April Weight Loss Challenge - Page 12 - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

No change for me this morning. I know I'm retaining water...hopefully I will see a whoosh soon, although I doubt I'll make goal this month. No worries. I'm happier to be at my current 184.5 than at 189.0, which is where I was at the beginning of April!

I'm cheering everyone one on for a great loss tomorrow.

And I have my

for tomorrow!
I will say this thread challenge has been a great tool to push a little!
At least it adds awareness!

Sassypants75 · 04-29-2016, 11:39 PM

Look at you Beloved...You've had an amazing month!! Your ticker is quite impressive

Tuscany · 04-30-2016, 06:50 AM

I’ve remained on plan, but the scales went up…no doubt I’m still retaining water. I’m hoping for a whoosh soon. I didn’t make April’s plan, but I did lose 4 lbs., which is better than nothing! Here’s hoping May will be even better…

I decided to up my calories the last two days so I would only gave a 200-300 cal deficit instead of 500-600 and the whoosh came.
