    I'm in! Going on vacation in May and I really need something to keep me motivated! I would love to loose 15lbs before I leave on the 19th of May, but lately I've been lacking in willpower and motivation. :( This challenge should help to keep me motivated as well as accountable.

    SW: 266
    CW: 238
    GW for April: 232
    UGW: 140 (will reassess once I reach this number, I have a feeling it will be more like 130)

    I plan on eating more veggies, exercising 5-6 days a week and cutting out my sweet tea. I easily cut sodas out a year ago but have had a much harder time saying goodbye to my sweet tea. =\

    Good luck everyone!

    CW 194
    GW 185
    UGW 165

    I'm up a few pounds from vacation so the current weight is about 4-5 lbs heavier! My change will be to stop the diet sodas and track everything.

    Hi Everyone, count me in! I am a mom of two - a 5 year old girl and 1 1/2 year old son. My current weight is 175, my goal for April is to be below 170, a number I will never see again! My ultimate goal weight is around 130, I don't think I have seen that since before high school. I have been a yo-yo on the scale over the years but my motivation now is my daughter. I am a bit concerned with her weight and I want to get it under control before she is old enough to realize it or be bothered by it. I'm doing this for my family. I want my kids grow up in a healthy atmosphere where regular activity and healthy food is normal. I log everything and I try to get to the gym at least three days a week. It's tough with my husband's schedule as he works mostly evenings and my daughter is in activities almost everyday so I am not able to go to the gym as often as I would like. I do have some fitness equipment at home but I need the motivation to use it. My plan is to work out at home 2-3 days a week in addition to the 3-4 days at the gym.

    Any tips for developing and sticking to a work out routine at home?

    Let's do this!

    Starting Weight: 390
    CW: 379
    GW for April: 350
    UGW: 165

    I know this sounds like a lot, but I only started 3 days ago and I already lost 11 so I thought this was fairly realistic. Good luck everyone!!! :)

    EDIT: Oh, and my plan is to take my dog on a 15-minute walk everyday (we have a huge backyard but he does need the exercise), drink a gallon of water a day, and stick to my meal plan!

    OK I will try this too!! Do we just keep posting on this same thread??

    SW: well it was somewhere around 153 around Christmas time!!
    CW: 144.2 this morning
    GW: 130
    UGW: 115

    How? I will track religiously which I have not been perfect at so far. I will continue my half marathon training plan. I will drink 8 glasses of water a day and plan meals ahead of time or drink slimfast in a pinch.
