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

Whah!!! I gained back what I lost *sniffle, sniffle* (see post here) But I am so glad to be with you all. Truly it makes it so much easier to deal.

Have a SUPER WEEKEND everyone!!

It is probably just water retention....drink some warm lemon water and increase your water intake and that may take care of it. Good luck!

I made my goal for the challenge!!! WOO HOO!! Starting out I didn't think I was going to hit this one, I was on a plateau for over 3 weeks, then this past week lost 7lbs!!! WOO HOO!! Bring on the next challenge!! :thumbup: (will the next one be like this where we have to go to a seperate webpage to update??)

Oh my gosh congratulations Long2bethin!!!!

That is sooo awesome!!!

:)

I updated mine. :) Finally the scale is moving again. For several days I was stuck. I really have to be better about exercising on a regular basis.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

yeah i was thinking about that-- what will our next challenge be??!? we need a half-way point challenge between april fools and july 4.... somewhere around may 15-20th or so. i looked on this list of wacky holidays to find something for us to work towards: May Holidays 2009 (Official) Monthly, Weekly, Daily, Silly, Bizarre, Crazy, Unknown Holiday Observances

apparently may 20 is "weights and measures day" haha. so appropriate! i didnt look at the list too closely so everyone should go there and figure out a good day for our next challenge!

Happy Monday everyone!! 1 more pound gone. Yahoo. 1 pound to go for this short term goal. I've reached the goal I first set when I got banded. Trying to determine a new weight goal, but will probably give it a few weeks. Good luck!!

Ok, back on track. Second fill 3/16 +1.7 cc

current weight 211 lb goal set atr 200 lb for April fool's, just might make it!! If not, I am going to get as close as I can!!! I had stalled at 213 x 3 weeks. So, glad to see the scale move again!:lunch:

i gave in and finally got a slight unfill (.25cc removed) on wednesday. soooo relieved, i think this will really help me! i was having trouble getting in ENOUGH calories, and the past week that finally showed in my weightloss. im not ready to slow down yet! haha so hopefully this keeps me losing at a healthy pace, but a steady one at that. im not a fan of plateaus!

how is everyone else doing? only a week and a half left in the challenge! go go go!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
