Hi!!!! If you've been with us before, welcome to the new challenge, if you're new, umm.. welcome as well! hahhahaa

So, there is one change this time. If you want to join the challenge, that is great, but you have to participate this time around. Even if you don't have a weight loss to post, you still need to post something. If you disappear for 2 weeks, you will no longer find your name on the sheet. I'm sorry, but too many people post their goals and never come back, then the people that are here all the time have to look through the huge list to find their progress.
(steps off soap box)

So, you still want to join???
Great

Just post your Starting Weight for this challenge, Goal Weight for April Fools Day, and any other goals you would like us to watch you achieve by then

Welcome!

So you're supposed to weigh in every week until April fools day right?

Hey all you April Fool challengers - I need some help! My motivation is waining!!

You can do this! Make sure you aren't consuming too much sodium, that can drastically change your weigh-in and drink lots of water. I didn't lose at all at the beginning of the week and I was getting discouraged but in the last 2 days I have lost another pound. Good luck and take it one day at a time !

Thanks for the support - it helps to know I'm not on my own

Ok so I am doing "pretty" good on the "no junk food" . Had a doughnut yesterday.:grumble: I am over my calories today but I did not eat much of the cheese sauce in my brocolli at all. There was at least 1/4 cup of it in the bottom of the bag. So I am counting that is less just not posting it that way. I struggle so much with these days that I don't have time to work out. Maybe just maybe I will go for a run when i get home at 9:00, but I don't really feel safe running at night.
Alcohol is Ida 3 Booze 0. :bigsmile: We don't have our 3 kiddos tonight. Gone at sleepovers. SOOOo.....wish me luck!:drinker: HA!
Keep up with the good work everybody and remeber its ALL about choices and you are in control of them!

Weigh-in at 258 this morning! Yay, I reached my second goal which was to lose 22 pounds so I am getting myself a HRM watch today. :happy: My goal this week is to drink more water, I am going to try and drink at least 10 glasses of water.

What kind of watch did you get?
I have been interested in getting an upgrade on mine but I am not finding one that I like

Way to go on reaching your goal!

I am showing that the last post was 10 hours ago by O'mally...that seems odd to me. No one comment after my last post. hoping this will fix whatever is wrong or maybe nothing is and it is just a quiet day?

Grr....well, this is another week!

PamDW · February 2011

valigirl · February 2011

Down another 2 pounds ....sooo happy ! Losing weight good, but I really need to add some excersise! But I feel great !

I was at 179 this week. I don't like going backwards. This is going to be a trying time for me until I figure out what's wrong with my knee. I am hoping that I only need to rest for a week or so, anything else can be very damaging to my weight loss. I have to get my eating in check. In the past, I was still able to eat almost anything (in moderation of course) and still able to lose because I was burning a ton of calories. Now I don't have that to rely on anymore, so I have to get my eating in check. It's going to be harder than thought, but I know I can do it. If I don't see a loss this week either, I am prepared for that. But what I am not prepared for is another gain.
