Hey, Ron, what is your weight loss goal for this month now that you are starting to work under 200?

Well I want to be at 190 by the end of this month. I started walking at a local metro park today . I walked for an Hour . I hope the weather is nice next weekend so i can continue to keep walking untill my goal is completed

uggghhh... fibromyalgia acted up on me this week... in bed/on sofa for a couple of days... no activity and my weigh in this morning showed... went back up to 220.8 increase of .6 lbs. *guess dairy queen last night didnt help.

back on track next week.

I have updated the totals.

Wow! Lindamary123, you have exceeded your goal! Just think, you still have the rest of the month to lose a bit more.

Nappingbeauty, you still have made progress this month and sometimes our health just doesn't always cooperate. Hopefully, you are feeling better soon!

Ron, you are amazing, I have seen in some other posts that you are really working hard to meet your goals. Very inspiring!

I haven't lost any more so I know I won't meet goal, but I am still trying to get a bit more off before the end of the month. Unfortunately, my food choices haven't been great, although for the most part my portions have been good so I think that is helping me to keep from gaining too much. Also, I am drinking at least 64 oz water, but it's time to bump that back up for some real weight loss. As for exercise, I am still doing poorly there, but I now have additional motivation. My DD21 is planning to marry in about 2 years, plus DH said we could do our 15th anniversary in WDW. Definitely some goals to work towards.

Everyone have a great week.

I lost 1/2 a lb this week. I'm actually happy for that as I was convinced I was going to gain. My eating was poor, and I couldn't exercise due to some knee problems.

The knee is feeling great for the first time in over a week so I'm looking to get started with the exercise again tonight.

That's wonderful - great job!!!

I checked back through this thread and realized that I did not check in last week at all -- probably out of shame. So I'll net my last Friday weigh-in with today's for a total of 1.2 lbs down. That gives me a grand total for April of 2.2 lbs. I don't think I made my goal for the month, but am moving in the right direction. Thanks guys!!!

Hey, small gains add up to larger ones in the the long run and I am right behind you.

I finally lost the extra few lbs that I had put on around Easter, plus I am down another .2 lbs.

At least I know that I am back on the losing side again. Everyone have a great weekend.

Well I haven't been able to check-in all month. I knew it was going to be hectic between family visiting and then us traveling up north to vist family and a wedding.
So as of today, I have lost Zero... on the positive side I have gained Zero, which is quiet an accomplishment knowing what I ate and when I ate... can anyone say zeppoles with extra powdered sugar and late nights out eating desserts!!

 

[Lesli54]

Down another .2 lbs. I know it isn't much, but at least it is progress. I have been running around all week trying to get a home improvement project done, so hopefully, I will see more lbs down since I haven't had much time to sit. Food has been pretty good lately.

I try to update on Friday.

 

[If U Had Wings]

I lost 3.4 lbs this week, so hopefully things are turning around a bit!

After a full weekend of yard work, daily workouts and writing down all my food......I'm glad to report a 2 lb. loss for April. I figure 2 out of 3 is not too bad. Hopefully I can lose a few more in May. The next two weekends will be a challenge. This weekend we have an 80th birthday dinner for my FIL. Next weekend my son graduates from college and we will be going to two graduation ceremonies and out to dinner both times. Congrats to all who lost this month and I hope we can continue this next month. Terri

ok I only lost sniff, sniff ,.....1 lb this month
I origainally wanted to lose 5 lbs but at least I lost weight,right .



This has been a really tough month, every weekend we are at cheerleading compitiions for my daughter where sometimes the food choices are terrible . This weekend is no bargin either, altantic city and then the following weekend the
PODCAST CRUISE!!! after that I really need to watch what I eat !!!

 

[Lesli54]

I am down another 1 lb, making 2.8 for the month. Not near what I had hoped for, but I learned alot this month and have become much more active, so maybe next month.

You guys are doing great! I figure that even if you lose a little, you are still losing. Sometimes the best that can happen is not to gain more, especially when times are hectic or you are faced with many celebrations at once.

We are down 28.3 lbs total as a team so far. Hopefully, more updates will come in over the next few days.

Check out the weight loss challenge for May!
