Down another .2 pounds. Today's weight is 149.8. Three weeks ago I was 154. If I can manage to loose .8 pounds in the next 3 days I'll make my 5 pounds!!0

well I have been bouncing like a lunatic all month but my ending weight is 150.2 yay. so I guess that means that I have lost somewhere around 2 pounds.0

FINALLY the scale was nice to me this morning after the Easter eating debacle. I'm working my butt off this week to make Friday's final weigh in a success.
Hope everyone is having a great day!0 -
Well the end of the month is almost here, how is every one doing? I will not make my goal this month. It has been a bad combination of things. Up until this past week I had the exercise thing going great, now the kid's spring sports are kicking in and it has been a crazy week. I got my Monday weight lifting done and here it is Thursday and that is the only exercise session I have had this week. I was going to run last night but when my daughter came home from school she told me there was a witness reading at church by this year's confirmation class and she needed to go because she is getting confirmed next year and this is one of the requirements for her to do. So no running last night I am hoping to get it in tonight. Which will probably not be great for my final weigh in for the month. I seem to retain water the day after a big cardio session.
Well even so it is time to get ready for next month's challenge.
Have a great rest of the month!

I weigh in on Thursdays....so here is where I am:
4/1 - 212
4/7 - 210
4/14 - 206
4/21 - 206 - grrrr
4/28 - 203.5
Down 8.5 lbs total - I keep a watch of my calories every meal, every day and do 4 - 500-600 calorie burns/week plus as many walks that burn 200-300 calories over my lunch hours or in the mornings I don't intend on working out....so far so good.
Short Term Goal - under 200 by Mother's Day
Total Weight Loss Goal: 160 (hopefully by October 1st @ 2 lbs/week....)0 -
Just a couple of days left, come on all, let's do this!!
To those who reached or PASSED the 5lbs goal, WTG !! THat's really great!
To those not quite there, you can do this! Look how far you've come, keep it going!!
To those that haven't budged or went the other way, fight for it!! So you may not get it this month, pull out the big guns for May!
Don't stop, get it get it!!0 -

55 - I am very proud of you!!! I really struggled this month, and am still up those few pounds that I didn't want to admit to at the end of last month, at 154. I think it's your turn to drag me with you to 150...0 -

You are most welcome! I hit 50lbs lost in Nov and I have bounced from 201-193.2 since then (darn Winter!) and even then, I have seen 193.2 since the beginning of March. My goal is to burn 30000 cals this month (well, over 36days) and I'm hoing this will keep pushing me in the right direction .0 -
Final April check-in:
April 1: 225
April 8: 222
April 15 : 218
April 22: 214
April 29: 213
In total, lost 12lbs. It took me all this week to make up the ground I lost from Easter. I still regret those decisions....
Hoping everyone ends their April strong! See you in the May challenge!!0
