    Hi,

    This will be the 3rd time me doing this challenge. It seems to have really motivate me in March so why not try and aim for the same next month.

    There is no particular exercise needed to be undertaken just weight loss in any fashion you like, the goal is for on 30th you to be 4% lighter than you were on the 1st (formula below).

    Each week members should just post how much you’ve lost and muse about how you’ve done it. Weigh-ins is on Monday, for the next month.

    Starting Weight – (Sunday 1st April)
    Goal Weight Loss –
    Week 1 –xxx lbs. and xx % lost (Monday 9th April)
    Week 2 - xxx lbs. and xx % lost (Monday 16th April)
    Week 3 - xxx lbs. and xx % lost (Monday 23rd April)
    Week 4 - xxx lbs. and xx % lost (Monday 30th April)

    Total Lost – xxx lbs. (Monday 30th April)
    Total % Lost – xx % (Monday 30th April)

    Thanks, I hope you’ll join me and good luck!

    ##CALCULATIONS##

    1. YOUR 4% goal is;
    (April starting weight) divided by 100 multiplied by 4 = goal weight loss
    e.g. SW 189lbs
    189lbs x 0.04 = 7.6lbs weight loss goal

    2. For the final weigh-in, to calculate how much you ACTUALLY lost is;
    (Total weight loss) multiplied by 100 then divided by (April starting weight) = % lost
    e.g. Weight loss = 9lbs
    9lbs/189 x 100 = 4.8% off starting weight

    I'm in.. I need all the motivation I can get!
