OK Aaron, put me down for 2.4 lbs. I know that's a small amount, but I'm getting close to goal, and the challenge is still a big enough incentive for me to show some control.
OK, put me down for 5.8 lbs Aaron. I'd like to say more, but I'm trying to be reasonable for 4 weeks. That would put me at 192. I think these shorter term goals work better for me. Maybe that's part of why I do better during this time of year? Less time to procrastinate.
put me down for 2 pounds. not a lot, i know. but i tend to lose 2 pounds then gain 1 back so i don't want to be too hopeful. it's not even 4 full weeks so i want to be realistic! i only have 7 pounds to go until i reach my goal and the loss has SLOWED down big time!!!
I can totally relate! In 2007, I lost about 30 pounds. Last year, I lost a little under 15. If that trend continues, the best I can hope for is 7.5. in 2009. Which would barely put me where I was before Christmas!
I am abstaining from weight challenges. My challenge is to continue with good habits! 1200 calories, under 20g carbs, 64+ oz water, exercise 5 times a week, no alcohol.
Faith, thanks. I really re-committed Feb 1 and I am seeing results. So far I am down 8.4 lbs this month.
My v-day weekend was spent playing 4 hockey games and score keeping for 3 more, so I didn't have much time to even think about candy. And since I have gone no-alcohol for the month, I went to the bar after one game and drank water and ate salad. Whee!
Mr Kat thankfully doesn't subscribe to v-day either. I think we did say happy v-day in the 20 min or so that we saw each other on Sat (I had 7:30AM and 7PM games and was scorekeeping until 11PM, and he worked 9-6).
Oh, and the first half of the year I don't seem to have much trouble losing... this year I need to stop from gaining it all back the 2nd half of the year!

I seem to do a better job losing the first half of the year too! Why IS that? I'm thinking we should have a New Years in July here on the Peep thead and pretend we're starting over again. Think that would work?

I'm totally with you! I can't figure out why I do better the first half of the year. I know there's a lot of food opportunities in summer, but I do better with temptation at the first of the year too. I think I do better with shorter challenges too. Does anyone else feel that way?
Facebook Peeps - I just added a page for my photography business if you'd like to check it out/become a fan. Shameless plug, I know, but I feel like a dork with only one fan, and it's me.

Hi I'm new, can I join in?? I am currently doing WW but do not plan to forever. I am trying more for a lifestyle change. Also wanting to teach my girlies about being healthy not on a diet.
I read back a little and see that a new challenge is on ending on March 13-so Aaron can go eat for his wife's bday
I am about 10lb away from goal-which I hope to reach by our trip in May. The last 10lb is hard.
So, I think I tell Aaron to "put me down for 2.5lb" I hope to do more but am realistic. Is there anything else I need to do???
