    I officially weigh in on Monday! This week, I've been logging all of my food - good or bad! I've been hitting at least 10,000+ steps a day of walking, weight lifting and making better food choices.

    Yesterday I went to a birthday party and stuck to my food choices. I preplanned what I ate before I went to the restaurant (online) so I didn't get tempted while at the restaurant. I stuck with water and seltzer water with lemon & lime in it - avoided soda and booze. I even budgeted for cake. I was happy.

    You made it through a birthday party by planning ahead! That's HUGE! Birthday cake is not my friend right now. Great job!

    Thanks!!!! I also had a good Monday by staying within calories & kicking on the steps plus a short workout!

    I'm basically maintaining my loss- down 1.8 lbs. Nothing dramatic, sigh. I was hoping it would go faster, at least at the beginning.

    @JohnnytotheB so glad you're making progress!

    I’ve lost 10.5 pounds in a month. I want to do the same for April! No Easter candy for me!

    @Sarah7518 Fantastic progress! By the month is a great way to look at it. When I checked MFP stats, I saw I've lost 5.4 lbs since March 9th. All right, feeling more positive now!

    I’ll do the challenge! I have to lose 10-15, but hopefully I lose it and then use this challenge to keep it off.

    I weighed in today and am at 140.8lbs. 10.8 lbs is totally doable as long as I don’t have to many days like this one. I went over by 486 cals today. That’s a huge amount. I tend to eat to much on weekends.

    I have decided I really don’t need to loose weight. I’m 5’9 and 140lb. I will continue with this challenge but with the goal of maintaining my current weight and toning up. Of course I will not stress if I gain muscle weight but I want to make sure if I gain that’s what it is. I did pretty good today as far as intake goes. The weekdays are so much easier for me. I plan my breakfast and lunch the night before which really helps a lot. I also make sure to save plenty of calories for the delicious food my boyfriend cooks for dinner.

    @Sunshinfit That's awesome, and thanks for sticking around to show us what maintenance looks like- and of course, to get any support you may need from us!

    I would like to join! While 2 pounds a week is attainable, it will be a challenge for me. That would be 20 pounds by Summer ❤️ I want it!

    3/11 157.8
    3/18 156.6. (-1.2 lbs)
    3/25 154.8 (-1.8 lbs)
    4/01 156 (+1.2)
    4/08 155.2 (-.08)
    4/15 152.8 (-2.4)

    Total challenge weight loss: 5 lbs
    Note: I'm going to try to maintain this week on vacation! I'll be calorie cycling and sticking to my minimum step goal. I'm revising my original timeline to ONE pound a week, not two, now that I see how it's going.

    Goal weight for this challenge: 147

    I just saw this today, and there are 9 weeks left until June 21. I am going to set a goal of losing 18 pounds by then.
