April Fools Weightloss Challenge

Hey everyone! The Valentine's challenge ends today, and I don't know about you, but I do really well when I set mini-goals for myself. Since we don't really have a lot of big holidays in the next few months, I'm going to make April Fools a big one! (Insert cheesy joke here about my weight not being a joke)

sooo.... add yourself please! April Fools Day is about 6 weeks away!

Name...........Start Lbs........Current..........Goal.....To Go

Janesays........214.8..............214.8............202.........12.8

HAHA, thanks Im glad someone found it humorous...lol

What do you think Jane you wanna start a Donut Day challenge when this one is over?

I dont know about everyone else but this has been my first challenge and it has really made me push a little harder and watch what I eat a little better so it would be great if we could keep these going...

only 2 lbs away!!

Hi all, I am at a standstill. have a sinus infection and can only keep fluids down, of late. haven't weighed myself in a few days so, who knows.

I dont think I am going to be able to drop 4 pounds in a week and a half at this point. I feel pretty good about that though, I think i can get within 2 pounds of it. It is not like I am crying into my steel-cut oatmeal about it I am super pleased all in all!

Hi

all, got on the scales this AM. Am at 248# , :tongue_smilie:so actually lost weight . any loss is a win , these days !!! Have 3 # and 9 days to go. - actually may make it..:crying:

Hi all: I've been stuck for a week and FINALLY got my TOM with a vengeance today so I have a change to make it. I get tighter at this time of month and usually drop a few with water weight. Don't know if I will do 5 pounds in a week as that is almost unheard of for me on the band, but if I can do it any time it is in the spring exercising compared with a monster period. Just five more.

Others have looked for a new challenge as they have liked this one so much. There is a July 4th challenge, but I agree there might be an intermediate chanllenge that can keep us focused. I have really liked this one; love the chart. Nick

I may not make the 200 lbs I hoped for, but I am very happy with the progress, at 210! Clothes are fitting sooooo much better, all those pants that I bought at a size 16 and some 14's (so long ago), well, they fit pretty darn good, some loose! Happy with the April'Fools weight loss. I will try for 205 by the date!:frown: Good luck to us all, it's getting close to showdown:tt2:

pvtash, You have still lost weight- that's the important part. Any loss is a win!!.and the non scale victories( i.e looser clothes) are often more thrilling than the scale!! I had to be reminded the weight loss will eventually average 1# /week. So you are doing fine!!

I've lost 8lbs and I'm thrilled about it, but will not be able to make my goal. Oh well, I'm super happy with my loss to date and have started a May challenge as well. PS..I'm down for the donut challenge :rolleyes2:

HiAll, I am stuck, :sad:again and the sinus infection, etc doesn't help.. Will weigh in again before Wednesday but this may be the best I can do ( Still, an 8 #loss is good ):thumbup:

every one is doing well! i havent weigh my self im going to wait til/04/01 that way what ever it is i can start over LOL congrat's 2all

I came home from a week of spring break with no scale around me and I am now under my goal by about a pound! I knew it wasn't an april fools joke because it's only march 31...

AH, I am sooo tempted to get on the scale but Im gonna wait until tomorrow morning...lol only 1lb to go!! *Fingers crossed*

Congrats everyone!!!
