*Terri is still not back yet, so here's a continuation of her normal threads. Hurry back soon Terri!!*

The goal lose 5 pounds by the end of April. This challenge is open to EVERYONE! This is an informal group for support. No official check-ins or tracking by other members. All you need to do is post your starting weight at the beginning of the month and then your final. Some people weigh in weekly and post their weights every week, on whichever day works best for them. Some people only post their first and last weigh in of the month. No rules other than the main forum rules. Just join us to get rid of our bad habits and get healthy!

Good luck all and remember if you lose more, great! If you don't, stick with it! This is a lifestyle change and journey! The longer you stick with it, the healthier you will ecome and the better you you feel!

-Bru

    FIRE IT UP!

    My goal is to lose 5 lbs every month and I have done it in February and March [already beyond 5 lbs at this point], so I got a little streak cooking. Goal is 5lbs every month until August.

    5 lbs lost per month streak = 2 mos

    My weight is at an all time high (*sigh*) so I'm a bit overwhelmed. However, I can't get over how inspiring this site is. I'm so glad I found it as I started my weight loss journey.
