April 1st Challenge
 

April 2nd is significant to me because it's the Blue Jays home opener and I want to be more comfortable in those little seats than I was last season. It is also a hard climb up to the nosebleed bleachers and last year I was very out of breath. In Toronto, April is also when the lighter coats come out and the clothes get less bulky.

Does April 1st mean something to you? Join me!

April is our annual family trip to Disney on Ice we always have so much fun but each year I shell out for rink side seats because the view is great but also because the cheaper seats are smaller and my butt doesn't fit. I would also like to be able to sit in the middle of the row and not the end of the row so I know people can get past me. *sigh*

So my goal... drop 17lbs (god i hope I can do it)

I am hoping that setting the small goals will help me reach my bigger goal. We will see. I will check in Feb 1st :)

I love this! I made my long-ish term goals today and stopped at April 15th! I currently weigh 201 and aim to be 190 when I go for vacation February 22nd. I want to rock that bikini! I want to maintain while I am away, and then make it to 180 by mid April. So, I am aiming for 21 lbs by April 15th :D WOO!!!

Great thread! And I am from Toronto originally too and yes- those seats are tiny. I can't wait to hear about how you celebrate the home opener!

This sounds like a good motivator! Summer will be here soon and I REALLY want to have clothes to wear!
I'm going to aim big and try for 25pounds just cause I'm at the beginning of my journey and I know I can do it. I used to get discouraged if I didn't see large numbers but not anymore, so I know it won't start a binge/slide if I don't make it.

18 pounds- Let's do this

:cheer2:

April is when I return home to the UK and want to do it in style!

As I'm not weighing at the moment, I'm making mainly NS victories, by April 1st I want to have finished the 30ds and ripped in 30 dvd's and to see a tangible difference in my before and after photos! I want to be comfortable in my bikini on my beach holiday before I come home, and when I arrive back to the UK somewhere around teh 14th, I want to weigh in at less than my old lowest weight of 168, which I know now I'm above, I'd love to be a lot below, but I'll take anything for now!

Great thread, I'll pop back in once a week or so to check in and see how everyone's getting on!

Today is day 3 of 30 DS, so a long way to go!!

Another less likely to achieve goal but I'm going to stick it in anyway, I'd love to be running 5K by then too, but not sure I can really train for that here, but I'll try!

Go jays go! That's all I have to contribute ;D

April doesn't have any significant meaning to me, but these challenges really help me stay on track.

Running a 5k by my 30th birthday (October of this year) has been on my bucket list for a while. I would really love to check it off. But I have a LONG way to go.

I put in the effort and attention yesterday, so I am one day closer to my April 1st goals! Yay! :)

I will join in!

I'm up for it - I like everything April. :) I'll update SW and GW tomorrow, when I do a first of the month WI.

Mmmm....not really. BUT - it's 2 months out and I have 15lbs left for my (maybe) goal and I'd really, really like to "Get'er done" so to speak. So, yeah, let's finish this by April 1!

CW: 161
GW: 145

I was 243 this morning - I'm going to try for 229 on this one and hope that I can do even better. I like to pick goals I feel like I've got a reasonable chance of meeting, maybe even beating, rather than making them a little tougher to get to at the start.

I am shooting to lose 8% of my weight which is 13 pounds.

Hey guys, I just found this and would like to join. April 1st is actually my anniversary with my fiancé and I'd love to be 10 pounds down. I'm about 5 pounds from the lowest weight he's ever seen me!!

April- I'm with you on the lower goal weights, this one is probably the most difficult one I've set, but I'm still planning on hitting it. Good luck!!

Fluffy- I'm from the GTA and am so excited about this year's Jays team.

Im up for the challenge
 

This is great I was looking for a challenge group to keep me on track. April marks warmer weather and 3 months til my daughters wedding. I started on my own 4 weeks ago and Im down 21 pounds .. My weigh in day is Wed.

Gonna get a new scale this month and hopefully it will be somewhat close to the one we've got cause otherwise I'm gonna get confused :dizzy: Our current scale was free from work and only goes in 0.5 pound increments and doesn't go high enough to weigh my husband (who's 6'4" and over 300 pounds)

I'm in!
 

I needed a new challenge to keep me going. I met my Valentine's Day goal :carrot: On to the April 1/Easter goal!

starting weight for this challenge- 269
April 1 / Easter goal weight- 255

good luck everyone! :)

I'd like to join in. I have been gaining lately, and not watching what I eat after 5 pm. I have been working out 4 days a week, but need to up that to 5. And I definitely need to control my night eating. The first week in April is my Spring Break (I work in an elementary school). I'm not going anywhere, just want to fit into all of the beautiful clothes I haven't been able to wear for the past 3 years. I've gained 30 lbs in 3 years. My goal for this challenge is to lose at least 12 lbs (reach 183 or less). Will weigh in on Mondays.

2/8/13 - 195 lbs
2/18/13 -
2/25/13 -

No progress this week despite being mostly on plan with only a very small exception (5 Thin Mints). But hanging in there, and hoping to see some downward movement soon!

Can I join? Nothing significant for me on April 1st but my birthday is the 19th and I'd like to be under 160 by then. So by April 1st I'd like to be 162lbs.

Good Luck! :carrot:

My birthday is on March 31st, so this should be good motivation to keep my fit for my birthday!

I think I'm going to weigh in on Tuesdays for no real reason than I need to pick a day and today is Tuesday!

The last 10 days have been odd for me. My weight usually fluctuates a bit daily but last week I had 6 straight days of weighing 192 then I started yo-yoing again, but with fluctuations of up to 4 pounds a day. I haven't really changed anything and it isn't TOM so I'm not sure what's going on. I was down again today and I'm hoping to stay down.

OK, it's been another week and I am still 269. All I can say is at least I didn't gain!!
Current= 269
April 1 goal= 255.

This is really going to take more effort. I am going to try to do better this week and get it in gear! :D

Making progress - CW on 02/14/2013 - 158

That's 3lbs down, 13 to go with 6 weeks left? Not looking likely. Maybe I should revise my goal? My weight loss is definitely slowing down, which I suppose is normal. I'll keep it the goal, but would be very happy with 148 on April 1 and finish this by tax day maybe. That would be ironic.

Feb 1 -295.6
Went back up to 298 for a bit but came back down
Feb 15-292.0
I was at 294.8 for about a week and it was killing me. And now I have been at 292.0 for about 3 days. But a loss is a loss and I love it all the same.

12lbs to go

really feel motivated right now, hope this feeling continues for a long time! ;)
Down two more pounds!! yeah!!

I am already re-thinking my goal weight. I have only been losing a pound a week and there is only 6 weeks until April 1st. That would put me at 169....

After hitting a low of 188.8 on Sunday, I'm up a bit today, but I'll still take it.
