Lost 2.2 lbs this week, which is good - but I'm actually 0.4 lbs up on what I was at the start of the month. But I will finish April with a loss come what may - I am determined. Might not be 5lbs but hopefully at least 2.... watch this space!!
You can do it, frannybobs! To go up that much in weight in one week - it must be a lot of water retention. Cheering for you!
dave3039 - FABULOUS!
schnuddlebud - sounds like you are translating to muscle. Great NSV!
randrews - great work!!!
I wish I could go on and comment on each and every one of you. There are so many cool NSV's, successes, so much absolute determination to get strong and healthy that you all motivate me each and every day!
Wonder how much weight all of us have lost if we add it all up together. That would be cool to see.0 -
NSV - Was able to take off my jeans without unbuttoning or unzipping them on the day they came out of the dryer!!

Wow - this has been a great month! I am only 1/2 lb from my goal and a whole week to go - maybe I will be able to surpass my 5 lb goal!
NSV - Last summer's capris are all too loose, but I hate to buy any others because I have 90+ more pounds to go. And that is another happy thought - when I started, my goal was to lose 130 lbs - now that number is less than 100! Yay!0 -
Well done everyone on your losses. Just been reading through the comments and its amazing what you have all achieved. Im hoping to loose weight with my fitness pal after loosing 3 stone on the cambridge diet to put on 1 stone :-( please add me for support xxx0

Hey everyone congratulations on all of the losses happening this month and everyone who is stuck just keep on going your doing great!!!!!
Haven't weighed in this week just really don't feel like it lately, I have been totally disregarding my weight because I have been preoccupied this month. But don't worry I have weighed twice this month and I haven't strayed more than 4 pounds above my Starting Weight and it has been because of bloating from drinking too much soda.0 -
Lest' try this again!

I'm in a little shock here. I realized why I gained almost two lbs last week. Poor food choices and TOM certainly were the top two. But now to have this! OMG. Plateau...stay away!
@usborne, thanks much for your tip about eating half of your exercise calories. Such a good physical and psychological mind set!
Ok, the plateau prayer was effective!New Goal: 8.5 lbs for April!
9 lbs. Total Still in shock.... Just going to continue to ride this wave!0 -
