    I'm in! I have my organization's Annual General Meeting on May 26th/27th and I'd really like to be 179 by then. That would make it 30lbs lost since last year's AGM, and 40lbs since I started losing. It's a really challenging idea for me to lose 6lbs in four weeks because I'm more of a 0.5-1lb a week kind of gal (and usually more like 0, 0.2, 1.5 etc.). I'm going to have to buckle down and be especially mindful on weekends, which I'm sure are typically my progress squashers.

    A very aggressive weight loss goal for me this month, but I'm gonna to try and reach as high as I can. I'm going to Europe next month to see Beyonce/Jay-Z and I just want to be as small as possible because I am terrified of being uncomfortable on the plane for a nine hour trip.

    I know my May goal is less than the 5 lbs for the challenge but I still want to participate. Have done the last few challenges and found it really helped keep me on track. For me, a realistic weight loss is only about 1/2 lb per week (even though I would like it to be more!).

    I just started MFP 3 weeks ago. Hopefully, this will help me stay motivated. I am traveling in an airplane in August of this year. I would love to feel comfortable in a seat. However, just fitting in a seat will be nice. :smile:

    Here we go again...I'm Back for May 2018

    Original starting weight (December 2017): 212 lbs
    Got serious (Jan 16th 2018): 208lbs

    May starting weight: 184
    May Goal: 181
    Ultimate goal: 179 lbs (BMI <25)
    - Original Goal: 185 lbs by July 1st
    - average 1.0 lbs per week
    - drop about 10% of body weight

    Non-Scale Goals:
    - get BMI closer to "normal"
    - A1C/Glucose back into "normal" ranges (been just above normal)
    - HDL up to 40+
    - Improved fitness - ready for backpacking Grand Canyon (7days) and Philmont with Boy Scouts (12 days)


    May 7-
    May 14-
    May 21- no weigh-in (in Grand Canyon)
    May 28- Back from Grand Canyon...should be an interesting. Weigh-in
    May 31-


    Total loss for May:

    As I get closer to my goal, the weight comes off slowly. In part because I have adjusted my habits. This will be a very interesting month as I am on vacation, but most of that vacation will be backpacking (burn lots of calories). I am still thinking about how I will handle the logging while backpacking. I have a very detailed day to day food plan, but I may not actually eat it all or I may turn into a ravenous jackel and eat everything in sight. Logging my activity will be equally interesting as my Garmin does not last much over a day when in GPS mode and it tracks activity best outdoors with GPS mode.

    Anyway...May 28th should be interesting.

    Keep up the good work!
