    Lost 12 lbs. in April.
    Made it into the 170's for the first time since 2006.
    Rode my horse at a canter.
    Fit into jeans I haven't worn in over 3 years.
    Made it out of the "obese" BMI range into merely "overweight".

    Not Much! I lost three pounds and a couple inches, and didn't totally give up. ARGH! Now, where's the thread about what I want to do in May?

    April was not a great month for me in terms of managing my plan, but it was far from a failure:

    1) I made it to Onderland.

    2) I am finally able to wear my wedding ring, again.

    3) I planned ahead for several high-calorie eating events, instead of letting the days throw me off my plan.

    April was rough on me...slight injury to my calf muscle....moved to a new work location further away from the gym...new office doesn't have a kitchen, just a microwave.....TOM kicked my booty....oh and my home laptop kicked the bucket, so I am stuck completing my day on the next day...

    I think it's fair to say that my April success is that I am still here. Didn't quit. Not gonna.

    I'll take it.

    Not much, weight-wise. But I think these are all things to celebrate:

    1) Went from a tight size 10 to a comfortable 8 in the same brand and style of pants (only about a 3-4 lb. loss)
    2) Started running 30 minutes straight, and I just did 40 minutes yesterday
    3) Survived Easter, a camping trip, and a business trip to Chicago while maintaining my weight

    1. Stayed under my upper limit of 140 lbs, and switched to "maintenance".
    2. Had a great haircut.
    3. Fitted into UK size 10 trousers
    4. Enjoyed a girls night out with some who I hadn't seen in 5 months, and who were amazed by my appearance.

    Lost 7 lbs in April.
    Went to the gym at least 5 times a week.
    Only had 5 jelly beans on easter - no chocolate.
    Did have a few drinks every week, but didn't let that derail me into eating poorly....
    Stuck with it!!!!!!
