Started yesterday, so I'm out 7 days and I have a son with a birthday coming up - must...control...sweet tooth...- but I'll see if I can pull this off. 3 weeks, 5 pounds. Not impossible, especially at the very start, right? Yardwork ramping up here in N TX, so I'll have to be active... let's go!0

Update: This week didn't go as well as expected, I didn't lose any weight but on the bright side I didn't gain either so it's all good. I started this week with a positive attitude and a strong will of determination. So far I've stayed within my calorie range, haven't given in to any of my normal temptations, on the down side I've been battling a killer headache for the last two days so haven't really put in much exercise, but today I'm feeling much better and I am going to work my butt off for the remainder of this week.0

going to try this how group motivation thing...
Ive been loosing about 1lb a say since sunday so wednesday morning i was down 2lb. But to be fair i just started again on sunday after a month off because i had pneumonia I was 204lb So the weight is just falling off Im giving myself a treat when i get to 198lb maybe tomorrow morning or the friday
Ive lost 22lb in a month before but thats moderating what i eat (only 2 meals a day) plenty of sleep (10 hours) and 15k steps + 45 mins toning and 45 swimming on week days and 10k cross country at the weekend Im hoping 3 weeks of killing it will get me back down to 187lb (still fat but no longer obese). 0 -
I'm late but I'm in! Only have 20 days left but I'm still going for a 5 lb weight loss! Good luck everyone! Do it!!!!!0

I hear you on the headaches GF! Been struggling with them for the last 4 days myself. 1st week in I lost 4 lbs right out of the gate but this second week (so far) has me gaining one lb back. I need to get this headed in the right direction again! Congrats on not gaining!0 -
I'm late in joining this, but I'm hoping to get back onto the healthy track in life.
Can I aim for 5 inches instead of 5 pounds? I don't own a scale, nor do I want to (16 years of eating disorders).
I'm new here. I started logging my food on Sunday. I'll take measurements at the end of the month. Here's hoping that April is the start of the path to a healthier me.0 -
Yeah it was horrible, I hate when Im in a zone and get hit with one. These last few days have been much better(headache free....Yay!!!!!). Im so hoping to see sum good news when I hit the scale tomorrow, but hey if not least I put my best foot forward, I I will continue to do so. I sure hope your feeling better and don't worry about any gain, you just keep on pushing that hard work is gonna pay off.Update: This week didn't go as well as expected, I didn't lose any weight but on the bright side I didn't gain either so it's all good.

I'm new to the April challenge too. Or ANY challenge for that matter. I don't see why you couldn't do inches instead of lbs. good luck to you!0 -
Hey, what is everyone's plans for Easter Dinner? I have been so wrapped up in my teenage sons kidney failure and trips to the hospital and Dr that I don't even know for sure when Easter even is! I think it's next weekend;/ whatever I'm cooking will be a kidney friendly diet which is very new to us but my husband and I will eat the same so as to support him.0

Hmm....I started at 186 and am down to 183.8, but my ticker doesn't seem to be working. Do I have to do something to activate it?

I've lost 8.5 lbs since 28th March - 6 lb from last week alone.
Good luck to everyone on this challenge 0 -
We're halfway through April, but after taking out my summer clothes, I was dismayed that most were tight, and some didn't fit at all
Time to get to work!!!
I AM SO IN.0
