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 be really consistent with both calorie intake and running. (both at very healthy levels - sometimes it's whether I'm eating enough!)
    Run/Walking 3 miles at the moment, hope to be run/walking 6 by the end of the month and able to run at least one without stopping!

    Kicking my activity up a notch since it's Autumn (Fall) in Australia and if I don't get into a routine now I'll end up sitting on my butt over Winter. I have a holiday coming up in September and would love to shed 15kgs before then. Need to be and stay motivated to achieve that goal!
