    Here's my update:

    4/5 191 lbs

    Down 3 pounds this week, even with Easter! I know it's because I've exercised so much. Hopefully I can keep up with my superbusy schedule this week.

    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:

    4/6 - 145.6
    4/13
    4/20
    4/27
    4/30

    4/6 - Weighing in for the day. I am up 1.2 pounds but I started a new workout this week and my muscles are very sore! Not really going to worry about this slight gain. I can feel and see the changes happening to my body. Even if the scale is not going down, I am still getting stronger! :) I have managed to stick to all of my April goals!!! Any time I felt like eating my emotions this week, I popped in an exercise DVD instead and it seemed to do the trick. I actually lost my appetite when I was finished. I am proud of myself for what I have accomplished this week.

    I'm in! I've been about the same weight for a year now (I originally started at 228, lost down to 208, and now I'm back up at 212). I need to get my weight under control for both heart health reasons and my own sanity.

    SW (4/6/2013): 212
    CW: 212
    GW for April: 208
    UGW: 120-130

    I am an emotional eater, and for the past few months (especially the past few weeks), I have heavily relied on food to make me "feel better." I need to stop turning to food every time I feel bad. I plan on changing my relationship with food to help me get to my ultimate goal weight. So, when I start feeling really sad or lonely, I hope to get my mind off of food by reading some topics on the message boards or reading a book. Ideally, I will exercise when I feel bad. Also, I plan on getting at least 30 minutes of exercise each day.

    I wish you all success in your weight loss goals!

    Frustrated. Started week off with big food day on Easter. Didn't eat great Monday night either. 4 times to gym plus using a fat burner I thought I would lose 2 maybe 3. Instead I gained 1/2 a pound.

    My weigh in days at home are usually Sunday mornings.

    4/8: 259.2 (-1.8; 8.2 to April goal)

    I weighed myself later in the day, and I was less, but I'll leave my original weight. =)

    GW for April: 144
    UGW: 140

    How do you plan to achieve your personal goal? Keep doing what I am doing food wise. Trying to walk as much as I can. Continue with day 2 of 30DS.

    General Weigh in dates, feel free to change to whatever days work best for you-

    Hi,
    I'm in too. I only have about 5 lbs to lose to get back to my lowest weight and just need a kick up the bum to get on with it.

    SW:159
    CW: 138
    GW for April: 133
    UGW: 130-133, will see how it feels

    How am I going to do this......
    1.Restart the running (got up to a comfortable 6km and then winter struck)
    2.Swim at least once a week
    3.Walk the dog for longer and further
    4.Cut out the rubbish - chocolate, crisps and biscuits

    Well the end of week one and I have lost 1lb.
    Quite pleased with that as the diet has been better but not perfect - staying just within my cals but could have made better choices.
    Just had a naughty cake :ohwell: so I'm off out with the dog to try to get rid of at least half of it with a good long walk.
