Valentines Day Check IN Week feb 6-13th

[PartyofSix]

Okay this is it we are on the back strecth of this challenge girls. How ya doing? I'm not doing to hot i'm stalled at the moment at 140 just can't seem to get back down to the 3's again. Must but my sweet thooth. I'm going to put my best foot forward and strive hard this last week to get to goal maybe not by next friday but soon. This has been tough struggling with these last pounds esp when my sweet husband is saying your body is telling you that's enough it's happy at 140! I just want to see goal even if it's only for a while. So how are you guys doing?

I did not do well in January it seems I really stalled last month, so I am only 5/11. I know I will not make my goal, but I am heading in the right direction. There is still one more week, hopefully I will down one or two pounds by next week.

I maintained again this week. It could be worse, at least it's not a gain. But after several weeks of very sloooooow progress, I was hoping for a better showing this week. I'm at 4/5 for goal, so it could still happen. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Tons of for all of us, for a good finish to the challenge this week!

3 pounds gone this week, which puts me at 11/15 for the challenge. I might make it by next Friday, but if not, I certainly gave it my best shot!

Great job, everyone - we might not make our goals, but we're healthier than we were a month ago nonetheless! Sounds pretty good to me.

I'm down 1.5 this week, so it is 9.5/10. Hopefully I can make it to my new clippie next week.

I just want to say to all of you who have been struggling, please don't give up. Those of you who are close to goal, I know that it's very hard to stick it out (or at least I've heard , never been close to goal myself), but please stick with it. It may not happen today, or tomorrow; but it WILL happen.

For me, having over a 100 pounds to lose, watching you guys stick with it and make goal, means sooooo much to me. It means there is hope for me, and hope is everything. So if you have to lose a 100 lbs or 10 lbs, know that every pound you lose, not only makes you a little lighter, but makes my life a little lighter too.

And I second the pixie dust for everyone!

Hi
I am so excited today. I have lost 3lbs which puts me at 8/10 for this challenge.

It also puts me into ONDERland. I know I had aimed at ONDERland by Christmas - better late than never .
I am so happy I know I wouldn't have been able to do it without WISH and my WISH buddies. Thanks to everyone for making WISH a great place to come to
Hope everyone has a great week
Helen

I don't actually weigh in until Sunday but I just had to say CONGRATULATIONS to my WISH buddy Helen on her jump into Onderland!!! I am so excited for you!! Keep up the GREAT WORK!!

 

[Hannosmom]

Yaaaaayyyyyy Helen!!!!!!

 

[tiggerlover]

I am only down .4 this week, so that puts me at 6/9.8 (10) . Since I signed up to take the challenge until the 18th (my 1 year anniversary) I have 11 days to lose 3.8 pounds, not sure if it will happen with the way the scale has been moving, but I am working on it.

Congratulations losers and maintainers! And a great BIG congrats to sadeeyore for reaching onderland!!!

 

[honeymo78]

I am so happy to report that I lost 1lb this week which brought me to my valentine's goal of 170. Woohoo

 

[kayeandjim00]

The Evil Bloat Fairy is visiting so I'm up .4 of a lb which makes me 6.2/10. I don't think I'll make my goal but I'll push hard to have a good finish!

 

[mommyflower]

I wanted to post sooner, but something was wrong with my computer. I didn't think I was going to make it any where close to goal because I have been stuck gaining and losing the same pound for a while. Well I got on the scale yesterday magically the numbers dropped. I lost 3 pounds this week. That makes me 3.5/5. It must be that disney magic starting a little early (we leave for our disney cruise in 2 1/2 weeks)! I just feel so excited and motivated now!!! Good luck this week everyone!

Congrats Helen!!!

 

[sadeeyore]

Thank you so much Kaye, tiggerlover, Hannosmom and Mommyflower for the congratulations. I am so happy in ONDERland.
We are all doing really great
Helen

I maintained this week, still at 3/8. At least I didn't gain, especially since the bloat fairy is visiting a little early this month. I don't think I'll make my goal for VD but I am hoping to make that goal by the following week when we go up north for a visit to my sister and brother-in-law who we haven't seen since Oct. It would be nice if there was a difference in me that they could see!

Congratulations to sadeeyore and honeymo78 for the great week you both had! Keep up the great work these last days of the challenge everyone!!

[bubie2.5]

I'm now 8.25/11. I don't think I'll lose 2.25 in five days, but at least I'll be motivated to try.

 

[ohMom]

i must be hormonal. I had tears in my eyes reading the first few check-ins. Hannosmom you are SO right and so kind to share your thoughts and inspirations. sadeeyore I am so PROUD of you! You have made this challenge count and be important and you are reaping the rewards!!

i am in the group that will probably not have the number on friday to meet my VD challenge -- but I too am finally moving in the right direction since January and I feel sooooo much better everyday b/c of my healthy choices! If that's what I gain from this challenge, i'll take it!

official report on friday from me -- I haven't weighed since last friday and I still had 6.5 lbs to go. highly unlikely

 

[Hannosmom]

OhMom, you are such a sweetie! Hugs

 

[PartyofSix]

Just got a chance to come by and read all this inspiring posts. A big congradulations to Helen onederland is a beautiful place my dear friend i'm so happy you are visiting it! As for you guys how awesome are you look at most of you either hitting or AT your goal. We still have a few more day to give it our best shot. I will post our last check in "week" for those that weight on later than saturday you still count! So don't stop on friday. As for me i'm doing a sorry job i've been eating like a fool and gained back 4 of my lbs lost. But not really some of it was eating silly and way to many sweetie but some of it is because i have joined a gym and now work out 4 days and i just am getting started so i'm hoping that is some of my problem.LOL I really wanted to be at goal but I'm taking it like i can get it. I'm toning and scuplting now for my beach body i dream of. LOL

 

[ADisneyMom]

First BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE!.

I did not make goal, in fact instead of downward I went upward.


No excuses for me. I will now get back on track.

I have not reached my ultimate goal, so back to work.


Since I went up I know there is no way for me to reach my goal by Saturday so I figured I might as well post now, while I have time, busy time for me right now as it is tax season.


Thanks for the support.

I am down another lb this week. I won't make my goal of getting my 30 lb clippie but I am on my way. I am 5/9 for the challenge, but that does make me 5 lbs lighter than when we started.

Woo hoo!

Also, a special CONGRATS again to Helen who WISHed her way into ONEderland.

An ovation for Helen-
