    Hello! I have never really stuck to a challenge but I plan on completing this one!!!!! I am so sick of feeling tired, depressed, fat and ugly. I have to do something and no one else can do it but me! I have no support from anyone so ya'll can be my support. I just saw an article on cnn this morning about a girl from myfitness pal that used zumba and this app to help her lose 123 pounds! I thought wow!!!!! I am so excited to join!!!!!!

    SW: 242
    CW: 228.5
    GW for April: 220
    UGW: 145

    How do you plan to achieve your personal goal? I plan on really really cleaning up my eating! I hope to limit how much I eat out and really try to eat clean healthy foods! I also plan to go to the gym every day and concentrate on lifting and cardio.

    I plan to do this by exercising at least 3 times a week and eating less sweets and fried foods (near impossible to do while at school but it can be done!).

    SW: 111 kg
    CW: 105.9 kg
    GW for April: 102 kg (~ 8lbs to lose)
    UGW: 75 kg

    How I plan on doing it: Keep up with exercising and eating healthy. My semester break is over so I have to figure out how to make things work all together. Hence the relatively meager goal.

    April 5th: 105.5 kg, down 0.4 kg (as expected, since I've been sick for the last week and haven't been able to hit the gym)

    Let's do this!

    I know this sounds like a lot, but I only started 3 days ago and I already lost 11 so I thought this was fairly realistic. Good luck everyone!!! :)

    How do you plan to achieve your personal goal?
    Same thing as usual, though I am hoping to start weight lifting again this month. I know it's not a big goal to lose 2.6 pounds in a month but things had been at a near standstill last month. I seem to be moving again though so should hopefully be able to do it!

    Starting with my last weigh in in March since my first april weigh in wasn't till April 5th. I weigh Fridays.

    March 29: 141.6
    April 5: 140.4

    Here's my update:

    4/5 191 lbs

    Down 3 pounds this week, even with Easter! I know it's because I've exercised so much. Hopefully I can keep up with my superbusy schedule this week.

    Would love to join this Challenge! New month, new goals!

    SW: 161
    CW: 144.4
    GW: 139 (For April)
    UGW: 135?

    Additional goals: Show up and finish my first 5K I am running on April 20th!!! Eat less processed foods. No soda. More water. More fruits and vegetables. No emotional eating... Period. Watch sodium levels more closely. Enjoy the warmer weather. Possibly go bathing suit shopping by the end of the month? :) Be proud of myself for what I have already achieved and what I will achieve!

    How I am going to achieve my goal: Log everything, don't restrict myself from foods I love which will prevent the need for me to cheat or overdo it, maintain a positive attitude (I know I can do this), finish 30DS by the middle of the month (starting Level 3 on Wednesday) then begin the Ripped in 30 DVD. Get outside more with my children! Reward myself more (no, not with food).

    Weigh in Dates:

    4/6 - 145.6
    4/13
    4/20
    4/27
    4/30

    4/6 - Weighing in for the day. I am up 1.2 pounds but I started a new workout this week and my muscles are very sore! Not really going to worry about this slight gain. I can feel and see the changes happening to my body. Even if the scale is not going down, I am still getting stronger! :) I have managed to stick to all of my April goals!!! Any time I felt like eating my emotions this week, I popped in an exercise DVD instead and it seemed to do the trick. I actually lost my appetite when I was finished. I am proud of myself for what I have accomplished this week.
