2018 Full Year Challenge - April Fool's Day to Mother's Day
I hope Ally's OK. I am starting the new thread in her absence since everyone was doing so well so far.
The 2018 Full Year Challenge runs for an entire year - Jan 1 to Dec 31. To make it easier for you, the challenge will be broken down into 8 mini challenges as follows (copied this from last year's challenge, hope that's okay):
Challenge 1: New Years Day to Valentine’s Day (January 1st to February 14th)
Challenge 2: Valentine’s Day to April Fools Day (February 14th to April 1st) Challenge 3: April Fools Day to Mother's Day (April 1st to May 13th)
Challenge 4: Mother's Day to Independence Day (May 13th to July 4th)
Challenge 5: Independence Day to Labor Day (July 4th to September 3rd)
Challenge 6: Labor Day to Columbus Day (September 3rd to October 8th)
Challenge 7: Columbus Day to Thanksgiving Day (October 8th to November 22rd)
Challenge 8: Thanksgiving Day to New Years Eve (November 22rd to December 31st)
Weigh-in will be once a week, any day you choose.
You can post as much as you need in order to keep yourself motivated and to check up on others. I'm shy so I tend not to post very often but you are welcome to post every day if you want.
Good luck, work hard and have fun! We can do this!!

Reason: Add Information and Weigh In.
I'm still here too! My absence is due to a major derailment of focus on diet/exercise. Yup, I took my eye off the prize and oh my how the lbs came right back on. UGH. But, the fog of war is lifting and I am beginning to get my mojo back. So, I am 9 lbs up from my last registered weight. This next goal then is to get back to there. Good luck everyone!
Challenge 3: April Fools Day to Mother's Day (April 1st to May 13th)- 189 lbs.

Hey guys! I had a heart attack on Monday and spent the last 4 days in the hospital. I am home and feeling much better, hoping to keep improving. It came on very sudden and was really a shocker!!
Funny, but as soon as I got home yesterday I got on the scale to see if I had lost any weight. LOL Up a pound. I guess I know where my priorities lie. I have no appetite, so I expect to see a drop back down soon.

I have never had a heart attack before, Kfunk. I have had heart disease for 22 years but each problem was recognized with early signs and resolved before it got that far.
Thanks all for the well wishes. I am tired, but feeling much better.

Scary is an understatement. I never realized what a heart attack felt like.
Yesterday was my weigh-in day, but I had a 3 LB whoosh overnight! It was probably fluid retention from my hospital stay. I'm sure hoping I can hang onto this loss until next Friday. That's a long way off.
carol How did you know to go in? Did you have chest pains, or where the symptoms different? Please don't feel like you have to respond if my questions are too invasive, I have always heard that the symptoms for women are different and that is why we sometimes don't realize what is happening.
Congrats on your whoosh, I hope that you get to keep it!!

I am so glad that you are okay. Have you ever had a heart attack prior to this? Please take it easy.
