    Keep up my exercise levels and make sure I don't eat too much in Paris when I'm supporting my husband in the Marathon.

    Hi - definitely need to join the challenge - I've been comfort eating like crazy over stress of possibly losing my job...and guess what I lost it!

    So in order to feel like I've got some control still in my life the plan is...lose the stupid misery weight, exercise and feel happier...and go out and find that new job!!!!

    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. :)

    I'm SO in.

    SW: 185
    CW: 170
    GW1: 165
    GW2: 150

    Then I'll take it from there and see how I need to evaluate once I hit that.
    Ideally, I'd like to be losing 2 lbs a week still so hopefully by the end of April I will be someplace in between GW1 and GW2!
    Feel free to add me if you'd like to do this together!!!

    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.

    Sounds like a good time... I'm in, too! :-) Here's my numbers...

    SW: 209 lbs
    CW: 170 lbs
    GW for April: 165 lbs
    UGW: 130 lbs

    I plan to achieve my personal goal by eating more vegetables, getting into a regular sleep routine, and waking up earlier to start my day with exercise--even if it's only 15 minutes (Ideally, I would like to start with 30 minutes of exercise, but I'm okay with baby steps, haha).

    I'll be back to weigh in on every Friday in April, and again on the 30th for final numbers! Good luck all!!

    I'd like to play. My goal is to get to my healthy weight ,148, by June. This will be an excellent intermediate goal. Thanks for starting this thread. I'm looking forward to hearing from all of you in April.

    How do you plan to achieve your personal goal?
    *Making better food choices and making time for something as simple as a 1 hour walk on Saturdays and Sundays*

    Weekly Weightloss Goals:
    4/5: 202.5
    4/12: 201
    4/19: 199.5
    4/26: 198
    4/30: 197

    *It's amazing how much my goals have changed looking at them on a weekly basis. I wanted to be down to 195, but then I realized that it'd be more than 1.5 pounds a week and had to adjust it. If I lose more, then YYYAAAYYYYYY!*

    How do I plan on achieving my goal. To intensify my workouts, I would like to increase my jogging time on the treadmill to 10 minutes from 5, baby steps. Eventually I would like to jog for 30 to 60 minutes a day.

    I'm planning on drinking waaaay more water, keeping up with my workouts and get a good mix of treadmill and aerobic type cardio. I'm for sure focusing on a lot more lean protein and healthier carbs.

    At my age a glance in the mirror is an awful way to keep motivated. This may lead me a way to break the mirror.:cry:

    I have fallen off track and gained back some weight. I am trying to get back into the swing of it, so having a one month goal would be helpful and having others to help....so:

    sw: 227
    cw: 207
    gw (april):200
    ugw: 177

    My goal is to workout 5 days a week, i use the Walk a Mile (4 mile) DVD's that is 56 minutes, and to keep my meals under 400 calories. I need to stay focused and motivated, I work full time, am in my last month of graduate school, have two kids and a husband, so i keep pretty busy. I have to take time for myself and fit in the exercise!
