No Foolin' Around challenge - Final Standings and Results!

[AprilN]

All right! This is awesome - 50 people have joined the challenge!!! Here's a list of all the participants, with their goals (I've also added this to the first post of the thread). Let me know if anything is incorrect, or if you want to change your goal.

I'm going to color code the names based on your progress (sounds silly, but why not) using the WISH clippies: we all start with purple, then gold for 25%, green (platinum won't show up) for 50%, blue for 75%, and RED for GOAL!

Don't forget to check in with your first week's progress on Thursday (or whenever you check in) - I'll change the title of this post and move it to the top of the board, and just reply with your weigh-in. Remember, NO FOOLIN' AROUND! Let's make it happen!

The color code sounds like a great idea!!! I'm soooo motivated!!!! I think I'm going to add one more day on the treadmill for this challenge.

Thanks April!!!!

 

[lulu201]

April, you are creating an AWESOME challenge for us! Thank you so much for all the time and effort you're putting into this! You're motivating me to stop "fooling around" and get with my program.


Good luck to all of us!

Erin

 

[ZerasPride]

Another thanks to you April! This is just great. It's really motivating too. I hope we all achieve our goals!

 

[teachingmykids]

Add me to the challenge. My goals are to only weigh on Fridays, lose 2 inches in my waist, and lose 10#.

Thanks,

 

[mommyflower]

Add me in too! I would like to lose 5 pounds by 4/1. I won't be able to check in this week because I will be in WDW. Good luck to everyone this week and I'll talk to ya when I get back.

 

[septbride2002]

I know I'm late but I would like to join!! I would like to lose 10 lbs by April 1st. I'll be at 145 lbs then!

[CHARLADIZ]

Count me in!!! 6lbs is my goal!!! That will keep me on schedule for 1 lb a week till my Disney trip in 13 weeks. That also means after April Fools I'll only have about 7 weeks till Disney!!!!

 

[BethR]

Thank you April!!!

Count me in. Let me see...How about if I try to get my 25 pound clippie??? I will need to take off 8 pounds (See how easily I can put weight on when I take a week off? )

Our Lent starts today so that and this challenge is great motivation for me to be "good" and to stay away from all of the "goodies."

Thanks again.

 

[arizonacolbys]

April Fools' Day is actually my birthday - so, it's a great date for a new goal!

I'd love to join this challenge & I'm going to try for 7 lbs by April 1st. Thanks!

 

[ibouncetoo]

Count me in! I'll use last Thu as my start weight for when I report in later this week.
I've been on a plateau for FIVE weeks got to get things moving again! Put me down for six pounds by 4/1.

Hope to see some you you in chat tonight!

 

[MHopkins2]

I've never done a challenge before, so I think this may be just what I need! I'm in for 7 pounds (my lucky number), 140 / 133.

 

[DoomBuggieDriver]

Thanks so much April for organizing this challenge...

And they're off.........

Down to 5 #'s gone today!! I'll wait until Thurs. to be sure it stays off. Put on a pair of slacks that I bought after xmas because everything was cutting off circulation at my waist. They are rather loose and I think they were tighter 2 weeks ago. Found a recipe for no-carb pizza

4oz cream cheese
4 eggs
1/4 cup fresh (not powdered) parmesan cheese
pizza sauce or doctored up tomto paste
3 C shredded motz
1/4 tsp garlic powder
Beat cream cheese and eggs til smooth, add parmesan and spce, Spray 9x13 pan well. Put 2 cups of motz in the bottom , pour the egg mix over. Squish around to mix. Bake at 375 for 30 min. spread on pizza sauce,,sprinkle on remaining motz.Add pepperoni, sausage, peppers, mush etc. Bake 10 more minutes un

Fabulous and NO carbs!!

Love the no cravings! Can walk by anything withut wanting it so bad I can't think of anything else.

Amazing how SB works! No heartbun anymore either!

Have a day!!

 

[Mom of Sleepy Bashful and BabyDoc]

I've been off the WISH boards, reading trip reports actually. (Very funny BTW) I just saw this. Maybe this is the kick in the pants that I need.

OK. Let's see. 5 weeks and 2 days for me, so............how about 15 pounds. Does that sound like too much? I have A LOT of weight to lose, so if I stick to plan I should lose about 3 lb. per week.

Oh, I'm so excited. Thanks April. Here's pixie dust to everyone!!!

 

[lmj]

I would love to get in on this challenge too. Today is my first day and I would love to get off to a good start with some motivation. I'll make my goal 12 lbs. by 4/1/04 that would get me half way to my mini goal of 25 lbs. I hope it is not too late to join in.

 

[AprilN]

lmj and Mom, I've added you! It's definitely not too late to join. Be sure to come back on Thursday (or whenever you weigh-in) for the first check-in thread.

[Laurajean1014]

Bring it on! I love a challenge!

 

[AprilN]

Laurajean, it's great that you want to join the challenge! Just post or PM me with your goal for the challenge (i.e. how many pounds you want to lose by 4/1/04) and then look for the check-in threads each Thursday.

See you around!
