    Yes I need to work on drinking water too! It's cooling down here and I always find I forget about water when it's not so hot!!

    Hi Everyone, just checking in. BTW, doing good w8inforthesun (love the name), thanks.
    I started my 'new' journey February 1, and so far managed to lose 12 lbs. I am still hoping that I can make 15 lbs by the end of March. Even with the 12 lbs I have noticed that some of my clothes are not quite as tight. I am apple-shaped so everything I own always seems to be small in that middle area.
    So today went through my closet and found some nice items that I might be able to wear again easily if I lost another 10 lbs. So that is my motivation for the April challenge! I will be able to have a new wardrobe without spending a penny! Of course if I ever get to my goat weight, I am planning a new wardrobe.

    I am trying, which seems to work best for me, a lower carb along with counting calories and logging in everyday. I find that logging helps a great deal, along with the exercise. I do a lot better if I work hard on the cardio.

    So my goals are to try to lose between 8lbs at least, log in everyday,drink my water and cardio 5-6 days a week (mainly brisk walking). And to fit into a new top from my closet!

    Wishing everyone all the best in their weight loss journey, we can all work together and help each other on this journey downward.

    @w8ingforthesun My goal is to lose 2 kg (4.4lbs). I have lost 43 kg (94.7 lbs) so far, and my weight loss has slow down somewhat. I know it's normal, but it can be frustrating sometimes. :)

    ~~~JUST A REMINDER~~~

    Your starting weights can be submitted any time between tomorrow, Saturday, March 26 through to Friday, April 1 depending on what day you weigh in.

    In order to submit your weight please go to the thread located in Announcements for the applicable week and respond with:

    Your Username:
    Your Team Name:
    Your Current Weight:

    There is currently a very long list of individuals on a waiting list that would like to participate. I was surprised on how much interest there was! I could have easily added another 5 teams but I wanted to keep the numbers low, at least for this month. As a result I ask that everyone submit their weights on or before April 1. If not received by end of day April 1 I will assume you are no longer interested in the challenge and your seat will be filled by someone else.

    Good luck everyone!! Let the game begin!!! :smile:

    You can go ahead and replace me with someone on the waiting list. I am not going to be able to participate right now. Sorry

    Hello team! My name is Rae and I managed to sneak in under the wire! Thanks to whichever person dropped out so I could get in. ;)

    So, I'm a pretty regular poster on MFP and I LOVE to do challenges. I'm a retired wife, mom and grandma. I love my family so much but my life has been all about family and work and not very much about me. Since I retired last year, I'm changing that. Good nutrition and exercise are now my healthy habits for a lifetime!

    So happy to be a part of this group. Now let's kick some gut AND butt!
