i would love to join in this group too I NEEd to loose weight by Easter!
I don't know what sw,cw,gw mean can somebody explain my 20 lb goal would be 205 by Easter! Wouldn't that be nice!

SW=Starting weight
CW=Current weight
GW=Goal weight

So your Easter weight would be 20 pounds lighter than you are now. However there isn't much time left till Easter so probably be safer at 10-15 pounds but to be honest it is up to you not the rules. I hope I helped

Hi!

I'm Amanda (36, a wife and SAHM) and new to MFP. I want to join a challenge to help with accountability! I need somewhere to post my progress. I kicked soda to the curb January 3, and once I got over that loss (I truly love Coke a cola) I decide to go Low Carb (because that's worked for me in the past).

January 19th SW: 237.8
January 21st CW: 234.3
Mini GW: 210
Ultimate GW: 130

Challenge accepted! A little late on this one but that's ok. I started last year and fell off the wagon so I'm back and more determined. Feel free to add me and kick me in the butt if I start slacking.

Height 5'10"
SW 263
CW 252.8
GW 243 (by Easter)
UGW 200

Good luck everyone!

Great thanks so much for the info
CW 225.1
GW 210
Can't wait to get started!

I'm in...modified goal as I just found this challenge.
SW: 168
Easter GW: 152
Ultimate GW: 145

Lost 2 pounds this week.
SW: 234
CW:228
GW: 214 (for challenge)

I'm noticing a lot of positive weight lose updates ...but what is everybody eating..are you exercising too. Need more input because I'm struggling on the weekends. I do good during the week, but crash on Saturday and Sunday. And not to mention I really need to start moving more.

@krb308 Since I've just started, my weight loss thus far is strictly attributed to watching what I eat. I'm staying slightly under my calorie target but I'm also watching my carb/fat/protein ratio. I'm making sure I'm exceeding my protein goal and staying under my fat goal (most of the time). Breakfast is usually oatmeal with Apple and cinnamon mixed in or toast and peanut butter. Lunch is a smaller portion of last night's supper. And supper is lean protein (lots of it) with half cup of rice or potato and lots of green veggies. I snack a lot through the day; popcorn, veggies (sometimes fruit - watching sugar as well). My husband is really the driver of our latest weight loss mission. I've done this before and yo-yo'd back to my original weight (+). For some reason, I find it easier to plan, and stick to, healthier meals when I'm doing it for someone else too. He of course has lost 3x the amount I have in about the same timeframe but I know the changes he's made to his eating habits are more significant (portion sizes have reduced by ALOT) so I'm not letting it get to me. This is not a competition afterall.

This week's loss is much better than last week.
SW - 247.8
CW - 244.2
Loss - 3.6 after 2 weeks
GW Easter - 227.8
GW - 180 (for now)

I"m in!!!

Height 5'9"
SW: 220.5
CW: 200 (2lbs a week don't think this is too unrealistic)
GW: 165

I just finally got my work out schedule setup so i'm really excited to see results. I'm looked for some friends on mfp to also stay motivated as well so please fell free to add. I"m a busy mom of two elementary aged girls who one is on the local swim team. Good luck to everyone in meeting their goals!!!

I just found this post. Hopefully this is still going, and I think it's a great goal. Easter is my favorite holiday anyway!

MFP SW: 163.0
CW: 161.2
GW: Easter 141.2
GW: ultimate 125.0

I'm 5'1" and in my 30s. I think that my current loss was only due to getting sick on Christmas Eve. Luckily, it's keeping me from wanting to eat any of the junk I baked before Christmas.

Let's do this!!

One week into the New Year and my weigh in day.

MFP SW: 163.0
SW Challenge: 161.2
CW: 156.2
GW: Easter 141.2
GW: ultimate 125.0

15 lbs to go!

MFP SW: 163.0
SW Challenge: 161.2
CW: 153.6
GW: Easter 141.2
GW: ultimate 125.0

12.4 lbs to go!

Height: 5' 1"

MFP SW: 163.0
SW Challenge: 161.2
CW: 151.8
GW: Easter 141.2
GW: ultimate 125.0

Just over 10 lbs to go. Almost halfway there!

Update time:

SW (jan 1): 277.9
CW (jan 23): 273.9
GW (mar 27): 262.9

Not too bad considering that my first week of January was more miss than hit.

A bit more of a push from what I started. Initially trying for 5lbs by 5th of every month. Sometimes more, sometimes less. So I think I should give this a full effort.

Height 5' 8"
SW: 245
SCW: 203 12/30/2015 CW: 198 1/23/2016
GW: 183
UGW: 135

So, I need to reach 183 by March 27th...90 dayish. No less then 15 by original goals...just 5 more tiny wheeny pounds.

1/23/2016: Wow, better than I thought since there was a small 4 lbs gained from the holidays appeared on the scales 1/2/2016. Moderation, missed that. Not too shabby, not great...heading for greatness.

Would love to join too please!

9 weeks to go until Easter and I would like to be a stone lighter so 14 pounds.

SW: 180
CW: 174
GW: 160
UGW: 140

Good Luck everyone

Hi everyone!

Easter is on March 27th this year... that sounds like a great date to aim to lose 20 pounds by! Anyone else going to join me? I love this style of challenge

My long term goal is 134 but I am working in 20 pound increments! I've lost the weight so far with a reduced calorie diet and daily walking.

Hope others decide to join me and I hope to see lots of goals being met!
