    I am having surgery May 3rd, so my goal for April, which will put me a month and a day before that is to drink at least 64 oz of water or liquid per day as well as to begin modifying my eating habits. I will stop drinking before/during/after my meal in the alloted time as it will be AFTER the surgery. I will stop drinking through a straw. I have already given up drinking carbonated beverages and will continue on that course. My biggest challenge is SWEETS....so one thing at a time...stop eating doughnuts, then ice cream which I totally love, and of course candy! I know this will not happen overnight but I'm trying one step at a time. My relationship with food has been for so many decades already just plain lousy! So...here starts a new dawn and future. Good luck to all with your particular goals!

    Starting weight = 184.0lbs. Hopefully April will be better than March. I'm going to set my goal to 175.anything. At this point I'm not sure of 9lbs is doable but I need to work on exercise, protein and water intake too.

    Good luck everybody!

    My starting weight is 246. Goal is to reach 236 and to improve my fluids. I do great with iced tea, which my surgeon wants me to limit to one a day. But its one successful way for me to get my fluids in so I keep drinking it. I'm on vacation the 12-16, lots of activities planned. Hope I don't gain during the trip. I'm acting as a chaperone for my daughter's high school trip so I don't get any control over where we eat or anything. Hoping all the walking we'll be doing makes up for any unhealthy foods....

    I want to keep walking 45 minutes per day until it takes no effort, then I will up the time. I won't risk being injured again! I am also going to check out Curves and keep to my 500/600 calories a day since I'm able to lose 2 lbs. per week on it, it works for my body but as time goes by and I increase exercise more I'll increase the calories. I hope to lose 10 lbs. per month, we'll see what my body thinks of that. (FTR that's 215 to 205, let's hope!)

    March weight loss was 7 lbs, which was better than Feb loss of 4! So, I'm shooting for 8 lbs in April and also get my excercise ramped up a bit. And of course, water, water, water since it's already hot here.
