Hi everyone! I believe I'll be joining in this time. I'll be setting a two pound a week goal.



2013 Resolution: I would like to be 215.5 by December 31st, 2013.

From April Fools' Day to Mother's Day, my resolution is: I would like to have lost 12 pounds total and weigh in at 267.5 ..

Week one (ends April 7th): 276.7

From April Fools' Day to Mother's Day, my resolution is: 30 pounds

Starting weight: 266.8

Week six (ends May 14th):

New Years to Valentine's Day: 7 pounds in 7 weeks. Done!
Valentine's to April Fools' Day: 7 pounds in 7 weeks. Done!
April Fools' Day to Mother's Day: 6 pounds in 6 weeks. Challenge accepted!

2013 Resolution: To lose 52 pounds by December 31, 2013! That's obviously one pound per week, and will put me at an unfathomable 175 pounds. :yay:

From April Fools' Day to Mother's Day, my resolution is: To continue losing one pound per week. Can it be done? I'm looking to my previous challenges for that answer! ;) I would just love to be down to 207 by the end of this thing. I'd also like to jog at least one quarter mile daily, which I made a new commitment to as of March 31st. :running:

I've adjusted each point to land on the following Wednesdays of each given date, which is my official weigh-in day at TOPS.
Let's get this party started . . .

EDIT: I'm on pregnancy break as of April 12th. Henceforth, my goal will be to stay on plan (both through eating and exercise) as opposed to losing that pound per week, although I will continue to track my weight weekly. I'm also trading in my commitment with jogging for exercise that is lower in impact, like walking and swimming.

* * *

Starting point (April 3rd): 213

Week one (April 10th):
Goal weight: 212
...Actual weight: 211
Notes: Not much to report, except that I'm happy. I've jogged at least half a mile every night like I'd promised myself, and I got a gym membership this week and started swimming just today (I did half a mile)! I'm hoping the extra exercise will start making a major difference with my figure.

Week two (April 17th):
Goal weight: 211
...Actual weight: 212
Notes: I went up a little, what a big surprise, lol. But it was a few days ago that I found out I'm pregnant. No big deal. Been staying on plan well.

Week three (April 24th):
Goal weight: 210
...Actual weight: 210
Notes: Weird how I'm still following my trend, but I'm not expecting it to last for long. Just doing my very best to eat right and get some exercise in.

Week four (May 1st):
Goal weight: 209
...Actual weight: No weigh-in this week
Notes: I'm off for the weekend for TOPS State Recognition Days; going to eat right, get some exercise in, and have some fun.

Week five (May 8th):
Goal weight: 208
...Actual weight: 211
Notes: I think being away for the weekend was a major setback for several reasons. Not a big deal though.

Week six (May 15th):
Goal weight: 207
...Actual weight: 211
Notes: Sort of disappointing I have to maintain rather than try to lose, but I think I'm doing a good job of it thus far. :)

Wow, our weight stats are amazingly similar (I'm starting out at 213 for this challenge, want to lose six pounds for it, and also want to be at or below 175 at the start of next year)! :D Let's do this together! :high:

Good luck on weigh in tomorrow everyone.. I'm not sure whats going to happen with me. but I'll accept it no matter what..

From April Fools' Day to Mother's Day, my resolution is: to lose 12 lbs
