    Since today is the last day of the challenge, I decided to weigh myself one day early...

    STATS:

    May 3: 185.2lbs
    May 10: 183.2lbs
    May 17 181.4lbs
    May 24 179.8lbs
    May 31 175.8lbs I lost 4 more pounds!!!

    So total lost for this month is 11.2lbs

    I have never felt so proud! Thank you everyone for supporting me! I am now only 35 lbs away from my goal weight!

    Congratulations to everyone! I think that you all did great--even if some of you only maintained! Remember maintaining is ALWAYS better than gaining!!!

    ~Crystal

    Opps, tomorrow is the last day! :laugh: Oh well, I still feel GREAT!!!:happy: :bigsmile: :smile: :happy: :bigsmile:

    Well, I lost only two pounds this month, but I'm okay with that. There were quite a few days when I ate more than my calorie goal, and exercise has been spotty. As long as the scale keeps going down, I'm happy. That last pound brought me to a ten pound weight loss, so that makes me happy too.

    Officially only 1 pound lost this month even though I was all over the place. I think I gained and lost the same 2 pounds several times over the month. Anyway onto better things for next month.

    Congrats to those who made their goal.

    sw 195.6
    and now.. 197.6

    I'm a little upset with myself. But I've joined a gym 2weeks ago and changed up my routine and I started lifting weights last week (3x a week from now on) so I'm sure it will take a little time to et the scale going the right way again. Keep up the good work everyone and see ya next month :)

    I just stared and want to loose 6 lbs in total and I am hoping to do so in one month. As of day two I am 1 pound down. I am willing to join you in the challenge. This is my first ever diet in 40 years though so go easy!

    Well that was a little dissapointing, I have been watching what I eat very closely for the last three days, and I am up a lb. Maybe its because of some water retention. Thats it, and I am sticking to it. My total loss for May is 3lbs. I will take it but, June is going to be much more productive.

    weight May 1 333
    Weight June 1 130

    I made it with 7 pounds this month. I made it through the long weekend mostly by ensuring I drank my water. That is always my struggle on the weekends. Looking forward to June challenge.

    SW - 148.7 5/1
    Week 1 - 145.1 5/8 (lost 3.6 lbs)
    Week 2 - 145 (total lost 3.7 lbs) not a great week
    Week 3 - 143.5 (total lost 5.2 lbs) Made it w/a week to go.
    Week 4 - 143.0 (total lost 5.7 lbs) - May 29th
    May 31st - 141.7 (total lost 7.0 lbs)

    GW - 135

    May 1: 216.8
    May 8: 213.0
    May 15: 211.8
    May 22: 210.0
    May 31: 209.8

    Loss: 7.0 lbs. Loss was as high as 9 lbs at one point, but still pretty happy. I am close enough to my goal weight that I am only trying to lose fat for muscle over the next month. Good luck to those moving on to the June challenge!
