Goodness - the end of May already - it has been an incredible month for me - turned 60, had great fun times with my daughters, good friends and hubby, met my goal of losing 8lbs but most of all I made some great friends here on MFP. I went on and on today with my dd while she was driving me to get new footwear to workout in, about all you guys and how supportive, motivating and crazy you were and how you have all helped me and kept me motivated and smiling.
On to June it will be another great month - well except for those pesky June Bugs::ohwell: :ohwell:

wow - it IS time to report our May struggles and success... already?!?!?!? :huh:
Reached my weight loss goal of 6 pounds (actually lost 9). Did really well much of the time on my walking goal, but not so much this week. My ankle has decided to let it's presence be known again. Hopefully I can get to the doc so he can get me on a round of treatment before I fly off to Wisconsin on Thursday...
Somebody needs to start a June challenge thread (while I figure out what i'm going to challenge myself to..)0 -
Hi everyone. Good job working on your May challenges. I didn't make my goal to loose 5 lbs. but I am down 4 so I am happy with that.
I wasn't feeling well yesterday :sick: so I didn't get much exercise but I hope to make up for it today. Thanks for all your support & encouragement; it really helps and is appreciated. Alex 0 -
I only missed a couple of days at over 10,000 steps and got up in the teens and once over 20,000 so happy with that!
Didn't run as much as last month but that was due to holidays...so on the whole very happy with my May Challenge Results
Onward and Juneward!

1. Reach 185 poundsby May 31 -- BMI below 35 (disqualify myself for bariatric surgery).
2. Walk 100 miles for the month.
3. Walk 40 cardio miles for the month.
4. Lunchtime walks at least twice a week.
Above were my goals that I set when I came back from vacation on Mother's Day. Here's how I did:
1. Well, I sure didn't make the 185. I saw 187 last Wednesday and Friday morning I was at 193.5! :noway: I was at 190 this a.m. I'm assuming it is due to increases in working out and muscles pulling water in to help heal. Otherwise, who knows!
2. I actually walked over 218 miles in May. (I didn't log two days either). I had well over 400,000 steps.
3. I walked almost 93 cardio miles for the month.
4. I walked more than twice a week at lunchtime and added a short resistance band workout this past week.
I have had a lot of fun pushing myself with this challenge, getting to make some new friends, and getting all your support! You have all done so well and I look forward to this month!
Holly, You didn't even mention that you have started walking! :happy:

Congrats Everyone: just finished reading all your great posts and it made me so happy to see everyone succeed! Yep, even if we didn't all make our exact goal, everyone improved! Without joining in, I believe we might have not all seen such a positive May, yippee for us all :drinker: Hey, if we don't pat our great Group on the back who will?
My goal was to walk 15 times in the month of May (each walk had to be a minimum of 20 minutes). Well your resident Sloth started slow in the early part of the month, and needed a kick start from Jean and Ker (TK U buddies!) but had a total of 16 (yes, this is not a typo). 16 walks! My DH has to also be thanked because he also encouraged me and came along and slowed down to my blistering pace, MFP classifies it as slow, but to a Sloth, it was a blistering pace for sure! I got many words of encouragement from many of you (too many to name), so thank you so much!
Well, off to the June challenge now, man not much time to celebrate our successes is there? :huh: Cheers, Marian0 -
I'm a bit late here.
Well done all who met their challenges or even went halfway to meeting them. Something is better than nothing.
Managed mine(just) - my 5k time is just under 35 mins, can do 10 press ups barely and lost a few pounds. I'm now back down to what I thought I was at the beginning of May when my scales had a blip! So really don't feel like I have lost anything........
On to the June challenge!
