On April 1 weigh yourself and write it down. Do NOT send it to me. On April 30 weigh yourself again and PM me with your loss. This is weight lost not % lost so PLEASE do not suggest % lost as we have found pounds lost works for us. I will announce the winner May 1.

You can not win 2 months in a row.

We go off topic a lot with chit chat so if you will have a problem with that and will complain (people have in the past) PLEASE do not join.

You will come to this thread for tips, recipes, encouragment and {{{{HUGS}}}}}}

The prize is a themed FQ. At the end of the month the people who didn't lose as much weight will contact the BIGGEST loser/winner for their information and sent them the themed FQ.

April showers bring May flowers this months FQ theme is.........FLORAL. As always if you can not send floral send what you have.

Eat healthy, exercise, try and lose weight but most of all have fun!!!!!!!!!!!

Am I right that the losers will send the winner just one FQ? What a great incentive!! Think I will do it! :thumbup:

I'm in, Tru! Another month, another ounce lost. They add UP!

marknfran yes that is how it works.

I guess I like giving away FQs. I'm in.

Im in... what an incentive to lose weight..:)
and I sure could use to lose some pounds..LOL

I guess I'm in but I don't know why! :-)

me too.... i'm in..... can't hurt...

Irishrose and Carrie stop the whinning you will frighten the newbies!!!!!!

Waaaa waaa waaa!!!!

Ok if an "oldie" returns?? This oldie is fatter than the last time I joined you all so I'm determined to lose weight this time. This has been a long, dark, fattening winter.

It was for me too!!!

I'm in. Maybe if I hang around people who want to lose weight it will motivate me to stick to it. You guys are a great bunch.

And you don't charge $12 a week to listen to me make excuses...

lol seriously. This is taking people into count that won't cheat and say they lost 50lbs. I think it is healthy to lose 2lbs a week and usually water weight comes off first. I know I can stand to lose some, dang cold winters and sitting on my butt reading this QB. :mrgreen:

Count me in, I'll cross my fingers I can keep up with it and not eat stuff just before bedtime. eeks.

Donna, who charges you every week?

Tru, I am in again. So far, this has been a good stash reducer for me.

MJ I can ALWAYS count on you to be the silver lining!

because there are others here that need a keeper and you're the best!

I'm in too ! :thumbup:

I'm in again too. Carrie, I agree with Lynn, you are a keeper!!!
Hope your daughter is feeling better.

Thank you Lynne and Sandy. You all are so sweet.

count me in, I just keep sending prizes.............

Back is getting better finally. Follow up with the orthopedist this morning and expect to be okayed for exercisining again. So watch out next month...LOL...I hope...

Good morning you bunch of losers. April will be different! The battle is mostly mental. Talk to that lazy, undisciplined person that is holding you back - kick 'em to the curb. You have the strength and determination to be in control!

Make it happen!

Lynne

ok I'm in I need to get back on track..

I'm in but like Carri... WHY???? I gain back 5 of nine that I lost and can't shed it... but keep sending (if I can get my house unpacked and find my fabric) FQ's to the winners.... it's a way to reduce my stash :D
With DH health declining and just now getting to being able to fix meals like they should be fixed...maybe if I can get to bed before midnight and sleep the entire night, my body will shed these extra 50 pounds... I'm starting a new exercise program that is physical therapy exercises not body building...

Well, I am rather new to this board but have enjoyed all the pics and everything else that you all have had to offer and I could definitely stand to lose a few pounds and even a few fq's so what can it hurt. Since I am new though, not sure how I "follow this thread" so maybe a little advice there. Thanks and good luck to all.

Put it in your bookmarks... at the top of this thread's page is a tab that says "bookmark"... click on it and put in "April Weight Loss" or something like that... then you will not forget to check in and chat each day...

Michelle, I recommend you bookmark this thread and just check in every day.

And let the fun begin.

Glad you're on board.

Count me in!

I'm in

I've never done this before, but need the encouragement and definitely the wt. loss. Count me in!

Just marking my spot here for the sign up list.

Hun that's not good!! Sounds like it's time for you to get serious.

I think I will try it. I gained 45 pounds in 6 months after my son was killed and I have not been able to take it back off. I turn 60 in June and I am heartbroken over that fact, because I'm told I don't look my age at all. I will use all the incentives of this board to help me with my goal. I love tuning in every day. Let's get to it!!

I have Type 2 diabetes and need to lose a bunch. If I succeed, maybe I can lose the meds, too. I'm in! If anyone else has this problem, let's exchange ideas, recipes, and encouragement to reach our goals.

OK, count me in. I've gained 20 pounds since moving and afraid of Diabetes as well. Gotta start moving! I guess sitting and watching the Biggest Loser doesn't count...

Sign me up...maybe this month!!!!!!!!!

Nolee and Rose Ann, Losing weight alone can get you off diabetes medications. Good luck to both of you!!! Sandy

I need the inspiration so count me in.
