First let me say, I love this thread! I'm able to see how everyone is progressing as well as myself! Terrific idea - you can count me in every month!

Mary - Thank you so much for the encouragement! As you well know, hearing how good one's progress is tends to be exciting!

I agree with Mary - everyone and a big

Keep it going!

Karen, you are SO right! Just received a very nice message of encouragement from one of the ladies here and it was such a morale boost to me! This losing weight thing is a real struggle and we need each other to push through it and reach our goals! I'm very thankful I found this site!

This thread is a great idea!!!
I want to set more "mini goals" but for now my goals are
1) stay on Core
2) walk daily even if it is a short walk
3) daily "read the Bible in a year" passage
4) bed by 12, up by 8

4/26 Stayed on core, read Bible passage, did not walk but worked in yard. Got up early which helps with sleep issues I have had!!
4/27 Stayed on core, #3 No , but went to church, walked while shopping, slept 12-8
4/28 Stayed on Core/No Walk/Read Bible/bed 2 up 8
4/29 cheated on diet after fight with husband/failed at other goals too/only good news is I did not shoot my Husband!!!! yet
4/30 did not stay on diet/not walking or sleeping right either
5/1 Ate great/ lost 2 pounds/slept normal hours

Well, today is the first day of my diet so nothing to report yet except to lament that I left my dining hall card at home so no lunch for me today!

I'm following the Mediterannean diet. I am really looking forward to supper tonight.

Meowee, thank you so much for your warm welcome- I feel right at home!

Well ladies - It's been a whole month! Woo Hoo! On to May!

[maryea]

I think we have all done well, and Karen you have done really great!! You go, Girl!! I only lost a tiny bit but at least I lost and learned a lot about how I must be consistent with limiting my calories and learned (again) that snacks can be my downfall. Do I want this enough to be consistent and resist the snacks is my question to myself and I feel I really do so hopefully May will be the month I do it. I really like this type thread, so thanks for starting it.

Hi Mary!

This thread (and the ones like it) are so inspirational. You can look at how you fared for a month in one place. This is really the only thread I'm on here at 3FC. I look around from time to time, but mostly this one.

I'm so glad this thread was started! (Can't say that enough!)

Best to all in May!!!

[meowee]

I'm pretty happy with my April results, too . . . Here's hoping MAY will be great for every one of us, too.

Anyway, gang . . . try to get your final updating for April done today so I can close this succker down and move it out of the Sticky area.

[meowee]

Okay . . . I'm closing this thread and dropping it from the Sticky area . . .
