    I am a little late to join, but this challenge should finally help me find the motivation I need.

    Original starting weight - 146.2 (when I joined MFP in 2011)
    April starting weight - 145.2 (from April 2)
    April goal - 142
    Ultimate goal - 140


    April 1 - 145.2
    April 8 - 146.1 (going the wrong direction, so joining this challenge)

    When my clothes start fitting tighter, I know it's time to do something. I really need to track what I eat and reduce the sweets and snacks that add nothing but pounds.

    I hope everyone is doing well as we get into the 2nd week of April!

    Can’t figure out how to copy my previous post so just putting my update here:

    April 1 - 190
    April 9 - 187

    Really good week last week! Hoping to keep it up; was all set to hit the gym this morning but my daughter had other ideas! Woke up with a fever so have to keep her home.

    Happy Monday, everyone!

    I'm late checking in this week. We went camping on the weekend but ended up cutting it short because the weather was inclement. It was fun while it lasted, and we belong to a club and we hadn't been to a club gathering in a long time, so it was nice to see some old friends and make a few new ones too.

    We camp in a teardrop camper. It's been 2 years and 35 lbs lost since I had to climb in and out of the tiny camper and I have to say it's much EASIER now. (And my husband noticed there's more room now!) I think the last time we camped I was also suffering from plantar fasciitis, which was also rather inconvenient and painful. We didn't camp last year as my husband had been through a couple of hernia surgeries and wasn't up to it, but we're both looking forward to some more outings this year, if Spring would ever decide to stick around until Summer.

    I'm firmly stuck in a plateau, weight yo-yos within the same 2 lbs or so from 205-something to 207-something. I was 205.4 this morning (which counts towards next week's average). I'm not going to worry about it, I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing and things will move eventually.

    I am a bit concerned that I'm close to where I got stuck in 2000, where I couldn't get below 202. I flirted down to 195 for literally a few days, then popped right back up to 202 where I stayed for years. I just wish I could get to ONEderland... maybe some day.

    Highest weight ever: 254 in October 1999.

    Lowest since 1999: 195.

    Original starting weight: 243 in 2015.

    MFP Starting weight December 25th, 2016: 233

    Goal: 180 in however long it takes.

    Weely averages:
    March 26th to April 1st: 205.8
    April 2nd to April 8th: 206.7

    Loss for April: 0.9 lbs GAIN.

    MFP Loss: 26.3 lbs.

    Total cumulative loss since mid 2015: 36.3 lbs.

    Until next week...

    Move more, eat less.

    Oooh, camping--sounds fun!!

    I feel your pain...I'm in the same bracket of numbers, but I know once it begins to warm up consistently, I'm going to practically live outside! That's when the swoosh happens!
