April's Challenge!
 

Ok ladies, I am going to be leading the April Challenge!

:carrot: :carrot: :carrot:

I hope everyone will enjoy this modification of Dani's January challenge.

1) Weigh in on either April 2nd (Sunday) or 3rd (Monday) and this will be your weekly WI day for the challenge. I realize others weigh in on other days of the week, but I would appreciate it if we all could WI on either Sunday or Monday just for the challenge. You must post on this thread.

2) Each week on WI day you record (post) your progress...+1 point for every pound lost and -1 point for every pound gained.

3) Everyone needs to make some type of goal to strive toward weekly. This will earn you +1 point or 0 if you don't make your goal. examples would be some amount of excersize, water intake, meal planning, weight loss, etc.

4) You must post on your specified WI date plus another day durring the week that will get you another +1 point. This must be posted on this thread.

5) If you are able to make it through the 4 week challenge give yourself +5 points for completing the challenge.

I want to end the challenge the on the 30th of April or the 1st of May.

Winner gets bragging rights and the chance to host the next challenge!

Good luck all!

I hope you all can understand my challenge and participate!

Yay.. my 1st challenge!!

My WI Day will be Sunday.

Lynn

217 on Monday April 3rd

I feel like I am drowning in water. I forgot how much 8 16 oz glasses of water really is. Potty all the time! LOL

Monday WI: 262.0 my first weight...off we go!!!
I wanted to go for my walk today, but up here in Northern California, it just rains, and rains on a daily basis.
Okay, I can get out the "Walk Away The Pounds" DVD...

First WI: 244.5

Got in 60 minutes of treadmill, a 15 minute Core Power class and a 15 minute Ab class. Logged all my food for my calorie count so far today. 6 glasses of fluid so far as well.

Great job susan ! WTG

Jeeze, my challenge and I couldn't get on to WI yesterday...

Well, I was 230 yesterday! Was soooo tired from the time change...did anyone else have a problem with it? Today, I plan to do my treadmill...30 minutes at least!

Have a great day!

joining in...
 

Okay ya'll I don't know for sure how I'm going to do this, I'm just gonna stick to it.

The three hour thing is killing me. Why? Three hours isn't a long time... Today I'm going to drink MORE water, as yesterday I kept a food journal (first time for me) and was shocked to see that I only drank ONE glass of water. Maybe that's the exact reason I can't go three hours lol!!

I ate about 2200 calories yesterday and my goal is 1600-2000, so not too bad for the first day. I'm counting calories now just to get an idea of what I'm eating, but don't plan to continue to count calories. I find it a chore. But I do need to know what exactly I'm putting into my body. So for now, it's cool.

Today I'm really going for the water

As I posted in another thread, I don't have a scale, I am trying to get to my dr.'s office to weigh myself, last time I checked: I was 260 about a month ago, and that's pretty much where I hang in at. So I'll go with that and measuring my arms, as they pretty much inflate and deflate right along with the rest of me: today my arms measured approx 21 inches :sumo: ....isn't that the size of a skinny woman's waist :fr:

So I am changing my April Challenge Goal - my original was to stick to the diet and the every three hours. I'm adding to drink lots more water to that.

Ok, this is going to be my second post for this week since I won't have internet access until I return Saturday.

I weighed in at 182 this morning, which is 2 lbs down from Sunday. I am not going to count it though, since food, eating times and water intake will be out of my control for the next 3 days. I do feel very positive though that next week can be very successful since I am doing so well this week! Just wait until I add in that exercise next week! ;)

My only goal for Wed - Fri will be to make the best choices possible. In other words, I can't pick the restaurant, but I don't need to go for the fried everything plate with a double portion of dessert. Moderation and balance will be the key for this trip. (As will aspirin and alcohol! :p Just kidding! :D )

So take up my slack and drink extra water for me ladies!! See you Saturday!

Sharon

The water part is covered. I am floating. * 128 oz down. I'm a potty women, potty all the time , pOtTy all the TiMe

Not too late. Come and play with us! Glad you are here.
