Two pounds down, 4 pounds total loss! On to the next challenge.

Back up to 178 today but after a huge loss last week and increased exercise I pretty much expected it. Good job on all the losses

Still made your goal and an 8 pound loss for the month ain't bad. I also found from my own experience that once you hit one of big weight losses and then jump back up again, as long as you can stay on track it isn't long till you loose it again. It is those long level plateau'sthat I hate.

Final results are posted. Make sure you signed up for next months April Shower Challenge. Congratulations to everyone we are all winners.

I forgot to post this week but I made it in on the last day.

I went for a fill on the 28th and I am back down to 260!!! wooohoo I made my goal, I also think I have made the green zone. I have noticed that if I drink to fast it feels "weird" cold water seems to keep me feeling full and I have ate some pretty awesome homemade vegie soup for lunch and it fills me up! 4 oz chciken and 3/4 c of soup and Im full!! WOW Im so stoked I am going to find exercise I can do now that does not require me to stand (Ive developed bilateral achilles tendonitis pretty severe) and see if I can burn 4 lbs off again this week

I'm still carrying about 5 extra pounds of the swelling weight from my gall bladder surgery. Here's hoping I lose it soon a couple extra.

I need to buy a new battery for my scale and keep forgetting so I have no idea what I weigh but am relatively certain I did not make my goal. I did however excede my personal goal of $30,000 in sales...in fact it was over $36,000! Now bring on that commission check!

My scale battery is on the fritz too, I weigh the same, down to the ounce, at all different times of the day. Not possible. I'm always 4lbs heavier at night. And yes, I'm obsessed with the scale lol. Pretty sure I didn't make goal though.

Forgot to check in final weight of 282 not bad not great either
