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!

Awesome, it's great to see so many participants up for another month!
I just got home from my week away a few hours ago so I'll update the list and everything in the morning!
I haven't weighed yet so It'll be interesting how much weight I've gained during my week away lol.
I had lots of fun kayaking and swimming, walking and biking...
But then I also had lots of fun eating so ;) Might not have quite balanced out enough but oh well.
It was awesome being able to spend more time with the bf's family.
His uncle and his girlfriend had come over from England for a few weeks so I got to get to know him a little better which was nice.
I'd only met him in passing briefly before he left for England a couple of years ago.

Anyway...

:O And I picked my first cherry tomatoes from my garden today, along with 4 giant marrows from my zucchini plant.
So that was very exciting.
I spent most of last night having nightmares that I would get home and find my garden destroyed.
I did find a rotten rainbow blend tomato but that was the most of the damage! :)

But I'm just babbling now so anyway!
I'm buggered and need sleeeeep...
Ironic, eh?
Get home from holidaying for a week and all i want to do is sleep! :D
Night all, see you in the morning!
