March Weight Loss Challenge **Sign ups always welcome!**

Welcome to the **March** Challenge!
I hope you all had a great February, It just flew by!
But anyway, Welcome back for another month to all those who have done my previous challenges and welcome aboard to any newbies!

The challenge is pretty easy.
We'll have 5 weekly weigh In's and then a final weigh in on the last day of the month and the dates will be...:

March 1:
March 8:
March 15:
March 22:
March 29:

Final Weigh-In for the month! March 31:

Weigh in days are on a Sunday, but if need to do it another day. Let me know!

I'm sorry, I know lots of you don't like weighing in around the weekends, but maybe this will be a really good motivator to behave on Saturdays now?
Well, TRY and look at it positively anyway!

So!
Sign up any time you want, then come back on the 1st of the month, fill out the form below and post it EVERY Sunday with your new weights.

The challenge is about personal motivation and success and just knowing you're making a good change for yourself... but the person to lose the most weight will receive a "i won a challenge" type badge for their photo gallery, also!

Not bad I only gained 3 pounds after an all inclusive trip to Cancun.  Hopefully it will come off fast so I can be back to where I was.  I think a lot of it is sodium.

Thanks for setting this up! I really enjoyed the February challenge and want to keep it up, as it really helps me focus.

I am scheduled for weight loss surgery on March 25, so it will be interesting and fun and rewarding for me to continue these challenges.

So, here goes:

How has everyone been doing so far? Day 3 of March is pretty bad for me.. lol! I promised myself I wouldn't do bad for the beginning, but here I am eating badly teehee!

I haven't gone to the gym yet this month (I know only Day 3 of the month, but still) I am going to go tomorrow and I know that I am going to love it.. It is just last week caught up to me (very busy) and now this week I am sluggish because of it!

I hope everyone is doing better than me heh

Original Post by kalikat003:

I really want to thank restless_girl for all her hard work from the previous month! She did a great job and I hope I can do a good job like her!!

 

Thank you so much!

 I'm sure you will!
It looks good so far.

I'm going to sign up, since I'm slipping up and on the incline weight wise.
If I disappear off of CC completely I will probably find myself back at 70kg before I know it!
... Which was what I was for so, so long during my early teens and I hated it.

Anyway! Here goes *runs away to weigh self*.

Eesh I haven't weighed this much since Boxing day!
To be fair however, it is TTOTM and my digestive tract seems to have stopped working, no matter how much vit. C I take and cranberry juice I drink.
Oh well, feeling motivated for March today.
Hoping that now I can just focus on myself again. :)
... Just hope this motivation stays with me for the whole month!

This month, I seem to be on the right track and I'm excited, but I just don't know if I can make to 124 by the end of the month (128 now). I've done well with dieting, except no gym time.

Boyfriend got us tennis racquets so I'm really excited to get out and play!! The weather is also warming up. Today it's suppose to be 70 degrees in Iowa! Definitely going to go on a walk today.

I really wish the scale would move faster and wouldn't be stuck so much, but I'm glad to finally be out of the 130's!

Also, I wore my jeans today that I haven't worn in about a year! It's an awesome feeling! They are a little tight, but before I couldn't even get past my thighs!

Not bad...
I'm doing more vigorous gardening at the moment as I'm changing from my summer crop to my autumn/winter crop.
Pulling out old plants, chopping them up and returning the soil ends up being quite tiring work!
My legs were like jelly after chopping up the tomato plants and turning them through the tomato bed.

:( I had an awful week...ate everything in sight so I suppose I should be happy that I didn't gain anything. It's also the week/ day before TTOM... so I suppose those are my excuses, doesn't make me less disappointed though. Hopefully next week will be better :)
