Default Spring Fever Countdown - now through the first day of Spring: March 20th

It's going to be time to wear warmer-weather clothing sooner than we think. Let's see what we can do to look and feel better for the first day of Spring! That's March 20th, 2015. That's 7 weeks, 7 weigh-ins. Everyone is welcome!

To join, add your name in alphabetical order, your current starting weight (not your original starting weight) and your goal for March 20th. Leave your weigh-in update blank until the following week's weigh-in.

Since March 20th is a Friday, weeks will end on Fridays. That means whatever week you join, your 'current starting weight' is your weigh-in for that week (through that Friday). The following week, you will post your 1st weigh-in update, and so on.

Once a week, (any day you choose) copy and paste the most recent (last) chart into a reply box, update your weigh-in weight, and click "post reply". Feel free to add comments!

I'll start the chart in the next post.

I'm afraid mine is too high a goal. But you being so close to goal, and plateaued...I think 5 lbs is pretty ambitious!

Hi Faith! Thanks for joining!

10 lbs may be an over achievement, as I only lost 2.6 lbs in Jan, but a girl can hope
Here's to a happy skinny spring

Good luck to all!

OMG - Just SEVEN weeks till spring! Hard to believe. On the other hand, yesterday was damp and cold and I woke this morning to grey overcast skies again. But now, at 10AM, as I sit here enjoying a mid-morning coffee break, the clouds are breaking up outside and there are about a dozen birds of various types flitting around the bird feeder outside my dining room window! So yes, spring is definitely on the way!

I'm going for a 7 pound loss because SURELY I can manage an average of one pound per week. Right??? Right!

Now I'm gonna get up off my lazy butt and go see if hubby wouldn't like to join me for a walk. We usually go in the early evening but he'll be plopped in front of the TV watching the super bowl tonight.

Well on this side of the border spring cant come soon enough lol It's been FREEZING for weeks straight. The abnormal now is for me to feel my fingertips when I walk from my car to my home!

7 lbs seems reasonable, I put 10 to get it down to 175, i like 5s and 10s.

What happened to my post to BevAngel? I hate when that happens!

Anyway, welcome! Glad to have you in the group!

I've been thinking about feeding birds this year. How far away from the house are your feeders? I have 2 smaller windows that don't open in the living room...was thinking birds might not be too skittish if I put some out there. Thoughts?

It's a lovely day here, too. About 60 degrees and not a cloud in the sky! Nights have been warming up as well here in the low desert. This is just to trick us. It'll be like the Sahara all too soon.

Hi all! Haven't done a challenge in years, have been rather stable, but it's time to lose a few more. Let's go for 7, ok?
Fauve - 143 lbs - goal: 136.
Thanks, this is great encouragement.

Glad to have you, Fauve! I think a team involvement is a boost to all of us. Even if it turns out to be a 2 pound boost, I'll take it!

MommaBear, I've seen you posting around the boards! Welcome
