March/April weight loss challenge

**Catrin** · 03-04-2010, 04:26 PM

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!)

Tucker Cat is 15.5 pounds. It's really hard to weigh a cat on a postal scale.

Still up a pound from last week's indulgent weekend of music and food in Colorado..115.8. But back on track all week, so I'm hoping to see some results by next week.

Once again, I'm adding my thanks to Posse Gal for her efforts.

I am picturing this activity! I miss my cats (allergies prevent me having more felines around) but enjoy reading about them here

I used to weigh Bailey cat by getting on the scale myself, then picking him up and getting on. He loved to be held, but it's like he knew what I was holding him for and he too did not really want to know how badly he'd let himself go. He'd fight to get out of my arms. And, since it was my early morning weigh in for myself, there was usually a lot of skin there for him to scratch, if you know what I mean.

Oh I miss you crazy Bailey cat!

And you are very welcome everyone! Glad to be of some help in the battle!

Do you have a regular electronic scale. I find my electronic scale does a good job, just have to get my cat to stand there a couple of seconds! Good luck to Tucker Cat. I should sign more than one of my cats up for this!

**Veronica** · 03-05-2010, 03:34 PM

Alas, our people scale only does pounds, not halves or quarters. Since he's only got to lose 2.5 pounds, I figured it would take a while to show up on the people scale. It's just too coarse of a measurement for him. And I'm a bit obsessive so I want to see some results. Poor baby has been totally licking his bowl clean at night after we go to bed. I was hoping he would have already lost an ounce or two.

Plus , it's pretty funny to try to get all of this big boy onto that scale and have him stay still long enough to get some sort of accuracy.

Of course forgot to weigh in myself today.

Please count me in again- starting weight 183.8

No goal for me, because it is too daunting to think about how much I need to lose! Baby steps for now......

**Bike Chick** · 03-06-2010, 04:57 AM

Sorry I'm late with the weigh in...156 *sigh*. That trip to San Antonio last week pointed the scale in the opposite direction. Those margaritas and fajitas sure were good though

**kiwibug** · 03-06-2010, 09:35 AM

Count me in this round!! The weather it picking up so I can't use hibernation as an excuse! Starting weight is 135, goal weight is 130!
