Valentines Day to Easter Challenge 2016

[saraj91]

Welcome to the next challenge! 

This one will run from Valentines day to Easter, so from February 14th to March 27th. Everyone and anyone can join this challenge in which we all set our own weight loss goals, this gives us 7 weeks in total to work towards them! 

This group of lovely people provides encouraging support and words of advice as we all share our experiences, good and bad. It has proved beyond helpful to myself and many others as we become healthier and achieve amazing things.

To be part of the challenge you start by posting your initial weight stats and what you would like to achieve by the end of the challenge. You can then check in as often as you'd like with a weight update, to share a story from your week or start a conversation about a topic you'd like some advice on.

 
So excited for us to keep working towards our goals with the fantastic friends from the last challenges and a big 'Hello!' to all the challenge newbies! 

Thank you @awood08 for kicking off the last challenge!

Today was awesome. It was beautiful outside. I was able to get in well above my goal of 10,000 steps and got in 5 miles. It takes me awhile, I'm not very fast and did it in phases but still, I did it.

Great job!   Take care, Mary

Hi All ,

 I'm in , my goal is to finally meet my ultimate goal weight this challenge. I ended the last with a grand total of 0 pounds lost , how depressing , although to be fair the last 10 days i had an injury which resulted in many stitches in the back and no ability to excercise. Recovering now , so ready to do this:)
