I'm going for GOAL and i want 8.5 lbs to shed by Valentines day? The prize is a new clippe for me and a new start to maintance life! I'm so excited i did fairly decent over the holidays and kinda been on the fence since the middle of November anyone else want to give some pounds up to the Valentines Cupid to take with him forever when he visits on the 14th of Feb? I sure do so there 8.5 lbs for me. Who's coming with me?

Count me in on this one.

I would like to get to my 30 lb clippie. My goal is to lose 9 lbs by Valentine's Day.

 

[PartyofSix]

Way to GO! Paula. You can so do it. We'll do it together. I also plan to exercise 15 mintues every day as a minimum.

 

[DoeWDW]

I'd love to have my 15 pound clippie by then. That's only 2 more pounds to lose for me, but I'm getting closer to goal and I have a Disney trip the week before Valentine's Day!

I've started training for the 2005 WDW half marathon, so that will definitely kick my exercise up a notch!

 

[JoshMom5]

I have been walking 30 minutes every day at lunch and I want to keep that up, plus doing a video or working with my hand weights at home.

I will join you on this, I am approx. 7.5 from my comfort goal weight. I want to get these off and be back to truly maintaining. It has really been tough since Thanksgiving and I'm ready to be completely back on track.

DoeWDW-I am also getting geared up to start training for the 1/2 Marathon in 2005. What training program are you using, one you came up with or one you found on-line? Just curious because I'm not really sure how I want to approach it.

Thanks for the challenge.

 

[ADisneyMom]

Ok, I'm in!


I want to lose 10 by Valentine's Day.Once I get those off I will focus on maintaining.

To me that will be overwhelming. A time when I won't be thinking about losing weight but staying at my current weight.

I didn't reach my goal for Thanksgiving only lost 3 but now I'm going for the final goal.

Like DoeWDW I have started training for the 2005 WDW half marathon and I am going to really get in gear.

Thanks for the challenge.

I have 9 lbs to lose to hit goal and I had already said to myself to do so by Valentine's Day would be awesome!

[Hannosmom]

Count me in. I want to lose 10#'s by Valentines Day and get my 25# clippie. Plus I promised I would get off my buns and get some of this fluff off.

I would love to have my 75lb clippie by Valentines day, so that gives me 15lbs to lose. I think that I may be pushing hard to get to that, but it gives me something to work toward. Thanks POS for coming up with this challenge, as these challenges really seem to work for me.

 

[sadeeyore]

Hi
Count me in too please. I'm hoping for 10lbs loss before Valentines. Thanks for the challenge

I'd like to get my 15 pound clippie by Valentine's Day. I have 8 pounds to lose to get to that point. I'm currently 'up' a couple of pounds since I earned the 10 pound clippie [shhhhh]. So, put me down for 8 pounds! [I am currently at 215].

 

[lulu201]

Aww gee, I'm not quite sure about this, but put me down for a 12 lb. loss by Valentine's Day, please. I'd like to have my 30 lb. clippie by then. I'm training for the half marathon, too, and I hope that all the walking I'm doing is going to help the weight melt right off me!

Good luck, everyone. We're going to be moving onward and downward together!

[kayeandjim00]

I'm in for 10 lbs too! That would make me eligible for my 40 lb clippie!

 

[PartyofSix]

Wow! Look at all my loser friends up for a new year and a NEW challenge! This is great now i'm not alone for goal. Look at all these go getters we have here amongst us! I know we can do it. (as she chews her last allowed toostie roll of the day ) I am so excited about having you all come with me.

Okay now lets get the numbers game going. We have exactly 43 days to meet our goals and i'll post a check in to VD thread every friday morning. Okay so i'm sitting at 145 just for the record. I want to see 136.5 and my 100 lb clippee!

 

[helenk]

Count me in, I would like to be 199 by Valentine's day, I need to lose 11 pounds to get there. This is a doable goal for me!

 

[TeresaNJ]

I'll go for this one!! I've been a big slacker for the past six months, and finally went back to WW, which is the only program that seems to work for me. I'd like to reach my 10% weight loss by Valentine's Day, which is 15 lbs. This gives me something to reach for, and incentive to do it!

 

[mowsie dreamer]

I'm jumping in here, too! I seem to lose more slowly than some, so I'll go for 5 pounds by Valentines Day!!

Thanks for starting this, Tammy. It's lots more fun when we do this together!!

Edited to say:

Hmmmmmm. Wonder what DH's reaction will be when I tell him I'm going to check in on the VD thread????
