2013 Resolutions: Valentine's Day to April Fools' Day! - Page 6 - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

April Snow · 03-11-2013, 11:50 AM

Ha, I knew there was a thread I forgot to update yesterday!! I am within striking distance of my goal for this challenge. I'm going to keep my ticker where it is, but my goal will be to get as far past it as I can - the same thing that I did in last Resolutions challenge. I beat my ticker by 4 lbs in that one, and I'm going to try to do at least that much this time. If so, that will put me in a good place to try to hit the teens by my birthday on 4/15.

2013 Resolution: To be at my prior low of 198, or below

From Valentine's Day to April Fools' Day, my resolution is: to get to 229

Starting Weight: 241.4
Week one (ends Feb 18): no WI
Week two (ends Feb 25): 236.6
Week three (ends March 4): 233.0
Week four (ends March 11): 230.2
Week five (ends March 18):
Week six (ends March 25):
Week seven (ends APRIL 1st):

You gals are doing great! Keep it up!

It's my TOM and I am feeling bloated and so my weight has been up these past three days. The good news is that today, we will finish de-cluttering the small room where our computer is and I will make my own space space to exercise. I've not stuck to my goal of exercising regularly, I've only done it a couple of times and part of it is because of lack of space (and being lazy).

Starting Weight: 254.0
Week one (ends Feb 18): 252
Week two (ends Feb 25): 252.4
Week three (ends March 4): 250.6
Week four (ends March 11): 252.0
Week five (ends March 18): 254.0
Week six (ends March 25):
Week seven (ends April 1st):

We only have about two weeks until the end of this challenge!!

What should our next chunk of time be? Should we go to Mother's Day (2nd Sunday in May in the U.S.), which is about 6 weeks, or to Memorial Day (Last Monday of May in the U.S.), which is about 8 weeks?

Let's keep up the good work everyone!!

elvislover324 · 03-17-2013, 03:58 PM

My vote is for Mother's Day, I like the shorter spurts! But I will do either one the majority wants.

merilung · 03-17-2013, 05:43 PM

Either one of those sounds good to me!! If we did Mother's day, the next challenge after that could be fourth of July, which would be around 7 weeks.

Tziri · 03-17-2013, 11:06 PM

I like Mother's day and then July 4th too! Great idea.

Mother's Day and July 4th sound good to me! If someone would like to go ahead and set up the next challenge, that would be great.

April Snow · 03-24-2013, 03:02 PM

I met my goal for this challenge, but I don't know if I'll get much lower than my number for today. But maybe enough to get my 30 lb chickie for the end of this challenge.

Congratulations April Snow on reaching your goal for this challenge!

TOM is over thank goodness! I weighed in yesterday at 251, but today was at 253.2 (probably due to some salt retention from eating Chinese food last nigth). As Sunday is my official day to weigh in, that's what I'm putting down for this week. I'm ever so close to being under 250, we'll see what the next week brings.

Starting Weight: 254.0
Week one (ends Feb 18): 252
Week two (ends Feb 25): 252.4
Week three (ends March 4): 250.6
Week four (ends March 11): 252.0
Week five (ends March 18): 254.0
Week six (ends March 25): 253.2
Week seven (ends April 1st):

elvislover324 · 03-24-2013, 04:43 PM

I am inching my way to goal, 2 more weigh-ins to see if I can do it! Tomorrow and then next Monday have to add up to 6lbs. I hope the scale doesn't play any April Fool's Day tricks on me!
