Lose 5 Pounds in May 2014 Open Group

This is a continuation of a group that has run for many months. Feel free to join in at any time!

Here's what you do:
Post your weekly weights, your successes and struggles, and give support to the person above you!

SW: (Starting weight)
CW: (Current weight)
GW: (Goal weight for the month)

Weigh in Dates:
Start of Month (5/01 Thur):
5/03 Sat:
5/10 Sat:
5/17 Sat:

Please give notes of encouragement to your fellow traveler on this road.

For Fun: As you post your weights each week, also tell us something you tried for the first time towards healthy living and how you liked it during that week. (ie. new recipe, workout, game, etc)

NOTE: These posts reset at 500. If the thread locks, go to the last post and look for the link to get to the second installment.

To make things easier, let's keep the same weigh-in days from the previous three months, which happened to be Saturday.

    rebeccawester...you are so close to goal witih 8lbs left...we can definately support you so you can make it THIS MAY!

    I took my dog for extra walk just to add exercise to my day. I usually say I don't have the time but it felt good after I did it and it did take time but it didn't really matter to the rest of my day. And I also enjoyed the sunny morning and didn't feel like I was wasting time since my dog appreciated it!

    I've gained a few pounds back from my lowest weight and I want to get back there. I probably lost those last few pounds too quickly, and as a result of too much restriction, so I'm keen to get back there in a way that's more sustainable.

  • I'm in too. I'm new to this and just starting out. I just had a baby, she's almost 3 months old and I also have an auto immune disorder that causes muscle weakness. So I'm on meds and trying my hardest to get in cardio every day and do squats to strengthen my leg muscles. Overall I want to lose my belly and firm everything else!
