I am in! Been using MFP since Jan, but not religously....got focused in March and the weight loss has really begun!

NSV: I can do my strength training workout better, my balance has improved, and my confidence in performing the exercises has come up, and now I am helping out the newbies, instead of trying to be invisible...

This challenge has been going on for awhile and restarts each month. All are welcome. You can start anytime in the month and see how close you can get. To introduce yourself, share a small or unusual NSV (Non Scale Victory).

Okay, here goes again! I think I set my goal to high last month, but I did almost make it (I was 1.2 pounds shy)!

Silly NSV: When I started this journey I could barely bend over to tie my shoes. I had to bend down and start, then take a break so I could breathe again. Sad, huh? I just realized the other day that all my exercise is starting to pay off. Not only can I bend and stoop without losing my breath, I can sit on the side of the bed and cross my legs over my knees again! Hey, it is exciting for me! :-)

Let's make this a great month for meeting our goals!!

I'm in. Don't know if I can lose that much in a month, especially since we are on Spring Break (I work in a middle school). But it will be a good challenge to keep myself in check this week while out of my regular routine.

First my scale victory: I only started MFP recently and lost 11 pounds in 2 weeks and then got bad news that my mother in law was dying. She has since passed away. The family got together on and off during this time for a couple of weeks and I gained most of my weight back. I am happy to say I have lost all that I gained. Anything I lose now will be New Weight again.

NSV: Went to Applebees the other night with girlfriends. While everyone was ordering high calorie drinks and meals I had a blackened Tilapia that was wonderful and only 470 calories. I go out to dinner a couple times a week with friends and it was so nice to enjoy their company AND be able to stay on plan. It felt GREAT!!!

Looking forward to a month of losing.

Did I read something wrong, I thought when I first read this post that we were suppose to try to lose 10 pounds this monrth. But now I see it is only 5 pounds. Did it change, or did I read it wrong originally?

I am still going to shoot for the 10 pounds a month. I have a lot of weight to lose so I would like to consistently be able to lose 10 pounds a month.

I am going to weigh in tomorrow, even though Monday if my "Official WI day" and will post my starting weight then.
