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.

Height:  4' 11.5"

Start Weight:  146

Goal Weight:  138 (I know that is ambitious ... but it is only two pounds per week ... I am going to TRY my HARDEST)!!!  I WANT THIS BAD!!  I leave for vacation on the 29th ... and I want to fit into the cocktail dresses that I bought for our trip!!  I did horrible in Jan-Feb in terms of weight loss ... even though I tried really hard (with the exception of 1 weekend), I only lost 4 lbs in January and 4 lbs in February (mostly because I plateaued a bit).  Now, I am going to kick it into high gear ... I lost 7lbs in Nov and 8 lbs in Dec (over Thanksgiving and Christmas!) ... and I am ready to do it again!  Wish me luck!

March 1:  146 lbs

March 8:  143 lbs Although I do think that some of this is water weight b/c I just finished TToTM.  We will see what next week looks like ... shall we?

Well, my weight was down to 127 most of the week and I was sooooo happy because it was the weight at which I really started gaining, but then I don't know what happened Saturday! It was bad! I ate all day. I didn't think my weight was gonna jump so much :( I gotta remind myself to be good on Saturdays!!

i just want to restate my suspicion that one of you snuck in here on saturday night and messed with my scale.

saturday's weight: 140.8
sunday's weight (weigh-in day): 141.6
today's weight: 140.3

too bad kenya's not a better watch dog, or someone would be wearing the evidence in the form of teeth marks!

hah, okay okay it was me! Congrats on the weight loss pgeorgian, I hope it stays down when we all weigh-in on Sunday!

Sorry it took me so long to post... I went out of town for the weekend and didn't get in 'til late last night.  Anywho, here are my stats.  I didn't lose a whole lot, but something is better than nothing! :)

I'm pretty happy with this week's work. Using the wii fit every day is helping me. I'm getting more activity and learning a little about my center of balance and posture.

So far on CC I've lost 20.8 lbs over 10 months. I'm very happy with that. I hope with my new activities it will go a little faster. Also measured after 1 month and lost 5.38 inches. yay.

Wow, I totally didn't think I had gone down from last week.

I didn't expect to lose that much in only 2 weeks. Probably wishful thinking that I'll reach 180, but I'll make it my new goal, anyway.

not a total surprise. last two days i've eaten a LOT more processed foods than i usually do. Friday morning i was at 160.4 and then yesterday morning it was 163, so i'm thinking a lot of it is water weight. i've also not made time for work out. hopefully today will be better all around.
