Our 2nd Challenge: Looking Fine for Valentines!
Are you ready for another challenge here at the Sisterhood of Shrinking Jeans? Yes, yes you are! So put your gym shoes on and get ready for a 6 week challenge where we not only tackle topics on weight loss, but being heart healthy too! All just in time for Valentine’s Day. Now if we can only stay away from those heart shaped boxes of chocolates…
Are you new to the challenges here at the Sisterhood? If so, WELCOME!! But what took you so long?! Click here to read more about how our challenges work. The short of it is, each week all of us (that includes YOU) will post about weigh-in, good and bad! Everyone writes a post on their personal blogs (if they have one), and then copies/pastes the permalink into the comment section of each Wednesday’s weigh-in post. It sounds more complicated than it is. Really! Just check out yesterday’s weigh-in post so you can see the commenting in action.
The first weigh-in for this challenge will be next Wednesday. You should be checking in here everyday for great posts, recipes, reviews and fitness tips; but make sure you come back on Wednesday to enter your weight and link to your blog post. By posting your information, you open your self up to the beauty of the Sisterhood. SUPPORT! And lots of it. And while you’re at it, make sure you offer some of that support to your fellow Sisters. We all need it!
What should you do right now??
If you haven’t already joined the Challenge, please grab a button and slap it in your sidebar! Make that blog of yours pretty! Then fill in our Contact form so you can be added to the blogroll.
Finally, make sure you weigh-in this morning and document your weight so you’ll know what your challenge start weight is. If you feel inclined, please leave it in the comments section! Or better yet, post about it on your blog. And don’t forget to set your goals for this challenge!

My goal is to lose about 5 pounds this challenge.
My goal is one pound a week
and to find my nitch in an exercise routine.
Alright…here I go.
Two goals:
*1 pound a week
*Only healthy snacks and suppers at the office
My starting weight is: 225.2 lbs. I am going to lose 10 lbs. by the end of the challenge!
I’m ready! 150 here I come! : )
I am SO ready for this. I am hoping to lose 20 lbs. in the next 6 weeks. That is my goal and I WILL reach it! Starting at 191.4 today.
Ok, I’m going to make three goals for this new challenge:
1. lose 5 lbs (or 1 lb a week, I hope i can do it)
2. Add 30 min a week of excercise outside of dance.
3. Start taking monthly measurements in addition to weekly weigh ins.
OK, I vowed NOT to step on the scale just yet, but I’m going to do it. BRB…..
Starting Weight: 188 lbs (but I think 10l bs are my ta ta’s alone, due to the nursing factor, lol).
Goal: Baby steps for me….I want to lose 5 lbs. I know, it’s a small amount, but that’s all I’m good for now.
I would be happy if I lost 3 lbs- I’m easy to please : ).
NO more late night snacking for me!
Goals for this challenge:
1. 100 oz water/day
2. Exercise…any way I can get it…structured or playing with my kids. I know that once I add the activity in combination with eating better the weight will come off.
Here’s to a fabulous 6 weeks, ladies (and man)! :)
PS: I *am* feeling better today…thanks for the get well comments on my blog. That was so sweet.
[...] on such a big challenge to lose weight over the holidays. We hope you all are joining us on our new challege as well! Share and [...]
My goals for this challenge:
*back to the gym exercising 3x per week
*Lose 10 pounds this challenge
*Get back to TRACKING MY WW POINTS!!
I’m sooo excited to join y’all in this challenge! This is an awesome way to stay accountable and to find motivation (and encouragement) along the way.
I’m weighed in today at 164 and hope to be 5 pounds lighter by the end of the 6 weeks, putting me in a whole new decade of numbers. Woohoo! I’m currently working out 5 days/week, but hope to add a DVD workout at home a couple of days per week.
Here’s to shrinking jeans!
My goal is to continue exercising and not get distracted with other things and to drink my water.
I weighed in at 140. My goal is to lose at least 10lbs by the end of this challenge, and be able to run 10 miles (I can currently run 6).
After how terrible and counter-productive I was during the holidays — I’m back in the game. My goals for the 6 weeks are to workout 4 times a week and lose at least 5 lbs.
Woohoo! I blogged about my goals:
http://imadramamama.wordpress.com/2009/01/08/im-losing-it/
Basically, I’d like to lose 2.5 pounds by the end of this challenge.
I am excited to join in on this challenge too. My starting weight is 178. My goal is to be 12 lbs lighter (at least) by the end of this challenge. My ultimate goal is to get to somewhere between 160-155.
I am excited to start up the 2nd challenge. My goal this time around is to do my dance video every night and to cut out my soda intake. Good luck everyone.

Looking forward to reading about everyone successes!
Very excited! Haven’t weighed in yet, as I just found out about y’all this afternoon. But I am IN!!
(I’d like to be down 15 pounds by the end of this challenge.)
Let’s do this thang, y’all!!
Wait. I’m missing something. What’s the challenge? Or are we just setting personal goals for the next 6 weeks?
I’m in. Ugh, with a starting weight of 181.4. Which means I’m almost back to where I started last May before I brilliantly lost 20 lbs. I’d like to see myself UNDER 170 at the end of this challenge.
Oh, and I posted today:
http://swanvalleytammi.blogspot.com/2009/01/back-in-saddle.html
I plan on losing 5lbs by the end of this challenge (I’m still nursing, so trying to play it safe for now)
167
I’m in! My goals are:
Stay off of caffeine.
Run more than I walk.
Eat veggies with every lunch and dinner.
Eat out once a week only.
ok ladies I am new at this I got this site from Beth (thanks girl) my starting weight is 171.1 MY goal is to lose 1 pound a week and to look smoking hot when my hubby comes home from Iraq on leave (have no idea when the date is he just left last week. Also a goal i have is to meet people. Good luck to everyone!!!
I am starting this challenge a little late, but I would still hope to lose 5 pounds. The kids are back in school and I can get to the gym on a regular basis. Now I just need to eat right!
OK. I was weighed at the doctor about 2 weeks ago and I was 236.
I went to work out the other night and stepped on the scale..220!!!
Go me!!!
I stopped drinking soda & Kool-Aid AND the daily huge refill cup of vanilla coffee slushy.
Here’s the blog post…

I haven’t worn jeans in years because of my expanded waistline. Looking forward to slipping into a pair smaller than my current 2-3X!!
Shrink on…

Oh yeah the goal thing:
I don’t think its fair to my middle-aged metabolism to set an incremental weight loss goal. I’ll end up depressing myself at least once so no, I’m not going that route. Also, just been diagnosed with chronic bronchitis, and my knees are weird so I can’t push myself as hard as I want. Last time I tried I blew my knees out for about a week.
What I will set is this:
By start of my kids’ Spring Break I want to be 1 size smaller. By Summer Break I want to be 2 sizes smaller.
I want to work out at least 3x a week for at least 45 minutes.
I think those are meetable goals. As I go along, I’m sure I”ll find myself able to do more, and the list will grow as I shrink!!!
Shrink on sistas…
