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.

Amazing what happens when you have a good weekend to compliment your good week! Not sure if I am going to meet my april goal by the 30th (that gives me less than a week to lose 1.8 lbs) but I will keep working at it. And then bring on May! Can't wait for the weather to improve so I can do more exercise outside!0 -

Last week I wasn't sure if I should change my GW for April, but seeing as how I'm down a few more pounds since then, I'm going to change it. I would REALLLLYYYY like to be under 200 by graduation (which is on May 4th). So, I think I'm going to change my GW by April 30th to be 200 lbs, and then my goal weight for May 4th (graduation!) to be 199 lbs. I think I can do it (well, I hope I can)!!
Happy Friday!! I can't believe it's already the last Friday of April... Where'd the time go???

I had a hiccup in the road earlier this week that caused my weight to creep up a bit before coming back down. This morning I stepped on the scale, and it read 199.6!!! So, I went to go get my camera (hey, I haven't seen under 200 in a VERY LONG TIME), got back on the scale, and the reading was higher (wasn't holding my camera). I got back on just to be sure, still 201... Aww man...
I'm sooooo close to being under 200!!!!!!!! 0 -

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)
April 12th: 105.7 kg, down 0.2 kg <-- whelp, I need to work harder to make school + fitness work together better, so hopefully next week I'll be out of the red and down some.
April 19th: [I missed this Friday due to being out of town, so I'm adding it now] 103.9, down 2.0 kg << Positive, I'm back in the black, so to speak. This was pre-Belgium trip however, where mucho bread, cheese, and chocolate was consumed.
April 26th: 103.7 kg, down 2.2 kg << probably not going to make my goal by the 30th, but it's close ish? Getting sick didn't help, that's for sure
If you want to make a challenge for May, I suggest starting a new thread, since this one clearly states "April" in the title and could possible max out the post limit before May is done!0 -
Hi, I'm new to MFP and I could do with a May weight loss challenge. How do I get a new thread started? Really thrilled with MFP! If anyone starts the thread I will happily jump in! Thanks. I have at least 30lbs to lose and I need a lot of support!0
