Would anyone be interested in doing a 5 lb weight loss challenge in April? I had mentioned this in another list but thought I should put it here to make sure it was seen. I thought perhaps it would keep my FOCUSED (slight problem there) and be a little jolt for Spring. lol

Sure, I'll join in.
It will really BE a challenge, because I'm a slow loser. Also. We are going on vacation for 2 weeks in Mid-April.
BUT there will be a fair amount of walking involved. I have actually been known to LOSE weight on vacation, because we stay busy
and do a lot of sightseeing on foot...

Can't remember how I did it..I seem to think there is a box to tick when you have made your Ticker to make it appear under all your posts.......0 -
OK. I am in too! I would love to lose 5 pounds in one month! Good Luck Everyone!0

Hoo! I am down 2 lbs!
Of course, I'm still 20+ lbs over where I was awhile back when I swore I would never gain another pound and needed to lose another 30.....omg..

LOL oh my! I have been busy for a couple of days and the challenge took off without me??? that's hilarious! well I have not started yet. I am warming up. my greatest accomplishment for the past couple of days is that I have learned how to import recipes instead of copying them and sometimes it works! If not at least I am copying and pasting them. And I am starting to get a fairly decent selection of recipes that I can work with but I still need more. I love to cook and am now collecting light recipes. Glad to see people are interested!0

I NEED to do this.
Next month around Easter I am going to have many stressful family eating situations. That will be a disaster for me if I don't have a plan to counter the pressure and lose of control over eating options. One family member loves to shop for food, mine of course isn't the finest and that just won't do. He will bring on the expensive wines, cheeses, non stop snacks and larded steaks. I am not exaggerating. My MIL will watch like a hawk to see if my menus are the traditional fare so necessary for Easter and family time. She will insist on roast lamb, piles of buttered mashed potatoes and Granny *********** old fashioned potato fudge cake that splits when baking. Which is good because the hot chocolate coffee sauce must be still warm when you pour it over the cracked cake to seep inside as well as cover the layers. Does anyone else have to deal with this? These are actually wonderful people but control freaks when it comes to food.
So yes I will need something to keep me focused. How will this work?0 -
It sounds as if you will do well over Easter just to "hold the line." Try to avoid the fatty extras as much as possible, especially the snacks. No one will be watching to eat those....They'll be too busy eating, themselves! Concentrate on portion control and the simpler veggies and meats. No one will literally stuff food in your face if you don't make a production out of avoiding the goodies. Make the foods they like, but fill most of your own plate with salad first and be "Way too full" for dessert.
We leave on Easter Sunday for six weeks in Europe...How's that for an eating challenge?0 -
Wondering why the 3 pound loss is not showing up on my ticker....trying to sort it.........:ohwell: :ohwell:

Did it...goodness - it took me almost an hour! lol

Already feel better after reading your helpful suggestions. I will be happy to hold the line for that weekend of April. I would love to test my willpower on a trip to Europe! I'm sure you will do fine. 0
