Welcome all!
This thread is an extension of our earlier challenge "Lose 20lbs by Dec 1 Accountability Buddies." Some of us made the 20 lb goal (congratulations!) but several of us still have a way to go, so we are starting this "**Accountability Buddies**: Lose 20lbs by April 5" group. I have found this group enormously helpful to keep me on-task toward slowly (ah, yes, verrrrrry sloooooowly) but surely meeting my weight loss goal.
This is a "no frills" challenge. You are of course welcome to include in your postings whatever thoughts and comments are helpful to you, and to give likes, hugs, and supportive comments to others' posts, but the key thing that this challenge involves is to ** show up once a week and post your weight**. That is all.

Alright I’m gonna try this again....I think the easy pounds are in the rear view mirror, but another 20# should put me just under the “overweight” category according to the charts. I don’t think my weight started with a 1 since the year started with a 1 if that gives you any idea how long it’s been. Wish me luck!

As an above knee amputee diet is important! Sucks that I am currently dealing with a stress fracture in my only foot!!
Current Challenge Weight: 195.6
Goal Weight: 180 (this is my ultimate goal weight from when I started my WLJ last April. It will mark a 100 lb total weight loss. These last 15 lbs will most likely be the toughest for me, but I will give it my best shot! Good luck everyone!)

Bounced back from the dietary indiscretion from last Friday and look to be moving in the right direction again.
Goal Weight: 204.8 - April
155.0 - ultimately
I hate the scale. I said I'd stop weighing myself because it was becoming n unhealthy distraction, but I need a challenge.
Add me. I'm supportive and funny 😂, plus I could use some support. Good luck y'all.
