The A2K (virtual) Weight Loss Club !!

I've been walking two to three miles a day. Like Winnie the Poo always said though, exercise makes me hungry.

Shewolf--

I'm the sort of fat person who will eat because of boredom or high emotion or hurt feelings--oh, yes, and hunger.

I've found that if a piece of pretzel tastes absolutely delicious--and melts in my mouth with the starch disolving and digesting instead of turning into a soggy paste--I'm really hungry. If I think "That's not what I want" and reach for something else, I should leave the kitchen.

Back from vacation and back in recovery. I leave for New Orleans on April 26th giving me 4 weeks to re-lose 10 lbs. I can do it!

I lost two pounds last week. Walking (and counting calories) work.

Question: Could the A2K posters lose a collective 100 pounds in April?

WOW,

2lbs a week is great.
easy to maintain, and always enjoyable. ;-)

I sense a challenge being made

Wow, just lost a post. That hasn't happened in ages.

I'm up for the Great April Weight Loss Challenge.

For the April Grand Melt--

I'm aiming for a seven pound loss--93 pounds will have to come from someone else.

I'm in for six. That'd be a pound every five days.
(Dazzling math skills, eh?)

oh no.

a challenge?

>sheesh<
this pressure is going to make me eat...

I'll take 10, the first five will be easy, the other five I'll have to work for.

So, we have:


Noddy 7 pounds
George 6 pounds
J_B 10 pounds (5 easy, 5 hard)

We have 77 pounds to go. Is anyone else feeling competitive?

Shewolf, how about shooting for a 5 pound loss?

<picking my target>

I'm in for ten.

Five by my birthday (14th) and 5 more before the 30th.


And I'm going to Florida for a week or so at the end of the month.

Joe

Currently:

Noddy 7 pounds
George 6 pounds
J_B 10 pounds (5 easy, 5 hard)
Joe Nation 10 pounds (5 early, 5 late)
ehBeth (x pounds from ehBeth, x pounds from friend?)

67 pounds to pledge.

I clicked out when I saw this.
Thinking the whole time.. " nah. I dont need to do that. 5 pounds isnt anything to worry about.."


And then I ate a bowl of cereal.

The problem with that bowl was that i was not hungry.
I just finished some chili with crackers not but a few minutes before.

I hate change.
I hate commitment.
and I hate being held to my word.

Probally some of the reasons my weight loss has stopped and my diet has gone back to crap.

I will throw my hat in the ring for 5 lbs .

And i will stick to it..

4 Saturdays. I think I'll go for 8 pounds.

If I could get my housemate on a scale, I think he'd add substantially to your target, Noddy. Regrettably, he's a bit scale resistant.

Maybe we can estimate number of pounds per belt hole?

There's always the pinch test.
(hehehehehehe)

A2K April Marathon:

Shewolf: 5 pounds.

George: 6 pounds.

Noddy: 7 pounds.

Scale Resistant Housemate: One belt notch.

54 pounds to pledge.

Shewolf--

Before you open the refrigerator, job in place for fifty paces first. If you don't feel like jogging, you don't feel like eating.
