Weight Loss Challenge #23 - April Fool's Day Challenge
April Fool's Day Challenge
Sunday, February 17 - Saturday, April 5,
7 weeks
Your threadmistresses for this thread are ABirney and Kopper
Who we are:
We are a group of women who for 1 reason or another want to shed a few (or more) lbs. We need the encouragement of others no matter their size or goal and we thrive in an atmosphere where we can all support one another.
Want to join the fun?!?
We welcome one and all. It doesn't matter what diet you are on (if any) or how many miles a week you run (if any) we will all find lots of help and support here.
Feel free to join at any time during the challenge.
It's better to join NOW than to wait until we start a new challenge!
