    So, as you can see, not moving the scale at all so far this month. The 180 mark seems to be impossible to break. :(
    New resolve, getting over this horrid headache, back to exercising tomorrow, looking forward to a better attitude next week!

    Overall disappointed with this week, i ran felt good, ate well and Nothing. I did loose .5 an inch on my hips, but it just doesn't seem worth it to not loose anything. I added more measurements for future progress.

    Where has April slipped off to? I can't believe today is the 18th!! Anyhoo...after a long weekend away this month where I gained 2 pounds, I've lost that again. Not going to hit my overly aggressive goal for April but still posting a loss and any loss is a good loss. :)

    April 5 - vacation week
    April 12- 174.6

    A very emotional week, I reunited with my sister after 8 years. We have had turmoil in the past.
    I hope this works out for the better. So not a big loss I hope to get back at it next week
    and see a bigger loss.

    Good luck to everyone!

    Total weight lost: 1.2 lbs. so far this month, not counting the pound I gained in the first week and had to lose again. I feel like I'm doing pretty good but deal with water weight gain after excess sodium intake. I don't know that I'll hit my goal for the month, but I've seen weirder things happen.

    @kmajaVCU - You've got a nice steady drop going! At that rate you should hit goal at the end of the month! Nice work!

    This is just what I need to achieve my targets and ultimately my goal weight of 120lbs. I shall be jogging 5km for five days for 45 mins a week so let's see if that works!

    Start Weight: 148
    Current Weight: 140
    Goal Weight for the month 135

    Weigh in Dates:

    04/26:
    04/30:

    I've not done so well on the scales this week however my tape measure shows I have lost 4 inches so that is a positive loss.There are some great losses on here and it is very encouraging too. Happy Easter for tomorrow!
