in Motivation and Support
This is a continuation of a group that has run for many months. It is open to anyone who wants to participate. Post your weekly weights, your successes and struggles, and give support to the person above you!

We met lots of new friends in March. Some of us had great success, some moderate and some are stuck in a plateau - let's see what we can do this month!

Here's what you do:

SW: (Starting weight)
CW: (Current weight)
GW: (Goal weight for the month)

Weigh in Dates:
4/1
4/8
4/15
4/22
4/28
End of Month (or whatever weigh in days you use)

Total weight lost:

Just for fun: Spring is a time of renewal and rebirth. What new event, habit or change are you going to accomplish this month?

NOTE: These posts reset at 500. If the thread locks, go to the last post and look for the link to get to the second installment.

Happy Fitness!!

    This month I am going to try to conquer restaurant food. After my 750 calorie laden hamburger with coleslaw at Bob Evans a couple of weeks ago, I need to make better choices. It was a 1000 calorie lunch.

    I want to tone up for my wedding, and also create healthy eating habits that I can continue in order to maintain a healthy weight from here on out. I would like to be more motivated to prpeare healthy lunches to take to work, so I quit wasting money on unhealthy food from the cafeteria, and I would also like to have more energy to excercise.

    This month I want to start to exercise regularly. All of my loss so far has been down to tweaking my diet. By the end of April I want to be exercising three times a week.
