I work 12 hour night shift 2 days a week (if I don't get cancelled) and I worked last night.
The fit bit did not record any of my time as "active" minutes but since I made a concerted effort to walk the long way around to the supply room and staff bathroom several times and I went home exhausted I am counting that as exercise.

@monkeymintaka keep up with the C25k. I used running as an excuse to eat whatever I wanted and never did lose weight. You are proof that it is great exercise and you will do it again.
@katevt78 100# that is great. I plan to follow in your steps.
@HASWLRS thank you for the welcome. Glad to be on this team and get some good butt kicking.

Hi Everyone,
I am 32 years old and the mother of a beautiful 3 year old little girl. For as long as I can remember I've struggled with my weight. I gained almost 60lbs while pregnant with my daughter and have held on to most of it. I'm hoping that being a part of this group will give me the extra support and motivation I need to continue on my journey towards a healthier lifestyle.5 -
Hi Everyone.
My name is Marsha and I started this group last month. I have had some pitfalls but getting back into it. I am in my 60's and I weigh 176 lbs right now (since I quit smoking 17 years ago) and need to lose 50 - 60 pounds. I am up 2 pounds from last week due to eating badly this weekend. I really need to lose this weight because of my family history of strokes and heart problems that I do no want to have happen to me. I live on the Oregon Coast so I have some incredible views and walking paths along the beach and the bay front that I can walk and run with my dog Booda. Excited to get started on the right path again.5 -
@HASWLRS I jumped right in at week 4, I've been running at least once a week for the last year - so i haven't completely lost my running fitness - but I wanted to start gently so I can get back into a multi-run-a-week habit. Then I got sick the day after. I blame it on the physical exercise haha!!1

My journey started December 2014. I lost 30 pounds during 2015 and then yo-yoed the next 10 pounds for the 2016 and 2017. As of today, I have lost that next 10 again. So my current total loss is 40 pounds and I currently have about 14 pounds to go to reach my December 2018 goal. I have decided that I have no interest in further yo-yoing. My family is totally behind me now as I work to achieve my current goal weight by December of this year. I have decided to dedicate the entire year of 2019 to the last 7 of my ultimate goal weight.
This group and the support of our team has been very helpful to staying on task this year especially through a few up and downs that I’ve experienced. Looking forward to a wonderful new month.

Hi everyone. My name is Mel and I am from New Zealand and now live in Western Australia. I have been overweight since I had my last child almost 5 years ago and have yo-yo'd a lot over that time. When we moved over here I took time off work to spend time with my children as an at home mum. I work most night which helps me stay active, but I may have to go back to teaching next year. I realised that if I didn't do something about my weight this year, then I would have wasted the opportunity of time that I have available to me right now to do something about my weight. As of January 1st, I have lost 23kg (46lbs approx) and plan on continuing my progress. May has been very hard but June is looking awesome

Hi everyone! My name is Destiny and I've been in this group since the beginning of the year. I'm a 30 year old stay at home mom of 4 kiddos from ages 8 years to 6 months. I was overweight most of my life but after I had my oldest I got really motivated to get healthy for her. But it seems like every time I got close to my goal weight I got pregnant again
Now that I'm done having babies I'm ready to FINALLY get to my goal and stay there! 2 -

You didn't gain, so that is a positive, and a good place to (re) start the losing portion of this program!! Break your overall goal down into smaller, manageable goals, so it doesn't seem so daunting a task!! First goal, say, into the 160's!0 -

Results for May...the Grand Finale!!!
It seems like every month we have one of our own at the top of the loser board. However, this month is different.....we have TWO instead!!! So, without further adieu.....drum roll please.....
The Overall Biggest Loser for the month of May is our very own @katevt78, with a loss of 5.41%!! (cue the virtual confetti and pop the champagne, but wait to toast). Coming in a very close second is last month's winner, and our own @MelsLeanDream with a loss of 5.15%!! Raise your glasses and help me say "Congratulations and well done to Kate and Mel!!!
As a team we didn't do great....we only lost 27.1 pounds. Yes, we had a small team but @MelsLeanDream lost 10.4 pounds and @katevt78 lost 9.2 pounds, so the rest of us didn't lose very much!!! However we did have a number of Big Butts lose over 2% of their body weight and I'd like to acknowledge them here for a job well done:
@katevt78: 5.41%
@MelsLeanDream: 5.15%
@lolakinks: 3.19%
@mari_moulin: 3.19%
@thedestar: 2.52%
@makhe1224: 2.25%
@GardenMama129: 2.21%
Who is extremely inspired by what our two champions did in May, and is ready to now have a great June themselves? I know I am!!! Let's all show June who's boss!!3 -

Oh, my gosh, Kate!!! You really did have an aversion to being in the 160's!! You got out of there lickety split!!! So, upping your protein and running your butt off, apparently, is the magic combination for a very great week, and great month!!! Well done, you!!1 -

I think I will skip the mini challenge this month - I have just started with this whole healthy thing recently and I want to focus on creating an exercise habit before I go crazy with counting calories. It's helped me in the past to begin like that.

You do whatever works best for you! It is an optional challenge... You can jump in, though, at any time. It can even be for one day here and there if you find you have eaten at a deficit and exercised.0 -
Not sure if this is week one or if next week is so here i go.

I am working on the Mini Challenge results for last week, but I won't get then posted until this evening. I am going to visit my parents for lunch and they live an hour's drive away. I need to get my butt off this computer and into the shower!
For those of you celebrating Memorial Day, enjoy your holiday, but enjoy in moderation!! That second serving of potato salad will NOT taste any different from the first serving!!!!2 -
