    Here is my April 12th update.

    I had a loss this week but I know it could have been so much better if I hadn't pigged out over the weekend. :( My goal this week is to keep my weekend eating under control and get a bit more exercise in too.

    I'll join! I need some extra motivation this month.

    SW: 204
    CW: 194
    April GW: 188
    UGW: 140

    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.

    4/5 191
    4/11 189

    I'm almost to my April goal weight! I'd be thrilled if I could get to 185 by the end of April.

    Here is my April 12 update - down 1.4. I had hoped to get into the 195 range, but I will take any loss!

    SW: 205
    CW: 198.4 (last weigh-in on 3/29)
    GW for April: 191
    UGW: 150


    4/5: 197.6
    4/12: 196.2
    4/19:
    4/26:
    4/30:

    Goal for this week - not go crazy over the weekend when having old friends visit. I have a tendency to let loose in these situations, and I want to keep on track. Need to stop setting myself back just because I have plans on the weekend.

    Just checking in-- I hope all of you are doing well!! :)

    SW (4/6/2013): 212
    CW: 207 (down 5)
    GW for April: 208
    UGW: 120-130

    I am down 5 lbs from when I started the challenge last week. However, I am aware that a majority of this may be water. While I have technically met my GW for April, I think I will keep it at 208 (at least until next week) in case that weight loss was mostly water.

    I have been able to work on my emotional eating. Thanks to logging everything I eat (and writing down what was going on when I decided to eat), I finally was able to pinpoint what triggers my emotional eating. After that, I had some small victories such as not rushing to the nearest source of comfort food when I experienced a trigger.

    Other victories-- when I got my dog from the shelter a month and a half ago, he was overweight. I am happy to say that he is now at a healthy weight! :)

    Alrighty, just updating for myself since today is April 1st.

    SW:172.8
    CW:161
    GW for April 155 (-6lbs)
    UGW: 140-145

    Check in dates:
    4/5 159.6 down 1.4 lbs from April 1st. I have 4.4lbs to go for the month.
    4/12 158.2 down 1.4 lbs from April 5th, down 2.8 lbs for the month. 3.2 lbs for my goal weight for the month of April.
    4/19
    4/26
    4/30

    I'll have to revamp my way to achieve this as its been way too cold to jog here in PA. Hopefully winter is finally at an end. I have stuck to jm30ds and walks with my son where I've been able to get out since it's been cold.


    I plan on achieving this by logging everything I eat, giving up eating out for the whole month, jm30ds (actually finishing it this time), and jogging 3x/week.

    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)
    April 12th: 105.7 kg, up 0.3 kg <-- whelp, I need to work harder to make school + fitness work together better, so hopefully next week I'll be out of the red and down some.

    Can I please join this april challenge? I'am kind of stuck in my weight place. Since january I lost 3 kg, and the story is, I lose a few pounds en put them back on and then I lose a few and put them back on etc. Very frustrating, so I can really use the support.

    SW: 84
    CW: 80
    GW for april: 78 kg!
    UGW: (I guess that stand for ultimate goal weight?) 68!

    Oh btw I'm 174 cm tall.

    My personal daily focus:
    Workout at least 3 times a week
    Keep focus on my kcal goal! (+/- 1500 kcal a day)
    Don't snack late at night

    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.)
    UGW: 130
