February Weight Loss Challenge **Sign ups always welcome!**

Welcome to the February Challenge!
I hope you all had a great January, boy didn't that month go fast??
But anyway, Welcome back for another month to all those who have done my previous challenges and welcome aboard to any newbies!

The challenge is pretty easy.
We'll have 5 weekly weigh In's and the dates will be...:

1/2/09:
8/2/09:
15/2/09:
22/2/09:
29/2/09:

And yes, I use the European writing method!
If you would like to change it in your personal posts, that's fine.

Weigh in days have been changed to Sunday.
I'm sorry, I know lots of you don't like weighing in around the weekends, but maybe this will be a really good motivator to behave on Saturdays now?
Well, TRY and look at it positively anyway!

So!
Sign up any time you want, then come back on the 1st of the month, fill out the form below and post it EVERY Sunday with your new weights.

The challenge is about personal motivation and success and just knowing you're making a good change for yourself... but the person to lose the most weight will receive a "i won a challenge" type badge for their photo gallery, also!

This is such a great idea!  I recently (just this week) got my butt back to the gym and I am super-motivated to stick with it this time.  I need to get in shape for the summer and, most importantly, my wedding in September!

Here we go again!  I'm surprised at how well I did in the January Weight Loss Challenge and I am eager to see what I can do in February.  Though, honestly, I'm a little nervous since I've not been below 165 in ages and there's a part of me that's not sure I can do it.  That said, I'm sure going to give it a go!

 

lilygirl, have fun on vacation.

navane, i know what you mean about being below a certain weight for the first time in... well a really long time.

just hope you don't have the problem i'm having, since passing 170 i seem to have a mental block in believing it. I'll get on the scale, read my weight, but by the time i get to the computer to log it i've reveresed the last two numbers in my head, so my 168 became 186. i even entered it into the log that way and when i saw the graph i was like WHAT?!?!? luckily they let us fix those kind of typos.  LOL
