    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!!

    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!!

    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.

    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!!!!

    Great job to everyone and their losses!

    As I suspected Sunday will have to be my off day for the mini challenge. Although just thinking about my accountability had me making better decisions. I went to the gym as soon as I got up to get my day started properly. I did not leave the pool just about the whole 4-5 hours at the bbq. I opted to only have light beer and avoided high calorie craft beer. And I did not pig out or have a second plate of food.
    As proud as I am of those small wins, it was near impossible to track the food cause I didn’t know what ingredients where in every dish. And although I made better decisions, there were no healthy food options and the beer had to have put me over my calories for the day.

    Sun 5/27
    Tracking: no
    Calories: no
    Excercise: yes - running, walking, biking, swimming

    At least my off day for the week is out of the way now. Ready to do great the rest of this week

    Starting Weight: 176 lbs
    Current Weight: 176 lbs
    Goal weight: 120 lbs ( so i have a ways to go)

    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!

    Oh the 160's is my goal for the month. My overall goal is losing 56 pounds total by the end of the year.

    Great job @katevt78 and @MelsLeanDream .

    Looks like I got assigned to the right group and will get some great motivation.

    Weigh in week 1
    Weigh in day : Monday
    Previous weeks weight: 249
    Todays weight: 249.6

    Not surprised as yesterday was our "holiday" and we had a lot of food that was salty and some stuff that we only have once or twice a year (family homemade favorites). My fingers are puffy so I know I had way to much salt.

    Mini challenge Sun 5/27
    Tracking: yes (best guesses made)
    Calories: tracker said yes but I'm going with no as most food was "best guess"
    Exercise: yes hike and picnic at Mt St Helens

    So I am off now to refill my water bottle to was that salt away.

    I love your attitude, Erik, and your approach to the day. You got in as much exercise as you could, you chose a lower calorie drink, and you did not go back for seconds....All great strategies to mitigate any damage from the higher calorie foods and drinks that were in abundance!! You may not have lost weight today, but you enjoyed a real life day instead!! That IS why we are all here...to lose weight and get healthy so we can enjoy life to its fullest!

    Your hike and picnic sound lovely!! Great attitude as well about the little up!!! If you ate salty food, but only gained 0.6 of a pound....that will be gone in no time!! Drink up!!!
