Oh, I want to join too! I'm in the April challenge to lose 9 pounds (From 225.7) by April 25th (My son's first birthday). I would love to lose another 25 pounds by July 4th! That would make me down 51 pounds. That looks so exciting to see on the screen. March 31-225.7 July 4th-200.7
I will weigh in and update tomorrow if there is any change.

I hope eveyone is doing well in this challenge! I have been slack on the exercise front this last week and will likely be for the next couple weeks also. Work (school) is crazy busy right now and I just don't have the time or energy for exercise. I'll get back on track with that soon though!

Here's to another great week everyone!

Shocking I'd still be considered obese with 25 pounds lost.
It is SO time to get started.

I hope everyone had a good week! Mine was good - busy but good. I have updated my post on the first page to reflect this weeks loss :D So far I am down 6.4 pounds :carrot:

I updated mine above! 9.5 lost so far! :D

Thank you doxxy! Same to you :hug: I weighed myself today and put update. Same as last time. Its that time of month and I feel so crappy (venting :mad:) I havent been excerising in 3 days. I need motivation. Someone kick me in my butt!!!! :o
