I'm thrilled to be enjoying outdoor exercise and activities again! As we head into swimsuit season, I know we're all motivated to make some healthy changes. So, let's do it together! I hope to see people returning from earlier monthly Weight Loss Challenges and any newcomers. All are welcome!
Here's how it works: Just state your weight-related or health goal, whether it be a loss in pounds, inches, size, or even an intangible feeling! You need not state your weight if you feel uncomfortable. Though the thread is titled "weight loss" please bear in mind that the overall goal is toward a healthier us and so your goal may not revolve around weight loss, it may be maintenance, eating healthier, and/or kicking a soda habit...whatever the case may be. Fitness and Exercise goals can be listed in our sister thread: April Exercise Challenge.
Note: We try to keep a members list with our goals and when goals are met, we highlight it in bold, red print! We love to celebrate with you! However, please don't feel bad if/when you may not reach a specific number, goal, etc. Always remember that making positive changes along the way (the journey) are wonderful accomplishments in and of themselves.
Monthly weight loss challenge FAQ's:
Do we weigh-in on a certain day and how frequently?
No, we don't have a specific WI day. When and how often we weigh-in is a personal matter and specific to each of our own indivual needs.
Do we need to post personals?
Absolutely not. Some do and some don't . If you don't have time for personals it's okay.....post anyway.
Is everyone on a specific plan?
We are all on various plans. Some do WW, South Beach, our own plans, etc., though we do believe in and follow the guideline of not going below 1,200 cals a day.
What day do we count our loss, the last day of the month or the first of the following month?
Either way.
You can join at any point in the month, so let the challenge begin!
I'll post my SW at the first of the month. It's fluctuating right now and given how irrationally pissed off I've been feeling and the cravings, I think TOM is going to be coming in a week or two.
My goal is to lose 10 pounds. I have lost 19 so far. I am hoping to add 10 more to that. It may be tricky since my birthday is this month and I lovvvee to decorate my cakes. But, I have yet to do anything I am too ashamed of But my ultimate goal is 10 pounds 4-5 workouts a week
My first time doing a challenge on here but I'm determined!
Goals:
Get under 210lbs
Eat AT LEAST 5 pieces of fruit and veg a day
Exercise for 30mins AT LEAST 4 times a week
Whilst I would like to lose about 10-14lbs I realise that I tend to sabotage myself if I give myself a set weight so to shoot for under 210 is the best, I think.
Hello there ladies I am back and ready for April, didn't do so well with my goal in March but I am going to keep on trying I will get there one day I just know it. My goal is to be under 210 at the end of this month...I know I can do this someone please give me a kick LOL have a great day!

mystical-Let me tell ya... Here's the you asked for, but I know I need about 5 more for myself! Each month I swear it's gonna get better and each month I end poorly. SO frustrating! At least you have an excuse with the stress going on there.
to Avezy44, Airlyeth, FifdyCynt, and Aspiring! So good to have more newcomers to the monthly challenges!
A big welcome back to all you wonderful ladies from last month: Rashomon, NightAngel, mystical and knobhdy!
As you can see I carved out a couple minutes to actually do personals at the beginning before the thread runs away from me with all the people. I'm determined to see this month through and be proud of whatever the result because I gave it my best effort!
SW: 205
GW: 195 - This will set me up perfectly for my 185 Goal for my Memorial Day Challenge
Good luck everyone!
For every 5 lbs lost
