    Starting weight: 201 (March 2017)
    Weight on Halloween: 188.6

    April Fools is on a Sunday next year. I will be posting my weight on Saturdays. I'll start with this past Saturday and I aim to be in the mid 170's by April 1st!

    Oct. 28: 187.4
    Nov. 4: 187.6
    Nov. 11: 188.8 Wrong direction!!! But at least it's still in the 80's
    Nov. 18: 189.6 So I'm REALLY upset with myself. And I thought absout lying and saying that I couldn't weigh today. But weight loss is not linear and I know I'll look back on this eventually and be totally over it because I'll have lost weight. The scale flashed 190.2 before changing its mind and I was really upset. I need to SMARTEN UP. This time next week the number gonna be different. Promise.
    Nov. 25: 189.2 This past week is did better. I even saw 188.4 before yucky TOM hit and made me feel all bloated and nasty. At least this is still technically an improvement on last week. I'm feel more in control now which is good. The closer Christmas gets the more I realize that my mini goal of 184 is not realistic. So I've changed it to 187.0. Maybe I'll be able to see 186.0 by New Years Day?

    Joining this challenge late. I turn 40 on April 5th and it will be the best birthday gift to myself if I'm happy with what I see in the mirror and how I feel.

    My weight loss goal is 145 lbs with 25% body fat. I hope to be maintaining that by April 1, or at least reach it by then.

    Weighing Sundays, including calculated body fat% using two methods.

    Nov. 26: 160.5
    Dec. 03: 160.0, bf 27% - 33% calculated
    Dec. 10: 161.5, bf 25% measured *

    Going the wrong way, this week has not been good.

    *I bought body fat calipers, and using 7-point measuring it says I AM at 25% body fat already. That doesn't ring true to me based on what my body composition looks like so it may be off (it's cheap) but using that as a starting point my new April 1 goal is 20% body fat by those calipers to look/be healthy.
