BuffyBear's Journal, 02 February 2014

Happy Ground Hog Day and Happy Superbowl! I feel so much better than yesterday - sorry to have gone all grumpy on you. I ended up going outside and trimmed the front hedge. A little fresh air and sunshine made a world of difference!

As I have stated so often, this 12 pounds (up from fall of 2012) has been depressing me. So I checked the calendar and found that, even if I only lose 1 pound a week, I can have that 12 pounds off by Easter! So now I have set a realistic mini goal!

BTW - is anyone else who wants to lose (X number of pounds) by Easter? Would love your company!

Hey Buffy, I'm in. I have to start tomorrow cuz I already ate and drank this morn before weighing. I'm Hyped!! Thanks. Maybe this is what I need to shake myself loose......

Share Bare - You must be so excited for your trip! 24 pounds sounds very doable. Appreciate your company.

Why don't you start a challenge?

Draglist - I appreciate your encouragement. I could't even get the simulator to work on my desktop, but I do understand that the closer one gets to goal the harder it is. Maybe I'll try again some time with I've had more sleep.

Dboza - to you have a specific amount in mind?  
02 Feb 14 by member: BuffyBear
Buffy-- 1 lb a week would be doable.. I hope. It hasn't worked out so far, but maybe with you it will be better...

ClassicRocker - I would love to but I am one of the ones you hear about that has those tech problems that lock us out of challenges (remember Wayne's Challenge?). Maybe someone else will?

Dboza - I know what your mean. One pound doesn't sound like much but some weeks it sure can be a struggle!

Me too Buffy. They're still showing no participation on the current Valentine challenge. If they don't show us, doubt if they can get the system fixed.

One of us could post the challenge on our journal. People can come in and ask to have their name added. That person could keep up with weekly weigh ins if every one will agree on one weigh in day to make life simpler.

ClassicRocker - That is too bad, but at this point not being able to participate in Challenges is the least of my worries.

Nothing like a little time in the garden to change your mood. I can hardly wait for spring here. Have a great day!

Lynn - A little bit of spring works wonders, doesn't it?

Count me in for the Easter challenge Buffy, one pound a week, we can do it if we all support each other.

Yes, I am a one pound a week kind of girl!!! It takes so much hard work to get rid of that one pound.... but before we know it, it will add to 12 and more :-)

I'm with you, Buffy. We CAN DO it!

Hey Buffy I hope your day stays positive and yes we can - any loss is a good loss....so let's stick to this and get there!!!

Buffy....Has a weigh in day been decided? It looks like quite a few buddies are going for it. Yay.. we'll be healthier by Easter... No candy for Valentines Day!!!

Easter is April 24th. That's 76 days from now. That's just over 10 weeks. At 2 pounds a week, that's 20 pounds. I'm at 236 today. I'm willing to commit to try for 216 by Easter in 76 days. There, I said it! Let's see how close I can come. Buffy, are you in??
