    CW: 126.6 lbs
    GW for April: 115lbs
    UGW: 105 lbs

    Weigh in Dates:

    4/8 - 117.5
    4/15 -
    4/22 -
    4/29 -

    I was supposed to go to the gym everyday but I missed 3 already. I got back on the wagon today as I completely fell off last night. However Im seeing lots of progress for now, I believe I have hit my wall though and losing as much as one lb after this will take quite some effort. Keep up the good work guys, beach bod ready for may :)

    So after being annoyed on Saturday that after 4 trips to the gym and a decent week of eating outside of Easter that I gained 1/2 a pound I did something today that I rarely do which is weigh myself in the middle of the week just to see if my Friday pizza dinner might have effected my Saturday morning weigh in. Apparently it did because since Saturday I am down close to 3lbs and I only made it to gym 2 of 3 days and ate a decent amount Saturday and Sunday. Strange.

    Here is my April 12th update.

    I had a loss this week but I know it could have been so much better if I hadn't pigged out over the weekend. :( My goal this week is to keep my weekend eating under control and get a bit more exercise in too.

    I'll join! I need some extra motivation this month.

    SW: 204
    CW: 194
    April GW: 188
    UGW: 140

    I plan to work out 6 days a week, log everything, and really focus on responding to my body's actual hunger, not my emotions! Much easier said than done some days.

    4/5 191
    4/11 189

    I'm almost to my April goal weight! I'd be thrilled if I could get to 185 by the end of April.

    Here is my April 12 update - down 1.4. I had hoped to get into the 195 range, but I will take any loss!

    Goal for this week - not go crazy over the weekend when having old friends visit. I have a tendency to let loose in these situations, and I want to keep on track. Need to stop setting myself back just because I have plans on the weekend.

    Just checking in-- I hope all of you are doing well!! :)

    SW (4/6/2013): 212
    CW: 207 (down 5)
    GW for April: 208
    UGW: 120-130

    I am down 5 lbs from when I started the challenge last week. However, I am aware that a majority of this may be water. While I have technically met my GW for April, I think I will keep it at 208 (at least until next week) in case that weight loss was mostly water.

    I have been able to work on my emotional eating. Thanks to logging everything I eat (and writing down what was going on when I decided to eat), I finally was able to pinpoint what triggers my emotional eating. After that, I had some small victories such as not rushing to the nearest source of comfort food when I experienced a trigger.

    Other victories-- when I got my dog from the shelter a month and a half ago, he was overweight. I am happy to say that he is now at a healthy weight! :)

    Alrighty, just updating for myself since today is April 1st.

    SW:172.8
    CW:161
    GW for April 155 (-6lbs)
    UGW: 140-145

    Check in dates:
    4/5 159.6 down 1.4 lbs from April 1st. I have 4.4lbs to go for the month.
    4/12 158.2 down 1.4 lbs from April 5th, down 2.8 lbs for the month. 3.2 lbs for my goal weight for the month of April.
    4/19
    4/26
    4/30

    I'll have to revamp my way to achieve this as its been way too cold to jog here in PA. Hopefully winter is finally at an end. I have stuck to jm30ds and walks with my son where I've been able to get out since it's been cold.


    I plan on achieving this by logging everything I eat, giving up eating out for the whole month, jm30ds (actually finishing it this time), and jogging 3x/week.
