    So are the dates posted the dates to weigh in or to log back in? I'm interested in the challenge but I will be in maya riviera April 16-23rd... But will have my iPad with me.

    Post the dates that you are going to weigh in - pick what works. It is a weekly weigh in. For the time your gone, just note that and weigh in when you get back. Sounds like a great trip - let us know what its' like!

    @MiladiDi - we use luncheon plates all the time and it really does help with portion control. For snacks - can you handle raw veggies? Nice crunch but few calories and the bulk helps you feel full.

    Completed the March challenge and lost 4.6lb. Now aiming for another 5. Do have finals this month, but I can do this!
    Silly NSV - My nice clothes are getting a tad loose on the shoulder, which doesnt make them look so nice anymore. Hehe ;)

    NSV=reaching out for support and motivation. Know MFP works as each time I've started and stayed with the program for more than 3 weeks, I've lost weight and felt great. Just can't seem to stick with it long enough to have true results. Hoping this forum will help with my accountability and perseverance issues!
