    Total loss for April :smile:

    Congrats on hitting Onederland! That must feel fantastic.
    About how long did it take you to get under 200 from your starting weight, if you don't mind me asking?

    Thank you, it felt wonderful! It took me from the beginning of November thru the beginning of April to get under 200. It is a lot of hard work but so worth it!

    That's a great rate of loss and I'm very happy for you! I know I can't wait to see the number 1 in front of my weight, too. :)

    Happy Sunday, everyone!

    Yippee! I hope I am not jinxing myself, but I think the plateau is busted.

    After not seeing a new daily low since March 4th, yesterday I saw 203.7, and 203.6 today. Hoping I lose a bit more before I pop up again, that is my pattern. Hopefully I can progress a bit before the next inevitable plateau.

    Nevertheless I am happy for small victories!

    For some reason my ticker isn't updated properly. Could be a MFP glitch...

    Highest weight ever: 254 in October 1999.

    Lowest since 1999: 195.

    Original starting weight: 243 in 2015.

    MFP Starting weight December 25th, 2016: 233

    Goal: 180 in however long it takes.

    Weekly averages:
    March 26th to April 1st: 205.8
    April 2nd to April 8th: 206.7
    April 9th to April 15th: 205.8
    April 16th to April 22nd: 205.2
    April 23rd to April 29th: 204.7

    Loss for April: 1.1 lbs.

    MFP Loss: 28.3 lbs.

    Total cumulative loss since mid 2015: 38.3 lbs.

    See you in the May thread!

    Move more, eat less.

    **Hope it’s okay, changed my dates around because my weigh days are Monday’s**

    Total loss for April : 21.6 lbs

    April has been quite a ride. My goal was to lose ten pounds and I definitely lost more than that. I had surgery during the second week of April and was placed on a full liquid diet for four weeks by my doctor. With that I lost ~16 lbs. I don’t plan on keeping it all off but it has changed my body a lot and allowed me to realize that i don’t necessarily have a “food/carb addiction” like I previous thought, just poor willpower. During these past three weeks i haven’t had any true cravings for food. There were a couple of times where I wanted to eat certain foods but i didn’t lose my mind like I normally would have, had I not been on this diet. Anyhow, it was a great month overall. Hopefully I can keep most of the weight off when i go back to solid foods next week and continue making progress towards my ultimate goal.

    Great job everyone! We made it through another month.

    Apr 10: 127.2 - Today I gave myself the slap in the face that I needed to wake up - I've been lying to myself about my food intake and exercise calories burned and hoping that the scale will just magically go lower instead of higher. It's time for me to let go of the excuses I've been making and finally get to my goal weight. I WILL do this!

    Apr 14: 126.6
    Apr 30: 127.4 - Looking at my body and not focusing on the scale as much and I've been adding more strength training into my workouts lately. Would I like the number to be smaller on the scale? Well sure, but I'm actually kind of happy with the way by body is starting to look right now.

    Here's to next month!
