Lose 5 Pounds A Month April 2011 Challenge

Morning! Here's to the start of a new month! My starting weight is 77.8 kg (171.5 lbs).

My weight today is 158.8!! down from 160 when I first posted on this thread. Great way to start April off!! Get goin 5lbs!!

Good luck all

Oooh, I like this challenge - count me in, I will post my weight tomorrow after weigh-in.

I like the idea of creating a plan to stick to. I have lots of social events this month - involving eating and drinking and with those extra bank holidays, so it will take some planning to see some results and still enjoy!

I will also remind myself to be flexible with my plan!

Thanks! x

I'm in too!

I've been dieting and working out constantly since mid-October - even over the Christmas holidays! I'm down to my last ten pounds to lose, hopefully by my birthday on June 6!

I've seen some good results (9 lbs in Mar) so I'm sticking with this challenge!!!

Hi everyone!

SW: 159.2

Goals: For exercise, I plan on sticking with my pilates and kickboxing classes, and working some elliptical and 30 Day Shred workouts in between, for variety. I'm also preparing for a 5k, so I'll be working on jogging for longer distances. For food, I plan on drinking more water and taking in less processed foods and diet sodas.

Good luck everyone!

Thanks, Terri for kicking this off. :flowerforyou:

Good Luck to Everyone!!!

April 1st and 5 pages!!! Goodness! I must have missed when the the was first posted!! Last month was full of stress but I gonna do what I can to rid myself of much of that stress. Starting with the scale. Aside from Easter weekend, I'm gonna do what I can to not weigh in til the end of the month. Another stress I'm gonna have to just deal with is my in laws livin across the street. So far I haven't had any run-ins with them, so maybe it would be so bad...not gonna hold my breath! Another stress is going back to my old workplace from almost 2yrs ago. I start back at minimum wage (which is better than nothing but it still sucks) and I'm also part time. So maybe not being full time will be a little less stressful and maybe I won't care quite as much..I don't know. EIther way, I'm gonna do my part to be less stressed and if it works into my favor, I may have my next mini goal (first ever massage) either this month or next. We'll see what happens. Good luck all, let's make April count!

April 1st 196.6

SW - 148

April Fools: 133.2
Goals: *Hit that 130 lbs, *stick with 30 Day Shred, *prepare for bathing suit season

Gooooood morning! It's great to see the familiar faces and a lot of new ones!

Somehow I lost more weight since yesterday. Rather than add that this month, I'm going to claim I won last month's challenge of losing 5 lbs even if it was half in the 9th hour, literally. :laugh: I haven't won the challenge since last October I think!

Anyway, how's everyone doing? What's motivating you the most for April? I started 30 Day Shred. I did level 1 twice yesterday and now I'm one giant ache from the stupid push-ups and stupid abs moves. I hope it gets better. *whine* My main motivator right now is the warm weather. I'm bathing suit shopping tomorrow with a friend. I live at the beach. I wanna make good use of it without feeling and looking like a flabby sea lion washed up on the sand.

ok Starting weight is 170 1lbs!!!

I'm in!
I would love to lose 5 lbs by the end of April. I signed up for the 10 lb challenge earlier this week but I know that is not realistic for me; losing 5 lbs is possible.

My weight loss has been very slow. Down a few lbs then back up. I've been going through this for years, unfortunately I've had more ups than downs. Maybe a challenge is what I need.

Starting Weight is 236.8.
