Default Fool me once..... Mini-challenge

Anybody interested in a short, 2 week mini-challenge?

It turns out that April Fools' Day is exactly 2 weeks from today --- and I was thinking that might be a perfect time frame for evicting the 2 pounds I didn't lose for my St. Paddy's goal (and their cousin from Dublin that showed up on my scale this morning, darn it!) April Fools' is a great excuse to relax and laugh, maybe mix healthy eating with balloons and clowns and jokes.....

I mean, its not like those silly pounds of fat have anything to fear from clowns, right?

Mwahahahahaha!


Any takers or is this just too short/too silly/too soon?

I'm game. Since it is still relatively early for me I'll set a goal of 5 pounds in two weeks.

I'm in for 3 pounds. I'm not accustomed to setting goals, and never count calories, so I'll stick with something that I think is very achievable.

Today: 302
4/1: 299 - and the achievement of my first goal!

OOOh a new burst-of-energy challenge, I'm in too!!! I'll aim high, five for me too....261----ummm----yes that makes 256.

I've been a 100lb club lurker for awhile and have been waiting for a good time to jump in and chit-chat this may be it!

I'm a 33 yr old mom of two (Robert 9 and Rachel 5) and wife to Mike(12 years this December!). I work three days a week, 7p-7a midnights at the local hospital. I'm a nurse and specialize in diabetic education and kidney dysfunction (hemo and peritoneal dialysis) Yes. It is as interesting as it sounds. But I like it and I love nights though it wrecks havoc on my clock.

So....two weeks to the day? I didn't realize! Thanks for the invite! xo Michelle

Oh and Sandi said it before I did...that clown is CREEPY! But I like it!

I could use a new goal too! My little challenge ends tomorrow, so perfect time to try something else! I am losing pretty darn slow, so I am going to go with 3 pounds! Good luck everyone!!

Hi NurseMichelle!

Welcome to the 100lb club. I live quite close to you (just up in Kent!). Are you enjoying our gorgeous weather? Helps to get outside and be active when it's this beautiful out.

Anyways, I'm in for 5lbs!

My weight's been crazy past few days, so I'll aim for just 3 lbs, putting me at 262.

Let's all do it! Fight-O! Fight-O!

Okay, I'll delurk too. 3 lbs. by April Fools Day sounds doable. The weight just doesn't come off as quickly as it used to when you get to my age (53).

Hi gang! Hi Onyx!!! Awesome that you live so close...yep, I'm in Canton, I can't remember if my profile says that or not. I don't think I've met anyone on here this close!!

Just got back from the gym!! 50 min cardio today is all I had time for. But I feel GREAT! I've only been back on plan for one week.

To do list...shower, take kids to Chick Fil-a for school fundraiser night, drop kids off and make a show at a calling hours and off to work all by 7p. Run run run.....what do you guys order from Chick Fil-a? I suppose any responses I get will be after the fact, but I'm curious. I think they have a fruit cup on the menu. Plus I think the reg chicken sandwich has a wheat bun. Yes it is fried though.

I usually stay really on plan overnight at work. Talk to ya'll tomorrow. xo Michelle
