    Friday, March 30th: 162.8
    Friday, April 6th: 163.2 (+0.4)
    Friday, April 13th: 161.2 (-1.6 from first week)
    Friday, April 20th: 160.6 (-2.2)
    Friday, April 27th: 158.6 (-4.2)

    The last week in March, I started gradually upping my calories from 1400 to now 1790 (I'm 5'8"). Even though I didn't make the 5 lbs, I'm still super happy about my loss! Being stuck at a plateau and gaining/losing the same 2 lbs for months made me appreciate any loss at all.

    Let's do it again in May!

    Friday, April 13th: 137 - ugh!
    Friday, April 20th: 134.4 - yay! - 3 down!
    Friday, April 27th: 135 - hmm, only down 2 total. I did lift heavy this week perhaps it is water weight. I'm not concerned however, I feel great, I look great, and I am getting fitter and fitter every. I've been very inspired by all of you and I wish you the best as you continue your journey to being fit!

    Total weight lost for the month of April was 10 lbs. I'm very disappointed in only losing 1 lb. this week, but when I look at the whole month it's not to bad.

    Just under 2 pounds not quite what I was hoping for but down is good. I got a HRM to have more accurate calorie burn info and that has helped me get back on track. The numbers MFP was giving me were WAY off. Going to try for another 5 in May. Starting Insanity so it should be fun. I did manage to leave the 230's behind, woohoo!!

    Friday, April 13th: 126.8 lbs
    Friday, April 20th: 124.8 lbs - At goal!! Now I need to work to stay there-that's the scariest part for me!?? :/
    Friday, April 27th: 124 lbs - Been a rough week-didnt make it to my goal weight for my "official" weigh in day on Monday and had some really bad days but hopefully I'm back on track again. Going away this weekend but hopefully I will still make it to goal on my official weigh-in day this Monday and officially start maintenance!!

    Friday, April 6th: 229.8 Hey, not too bad!!
    Friday, April 13th: 228.6 I'm happy to see this decline, I hope this trend continues. I'm upping my water to 14 8oz glasses of water, so far I think that's helped!!
    Friday, April 20th: 229.8 (Pardon my french) Well *kitten*. Back to 229.8lbs and up at least .5inches or more on all measurements. What in the HELL?! I'm so confused with what's happening. I wish I could just figure out what I'm doing wrong. Nothing is different!! Well I added drinking MORE water but that shouldn't make me gain inches or weight should it?! It didn't before!!
    Friday, April 27th: 228.4 Well that's not 5 pounds, but that's something...

    So this month was discouraging for me. Gonna keep pushing through .... a loss is a loss, right? Better than a gain and even if I didn't hit the 5 pound goal, I can try again for Mary.

    NSV: Being able to do several push-ups in plank position rather than on my knees! Huge victory for me!!

    CW: 177.6
    GW for April: 172.6
    GW: 140

    3/31 - 177.6
    4/6 - 179.2 (period week - expected this)
    4/13 - 176.8
    4/20 - Spiked up to 179 AGAIN and I cannot figure out why! Victory though in that I didn't use it as an excuse to de-rail and kept plugging along. May have been sodium based as I was back down again this week.
    4/27 - 176
    4/30 -

    May weigh myself again Monday to see where I'm at, but I usually only weigh myself once a week on Fridays.

    So down 1.6 this month. And 5.6 for the past two months. I'll take it.
