    Here's my info: I'm Dee, and I'm doing the challenge to help me stay motivated as the heat creeps in for May. I'm also looking forward to the added accountability and incentive to get it done!

    As you know, our goal for this week, beginning Sunday, is to torch 1800 this week, Sunday to Sunday. Along the way, I will be posting *completely* optional mini-challenges.

    Can't wait to get started tomorrow!! I met my mini-challenge for today, and am looking forward to the week. (That alone is a good reason to do a challenge, right?!)

    Thanks for adding me to the group. I'm looking forward to it. I didn't know about the BONUS challenge...guess it's not TOO late to burn 400 calories...just really tired and will barely burn these 200 I need to stay under calorie.

    This is VERY exciting...looking forward to burning with you all.

    My name is Jessica and look forward to the extra motivation for May. This will be perfect to kick-start the summer. My goal is to hopefully drop a size by the end of May. I am currently doing P90X so the calorie burns shouldn't be too much of a problem, but I look forward to adding some walking and/or jogging into the mix. I've been wanting too for weeks, so this will be extra motivation.

    ... ... ... ... and. . . . . we're OFF!! Sunday is our first official day!!! <<<fires gun (blanks, I swear!) into the air>>>

    And it's time for our second BONUS challenge. Remember this is completely optional.

    So our week's goal is to burn 1800 calories. For MONDAY... can you also complete and log more than SIXTY MINUTES of activity?!?! It can be anything you choose, and will count toward your week's goal. So... can you do it?!?!

    Don't let any of those Monday-scuses hold you back. Yes, it's a weekday, Yes, you probably had to work. Yes, you are probably tired. Yes, you have other commitments.... but can you put yourself first for 60 whole minutes and focus on you? Here's hoping we all can!!! And for those folks who just won't have time to complete this Monday, you can complete it tomorrow (Sunday) instead.

    Good luck!

    Hi my name is Pam and I joined this challenge so that I can learn to set a goal and achieve that goal, to finish what I start. I also have a mini challenge for myself this week. That challenge is to drink 8 glasses of water. I am always thirsty but I won't drink so I have to force myself to drink water. By the end of the challenge, I would also like to lose 5 pounds and be able to ride my bike for 20 miles. I am currently riding 5 miles (I got the bike a week ago).

    Good morning, and happy May! Let's get this party started! I'm Steve, and I seem to have returned to MFP at exactly the right moment. I expect to make some serious progress this month. I am motivated, and now that I'm in this challenge, I am accountable to 19 other people besides myself, and there is no way i am going to let my team down.

    My current weight is 201. My goal weight is 170. Let's see how much closer I can get to goal before Memorial Day.

    Good luck, fellow Challengees, and thanks for your support.

    So, I'm starting off the May Challenge by having a cookout at the house. Fortunately this is a "get your butt moving challenge" right? I'll have my 1 and 2 year old granddaughters here with their mom on bedrest and their dad in charge of the grill, so I have no doubts about being able to meet my calorie burning goals today. 2 babies and 2 dogs and a water hose!!!
