April Weight Loss Challenge

I'm a few days late for this challenge, but I'm in. I'd love to lose 10 lbs this month but I'm setting my goal at around 8 lbs for the month because I am also part of a dietbet challenge to lose 4% of the weight in 28 days... which puts me around 8-8.5 lbs to lose by the beginning of May.

So my goals for April:

lose 4% of the weight (around 8.5 lbs)
complete all 30 days of 30 day shred
walk more miles/steps this month (get closer to reaching my fitbet goals each day)

Here is where we check in, I'm thinking?
okay check in for 4/5: 151
so down 3 lbs (I don't think it's a true three lbs but still nice to see on the scale)

Hope everyone had a good week. I had a mix but learning as I go.

Reached a pound over (147) my goal weight in September and haven't seen the 140s since.
I really would love to see the scale move in the other direction.
Need to pay more attention to hunger and fullness.
Allow some degree of hunger.
Move more.
Treat myself with more healthy foods.
And stop eating in the middle of the night!!!!

I worked well last summer/fall lost 30 pounds. Fell off the exercise wagon when the weather turned bleak and I couldn't comfortably walk outside. I gained back 6 pounds over the holidays and then I was sick and hurt my back but have maintained that weight for 2 months. It's been nice enough to walk this week and last week- though I haven't been tracking it in here I have been walking. I came here today to get motovation. Thanks people.....

Can I still Join? If so.

I plan on achieving this by logging everything I eat, staying away from treats & excersing daily.

Hello! I have never really stuck to a challenge but I plan on completing this one!!!!! I am so sick of feeling tired, depressed, fat and ugly. I have to do something and no one else can do it but me! I have no support from anyone so ya'll can be my support. I just saw an article on cnn this morning about a girl from myfitness pal that used zumba and this app to help her lose 123 pounds! I thought wow!!!!! I am so excited to join!!!!!!

How do you plan to achieve your personal goal? I plan on really really cleaning up my eating! I hope to limit how much I eat out and really try to eat clean healthy foods! I also plan to go to the gym every day and concentrate on lifting and cardio.

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.

April 5th: 105.5 kg, down 0.4 kg (as expected, since I've been sick for the last week and haven't been able to hit the gym)
