This sounds amazing. I am a whole 20 days late from first check-in, but I would definitely like to join this challenge. I've been going through the hardest time of my life and it threw me off of my goals. But, I am a healing, currently in school, and am determined to do this- 20 days late and all.
It just took me to almost weigh in at 200lb to get there.
Current Weight: 199.8 lb
April Fool's Goal: 179.8 lb
Long Term Goal: 140 lb
I've got 2 months... I may not make, but I sure am gonna try.

Now, once we all make the 4/1 goal, we'll be taking sign-ups for the Fourth of July 10% Challenge, so keep that in mind.

Kaitlin, yes, and thanks! Was very pleased w/the weigh in--I feel more confident about making the 4/1 goal--only 11 weeks left.
Now, if I make 270 by 4/1 I wonder if I can get down to 250 by my BD on 5/25? That would be a great 47th BD gift.
I have big plans for out-of-doors activities come spring so I'm hoping the extra exercise will make up for my lighter body's reduced calorie burn.
Have a great day!
Regards,
Michael
PS I see you've only got 12 pounds to go--I think you'll make goal as well!

Michael, That would be a great birthday gift to yourself! I know you can do it! As i was turning on my computer to check fitday yesterday i thought about you and hoped you would reach your 80's goal! and you did!
WEEKLY CHECK IN:
I am down 2.8 pounds. 192.6 to 189.8 It was weird actually because i only went to the gym three time this week- usually go 5! Instead of cardio i really focused on strength training (abs and arms). PHEW! I AM SORE TODAY! I think I am going to go with this method from now on- it seemed to really work for me this week. Cardio three times a week and some type of strength training everyday...As far as caloric intake this week I focused on the fact that this "is not a diet- it is a lifestyle change..." which really helped. I ate chinease food on friday- ate half portion and was fine. It felt almost like i was cheating but i can't deprive myself of everything or else this will never work. I kept reminded myself "you are fine and you aren't cheating"...
This weeks goals:
Keep drinking that water
Keep to workout plan
Organize craft room
Get down to 188
Good luck this week everyone! Look forward to everyone's stories

I haven't seen the 8's since my middle/highschool days..it is unreal to me. When i was writing in my journal and on fitday i kept thinking wait- am i 198 or 189?! haha i need to keep believing in myself because i know i can accomplish this!

I already can't wait. My birthday is actually July 2nd. I'd love to be several pounds lighter by then, maybe even break 300. BUT lets take this one step at a time. I shouldn't get too far ahead of myself.

Hello to all,
I have decided to weigh in on Mondays, that will keep me in check on the weekends, at least I would like to think that. I am quite happy with 4 pounds in 10 days.
Congratulations on some great losses this past week, looks like some are getting very close to the goal
I am sticking to a 1200 cal/day this week and hopefully will manage a little more
calorie burning by walking my dog, which I hadn't done in months but did this morning.
I may not write a lot, but it is always encouraging to come here and read everyone's progress.
Have a great week.
