March/April weight loss challenge

[stardreamer]

I would love to participate in this. I live in NC and we have had snow on the ground since Dec. 18. My husband and I have ridden a couple of times..but most of my workouts are on my trainer. I weigh 143 and would like to be 135 by the end of April. I have never posted or been part of any threads...so this part is new to me. Do we now post our weight each week????
Thanks for doing this thread.

Hi All!

Can I come back? I think I'm finally getting into the right place mentally to begin my weight loss journey again. I'd love to join you all!

I don't know my current weight so once I weigh-in tomorrow, I'll set my goal. I'm shooting for 1% a week - so my end of April goal will be 8% down (assuming this challenge is 8 weeks long).

Thanks!

Thanks for everything, Possegal!

I was 129.5 this moring, so let's start me there. I'm trying to weigh myself less often, so I don't plan to get on the scale tomorrow. Put me down for a goal of 127. I made it halfway there in the last challenge, and am hoping for the other half on this one!

Possegal - I don't know what happened this week. Before we officially start tomorrow, I want to change my goal to 141... I did weigh today, but will wait to weigh again tomorrow since that is the first official day. Perhaps I will weigh less by then

I did not particpate in the last challenge so I figured I would give it another go. My current weight is 155 with a goal of 148. Good luck to everyone.

Welcome to all new and returning folks!

Anyone new, here is basically what we do. We weigh in on Friday and then post the weight here. Sometime during the day, I'll update the chart with the weight. We then weigh in each Friday. It is perfectly fine if you need to weigh in on Thursday, or Saturday, whatever works best for you. Helps if you let me know that your weight on maybe Wednesday is your weight for Friday, so I don't get too confused. Though I miss those at times and have to be reminded. It happens.

Most of us set a goal for the challenge period, but if you'd rather just work to lose some weight without having a goal weight hanging over you, that is totally fine!

Here is the link. Let me know if it doesn't work for you. I'll drop any of the names from the last 2-month challenge after a week or so. Gives folks a chance to get back into it if they want.

Here we go March/April!

I was 155.2 this morning, and my goal is 150.

Thank you! Good luck everyone (and lots of hard work!)

Of course forgot to weigh in myself today.

Add me in! This past week has been a "breakthrough" week for me with the weight loss starting to happen a bit easier : )

I'm now 147.8 (down from 156.5 two months ago) and my new goal is 142.
Hip hip hooray for the March/April weight loss challenge!... and for slightly slimmer (but more powerful!) hips : )

No change for me this week. But, on a positive note...I have ridden 102 miles this week. It feels good to get back out on the road instead of a trainer.

229...argh.

In my defense, I've been off all training for two weeks due to a minor car accident which resulted in whiplash and soreness/stiffness. My GP and my chiropractor concurred with me resting my neck for a bit or I could turn a minor injury into a major injury, so I've been out of the pool and off the bike for two weeks.

Until yesterday. I swam 11 laps, but it took me 25 minutes (550 yds), and my neck was tight afterward. So it looks like a few more days off for me.
