No Foolin' Around challenge - Final Standings and Results!

[ZerasPride]

I'm happy to report that I have lost 3.5 pounds this week bringing my total to 11.5/10 so I've made my goal for the April 1 challenge plus an extra 1.5 pounds! :Pinkbounc :bounce:

I have lost a total of 45.5 pounds and this puts me just 7.5 pounds from my 10% goal. I can't believe that when I lose my next 5 pounds, I will have lost 50 pounds! I've never lost this much weight before.

Thanks so much April for starting this challenge. I hate to see it ending.

I hope everyone else will be able to make their goal by the first. There are still several days left so I wish everyone the best! For those that have already achieved goal - congratulations!!!! You must be so proud!!!

[KimRaye]

Well, I'm headed in the right direction, only not enough for goal yet. I lost 1.5 lbs this week for 8.5/10 but, I doubt I can lose another 1.5 by Thursday. We'll see. ;)

[hlane]

I did it! I had weigh in on Sat and lost 2.8 lbs...thats 10.2/10 for the challenge!!:hyper:

[Mom of Sleepy, Bashful and BabyDoc]

Ok. I've lost another 3 pounds, bringing my total to 12/15.

There are three days left to the challenge so I don't think I'll make the whole thing, but I think I'll come close. YeeeeeHaaaaaa!!!:Pinkbounc :tongue:

Thanks again April for starting this challenge. You've been super!!:wave:

I don't think I'll weigh in again until Thursday, so I can keep the motivation going.

:sunny:

[perfectmatch300]

One more lb gone for me! That makes me 4/5 for the challenge. I don't know if I'll get rid of that last lb in time to make my goal., but I'm sure gonna give it my best try!

[sadeeyore]

Hi:wave:
Sorry for checking in late:o
I am down 1/2lb this week this puts me at 3 of 10lb:( .
At least it's going the right way, but it really has been slow lately:rolleyes:.

Thanks April :D

Helen

[kayeandjim00]

I forgot to check in this week! :eek: My last weigh in before April 1 was Sunday so I finished up 3.6/10 :( Wish I had done better on this challenge but at least I'm a LITTLE smaller than when I began! Thanks for doing this April - you have put so much work in to keeping everything updated and we all appreciate it! :goodvibes:

[decaff38]

I didn't make it to Onerland like I hoped but I did take off 8 of 11 pounds.Only 3 to go and I started walk/runs of 2 mi. every other day. Feel great about getting this far. Hope everyone had some success . I am now doing my own 1 month goal called MAY I get to my goal? We have a group of about 8 people who are meeting once a week and discussing a health goal that they have choosen to try to accomplish. Some are doing weight, some fitness, some daily flossing , some clean their desk daily, some drink enough water, etc... Everyone has a different goal and we only share if we want to. Trying to support each other any wway we can.

[JustMe28]

Nothing to report on this last week. Although, I did almost make my goal - I missed it by one pound. Dang it. Good job everyone else! -9/10 :)

[nancyj_pa]

Well, the scale didn't move for me at all. I was WISHing for at least a couple of pounds. Staying on plan and not losing is a bit of a downer, but with Spring here I hope to come out of "hibernation" mode soon.

[bubie2.5]

No lost or gain for me this week, and I'm more than ok with that (was bad during the weekend ;) ).

So 8/10 for me, not bad at all.

Thanks April, great challenge!!!!
:D

[Hannosmom]

Stayed the same this week. I'm ok with it, because I was expecting to have some weeks with no loss.

April, you did a fantastic job! The color changes were a wonderful idea---made for some great incentive.

Good luck, everyone, and please stick with it. Onward and downward!

"You are braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think" (A.A. Milne)

[helenk]

Wow, here we are April 1st already.
No gain or loss for me this week, but that is okay because I did meet my goal of 6/6.
Thank you April for doing such a nice job with this challenge.

[CHARLADIZ]

Didnt reach my goal but did make it to 5/6. So I am happy with that and will try harder with my Mothers Day goal.

[Beastlover]

:yo-yo: I yo-yo-d my way to the April Fool's Challenge....I came out heavier than when I started. I think I just ate too much of what I thought was a good thing. Anywho, I'm back to induction levels, and really watching it. I am beginning anew, and this will not beat me.....

[DoomBuggieDriver]

Finally, I dropped that last pound that's been hanging on me for the past couple weeks. I stepped on the scale last night (I usually weigh heavy at night) and it was solidly on 140, and checked it again this morning to make it official. That makes it 6lbs/6 weeks to hit my goal, and I can finally claim that 10lb clippie. Congratulations to every loser here! Even when progress is slow, having the support really helps keep me motivate. Thanks for a great challenge April, and thanks too for that great women's weight training site.

[ZerasPride]

Thanks so much again for this challenge April. It was fun. I loved the color designations. It was great seeing your name color change as you inched closer to goal. My weigh in days are Sunday so I've got nothing new to report on my loss. It's nice to see a total of over 260 pounds lost during this challenge. Way to go everyone!!!! :)

Congratulations to all those who reached their goal and to all those that participated!!!! We are all winners!!!!!

[Strings]

Sorry I'm late. I lost 9 pounds. My goal was 7.5, I think. I got my 45 pound clippie. Thanks for the challenge.

[catherine]

Thanks April for organising this challenge and for doing such a great job with recording our weight loss! :sunny:

This week I have lost another 4lbs, which puts me at 23/15 for the challenge. :hyper:

[KimRaye]

Fun challenge, April! Thanks so much.

My weigh-in day was Monday so, nothing's changed since then. 8.5/10 isn't shabby tho. ;)

On to the Mother's Day challenge.......:sunny:

[mowsie dreamer]

For the final week, I lost 1.2 pounds which puts me at 5.2/10. Although I didn't make goal, I did lose half and also made it to ONEderland!! So I'm pretty happy with where I ended!:Pinkbounc :bounce:

Congratulations to all who participated in the No Foolin' Around Challenge! You're all winners (and losers, too!) :D

April, you did a terrific job with this challenge!! Thanks for making it so much fun!

[sharoncity]

I'm here to report a gain for the last week. :( I'm up 1.5 lbs this week, so I ended the challenge 1/8. I can't believe I'm only down 1 lb after 6 weeks! :rolleyes:
But I have set my sights on July 4th! I WILL look good by then! My shorts will fit and I will be healthier! Watch out - its Onward and Downward!!:Pinkbounc :bounce:
Congratulations to everyone who made goal or came close! You guys are whats keeping me going this time!:teeth:

[Naisy68]

Ok, I came very close - I lost 8.5/10. I lost three pounds this week, I don't know how. I had to triple check my scale today. I'm not complaining. I am now at 10% of my weight loss goal. I have lost a total of 21 pounds in 8 weeks. I am very proud of myself even if I didn't make my challenge goal. My congratulations goes out to all of you that did make your challenge goal. I have joined a new 6 week challenge, anyone want to join us there?

--Renee

[wiskband]

I did not meet goal but am down..........I was 165 and am now 158. not bad, but I am ready for the next challenge.

renee

[Mom of Sleepy, Bashful and BabyDoc]

Hey Everyone,

Well, yesterday I was the same, so I ended at 12/15.

The bad news is that I took that opportunity to binge all day. Just know it envolved tostitos and homemade soup I made for my family. :rolleyes:

Glad I enrolled in the Mother's day challenge. I NEED ACCOUNTABILITY PEOPLE!! ;)

Thanks again, April. You've been a gem. :wave:

[kaylajr]

Congtatulations to all who completed the challenge
and way to go to those who made goal

i hit my goal last week and thought i might pass it but
then TOM so i managed to at least not gain so i finish at 10/10
and am looking forward to the mothers day challenge


a BIG THANK YOU to APRIL :bounce: :tongue: :Pinkbounc


Great Job evryone

[sap1227]

I lost 3.5 this week making me 9/5:teeth: . I now weigh 10 pounds less than my prepreg weight (DS is 9 weeks old)!!!!!.

April, thank you so much for all of your hard work. This was my first challenge and it really helped keep me motivated!!!!!

Christy

[OhMickey]

I lost 4 pounds over the past two weeks putting me at 13/12. Congratulations to everyone who lost. Whether you made your goal or not - you are lighter than you were at the beginning. I'm signing up for the Mother's day challenge. These challenges are a great help.

[tiggerlover]

I blew it. Now I am concentrating on the Mother's Day challenge. WISH me luck, I think I am going to need it.

[AKASnowWhite]

I weighed in this morning as well....and while I didn't reach my goal, I am headed in the right direction! Finally results for me....3.2/5....Mother's Day Challenge, here I come!

[lulu201]

Uh-oh, no good news here. I gained 2 lbs. back this week; final loss is 7/10. Better luck next time?:rolleyes:

Erin

[JulieK]

:bounce: :bounce:
Just wanted to say congrats to all the "losers".:sunny:
Thanks April, I enjoyed the challenge.::yes::

[perfectmatch300]

Thanks for running this challenge, April, you did a great job & made it fun. Sorry to be so late with my final check-in but I've been busy exercising by packing for our upcoming move.

The good news is that for my final check-in I am very excited to report that I have reached my goal of 5/5 for this challenge! :sunny: I never would've made it without this challenge to keep me focused & on track.

[JoshMom5]

I finally made the challenge...just a little bit late. Today I am down another .6 lbs to be 5.4/5 for the challenge. Yeah.

The great news is that I finally get my 30 lb clippie. I have been going to Curves 4 times a week so I am hoping that while my weight loss is slow, I have lost some inches. I will get measured April 12th.

Off to find my new clippie!!!:wave2:

[eye R.N.]

The scale yesterday said 138.2 I stepped on it three times to make sure. That puts me 4.8/5 for the six weeks, Much better than the previoius six weeks.

Congrats to everyone who participated since showing up is half the battle.

Thanks AprilN, this was just what I needed.

[AKASnowWhite]

Just curious....any idea what the total weight loss was for the challenge?

[mommyflower]

Well I'm finally posting my results. I'm back where I started. So that makes me 0/5. I have been stuck gaining and losing the same pound. I also figured out that my scale is not working right, so I got a new one. Congrats to all who made goal! I am looking at my plan and started using fitday to track my results so hopefully I'll be losing again soon!

[AprilN]

AKASnowWhite, I'm going to post a summary of the challenge in a couple of days, with the total weight loss, final "color" standings, etc. I just want to give everyone a chance to check in with their final results. :D

I'll change the title of the thread to "Final Summary" or something like that when I post the final results. Keep an eye out! :teeth:

[AprilN]

Hi there, everyone!

As promised, and only a few days late... here are the final results from the No Foolin' Around Challenge! I am so proud of each and every one of you - what a fabulous job we all have done.

As a group, we set a goal of making 423.2 pounds disappear, and our final total was 278.1 pounds gone, or 65.7%. As a group, we reached over half of our goal! Super job!

Thanks again for participating. I hope everyone finds success on the current and future challenges! Hooray for the WISH board!

[KimRaye]

OUTSTANDING JOB, APRILN!!!! THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK ON THIS CHALLENGE!!! :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :cool1:

[AKASnowWhite]

Impressive weight loss total! Good job everyone....and a Big THANK YOU to you April!

[catherine]

Thanks for organising this challenge April, and for all the hard work that you put into it :goodvibes

[sap1227]

April, Thanks again for all your hard work!!

[mowsie dreamer]

Wow!! 278.1 pounds gone forever!!! Thanks April, for all your hard work on the challenge!! :D :D

[ZerasPride]

April, this was my first ever WISH challenge and I really appreciate all the hard work you put in to making it fun and inspiring for us.

Also, to my fellow WISH friends that took part on the challenge - Woohoo!!! What an awesome job we have done. We should all be very proud of our accomplishments.

[tiggerlover]

I have to admit that I failed the challenge. Even the weight loss posted on page one for me is wrong. At the end of the challenge I had gained the 1.6 I lost plus an additional 2 pounds, so I ended this challenge at a deficit of 3.6 pounds. I have since gotten my act in gear and have lost 4 pounds, so I am now .4 under where I started. Just thought I needed to fess up. Sorry.
