Jayne, you have me down as 345 on May 1. That should read 335. The weight lost is correct however, you just forgot to change the current weight. Thank you for all you do!

Congratulations everybody for your weight loss

Thanks Pam and got it corrected.  Im trying to double check more but guess those numbers looked similar.   Good luck with your new May plan too! 

SW: 325

Apr 1st: 293

May 1st: 274.4

good month for me! I've just hit my first milestone with 50 pounds lost!

Amazing loss, snarf!

A belated welcome becki - please check you CC mailbox :D

Its official, beckij is on the list - youve done great so far and you join the rest of us also determined to drop this weight! 

My May 1st weigh-in is 185lbs

As low as you are slainna, thats an awesome loss this month! 

........................... 287 :D

Thats a great first month, theantidrug!

We are still updating for May BUT the total group loss of everyone currently in the OP Jan 1 thru April 1: 522.5 lbs.

 

Oh wow!  That's great!  I can't wait to see January 2009 figures!  Keep it up group!  We can be proud of our accomplishments!  Can you just imagine what we will look like in another 8 months???  Great job!

Thanks! Since I'm confined to a wheelchair now for awhile, my appetite has fallen through the floor. I have to make myself eat the recommended caloric intake because I am just not hungry.

I have to watch that too Slainna - combined with to many years of "Less is even better" brainwashing plus reduced appetite since dieting, when my cals arent up where they should be it can delay my progress. 

Michelle - wouldnt it be interesting come year end to do before and after photos! 

Also...

You may have noticed but I am keeping our list to participating members and have decided to allow a month past the 1st date weigh-in for folks to update.  This way by the time the following weigh in occurs, you'll have to have missed two monthly weighins to no longer be listed.   

Just a reminder that if a bad month occurs, please still check in for month 1st weigh in because we are in this together and that way I'll also know you are still aboard for Jan 2009 countdown.

I realize that a year can be a long time to commit to a thread and no hard feelings to those who drop off - just wished further success.  I hope to see as many as possible of course though crossing into 2009 and have genuinely enjoyed the journey together so far :D !!

Sorry...I missed my first weigh-in!!!  I was out of the country but I am back now and here is my info...

SW: 325.0    APR 1st 305.0    May 1st 298   Lost    27.0  punkrockriot

It isn't the 10lbs I was hoping for, but a loss is a loss so no worries here!  Congrats to everyone...this group really is a motivation. 

A 300 lb breakthough - cheers to you punk! 

Your motivation comment got me thinking and I added our total weight loss as part of the OP.  Seeing what we're accomplishing is definitely encouraging for me.  I'll update as months pass.
