    Drea, you dropped quite a bit last week, so don't be frustrated this week! Just focus on doing what you know how to do to get a loss for the coming week.

    Ran my second 5k today and even took a minute off my time! Didn’t quite get to tracking today but I drank a lot of water

    To all those trying to bookmark a thread, MFP seems to have an issue at the moment.

    The error "You need the Vanilla.Discussions.View permission to do that." is appearing.

    I have raised an issue with MPF support. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

    I will report back when this issue is resolved.

    Thanks for your patience.

    Six pounds gone...could that be right?!! It's Mel, so of course it can!!! That is fifteen pounds lost in the month of April!! We know you are walking A LOT and drinking tons of water....is there anything different or specific about your diet that is contributing to this fantastic loss for April? Do tell, because we all want to know!!

    Another loss, Kate!! So close to the 160's....next week for sure!! You are eight and half pounds lost for the month of April, and a two time 5 K road race finisher. I'd say you had an excellent month!!!

    Thank you! Originally I had hoped to be in the 160’s this week, but I’m ok with my loss. I’m so excited about the two 5k’s. I’m truly the healthiest I’ve been in many years!! I look forward to a great May too!

    Afraid so.
    But, this week, I'm back to logging! In fact, it just dawned on me that I only have 18 days left before we will be spending a few days at the beach and I'm not where I'm suppose to be! I have gotten rid of most of my larger clothes as I've lost weight to make sure it would be difficult to gain weight back. Unfortunately, I weigh almost 10 pounds more than last year. You can see the dilemma! Anyway, I will be throwing it into high gear for the next 18 days (and beyond). I have more clothing options if I can at least get into the ballpark of where I need to be. Consider me properly motivated!

    Goals for the next 18 days:
    1. No processed foods or alcohol
    2. Will log, stay within calorie goal and be active
    3. Sleep 7-8 hours nightly
    4. Daily meal plan/prep
    5. No excuses!

    Nothing too major, but I’ve dropped all dairy and am eating as clean as I can. No cookies, chips or cake. No take out. I certainly miss it but I’m making my health/body a priority right now.
