Welcome to our new members!

If you are new and want to join in, by all means, please do - we love to celebrate those losses with you! This is the standard format we try to use for these threads:

Name: (if you'd like to share)

My Numbers:
SW: Starting weight before you lost anything.
CW: Current weight at the beginning of the challenge.
GW: Goal weight for the month (what you would like to weigh at the end of the monthly challenge) Try to keep it realistic and SAFE!
LTGW: Lifetime goal weight ( What you would like to weigh at the end of your weight loss journey)

Weigh-ins: What days you will weigh-in; for example, Fridays
5/6/21 = (Fill out after each weigh-in.)
5/13/21 =
5/20/21 =
5/27/21= (final weigh in for the month)
Total WL/G for the month= total weight lost or gained for the month

It was also suggested that we could track our measurements at the beginning of each month to see how we do there, so feel free to add those too this month!

Let's get it!😎🌞🌈💥

    Thanks @Gnawcraft for getting the May WL Challenge started :smile:

    I've got an ambitious target, especially as it's my birthday at the end of the month and my best friends as well but I'm heading in the right direction and I want to set strong goals for myself to push for. My goal is to lose 4.2kg for the month which will mean I will have lost over 20kg so far but even bigger will be 15% of initial body weight which is more than quarter of the way through my total weight loss to get to a healthy weight. We got this!!!

    Hey all, My week has been good. I've continued doing my 1 hr walk in the morning. I joined a 10 week weight loss program called Bodyslims it's based out of Ireland but they have an online course which I started last week. It requires sticking to a calorie limit and doing an hour of walking each day and there's a weekly seminar to watch. They seem to focus more on the head/mental part of weight loss which I really think will be helpful. I'm finding it really helpful. I've never felt so confident that I'm going to get to my weight loss goal. I've finally gotten down to the next dress size and my nerd shirts are finally fitting better.

    @Gnawcraft I hope your head gets back on plan soon for you. If you need to chat to anyone feel free to hit me up.

    I've been sick the last week so haven't been walking and have been eating *kitten* so have a feeling the result next week is going to be not great but pleased with a loss this week, I wasn't expecting it. I achieved my next mini goal which was 19kg total loss which is a quarter of the weight to lose to reach goal. It's my birthday this coming week and I've got a few days off to get some things sorted so will be a struggle to keep things smooth. Ahh well, you only get a birthday once a year! I invited my close family on a trip to our local aquarium in the hopes of avoiding a dinner but my brother can't make it so we're still going out to dinner lol. I'm looking forward to birthday Churros. It's the one time a year I have them and I LOVE them, not ever giving those up for my birthday. I even managed to get some in Bali when we were there for my birthday one year. Not going to say they were the best but it was pretty awesome to get some for my birthday there.

    @Gnawcraft Keep at it, you'll have that breakthrough if you keep trying and you can say goodby to those 7lbs forever.

    @mariposa1526 Hope you had a lovely birthday! Did you get up to anything?

    @bbwkitten Whoa! Retaining some water weight maybe the week before. Well done that's awesome work!

    @Americanbabydoll You're doing so great this month! So close to your may goal. Good luck!

    Better late than never! Birthday was great. Had my churros and a delicious dinner with family. We did a lot of walking around our state aquarium which was lovely. I haven't been great this weekend. Struggling to get back into my groove. Having some health issues which are making it hard to get up and walk in the morning but I have some doctors appointments so hopefully I can get that sorted out. In the meantime I'm not going to beat myself up. Going to work on keeping food good and walking in a more gentle way.

    I was soooo close to one of the major goals on my list this month. 115.7kg is 20kg lost on this journey so far. I saw that on the scales on Wednesday last week but my splurge took it's toll for my Saturday weigh in. I've seen it again today so hopefully that sticks around. Really need to work on my water intake as it's been diabolical while I've been on leave.

    When I saw my doctor yesterday we did a weigh in and she congratulated me on how I've done so far. It's nice to get that boost from her. Good luck everyone on the new month!!!
