No Foolin - Its an April Fool's day Challenge

[TinaM 0]

So, we are all banded and started a New Year, a New Decade and on the way to our somewhat 'new' and improved selves.

To keep us all motivated and moving in the right direction (down on the scale) thought I'd throw out a challenge.

Now we already have a Valentine's Day challenge going and that is just 6 shorts weeks a way! so let's keep it rolling.

I'm going to try for 40lbs, yes I know its a lot but me and Mr. Treadmill/Stationary Bike were reintroduced this week and well I believe I've started a love affair.

I want to be in this challenge because it fits right in with my plans. I want to be at goal when I go visit my Mom for her 76th Birthday on April 6th. The last 20 pounds seem to be the most difficult which is where I am at so I really need a cheering section everyone. I really want to be at goal by then.

I am SO in on this Tina, because my birthday is April 2. I would really like to get below 200 by then, but that might be too much, as it's only 13 weeks away. At 2 pounds a week, 26 pounds would be average, so I'll sign up for 30 pounds (and secretly hope I do much better).

BTW : The Valentine's challenge was picked up by LollyMoe and is now on the main forum, for people who still want to shoot for that goal. No sense in doubling efforts!

Best of luck to ALL of us!

Hey, I signed the spreadsheat for just that...30 lbs. I think we can do this! Thanks Tina!!!

I'm going to wait to join this challenge until after the Valentine's Day challenge is over. That's my first goal, and I want to wait until then to see how I've done before setting my next mini-goal. I know what my ultimate goal is, but I want to be careful of setting my mini-goals so that they are realistic and achievable, but that they go along with where I actually am, if that makes sense.

I signed up! I am going to push myself as hard as I can. I am supposed to get a fill soon (first one) and I assume after that I will stop dropping the weight better than before. Good luck ladies, I know you can do it!!

I am going to try to lose 20 lbs by April 1st. This is much more aggressive than I normally go because I'm on leaving on Vacation the next week.:cursing:

I'd love to lose 30 lbs by April 1st. I don't know if that's going to be doable, but that's what I'm going for. That would get me under 300 for the first time in 15 years.

I'm going to add this challenge to the december delights social group and make a comment about it on the december delights thread. Not sure if everyone knows it's here and I bet there are others who would like to join!

I joined the Easter Challenge, forgetting that the April Fool's challenge was here. However, I'll set the same goal.

230 pounds

That's where I want to be come April 4. I'm currently 249.6 (actually as of this morning I was 248.6) but I use the weight I am on Mondays as my official weight.

So 19.6 pounds.
