    GW for April: 140
    UGW: 130

    How do you plan to achieve your personal goal? I hope to keep up w/ logging into MFP calories & try to stay below the average calories, & taking hikes & walking daily. I will also drink more water & more veggies. :) I'm hoping I could maintain a healthy weight so I can have more energy & have more confidence .:) .

    I was in a group in March and I don't know if I got kicked out, or if the group was deleted. Either way, I was sad :cry:
    I would love to join your group...since I am getting closer to my goal, it's harder to loose.

    I'm keen. How do I keep track of these groups? Sorry if it's a silly question, i'm fairly new to mfp and completely new to group challenges.

    SW: 60 kg
    CW: 59 kg
    GW for April: 57 kg
    UGW: 54 kg

    How do you plan to achieve your personal goal?
    - Buy some food scales and stop eyeballing everything.
    - Keep accurate records of cal intake.
    - Gym at least x3 a week.

    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.

    GW for April: 145
    UGW: 125 (By mid-July vacation)

    How do you plan to achieve your personal goal?

    Weigh, measure, and log everything I eat--no cheating! Lot's of veggies and very lean meats, more fish, keep carbs in check, only whole grains (and those in limited quantities.) 40 minutes of yoga per day, 2+ mile walk at fast to very fast pace per day (3.5-4 mph) on hilly terrain. 1000 calories per day. Lots of water.

    I'm a yo-yo dieter and that's something I need to stop. Once I lose this weight, I want to keep it off for good.

    By tracking what I eat consistently, and staying under my recommended calorie intake. Also, by visiting the gym a minimum of 4 times a week and walking more instead of getting public transport!

    Would love to join this Challenge! New month, new goals!

    SW: 161
    CW: 144.4
    GW: 139 (For April)
    UGW: 135?

    Additional goals: Show up and finish my first 5K I am running on April 20th!!! Eat less processed foods. No soda. More water. More fruits and vegetables. No emotional eating... Period. Watch sodium levels more closely. Enjoy the warmer weather. Possibly go bathing suit shopping by the end of the month? :) Be proud of myself for what I have already achieved and what I will achieve!

    How I am going to achieve my goal: Log everything, don't restrict myself from foods I love which will prevent the need for me to cheat or overdo it, maintain a positive attitude (I know I can do this), finish 30DS by the middle of the month (starting Level 3 on Wednesday) then begin the Ripped in 30 DVD. Get outside more with my children! Reward myself more (no, not with food).

    Weigh in Dates:
