***April Weight Loss Challenge***Sign Ups Always Welcome!

Welcome to the **April** Challenge!
I “pirated” this challenge from Kallikat--hopefully won’t get kicked off this forum by the moderators if I didn‘t go through the right channels--am a relative “newbie“ to this forum stuff.  Anyway, if you’ve participated before, welcome back for another month!  To all those who have not done this challenge (or any other) welcome aboard to any newbies!

The challenge is pretty easy.
We'll have 4 weekly weigh in's and then a final weigh in on the last day of the month and the dates will be...:

April 5:
April 12:
April 19:
April 26:
Final Weigh-In for the month! April 30:

In keeping with previous tradition:  weigh in days are on a Sunday.  For those who don’t like to weigh in on the weekend--look at it this way--extra motivation to stay on track over those “days off!”

So!
Sign up soon--fill out the form below and post it EVERY Sunday with your new weights.

Oh geez!! Count me in! I've been out of work since Sept and return full time the middle of this month...from sitting on my butt for 6 months to laying sod and spreading mulch 50 hours a week. I'll really have to watch my exercise and calorie intake!

So I'm up a lb from last week. I think its largely due to the fact that I've had food with quite a lot of sodium and not enough water. So hopefully its just a fluke day and I'll have it down in no time!!

This is my reward for cutting back on exercise as of Mar 26. I used to have 1200-1500 cal deficits every day and had stopped losing, but since learning that was a health risk I cut back my daily workouts so my deficits never go over 943 and VIOLA! I'm making up for lost time! YAY!!

gained a lb, but I think it can be attributed to a long night of partying last night, as well as TTOM is coming in about a week.
