Question since this is my first time doing this challenge... do I need to post my weight again today? I picked Saturday’s as my weigh in day or do I start next Saturday? Just want to make sure I’m doing this right 😊 thank you in advance.0

This is my first challenge like this! My goal is to lose 20 lbs. by July1, which is the week we go visit family at the beach. This will finally take me down to my pre-pregnancy weight with my second daughter, who is now six. I have lost 16 lbs. since Feb. 10, but I seem to have hit a plateau the past two weeks.
Here are the steps I am using to lose weight:
Calorie Counting:1200-1500 calories a day
Elliptical-5 days a week
Fitbit-10,000 steps a day
Using Aaptiv app for strength training/yoga/elliptical workouts
No alcohol
Stepbet
DietBet-Transformer and Kickstarter
I am hoping this gives me the extra motivation I need to get that weight off and feel better. I also want to hike a 14er this summer!
I live outside Denver, Colorado. I am married with two girls (6 and 9).2 -
@forbes_melissa, you can choose to have either last Saturday's weight or today's weight as your starting weight for April. Just let me know which you prefer.
Welcome, @audreypawdrey. Hope this challenge helps you reach your goal! We're glad to have you. I love Colorado!! Almost moved there once, then met a boy.

@BonnieHosk85 last Saturday’s weight is fine. Thank you 😊1

My sister visited this week, so I ate a little heavier than usual and my step count was low. I ran 11 miles though and took a ten mile walk today so hopefully my weight will be at least a little down tomorrow.
@BonnieHosk85 It’s always relieving to hear someone say their grown children did well with homeschooling. Mine are just 6&8 and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed worrying we’ll regret the choice someday.
@Syd43 My dogs are too old to run with me now, but I never could keep up with my Weimaraner when she was younger. I had to leave that to my husband. Dogs just don’t have enough pity on us poor slow humans! 🤣2 -
Happy Sunday, Week 1, Gutbusters! For those of you who are new to the group, here are some weigh-in FAQs:
• When do I post my weigh-in?
Post on your "scheduled weigh-in day". So, if you posted a weight in the New Member Registration thread on a Tuesday, then your scheduled weigh-in day will be each Tuesday of the month. Let me know if you have a question.
• Why is Week 1 beginning on Sunday? Haven't we been already posted our starting weights?
Think of it as a first birthday. You're born, then you have to live a whole year before you can celebrate being 1. In this challenge, you post a starting weight, then you have a whole week to work on weight loss before you post your Week 1 weigh-in.
• How do I post my weigh-in?
Your posts should look like this:
Username:
Week: April Week 1
PW: Previous Weight in lbs
CW: Current Weight in lbs
• What's my previous weight?
If you're new, your Week 1 previous weight is whatever weight you posted in the New Member Registration thread or check out the current spreadsheet to see what your posted info says. If you're returning, your Week 1 previous weight is whatever your weight was in the last week of the previous month.
• I'm still confused. Who can help me?
Just ask a question here and tag me (@Bonniehosk85), or PM me and I'll do my best to get back as soon as possible.

Welcome all members ☕ new month, looking forward to everyone's posts. I love the motivation here 💪3 -
Today is my weigh in day, and I'm pleased to say that I did pretty well. I haven't introduced myself yet, but I am a married mother of two college students. Over the past year due to stress eating from a family illness, I gained about 20 pounds!! So MFP is helping me get back to there, and then hopefully another 30 pounds.

Very happy with that pound loss. My goal is to lose between 1-1.5 pounds every week, but this week was so crazy I wasn’t convinced it would happen. 😁
Good luck everyone this week, we’ve got this!4 -

I know it's only 2 ounces,but I'm proud of it. I had my period this last week so it was hard (really hope no guys sees this,sorry if you do) but I'm planning on a big weight loss this next month. I really want to be April's winner4
