    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
    4/19 188

    I reached my April goal! Hopefully I'll be able to lose a little more before the end of the month. In even more exciting news, I measured my waist (by far the hardest place for me to lose weight) for the first time in a month, and I've lost 2 inches!

    Yay!! Update for April 19th is totally AWESOME!!!

    My loss for this week was amazing!!! I am pretty sure there are multiple factors involved. I watched my calorie intake better including over the weekend and I moved more this week. Also I am pretty sure there were some hormonal factors involved but I won't go into details on that one. :wink:

    Didn't follow my goal for last weekend of staying on track. A few too many bottles of wine were consumed, which also meant the snacks came out. This weekend I am going to make sure that my weekend doesn't derail me. I could make this work so much better if I didn't spend all week trying to undo the damage of the weekends.

    April 19: 146 lost 1/2 pounds. :) Glad the scale is moving in the positive direction but hope to lose more next week. :) ! :)


    I had a much better week reducing my calories & not eating snacks such as popcorn at night time I am also cutting down on the butter & salt.

    goal for next week: Do more walking, sit ups & also drink more water & reduce my calories. :)

    Good Luck everyone
