April challenge

So I was super busy yesterday and ran out of the house before I could weigh in so finally here I am...
I am super excited and completely amazed by my results this week. My kids were on Spring break and with all the Easter festivities I didn't eat as healthy as I should have (i.e the two nights out for pizza while at the water park with the kids) and much to my surprise I lost 3 lbs. To top it all off I finally broke the dreaded 158 I can never seem to get passed.
Start:160
Today:1580 -
I just found this awesome site and began on the 6th of April but i would love to join the April Challange. Is it too late for me? Please let me know if I can participate.0

I don't think it is ever too late to join. You'll find this site very helpful, I love it! Everyone posts their weight loss on Wed. in hopes to lose the 10 lbs by the end of the month. Welcome to the site and good luck!

I'm a newbie too, but I'm in! This is PERFECT too, as my goal is to have 10 pounds off before my knee surgery which is scheduled for April 30!!!0

Up over 1 pound today. Darn that pumpkin pie!!! Well, with Easter behind us, we start another week! I'm back on track and hoping for a better weigh in next week!!
Good luck everyone!!0 -
I'm in too! Also new to MFP, started 3 days ago I believe. I'm doing well with staying within the allotted calories, but haven't gotten to the gym yet. Too many excuses - no good reasons!! But, I was once told by a doctor to make one lifestyle change at a time and to make sure it sticks! So i'm choosing to be happy with myself and proud of the fact that I'm eating 1550 calories per day! It's the first time in a long time!0

First weigh in for April.........minus 3.2lbs and I am very very happy didn't think for one minute I had lost that much!!! yay!!0
-
That's so awesome and I just want to congratulate you. You give me hope and i sure will keep on trying to lose weight.0

Pretty upset today...gained half a pound...but the nurse said I probably just gained muscle...it must be muscle because this week I was able to put on 2 pair of work pants that I was not able to wear last week...grrr....it makes me angry to see the pounds go up...just think positive!!
Hopefully everyone else is doing great!!0 -
Weighed in this morning at 163.8!! That means I'm down from 166.2, my starting point for April, 2.4 lbs.!!! Still have a lot to go for this month since I didn't lose any last week, but I'll try my best!
Good job everyone!0 -

Hello everyone!! Sorry I haven't been here since I started this challenge I'm currently on vacation in VA to see my daughter and granddaughter. I'm doing good and watching what I'm eating I even took the time to go to a local gym to do a zumba class. Sooooo glad to see everyone is doing sooooo good. My weigh in this week will be when I get home since my daughter doesn't own a scale. Haha the joy of weighing 110 pounds even after having a child. Lol. Everyone keep up the great work and to all the newbies. Welcome to your new lifestyle. We r all here to support each other!!!0

This was my week I usually spend 8-10 days when I don't lose anything, so my next weigh in is very possible that I will be the same. I have noticed a very definite pattern to my weight loss. I lose between 4 to 7 lbs in like 3-5 days and then nothing for 8 to 10 . Then it repeats ( this has happened 3 times). This has been happening for the past 6 weeks. That is how my body works.

I would love to just throw the scales out the window!! When you're working out you start to build muscle mass, and muscle weighs more than fat. The scales doesn't factor in muscle, so when the number goes up, I get discouraged and don't want to weigh in. Any helpful suggestions. According to the "stupid scales" I'm up 1 pound this week. uuuggg:mad:0

I have had a very frustrating April so far. I was at my lowest at the end of March. 144.6 lbs. By two days later I was back up to 148.4:sad: I finally lost a tad but can't seem to get below 147. Now, only three lbs lost after being on here and working my tail off for over 2 months. :grumble: I refuse to give up!!!0

I haven't been weighing in on here, I will try to remember on wednesday to post my weight. I weigh myself everyday though...I know, I'm not supposed to, but it actally keeps me sane.0

I have lost 3 pounds so far this month. I missed the 1st but I still think I can lose 10 by end of month, which for me will be May 2nd. Thanks!0

FINALLY...I got to that 5 lb mark...ugh...I lost 4 lbs really quickly (started end of Feb) but just kept gaining and losing 2 lbs...today I weighed in and I finally lost a lb to move my total to 5. I printed out that ugly picture of what 5 lbs of fat looks like to hang on my wall to remind me to keep it off for good!!! Yeah for me!!
Here's the link if you want it...it's pretty motivating!!

Hi
First weigh in for April and i lost five pounds yessss and 2in off my waist Im up to walking 2 miles aday I just got so much more energy0 -
Haven't been tracking my meals like I should. I have been out of town for a few days and I did eat fewer meals of any kind. I did alot of walking outdoors as well as bike riding today. Anyway I am down 3 lbs and back on track for the rest of the month. I am pushing harder to make up for last week and the weeks to come. I have 2.5 weeks before the month end and I am pushing for the 10 but won't be mad if I get the 8 off. Good job everyone!0

Hello all..............I see we are all doing great!! Well I came back from VA on Sunday, weighed myself Monday morning and I'm down 3 lbs since the beginning of April.......sooooooo that means 7 lbs to go for me to complete my challenge....I so can't wait, but if I don't make the 10, hell i'll be happy with 8 or so...........Next week I meet again for a reassessment with my personal trainer, i'm curious to see how many inches i've lost in the spots she measured back in January, and she'll also measure my body fat percentage, so its something to look forward to. I can't wait. Well keep up the good work everyone and stick to what you're doing because you are all doing great!!!0

Down 1.3 lbs since the 1st.0

My initial goal was 191.5, and then I gained at Easter (195), so my 10 lb goal by the end of April has changed to 185. I've lost a total of 3.5 lbs so far. :happy:0
-
Great job so far everyone! We are half way through the month! I had a REALLY bad eating weekend, so we will see how that affects my weigh in on Friday. As of Friday I was down 2.6 lbs for the month, hopefully that will continue to go up!0
