monday at DS chess club, and then we went to Disney On Ice last night.. where I ate too much stale old popcorn and cotton candy!! Then with the Super Bowl last night I had two pieces of pizza. Two too many pieces!!

Now I just have to work a little harder this week to get it back down.

Everyone keep up the hard work and weigh in when you're ready!!

PS. I think that I need to join the stay off the scale challenge.. I just can't stay away from it!!!!!

[westjones]

Just weighed in at Weight Watchers and I am down 3.6 pounds! So hopefully I can take off another 1.4 before the end of the month.
DJ

[Good Ol Gal]

WOW DJ!! You did AWESOME this week!! Congratulations on the 3.6 pounds! :)

[westjones]

WOW DJ!! You did AWESOME this week!! Congratualions on the 3.6 pounds! :)

I should have said that was for 2 weeks (I didn't weigh in last week). I got my 10 pound ribbon today, so that was nice. I have so far to go though, that it is hard to get 'excited'. BUT I am working on 5 pounds a month, and just trying to 'stick to it'.

DJ

[Keokagal]

Hi, lost 1.5. How do I post it? :flower: I can't believe I actually lost! I am such a slowwww loser.

[plutosmyfav]

Hello,
I just had my official WW WI. I am down 2.2 lbs

That makes me 2.2/5

Thanks,
Sunny

[mickmse]

WooHoo I had my weigh in today and I have lost 4 lbs this week so I am 4/5 already.
Trish

[WDWLVR]

Only 1/2 lb. for me so I'm .5/5

Congrats to all of you with losses so far!

[jay-nee]

I am down another 5 lbs since Feb 1st. I only have 9 lbs to go to my goal now.

I can say that this weight loss has been the only upside of my problems with DH. It has put my body under such stress. Now, I need to focus on toning this body of mine... time to dig out the Bowflex!

[TXBelle]

I lost 1 pound this week. That puts me at 1/5. Now to stay away from the chocolate chip cookies that someone brought to work. Ugh! I am stronger than the cookies, I am stronger than the cookies, I am stronger than the cookies! :rolleyes:

[SC Minnie]

I lost 2lbs! :Pinkbounc

I am so excited!

[keenercam]

I lost 1 lb this week. So I am 1/5.
Thought this would be easier, considering I have a TON to lose. I am glad the challenge is for 5 pounds and not 10. Otherwise I would be feeling overwhelmed and more discouraged.

[TammyNC]

I am sooo happy to report that I am at 181 this morning. I started February off at 184 so that puts me at 3/5. I have really been feeling better since I have gotten back on the treadmill and I know that exercise is a big key to my losing.

Keep up the great work everyone. We can do this and lose even more this month as a group than we did last month.

[clr1194]

I lost 1 pound this week putting me at 3/5 for the challenge.

Everyone is doing a great job, keep it up :cheer2:

[kelyn39]

Due to a combo of a really bad haircut and eating well and excercising, I lost another 2 pounds!! That makes me 3/5 for the challenge!! Wow, I'm way ahead of schedule on this!

[Tera]

Well I'm down another 1.8 pounds this week for a total of 3.8/8 for the challenge. I only have one more week for this challenge, so I won't make my goal, but would like to be down a total of 5, so I need to lose 1.2 pounds by next week.


I am such a LOSER!!! I was suppose to post this in the Valentine's Day challenge :( sorry.........

[Baileymouse]

According to weight watchers, I lost 6.6 lbs. this week.

I had gained 9 lbs. over the holidays, going from my low of 189 to 198. Now I'm down to 191.1. I hope that by the end of the month I will be below my 189.

[geetey]

I am happy happy happy to report I have lost 2 pounds this week, bringing me to 2/5 for the February challenge! :banana: :banana:

[4DisneyfansinNC]

I am down 3lbs! YAY! 3/5 :cool1: :banana: :Pinkbounc

[panfan]

FINALLY..... The scale is once again moving in the right direction!!! I am down 2 so far so this puts me at 2/5 . :banana:

Congratulations to all who are doing so well .....lets keep it up !! :cheer2:

[Sandy22]

Geez - I'm into so many challenges now it's hard to keep track!!! I forgot to add myself to this list! So last week I lost 1.5 pounds. My WW weigh-in is tonight so I'll report back later.

[Goofydiane]

Weighed in today. I'm down 3 pounds! So I'm at 3/5 for the month.

Diane

[StitchGirl88]

Just reporting I lost 1 pound so far but I am keeping it up.

[cabmom]

I weighed in on Tues of this week. I too have lost 1 pound. I'm doing the challenge at Curves as well.

Good luck everyone!
Marilynn :banana:

[Good Ol Gal]

Morning everyone! I have updated our current stats. Great job!!

I am still looking for my first pound this month. Maybe I am just waterlogged!! TOM is here and I have been eating choc.chip cookies to *ease the pain*. AGH!! I must stop.. ..quick kids.. have some cookies for breakfast and get them out of the house!!!

[goldcupmom]

My first WI of the month was today. Down .6 . Hopefully will be more next week as this MIGHT be TOM for me. I've stayed totally OP this last week and even exercised on my elliptical 20 min/day, so hopefully that will begin to help soon!!

Good Luck all!! We CAN do this!!

[sap1227]

I lost 3 this week!!!! Over half way there!
Christy

[Good Ol Gal]

I am going to knock my hubby in the head if he comes home with Wendy's, or pizza again!!

He has done this to me three times this week!!!! AGHHH!

Now, he knows that I am working hard during the day to watch what I eat, and then he brings that yummy tasting and smelling food in the house!
And I just don't have the will power to NOT eat any of it!

This morning he said "You are looking good. I can tell that you're losing weight" I replied "Not this week! I am sure the scale will be going up!!"

He promised not to do it anymore, without my permission. :earboy2:

I am glad that you all are doing much better than me!

[Good Ol Gal]

I lost 3 this week!!!! Over half way there!
Christy

Great job Christy! :Pinkbounc

[Tink&PrincessMom]

I've lost 5 so far this month!!

[cra-z-4-dizney]

Add me please, I am on a roll!!

[MelanieC]

I lost 1.8 at WI on 2/14 so I am

3/5 now!

[johde]

OK when I weighted myself this morning I was down to 290.6. That gives my 3/5 so far this month. Only .6 more until my next clippie.

[kikipug]

11 days into the month, and I am down 1 measly pound:guilty: ... oh well- I guess its better than being up.

[westjones]

11 days into the month, and I am down 1 measly pound:guilty: ... oh well- I guess its better than being up.

It is better than being up, and you still have more than half of the month left, so you can still make the challenge!

Hang in there! :flower:

It's my own fault... haven't exercised much at all, and DH has worked late every night this month... so meals tend to be on the run or not as healthy as they should be. Plus, it's Speedweeks here, so diet and exercise go by the wayside, in favor of racing.

[welovedis]

I weighed in on Sat (first full week since my last weigh day) and I am down 3.4 pounds! Yippee!

[MickeySP]

WOOHOO!! I met the 5 and so far 4 more, 9 altogether so far. The training I am doing for the Marathon is so great.

[r3ngels]

I haven't lost in 2 weeks I am getting a little frustrated but I guess staying the same is better than gaining :rolleyes: but for 2 weeks.

So I am still 0/5.

Here's hoping for a good week. :goodvibes

[Debbie]

Ugh! I'm with you, Lisa. Not a pound. Oh, well, I'm enjoying the clippie for this month, anyway. I'll try harder this week, too. :)

[Figaro1]

I will give this a try, so count me in! So far this month I have lost 4/5 pounds! Lets hope they do not 'find me' by the end of this month :teeth:

[Yardbird]

3/5 for me. However, I just had an early Valentine lunch at Outback, and there is no way I'm weighing in again for fear of "two steps back." Tomorrow is another day. I'll keep my fingers crossed that no one at work brings in chocolates! :love:

[tarmand]

Okay, I didn't have a WW meeting last week due to Mardi Gras so in the last two weeks..........

I've gained a pound!

:confused3

[plutosmyfav]

Hello,

Just back from WW WI. I'm down another .8 lbs. That puts me at 3.0/5.0

Thank you :)

Sunny

[tinkcindy]

I am down 1 pound. So that's 1/5. I WISH it was more. I have been eating well but need to add exercise into my plan. Although not having as big a weight loss as I had hoped for this week will help me stay on track when I go out for Valentine's tonight.

[mickmse]

Ok I am down 4 more pounds this week so that makes me 8/5 now.Yippee..

[WDWLVR]

Down another 1/2 lb. so I'm now 1/5

Scale isn't moving as fast as I'd like, but it is moving!

[clr1194]

Gained a pound this week, that takes me down to 2/5. I'm about to the point of giving up! :headache:

[keenercam]

Weighed in this morning (Tuesday morning is a weird time to WI, isn't it?) -- lost 2.5, so I am 3.5/5. YIPPEE!!!

[TammyNC]

Gained a pound this week, that takes me down to 2/5. I'm about to the point of giving up! :headache:

Please don't give up, you have too many people cheering you on. Things may not always go as planned, but if you can get back on track as quickly as possible, you will feel so much better. Everyone doesn't lose at the same pace and you might have had water retention when you did your WI. You could have eaten something that had a lot of sodium in it that would have had you retaining fluid.

I'm begging you not to give up. You can do this along with everyone else. I have true faith that you can. Start thinking positive thoughts. I'm sending :wizard: your way to help you feel better. I'm also :cheer2: you on. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!

[clr1194]

Thank you Tammy! I am not going to give up, I'm just really frustrated right now. I stayed on program perfectly and exercised 5 of 7 days last week and I gained. :confused3

I told myself before I went to weigh in that if I stayed the same it would be OK, but I did not talk to myeslf about gaining. Guess I should have. My clothes seem looser that should be all that matters, unfortunately that is not the case.

Next week will be better.

[Keokagal]

:goodvibes lost 1.5 for a total 3/5. and a total ww x3wks 5.5. slow but moving.

[jay-nee]

another .5 lbs, so that is 5.5 down for this challenge!

Only 8.5 to goal!!!!!

[clr1194]

Keokagal - Congratulations on the 1.5 loss, WTG! :flower:

jay-nee - How exciting, only 8.5 to goal. You'll be there in no time!!! :banana:

[TXBelle]

I am down another pound this week. That's 2/5. I have lost more inches though. In the past month, I have lost 5 inches around my waist and 7 inches around my hips. Woo hoo! :cheer2:

[jay-nee]

I am so psyched to see the light at the end of the tunnell! :) :)

[TammyNC]

I just did my WI and it wasn't anything to jump up and down about, but I did lose .5 of a pound. That puts me at 3.5/5. I was feeling real puffy today, I think I had too much salt yesterday. Oh well, that is the way it goes, at least I went down some.

I just know I have to work harder this week. Keep up the great work everyone!

[4DisneyfansinNC]

5/5! YAY! Let's hope the # goes up again next week and not down. :cool1:

[Good Ol Gal]

Whoa... two weeks into it and I am back at my starting weight :(!!

I had a rough start to February.. but at least I am on the downward side again. I can official take that +/5 off my tracking!!

clr1194... don't get too discouraged. I know how hard it can be!! Just start anew and go from there!

4DisneyfansinNC.... Congratulations on meeting the challenge!! :cool1: You did it!!

Let's keep up the hard work and do our best!

[Good Ol Gal]

I have updated the totals as of today!! We are doing so great!! Total weight loss of the group is already 97.2 pounds!! WOW!!

Way to go everyone!

[westjones]

Those are great numbers! Way to go everyone! And if you are struggling, please hang in there! It will be worth it!

OK... I am sitting here trying to keep myself focused on NOT eating the cake we made today!!

I have lots of weaknesses in life, and cake..chocolate cake... is one of them! lol

My kids have been begging to make one and I have been putting it off b/c I don't want to be tempted like I am. Well I realized that I shouldn't punish them because I can't make good decisions.

So here I am.....I did take a taste off of the knife after cutting them all a piece. You know, the left over frosting on it. But I DID NOT get myself a piece! I am going to have to make good decisions for myself here.

I just needed to get away from the kitchen and put my mind back in the right place.. with my February 5 Buddies.

Oh that it a tough one for me too, chocolate cake. As long as I don't eat the first piece, I'm okay. One is never enough for me.

Chocolate cake is really yucky anyway. Brown is NOT a good color for food. ;)

[Keokagal]

Hi good ol gal. I know how haaaaarrrd it is not to eat choc cake. Would a 2x2" piece work? This past w/e I baked like mad for my daughter in college. 80 cookies, 24 cupcakes, 16 brownies. I am doing ww so I chose 1 cupcake and 1 brownie for separate days. 6 and 5 points! Kinda high but I did not eat 4 brownies 3 cupcakes and a dozen cookies t/o the day. It worked this time, why, I don't know. It doesn't always work. I'm starting to lose so I will continue to work the program. Sending you good wishes. :sunny:

[Goofydiane]

weighed in today and down 3.8 from last time. I think that puts me at 6.8/5 for the month!

Diane

[r3ngels]

Good Job on saying no to that EVIL cake... you are stronger than that cake.

[westjones]

I have to admit to eating a few pieces of candy that my kids brought home from their Valentine's Day party at school. This is a hard time, but now we have a few weeks before EASTER sneaks up on us (and more yummy candy).

At least the candy is all gone now! Chocolate cake does sound SO good! But I will have it on my cruise in March 2006 with my new skinny body that I will have in just 13 more months (I hope!).
DJ

[Good Ol Gal]

Thanks for all the encouragement everyone!! It really did help me. I held off and am feeling good in my decision not to eat a piece today.

Maybe if I want one I can have it tomorrow at lunch so I can have all day to burn those calories off, and not have them camp out for months to come lol!

And if I do choose to have one, it will be a nice small piece like you suggested Keokagal. I am lucky with homeschooling, no class parties with all the treats brought home.

LOL! I hadn't thought of that! We homeschooled our girls through 4th grade, and only put them in school this past October.

Actually, for me, it has helped having the kids out of the house all day. Seeing them eat 'good' stuff made it hard for me to resist. I am doing better being home by myself.....but those parties can make it hard. I doubt that they have another one until the end of the year, so maybe I am safe for awhile. :rolleyes:

Oh! BTW, tonight on WifeSwap, there will be a homeschool mom swapping with another mom. The homeschool mom happens to be on a Yahoo Group I moderate called Homeschool Travel (I know, I don't homeschool anymore, but I still moderate the group). I am sitting here waiting for it to come on. Just thought you might be interested in it too.

Down one more! That's 3/5 for the month!

Wiegh In Today: Down another 3.8 for a total of 7.4 for the month.

I am thrilled that I made my goal for the month (and we still have 10 more days)! I won't be weighing in again until March though, so I hope we have a March Challenge too!

I'm excited, but I feel like I still have such a LONG way to go (need to still lose 45 pounds).

I hope to lose another 15-20 before our trip in June, and I would LOVE to see the rest of it gone before our next cruise in March 2006.

So I guess it is onward and downward for me too!
DJ

[ZerasPride]

Hi guys,

I'm so sorry I haven't checked in on the February challenge. I've been having some weight issues. Mainly it's the 2.5 pound gain I found myself at on Monday. I made a decision that I was going to do something about it before it got out of hand, especially considering I wasn't cheating on my program. I had read about Oprah's 12 week boot camp challenge and joined. Well I'm happy to report that not only do I have my weight loss focus and determination back, but I'm down 4.5 pounds from Monday's weight as of this morning! This is a great but tough program and I'm so glad I decided to take the plunge and participate. I am now down below my signature weight and at 99.5 pounds lost I'm just 1/2 pound away from my 100 pound clippie. I won't claim any of this weight loss until Sunday on official weigh in day.

I want to say a special great big thanks to Good Ol Gal for taking the reigns and doing such a wonderful job with the February lose 5 challenge. Congrats to all the big losers this month! Hopefully, I'll be back Sunday with a loss that sticks!

[westjones]

I saw that show! I am just not ready to exercise so much. I know at some point I will have to add that in, but I really REALLY HATE exercise! Probably why I am overweight.

Congrats on your weight lose! That is fantastic! Let us know when you get that 100 clippie! How exciting!

DJ

[MelanieC]

Oops, looks like my update was missed.


I am 3 /5 now.

[Good Ol Gal]

So sorry :( :( to cra-z-4-dizney and MelcanieC!!
I will update your loss right now!!


DJ(westjones) CONGRATS on your loss so far!! Way to GO!! Wow.. over 3 1/2 pounds each week!! You are doing so great! I can't even seem to get rid of one a week. :) You will be looking mighty fine on your cruise next year I am sure!!

Lisa(ZerasPride) I am looking forward to finally updating your loss with us here! You are doing so great with your new program. You are going to succeed with your Butt..oops I mean Boot camp!! And only 5 pounds from your 100 clippie!!! Holy Canolli!! That is so great!! Let us alll know when you change it!

[Good Ol Gal]

Weighed in this morning. I am now up to 5.9/5 for February. I am now also sporting my new clippie.

Ohh Jeremy... You look soooo goood with your new clippie!!! YEAH!!

[Good Ol Gal]

Thread updated as of Friday, Feb 18 5pm...

Let's all have a great weekend!!

[Figaro1]

I'm happy to say that increasing my exercising and watching my diet has worked this month for me! I have never exercised so much, it has not been easy. I need to just put my mind to it, it is a mental thing to push myself.

For this months challenge I'm 6/5 Yea!!!!! :cheer2:

WISH has helped me to stay focused, my thanks to all.

[welovedis]

Just checking in, I'd down another 1.6 pounds as of today-yippee!!! So I think I am over my goal of 5, I think I'm at 5.1 lbs down so far, yeah!

[DisneyEnthusiastic]

I almost forgot to post my weight loss so far for February...so far it's 2.5 lbs! Halfway there with a week to go....don't know if I'll make it..but I'm gonna try :goodvibes

[Debbie]

All righty, I seem to be in a holding pattern. I had gained some this month, and this morning, I think that the scale said that I was back where I started the month. (Darn thing read something different every time that I stepped on it--6 times!)

So, I have a week to make sure that I DON'T gain! I have a week for the Whoosh fairy to come and WHOOSH 5 pounds :rotfl: or I have a week to say to heck with it.

I choose # 1! (Well, #2 would be great, but I have better WISHes to make.)

Have a good week, everyone! See you at the end of the month.

[kikipug]

This month is just a total bust for me... I am going to write off Feb, be glad that I maintain, and try again for March.

[ZerasPride]

Hi guys,

I'm making my first reported loss for the month. After 1 week on Oprah's challenge I'm down 6 pounds! That's the good news. Unfortunately, I was up 2.5 pounds from my loss in January so I am claiming the difference as my loss so far for the month which would be 3.5 pounds so I'm 3.5/5 which I'm just thrilled with it considering I was either maintaining or gaining (which is never a good thing when you're trying to lose weight) this month.

We've got one more week to make it so I wish everyone the best! Thanks so much Good Ol Gal for keeping track for all of us. You're awesome!

[mickmse]

Ok it was weigh in day again today. I lost another 4 pounds which brings me to 12/5.

[Good Ol Gal]

A BIG CONGRATULATIONS goes out to ZerasPride for her new clippie...
100 POUNDS!!! WHOO HOO!!!!

[r3ngels]

I so pleased to say I am down 4.5/5 for the month. The Oprahs boot camp has been kickin' my booty in shape. :cool1:

Hope everyone has a great week. :goodvibes

[TammyNC]

Everyone is doing great. We still have what 8 days to meet our goal? I will have my WI on Wednesday. I am hoping for a lower number. I didn't do as well over the weekend as I feel like I should have. I am not focusing on that though, but on today and what I need to change. Keep up the great work!!!

[nuke]

I'm at 3/5 as of this past Saturday. Hopefully this will be a good week. :)

[Keokagal]

oh happy day! down another pound for 4/5. tried the new ww ice cream sundae cones for 2pts. pretty good. hit my sweet spot. :teeth:

[tarmand]

Okay, I didn't have a WW meeting last week due to Mardi Gras so in the last two weeks..........

I've gained a pound!

:confused3

I weighed in today and ................

I lost 5.2 lbs! That's a total of 4.2 for the month since I gained 1 lb last week.

[WDWLVR]

Down a pound from last week so I'm 2/5. Know I won't make the challenge, but I'm glad I took part!

[jay-nee]

I lost 1.5 lbs to bring my total weight loss to 30 lbs! My loss for this challenge is 7/5.

I am so psyched! Obly 7 lbs to go to my goal!!!!! yippee!

[keenercam]

Hi, guys! Well, the scale was a bit inconsistent this morning, but the "majority" of readings read down 1.5 bringing me to 5/5 for February so far, with one week to go! I have to tell you, though, the inches are certainly dropping! I have already dropped a pant size, even though I have only lost 9 pounds total since 1/17/05.

Congrats to everyone who is doing this! And thank you all for your support!

[westjones]

Down a pound from last week so I'm 2/5. Know I won't make the challenge, but I'm glad I took part!

Hey, you are less than you were last month! Hang in there! I am hoping we do this challenge again next month. I really like this one. So maybe you can do it again next month and make the challege in March! There is always another month. Just take one day at a time.

DJ

[clr1194]

I am happy to say that I am down 3.5 pounds this week. That takes me to 5.5/5 for the challenge. Now if I can just keep it off for next week.

I hope everyone has a great week!! :cheer2:

[tinkcindy]

Hey all.
I am down 4.5 for this month. That makes me 5.5/5.
I am psyched and a little scared. I have never lost that much in one week and am fearful it will pop back up.
Although I have been doing pretty well for 3 weeks with only a 1 lost until now.
I have been really watching food (following Dr. Phil as for protein,etc per day) and not eating after 7:30.
I have got to add the exercise so I can keep loosing.
Your posts really help to keep me motivated.
I'll post again on Sat. for the month as I go to Daytona for a Conference next week. I am going to call the Conference and make sure I signed up for lowfat meals so I can stay on target.
I do get to spend Sun afternoon shopping at Downtown Disney. I can hardly wait for that part of the week.

[TammyNC]

I did my WI this morning and I am the same as last week. Still at 180.5 so that puts me at 3.5/5 for the month so far. I am really going to try hard the next week and hopefully I can lose the 1.5 to meet the challenge. I will do my next WI on Monday the 28th (last day of challenge).

Way to go everyone, I have to say that it is great that we are still willing to come to the thread and post even when we gain or don't lose. That means that we are serious about wanting to get healthy.

I do hope that we do this again in March. I think that the incentive helps a lot and then there is so much motivation and inspiration on the thread.

Here's sending PD to everyone on their WI's.

[TXBelle]

I am down another pound this week. That puts me at 3/5. I am really going to try to lose that 2 pounds before March 1st! Just losing one pound a week is frustrating, but I guess I should look at the bigger picture. If I keep losing a pound a week, I will be at my goal in 23 weeks (or approximately 6 months).

Have a great week everyone! :flower:

[Goofydiane]

Weighed in today. Down 2.8! that makes it 9.6 for the month...WooHoo...now, I just need to not gain it all back at disneyland the next 2 weekends and attending a conference during the week. My first challenge without having my food to cook for 10 days. YIKES.

[DisneyEnthusiastic]

As of today...I am 5/5!! So I'm at goal!

[Sandy22]

I lost another 1.5 pounds so my total so far is 3 out of 5. Slow but steady!

[tinkcindy]

Reporting today because I head to Daytona tomorrow for a Conference. I do get to spend tomorrow afternoon at Downtown Dis. (Yeah)
I have lost another 1/2 pound. So that makes me 6 for the month.
I am happy. This board keeps me on track.
Thanks to all.
Hey are we doing a March challenge?

[Good Ol Gal]

Two more days to go in February!!! The totals have been updated.. if you haven't posted your 3rd week losses you can still do!

I will update again this past week. I know that some of us have WI days on Mondays/Wednesdays, etc. I will do the final update on Friday, March 4th to give everyone time to post their final WI for February!!

We had 53 challengers sign-up at the beginnning of the challenge and so far 39 of us have reported a loss in February!! Great job everyone! :)

I hope that we can do this again in March. Anyone want to take a turn running it?

[Debbie]

:wave2: Thanks, Elizabeth for doing this. Well, no WHOOOSH for me, but at least I did lose (most of) what I had gained back, so I guess that I will count this as a maintenance month :rolleyes: Can't see where even a pound will be lost by tomorrow. [sigh]

Ah, well, I'm considering the fact that I had a lot of Real Life happenings this month, and as a result, I am totally exhausted. As the snow melts (it WILL do that, right???) I'm hoping to get back to my walking. Curves is more on track-even though this week I only made it once- and our eating is getting better since DH has been to the dietician for his diabetes.

So, I'm disappointed, but I can live with the results of my month. Thanks again! :flower:

[Figaro1]

For this February challenge I have lost 8/5!!!!! Yea, lots of exercise and balanced diet have worked!!!!! :cheer2:

[Purrrrfecta]

my totals are 9/5 for the month! 19 lbs in all since Jan 6!!

[nuke]

I ended up at 4.2/5. :flower:

[jay-nee]

I did my WI today for this challenge and i am down another lb! So I lost a total of 8 lbs this month!

Only 6 more to goal!

[Keokagal]

OK, I am a slow loser. I did 4/5 for the challenge. This is great for me. Give me another challenge for March. I need to keep losin. :flower:

[mickmse]

Ok I didi my weigh in this morning and I am down 5 more lbs which makes it a total loss of 17/5 for the month of Feb.

[WDWLVR]

I'm afraid I only made it half way to 2.5 lbs. - no loss for me this last week. Still it is 2.5 more pounds lost and I'll take it!

[MickeySP]

I am happy with February I am down 1 more pound today.

So I am 19/5 - can't wait for March! :cool1:

[westjones]

I am happy with February I am down 1 more pound today.

So I am 19/5 - can't wait for March! :cool1:

Wow! I love you 100 Clippie! That is so great!

I hope to do this again in March. I have met (surpassed) the 5 pound goal in January and February, I hope to do that again in March.

Congrats everyone! Looks like we had a great month!
DJ

[TammyNC]

I just did my WI and after last week, wasn't sure that I'd make it. I really buckled down last week and thankful that I did. I got on the scale and it said 179.0. I got off and on three different times to make sure and it kept coming to that number. So I did make my goal for the month and I am so happy so I was 5/5 for the month of February.

I can't wait until March, if I can just continue to lose at least 5 pounds a month, I will be very happy.

Way to go everyone on your great reports this morning. Keep up the great work. I haven't checked the boards yet, I hope there will be another challenge in March. These challenges are keeping me motivated.

[johde]

When I weighed in this morning I was down to 284.8 making my total for February 9/5.

Here is my final update: 5.2/5.0 I made it!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for doing such a great job with the challenge!

Sunny

[panfan]

Just wanted to report that I didn't quite make the 5 lbs but I did loose 4 ...so my total for Feb. is 4/5.

Thanks!
And congratulations to all who lost !!!
You all are doing great!

[TammyNC]

Is anyone up for another Lose 5 in March challenge? I know the St. Patty's Day challenge is going on, but it could be done in conjunction with a March one. Let me know and if there is anyone interested and no one else has started one, I'll try to get a thread going. If we do, would anyone be willing to create a new clippie?

[clr1194]

Gained a pound this week, that takes me to 4.5/5. Only half a pound under, not too bad.

TammyNC, I would be interested in a March challenge. I'll shoot for 5 again!!

[keenercam]

My total is 6.5/5!

[kelyn39]

Time for my final update!!

5/5!!!

I'm so happy and amazed that I actually made goal and lost 5 pounds last month:) Thank you all so much for your support!!

[westjones]

Sunny (plutosmyfav) has made the clippies for Jan and Feb.

How about it, Sunny? Can we get a new one for March? The other clippies have been beautiful! Thanks for doing them!

I have updated the totals as of this morning, March 1st.

Great Job everyone!!

I look forward to doing this again in March!!!!

I have started a March challenge thread, Good Ol Gal, if you would like to take it over, please feel free. I didn't want you to think I was taking it away from you. You have done an amazing job and if you don't take it over, may I copy the way you have been doing things?

BTW, I am a Homeschool Mom too!!

[Baileymouse]

I didn't have internet access for over a week (I'm back now!) but I lost 9 lbs. total for the month of February :banana:
