I plan to work out 6 days a week, log everything, and really focus on responding to my body's actual hunger, not my emotions! Much easier said than done some days.

So happy to report those last two pounds are gone! I lost 8 pounds total in April! I was reading the recent responses earlier, and everyone has done so well! Great job, everyone! I'm definitely coming back for May!

Happy Friday!! I can't believe it's already the last Friday of April... Where'd the time go???

SW (4/6/2013): 212

4/26: 201
GW for April: 200
UGW: 120-130

I had a hiccup in the road earlier this week that caused my weight to creep up a bit before coming back down. This morning I stepped on the scale, and it read 199.6!!! So, I went to go get my camera (hey, I haven't seen under 200 in a VERY LONG TIME), got back on the scale, and the reading was higher (wasn't holding my camera). I got back on just to be sure, still 201... Aww man... I'm sooooo close to being under 200!!!!!!!!

YAYYYY!!! I MET MY GOAL WEIGHT FOR APRIL!!!!! :bigsmile:

Actually, the scale read 199.8!!!!! But I'm waiting until it reads 199.0 before I finally declare that I am under 200. My weight has been bouncing between 198.8-200 for the past 3 days. I got a photo on Sunday when the scale read 198.8, but since that's not what it read today, I'm not counting it. I'm really excited to be at 200 because I haven't seen this number in a VERY LONG TIME. I'm also really excited because I met my goals for this month! It's nice to know that I am capable of achieving my weight loss goals (even if they are mini ones).

Everyone in this challenge has been motivation for me- so thank you all!!! :flowerforyou: I can't wait to see all of you in May's challenge!

From March 30th
I'll play!

SW:185
CW: 158
GW for April: 150
UGW: 130

How do I plan to achieve this goal?
Same as I've been doing...eating clean, good-fuel foods, keeping the calories at some deficit, keeping up with the weight training, at least 3 times a week. Hooping, dancing, spin classes, running, yoga etc...usually 5 times a week, and when it gets warmer here, skating, kayaking, bicycling... lots of outdoors activities.

Sorry I haven't kept up with posting on this challenge. I had hit a plateau for some long time, but finally lost another couple of pounds. Soooooo...

On April 13:
SW:185
CW: 156
GW for April: 150 (6 pounds to go. I hope I can do it.)

OK, obviously I'm having issues with regular updates in the thread, but here is my current status:
As of April 30th:

SW: 185
GW for April: Was 150. I got close.
CW: 152 (So, I lost 6 pounds in April. I'm not going to whine about that. )
UGW: 130 (When I get there, depending on my BF %, I will likely shoot for 125.)
