April Weight Loss Challenge
Happy Spring everyone!  The weather is improving and it's time to make some new goals and challenge ourselves to keep moving forward in the process of weightloss.
The rules of this thread are simple. We are here to provide each other some accountability along the path to weight loss. So, you just set your weight loss related goal(s) and it gets added to a goal list. When you reach your goal, it gets turned Red.
We have a sister thread for exercise related goals: April Exercise Challenge. All exercise related goals can be posted there. We love to hear about your success, as well as your challenges throughout the month. We're here to  support and encourage each other to be our best. So, let's get started!

Yeah, I loved the MArch thread to help me stay accountable! My goals for April are going to be much smaller, as it's the month I move home to the UK. So the first 12 days in Thailand I've got leaving parties/meals to attend and all the upheaval of moving and a couple of nights in a hotel, air travel etc. Then when I get home, I've got all the foods I've not had so long, and Easter and all the rest of it, arrrgh! I'm going to be out all the time catching up with people and none of this relates well to weight loss!
So my challenges are:
1) Lose 4lb in the month
2) When back in the UK start tracking my calories/meal planning/making healthy choices ready for really giving it another push in May.
3) Check my water intake when in cold England is still high enough!
