Meekness29 · 12-28-2007, 09:01 AM

Hi I'm looking for a few good soldiers to join me in a Valentine's Day Challenge. Anyone interested? If so, let's get started

Please post your start weight/goal.

Thanks,

Meekness

Meekness29 · 12-28-2007, 09:20 AM

bump!

jacee · 12-28-2007, 10:11 AM

Hi Meekness. The 100 days till 2008 challenge is ending in 3 more days, so this looks like a great place to be! I'd love to be 15 lbs. lighter by Valentine's Day.

Jacee

Meekness29 · 12-28-2007, 11:00 AM

Hi Jacee, thanks for dropping in... please invite the others from 100 Days Till 2008 challenge board.

Meekness

txjewel · 12-28-2007, 12:27 PM

Hi Meekness. I have been wondering where you went to - missed your inspirational quotes. I am joining in here. I would love to have 10 pounds gone FOREVER by Valentines.

Meekness29 · 12-28-2007, 12:29 PM

TxJewel

I'm glad your joining. Please invite the others

Happy New Year!!!!

lildragonfly · 12-28-2007, 12:48 PM

Im in on this!!! I want to get to my goal and get in my hot jeans!!

Meekness29 · 12-28-2007, 01:05 PM

Thanks for joining girl... the author on the other thread rolled out! So, I thought I would start a V-Day challenge. I know there are MANY on the induction tread. I believe this is the first one on this site of LCF.

VGrace · 12-28-2007, 01:30 PM

I am in! My current weight is 150. I hope to be down to 145-140lbs.

loves2sing · 12-28-2007, 04:57 PM

Okay, count me in, too. Thanks, Meekness.

I'm on day 4 of Induction, not in ketosis yet. (Sigh... postmenopausal body... sigh...)

I'm 163 today. Goal for Valentine's Day: 148.

mothermavis · 12-28-2007, 05:30 PM

I'm in. 152 today, 139 by Valentine's Day

newfocus · 12-29-2007, 07:27 AM

I normally don't do a challenge but I am going to try it. I am 172 now. I challenge myself to lose one pound a week. It's about 7 weeks until the day so my goal is to be down to about 165.

mousepie · 12-29-2007, 07:29 AM

Scoot over....I'm in and have a goal of 10 lbs by Vday!

lildragonfly · 12-29-2007, 07:46 AM

Well I am starting back on induction today cause I swear im gaining and losing the same 3 lbs for past 2 weeks. Argh so frustrating. I did however lose an inch in my waist so that good...so long muffin top over jeans.

B: Had coffee, 1 tbsp heavy cream, 1 squirt of davinci sf pp, and 1 pack splenda had 1 piece of this cheese thing i found recipe for in appetizers(cheese,egg,cream and bake)

L: Broccoli baked with butter, chicken grilled about 3 ozs and green tea

D: Thinking of an omelet with vegs and tea

The one goal for today is water water water. I know im not drinking enough.

Does that menu look induction ok you think?
Going to buy the other atkins book today and see if Im doing something
to sabotage myself.

Took my cla/gla combo, a multivitamin, and some B12

mrs I · 12-29-2007, 11:03 AM

Hi I'm so glad you started this 3 days left of the 100 day challenge - maybe I will plan a little get away if I meet this Valentine goal

oct2667us · 12-29-2007, 11:08 AM

Hi all I would love to Join ,if I can? I restarted today. Well last night at dinner but today if my frist full day. I am starting at 280 and want to be at 265 by Valentine's Day.

Taimes1 · 12-29-2007, 12:27 PM

ME ME ME!!! I am in!!!
Hi I am Tammy!

MissMerize · 12-29-2007, 12:43 PM

May I join? v-day is my b-day and I'll be turning 39+1. Don't even want to think about that "f" word.

I lost over 60 this year, and just put probably 20 back on over the past couple of months, but I'm afraid to get on the scale. Only know that my pants are getting tight again.

This past week has been a never ending carb fest.

mothermavis · 12-29-2007, 01:38 PM

Don't worry about that 39 plus 1, I will be celebrating the 13th anniversary of my 29th birthday in June. DH says I look much better now than did then. He could be lying but I hope not.

I'm gonna look even better in June.

little_miss · 12-29-2007, 01:48 PM

I want to join!!!
I dont want to look back on another challenge on these forums and wish I had joined at the beginning!
Im starting tomorrow Dec 30.

MomToEli · 12-29-2007, 02:44 PM

Okay, I can do this. I'm on day 2 of my restart so that is good. Dh promised me a new computer if I can hit onderland by the end of January. That is 18 pounds as of this morning. So, another two weeks .... I'm going for 25 pounds total. Hopefully that's not too ambitions, but I really do want a new computer ....

I'll officially start in the morning. Don't want to weigh in the middle of the day ....

Taimes1 · 12-29-2007, 04:01 PM

to post my weight and goals..

I am currently at 145-146 depending on the day...I would LOOOOOVE to seee 130 by V-day....

I started last spring at 175 so I hope to see the finish line soon...AND keep it there.....

Congrats to everyone for joining the challenge and starting new for 2008...

Losing some weight and felling better about ourselves is one resolution..>ANY OTHERS??? My other resolution is to take better care of the people and things I already have....

It is great to meet all of you!!

wackytobeme · 12-29-2007, 04:38 PM

ladyinlove56 · 12-29-2007, 08:04 PM

Hello everyone...

I would love to get on board ....I would like to lose 20lbs before Valentines...I am flying to Az to be with my darling boyfriend...and go for a romantic few days off to the mountains...mmmm...thanks all.....

Swifty1014 · 12-29-2007, 08:08 PM

Hi, I would love to join! I am at 250 would like to lose 20lbs.
Looking forward to our success

beachfires · 12-29-2007, 08:12 PM

OK...I'm in!

According to previously posted posts (? that MUST be the Saturday night Chardonnay talking/typing) I am Miss M's 2nd bestest friend so...I am joining this challenge. Can someone...anyone let me know what it is about?? Hehehe. I am a low carber who has been around since 2004 and I am doing induction for the 2nd time...anyone care to help a poor old lady who has an onging love affair with a good Chardonnay out?

Anyhow...I am sure that tomorrow sometime I will check my email and wonder...once again...WHAT THE HELL HAVE I DONE NOW?? in any event...I will honor my accepting this challenge ( as long as someone (Miss M please help me out here ) lets me know what I have signed up for) and stick with it.

GOOD GOD...there really should be laws against the drunk entering into any kind of agreement.

OK...enough from me...have a great night everyone!!!!!
