Okay guys... It's April.... What are your goals? Where do you want to be a month from now? We saw a lot of losses in March... a couple gains, but this is a NEW month! We are starting fresh!!

Okay This is how I would like your weights/goals posted so it makes it easier to make a chart! Not to sound mean, but you will NOT be included in the chart if you tell me to get your details from your status. Commit, follow the format, and it will be a great month!

Name:

Goal weight on April 30th:

04/01:
04/08:
04/15:
04/22:
04/30:

Above are the weekly weigh-in days, you do not have to post weekly goals :) Unless of course you want to! :)
New charts will be up by Monday morning... If I do not have your current weight by Sunday night, your new weight will not be on the chart. Sorry! Good luck and look for our weekly challenges!!

First challenge of the month: This one is a two-part one-- Eat a min of 3-5 servings of fruits/and or Veggies a day! &
Try something new that is good for your health this week! Post what it was, and if you liked/enjoyed it!

    In all honesty, I don't know if that is reasonable, too much or too little, but its where I am setting my goal I guess until I get the swing of this knowing where I should be :)

    looking forward to this =) hopefully ill have a good weigh in tomorrow morning to kick this month off on a high note!

    with the challenges, i hate most veggies (apart from potatoes), no real reasons why i suppose, ive hated them since childhood. i was a really picker eater. its actually a running joke in my house, because my parents and siblings love them!

    i love fruit tho, so ill try and just get extra of that.

    hmm... something new thats good for my health... ill have to think about that one :smile:

    a good number to start with is 5lbs less than your current weight. its definitley attainable in a month if you work at it, and who knows, you may go over!

    I'm so in! I'm restarting P90X tomorrow with my roommate and continuing on with 3 times a week spin classes.

    One of my personal struggles is eating enough of the GOOD foods. I can stay under my calorie goals, but it's with a piece of birthday cake thrown in, or half a hershey's chocolate bar (sweet tooth alert!) More veggies, less sugars!

    I'm in as well. Question though all my weigh-in days are on Tueday, do I use what I want to be then or what I am now? and hopefully liquid form fruit/veggies is ok. I love juice.

    Ok this is just what I need! Started going to bootcamp (T,Th,& F) and we have a 10 wk challenge going on, but that really doesn't help me b/c after I get done working out I go back to bed and then still eat like crap :( Researched my "true" weight via Dukan diet site... I'm about 10lbs heavy which is about right what I weighed before I started college and between my gut & my butt this seems correct... would be a nice place to be back to (without going on a crazy crazy diet), esp when looking at wedding dresses in May!

    ...so hooray for the mini-goals!!!

    Yes thank you for taking over the challenge picki_nicki:smile:
    March was great for me but I didn't keep up on weekly challenges very well. Fruits and Vegetables are generally hard for me so this is always a good challenge for me to do. Not sure what I could try new but will keep watching thread for ideas and post later will also post starting weight tomorrow (I weigh everyday but only post under my check in on Mon so will see where I am at tomorrow).

    Thanks again for initiating this!!! Also, how do you want us to check in?
    Check in minimum of once a week after the weekly weigh-in (this month ends up being Fridays) Check in as often as you want! I will be doing weekly goals for us to try and meet, if anyone has ideas for new ones, feel free to msg them to me! This is OUR challenge, not just mine! :) Because you have goals set here, copy and past your weigh-in targets and type your actual weights next to your goals. Specify your weigh-in weight vs your goals if you want to include goals. The monthly goal and weight lost is all I am keeping track of. :) Challenge answers!

    Hello old friends and new ones. I am really excited about this challenge. I have had about 6 weeks of not doing well but I want to make this month count. I have hen weekends, a mini break to Spain, weddings and meeting the man of my dreams all happening in the next few months and I need to be fit and ready.

    I'll post my weight and goal tomorrow - goal depends on actual weight!

    Huge thank you to Picky Nikki for doing this challenge. We're right behind you.

    PS if the man of my dreams is actually reading this - feel free to message me!!!
