Spring Into Action Weight Loss Challenge

I'm going to be cutting it close this time!

I've been eating out a lot lately too. We're in the middle of a kitchen remodel and I've had no kitchen for over a week ... with one week to go. Luckily, I've been working my ass off between the kitchen and the yard.

I seem to have hit a little slump. I still have 3 pounds left. Don't know if I will make it, but I have lost 12 so far with this challenge. I am pretty proud of that!! We still have 4 days left, so lets finish strong, and lose all the pounds we can!!

Does anyone have any ideas for a May challenge?????? If so, start a thread and let us all know about it!!!

Hey Everyone hope everyone had a great weekend. I went on a mini vacation and got my second fill. Which has started the weightloss again.
I have lots of restriction now.Im hoping not to much.
Dont know if I will make the amount or not but hopefully will be close.

Everyone is doing so well, congratulations!!!! My weightloss this challenge has been crazy up and down. It may be because I lost quite a bit on the last challenge, I am happy with my progress though. What is the end date of this challenge?

I'm really struggling to lose anything, but I'm not giving up!

Well tomm is the deadline. And I dont think Im gonna make this one.
I thought I had a chance but.... The dear tom is here and this morning
I weighed a pound higher than yesterday. uugghh!!!! Even went to the gym last night. Did 1 mile in treadmill and 1 mile on bike. And some weights. I would have thought I would lose at least a pound. Esp being on the diet from just gettin a fill.. But oh well. Maybe tomm I will wake up and lost a couple??

Anyway off to work just wanted to rant a little.

I was going great guns too and suddenly it looks like I will fall short as well. I really enjoy the support we all receive from one another. has anyone come up with a new challenge?????

Bummer - I'm not going to make it this time.

Great job everyone!!

i've been lurking for a couple of days, got here a little late to start. but am looking forward to the next challenge.

i noticed a couple were discouraged, don't be, sometimes we take little steps, but they all add up.

Well came up 4 lbs shy but thats alright.Im ready for the next one.
Anybody got any ideas?

Well, I joined this challenge late, just about 2 1/2 weeks ago, so I made a goal to lose just 5 pounds! That did not happen, I have exercising for the past 3 weeks now, 6 days a week, I've been eating pretty clean, except this last weekend and I had a big party at my house, and ate some sweets. But for the most part, I've done really really good! I managed to lose just 2 freaken pounds. I am a little upset about the scales, but then one part of me feels really good because I feel so much smaller than just 2 pounds, I know I'm lose inches vs weight at this time, because my clothes are getting lose on me.

Thanks for letting me join in - late as it was.

Come join me, I look forward to seeing you there.

An independence challenge sounds great! Post a link to the thread here after you start it so we can all join in. I really thought I would make this challenge, but I have stalled out this last week. Went to the doctor today for another fill. Hopefully that will make a difference.

Congrats to everyone on their hard work. This thing is a journey and we are ALL getting there!!

I didn't make goal, but I am happy with the loss, I never thought I would get to this weight again. I am in for the Independence Challenge.
