Longer days and our first full month of spring are good motivators for meeting our weight loss goals. Let's hop to it!

Join the April Weight Loss Challenge to set your goal, track it, and meet it -- with the help of a supportive and encouraging group. All the goals will be compiled into a list. As each goal is met during the month, it gets turned RED in celebration.

This thread is for weight loss goals. For your exercise goals, check out our sister thread: April Exercise Challenge - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Since I've been on a losing streak recently, I'm going to aim for a kilogram again. That will put me below my redline of 87.5 for the first time in months, which would be really great, since I intend not to go over my redline, at all.

April goal: -1 kg, Weigh 20x

1: 87.9, 1/20x

[MrBadger]

start: 15st 1.75lb / 21.75lb
target: 14st 13lb / 209lb
target loss: 2.75lb

I want to get down into the 14st something's this month. I've been far too sedentary over the winter, so I'm going to make an effort to get out & be a bit more active.

I didn’t meet me March goal & in fact I went up. Here’s to better luck in April. I’m going away the end of April so my month will end on April 25.
My goal is 177.3 (-3lbs)
4/3: 180.3

[gardenerjoy]

I got below my red line -- yay! Now, the job is to keep it there.

well done Joy & Wendy - that's a great start to the month.

I just wanted to note this in case I put it back on again.

4st 0.25lb stone lost total now, which I'm really happy about. 1lb to go until I'm in the "just" overweight BMI range.

You’re doing well Joy.
Me, a bit of yo-yo… between going to my MIL for Easter on Sunday & been too busy to cook so take out for a few days….
1 more week of crazy at work then I can get it together a little better.
hopefully some of this is just “water weight” from excess sodium 🤞 and it will come off quick.

I seem to be maintaining at a weight just above my redline of 87.5kgs. But given that I was maintaining several pounds above that all winter, I'll take it, for now.

How are you doing as we go into the weekend, Wendy and MrBadger?

I’m mainly maintaining… now is the time I can put in a little more effort. We are going away in a week, so probably won’t meet my goal for the month, but as long as I don’t go up, I’m ok with it (for now).

Wendy: I'm maintaining, too. DH has his second cataract surgery today, so maintenance feels like a good goal for the moment.

well done on maintaining Joy & Wendy. I hope all went well with you husband's surgery Joy.

start: 15st 1.75lb / 211.75lb
target: 14st 13lb / 209lb
target loss: 2.75lb

current weight: 15st 1lb / 211lb
loss this month: 0.75lb

I'm up 0.25lb since my last post, but still down a bit on the month. getting down into the 14st-somethings is still just about within reach for the month though if I apply myself a bit better.
