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!

Sorry, I cannot figure out how to get the ticker to work. Maybe I will by goal. I started at 214 in July, 2008, I'm 179 now, and my goal would be to lose 12 by April Fools.

MsNick.

Can you get me in? Want to get to 210 by March 17th, and maybe 200 April 1st! that would be great. Tell me how to add the challenge to my ticker?? do I create a new one??

Thanks again, and good luck:thumbup: Patti with a smile

Y'all are in, but pvtash61, you need to copy and then edit your start(todays) weight for start and current where I have the ? marks now. Then put in the "to go" OR, post your weight now and I will fix it for you.

I'm so glad everyone is so into this idea! And thank you very much crzytchr for updating everyone!

If you are lost out there and want to know how to do this, find the most recent post (next person would quote crzytchr), press "quote" under their post, and in the message box delete "quote-- their name" and everything else before it has a B in brackets before Name...start lbs... etc. Then, find or put your name in alphabetical order in the list and update your weight data. At the bottom of the message, delete the word "/quote" in brackets, but that part isn't all that important.

Oh, and as for the ticker, I made mine at ticker factory, copied the bbCode when I was done, clicked on "user cp" up at the top on lap band talk, edit signature, and put that code in. Hope this helps!

Please add me to the list. I am at 223, and I want to be at 215 by April 1st. Thanks!

can someone change my goal to 250 (total of 14 lbs)? It is really bugging me that it's 252, and not 250. (anal much??) Thanks!

Ok, you are in. And now, Kristi you are fixed.

Great idea! Count me in. Not setting my goal too high though. I am getting close to goal-weight loss is slow now.
