Last month I did the Lost 5 lbs in March group. I really enjoyed it and it really helped me. I haven't seen any groups started up yet for April and April 1st is Monday. So I'm going to attemp to start one. Anyone is welcome to join and you can set your own goal for April here.Just come back every week and check in and let everyone know how you're doing with your April goal.

How do you plan to achieve your personal goal? I have been faithfully logging into MFP and working out almost every day. I'm trying to make my weight loss easy to maintain. So far, I feel as though I have lost this weight without a lot of effort. I'm enjoying the journey!0 -

What is sw,cw,gw, and ugw?
And I want to join sounds like fun. I will cut soda/energy drink 6 days of the week....and exercise at least 5 of the 7 I will also log onto mfp everyday!0 -
Katie, I'm new too, but I think
sw = sstarting weight
cw = current weight
gw = goal weight (for April)
ugw = ultimate goal weight
Having said that, I'm up to try this group.
SW = 291
CW = 261
GW = 251
UGW = 150
How to achieve goal? Do more strength training. Try new workouts (waiting for some belly dancing DVDs to come in the mail). Eat more. I've noticed the last 2-3 weeks I've been eating less than 1200 calories. Can't seem to help it with the timing of my meals, and I haven't been hungry to force myself to eat those extra 100-200 calories. As a result, I think I've hit a plateau this week. So here's hoping eating more will get me back on track!0 -
I also did enjoy the March thread, so let's go

I joined the gym two weeks ago after I quit smoking, and I've been trying to go for at least 45 minutes 5 times a week. Hopefully that will get me to my goal weight!0 -
Right, haven't been on MFP for a while. I need to get back into it as Winter and Uni are going to creep up on me!
CW: 66.1 KG
Eventual GW: 55kg
April GW: 62.5
How will I do this:
1. Better portion control
2. Stop eating when full
3. Snack only when actually HUNGRY - then on healthy choices
4. Avoid late night binges (mainly when we people at the hostel decide to have late night pizza, chips, chocolate which I cannot resist!
I think I need to ask myself "Do you really need this?"
Fingers crossed this is the motivation I need!0 -

2. Stop eating when full
Make sure to eat more slowly because it takes a while for your brain to realize how full your stomach is (aprox. 20 min), and the general rule of thumb is to eat until "satisfied" not "full"0 -
Sounds great, I'm in.
