    Hi! This is my second month doing this challenge. I started my journey back in January when I reached my highest weight of nearly 303 pounds. I knew I had to make a change for myself and for my child...he has cerebral palsy and will need me around for a long time to come. I have a set myself multiple goals so that the end doesn't seem quite so far away. My first goal is to get under 250 pounds by the end of June! Right now I'm not getting active as much as I'd like but hoping to change that in April.
    Feel free to add me.
    Hoping we all have a great April :smile:

    First time being here. Cw is 251.8. Hoping to make 240 by the end of April. My ultimate goal is 160 by this time 2019. Highest weight was 295. Hoping to never see that number on the scale again. Good luck!!

    I am excited to be a part of this challenge. I did this challenge last year and really should have stuck with it. I started the keto diet 3 days ago, I’ve always used weight watchers since 2005. So this is a new approach for me. My highest weight was 225 in 2005. I weigh 177.6 today. My goal is to get down to 140. I work out for 30 min every morning. I’ve been doing a lot of T25 and other kickboxing/ tae bo type of videos. Feel free to add me as a friend!

    Hi! This is my first month! This is my second major attempt at weightloss. Lost 70lbs back in 2012/2013 then gained it all back :( 1/1/18 my starting weight was 225. As of today, I'm back down to 194.2. Ultimate goal is 140lbs. Feel free to add me as a friend.

    Good thing you have a great week. I don't have my hopes up too much, going on easter vacation tomorrow, and that probably means lots of good food...hehe

    Not much hope for this week either. Hoping to find time to excercise. Nearly impossible with my 4 year old off school for spring break. When he's at school is usually my only free time. I work 7 days a week. We will see :wink:

    Signing in for April. I think this month I'll try adding my Jillian dvds to my routine and see if that helps me shed some lbs. I've been more focused on strength training since Jan with a couple of days on the elliptical or row machine. It's really frustrating when the scale isn't moving but the hubby is seeing changes in my body that I can't see. BUT, at least he tells me. So, I'm sticking with it. Good luck guys!

    Ate 1800 calories a little over my goal for the day. The keto diet is working well for me! Trying to stick to healthy fats but I do love cheese, and bacon

    So I bought a Fitbit today for starting this challenge and kinda love it! I'm basically just starting off my "workouts" by trying to get my 10,000 steps in a day. Gotta start somewhere!

    This is my third month with this. The last month ended up being rather rough due to some stuff that happened with my grandmother. That is all settling down now, and I can start to form an actual routine to keep me on track. I have found if I lose my routine I lose control of my life. I hope everyone is staying safe and warm with all these storms that have been charging across the country.

    Later,

    Maelyn

    I’ve been doing the T25 videos every morning and sometimes the power 90 video!

    I don’t know what has been wrong with me the last few days. I have been craving junk like crazy. Tying hard to power through it.

    Hi everyone. My first time being involved in this challenge (in fact my first ever challenge on MFP). Last weighed in at 225 and was 258 at my heaviest (I think, I'm from Scotland so it's 18st, 3lb in my normal world). I'm doing CICO and been doing well for the last 3 weeks. 1 more week to make it a habit eh? I've lost and gained like a yo-yo over the years but looking for this to stick. Good luck everyone. Be strong.

    I'm from Scotland to! Born and raised in Aberdeen but married a Californian so moved a few years back. I have always used lbs, but most of my friends back home use KG's which is just confusing! Good luck to you too :)

    My first time in this challenge. I'm praying that I am a good teammate and part of the reason for joining this challenge; I believe it will encourage me to do better as have other people relying on my results. God bless everyone and happy Easter!!

    Well done. Considering you were struggling with cravings it's great you've recorded a loss. Good effort. I hope the cravings have passed.
