    You all inspire me!! I wish I could reply to each and every one of you, but that would make this WAY too long. So many victories, so many pounds falling off. Love hearing the NSV's you all have. And for those of you stalled or frustrated because the scale won't move as fast as you'd like - you STILL are being victorious because you are taking care of you - being healthier, stronger, ready to live longer and take the world by storm!

    My NSV today - Stood up straight, sucked it in, looked down and SAW MY TOES!!! Whew - that's been awhile!

    (Wish I could just edit my original post, but here's an update with my April 1st weight and slightly adjusted goal.)

    Whoops. Forgot to log last week. Probably because my results weren't thrilling. I had an AWSOME week before my second weight in, but gained a pound. I then had a drinking-heavy bachelorette weekend before my third weigh in and didn't gain or lose anything. That last one is expected, or better than expected, but still, now I REALLY want to push past 216.

    My update after week 3 on April 2012 Challenge:

    Weight at start of challenge: 159
    CW: 155
    GW: 154

    4/4 : 158 (-1)
    4/11: 157 (-1)
    4/18: 155 (-2)
    4/25:

    4 down, 1 to go :wink:

    NSV I have just completed my 5K training plan & signed up for a 5K in 2.5 weeks time! I also got a chance to run outside for the first time! I was a little slower than I normally would be on the treadmill at the gym but that is to be expected. I still managed to do 4 miles in 40 minutes so I was pretty pleased! Hopefully I will get a few more runs in outside before the actual run.

    Well done to everyone this week! Keep up the good work!

    New to MFP and this is the first time I have tried any of these topics. I'd like to try.

    NSV: Got to the gym for 3 classes this week (so far) and walked every day. My daily walking was thanks to the new puppy at home.

    CW: 163.2
    GW: 158 ( by the end of April)
    (End)GW: 140 lbs... **sigh** haven't seen that number since 1993.

    4/2 = 164
    4/4 = 163.2
    4/11=161.6 (thanks to my family being down and out with the flu I get to eat the food I should eat and not what they want... thank you flue bug!)
    4/18=163.4 (sigh** bad weekend with anniversary parties and eating out events... will do better next week!)
    4/25=
