    Just started MFP April 1st! This is a great challenge for me to do! I am 52 a runner and having a hard time taking off 5 lbs from Christmas. I really would like to lose 13-15. Reading up I'm realizing I need weight training in addition to running. I'm going to measure & take photos as suggested to STAY MOTIVATED!

    SW: (Starting weight) 240 lbs
    CW: (Current weight) 187 lbs
    GW: (Goal weight for the month) 180 lbs

    A bit more than 5 lbs but I'm up a bit in weight due to an extravagant weekend so I'm hoping ~1lb of it is water weight which would make my target for April 6lbs which seems doable!
    Also it would mark my entering...the 12 stones!!! A very exciting territory for me as a British loser ;)
  • Hey guys! I'd really love to get to my goal by the end of april and what better way of doing it together!

    What's new this week well I have been taking "Apple cider vinegar" with every meal is tastes horrible but when you see the benefits then I shall give this a try. Also started drinking green tea in the morning and more protein at breakfast so I feel fuller for longer. Good luck folks and let's do this!!

    Not sure if it's a random low fluctuation or because I've been sleeping so much. This week I will try to hit my calorie target better.
