Welcome Back everyone! Thanks for putting this together again!
My goal for April is to get into onederland. I am currently at 208 lbs, and my goal is to be at 199 by the end of April.
I am going to challenge myself into doing more physical things this month! Finish the 30 DS (I was on vacation last week, so I took a week off) I will start again tonight!
Tomorrow I turn a year older! My goal was to be under 210 by my birthday and I made that!
Good Luck everyone!0 -
Awesome hauer01 for reaching your mini goal for your birthday and HaPpY BiRtHdAy a day early!! I am so excited for you about to get into "onederland"!! That is fantastic!!! I am so happy for you and it gives me hope that I can find "onederland" one day too!! Welcome back and best wishes this month as we challenge and encourage one another!0

I didn't want to do the 30 day shred this morning at 5:00. I thought to myself, "What were you thinking...putting this down????" However, for some reason when I put it on the challenge board or set it as a mini goal, I stick with it! So I'm here to tell you, I did it and feel energized and great!
I hope all of you have a great day and remember you are ALL worth making all of your goals and these little goals WILL GET US TO OUR BIG GOAL!! We have all come too far to turn back now! Trust me: if you give up now, it WILL come back and sadly quicker than it went off. When I gain any back, it always brings "friends" with it too!!!!! None of us want to go back to where we were!! Have a super day!!!0 -

Hello...I'm fairly new to MFP and I'm trying to be more consistent with my eating and exercise so that I can get off this plateau that I have been on for the past few months.
Current Weight: 176.6
Goal Weight: 125
Week 1:
Week 2:
Week 3:
Week 4: to loose 6.6 pounds or more (aiming to weigh in at 165 to 170lbs)
I currently go to the gym on Mon/Wed/Fri/Sat. I will try to make the added effort to be active everyday during the week and put a lot more focus on what I eat. I'm aiming to decrease my sugar intake, decrease my simple carbs intake, increase my protein intake, and continue with my high water consumption.0 -

Good Morning All ;
My starting weight is 259.3, my goal weight for April 27th (I do "weigh-in on Fridays) is 253.3. That is 6 pounds total... 1 1/2 pounds per week, a very healthy goal.
However, ideally I would like to lose 10 pounds in April, I'm not sure if that is realistic.
As far as exercise, I am committing to doing Curves 3x per week and walking most other days. I have a stack of exercise videos and should work some of them in too.
Best wishes,
Samantha
Good Morning All,
I just did week 1 weigh in .... 255.5 down -3.8 pounds I did not make it to Curves 3x this week but I had some medical things going on and probably will be back on track with Curves this weekend or early next week.0 -

April Starting Weight: 189
Week 1 Weight In: 188.6
Goal Weight: 181 by the end of the April Challenge
Week 1 Goals:
1.Log my food intake every day (logged but normally the day after so I probably missed some things)
2.Work out 5 days this week (ACCOMPLISHED)
3.Lose 2 lbs. (DID NOT MEET GOAL)
Week 2 Goals:
1. Eat Healthy for 7 days and track as I go through the day instead of the day after
2. Work out 5 days this week
3. Lose 2 lbs.
Week 3 Goals: to be determined
Week 4 Goals: to be determined
I must admit my food choices through this week were not as good as they should have been, "RESULT" not as much of a loss as I wanted. :sad: . Starting today I will push myself to have the willpower needed to succeed with my goals for this week. A friend of mine sent me a quote that I feel very appropriate for me this week "HAVING A FIT BODY IS A JOURNEY. IT'S ABOUT THE CHOICES WE MAKE". Obviously I did not make the right choices this past week and I have no one to blame but ME. This week I will live by this quote and when I post next week I WILL have a happy face to post. Until then.............................'WE CAN DO IT!!":flowerforyou:0 -

Hey guys, I need some help!
I was doing great for quite some time. All of a sudden, I am unmotivated. I haven't done a substancial workout in weeks. I need to get back on track. I am only hurting myself. But I can't seem to get my mind back into the right place.
AARRGG! Frustrating.0 -
Well I didn't make my workout goal but I did make my weight goal and more @ 3.5 lbs. I did do extra walking to try and make up for not making it to the gym. I will do better this week:)0

Week 1: I gained this week. Exercise stayed consistent. Still having issues with not eating like I should. I've stayed where I should as far as calories, carbs, and fat but I found out that my sodium intake has been through the roof. Good to know...maybe now I can get a handle on that and the scale will start going down again.
