    Count me in! Going to Las Vegas at the end of May to renew our wedding vows for our 10th anniversary. Want to look awesome in my ridiculously short dress (Hubby picked it out). Want to lose 10 lbs in May. Lost 6 - 7 so far in April. This is a great idea - thanks!

    Me too!
    I want to just look better by the end of May because it's impossible to reach my goal in a month!! My Engagement photos are booked for June Third, and my arms need major toning and my tummy needs some flattening!!!
    I am going to the gym far more often as of this week, and pushing myself far harder, really need help staying on track!!

    If you have any spots left I would definitely like to join. My daughter graduates from college on June 13th so I want to look good.

    I am curently 157lbs and my goal for May 31st is to be under 150lbs. I'm pretty good at the exercising but I have a major sweet tooth and sometimes I find it hard to stay disciplined when it comes to treats.

    If youre still looking for people I am interested - I currently work out 5-6 times a week and do mostly cardio since I am a runner but I am looking to add lots of strength training in May and drop 5lbs of fat but gain some muscle tone so I am ready for my first Warrior Dash obstacle race course in June!

    I'm in, I lost about 30lbs on my own, and then I lost my focus. I have gained everything back and I feel HORRIBLE! I need to lose almost 100 lbs. I felt GREAT aboutt those 30 and now I'm in a slump. I reached out to friends and family to help. There's one person on her journey but she's much more advanced than I am. I appreciate the support but sometimes its like the ugly duckling talking to the beauty queen. The support would be great, and the motivation would be a life saver. I'm starting completely over. Please count me in. :sad: I need all the help I can get! :smile:

    I would love to do this! I am wanting to lose 8-10lbs during the month of may. I could really use someone to give me that extra push to stay off my butt and exercise!

    Hi! I;m definitely interested!!! I'm 5'3" 137.6 and hope to get down to 130 by the end of May. I just started a 4-week workout regimen and I would love to add to it and get some motivation and support from other ladies :-)

    Count me in. I need motivation to get moving. I spend way too much time on my computer. I'd like to establish a regular morning workout routine and this seems like a good way to do it. In June I have my daughter's wedding to look forward to as well as my 60th birthday. I'd love to be 10lbs lighter by the June 2nd wedding.

    This definitely sounds like something awesome! MFP goal is 2 lbs a week - so lets go for 8-10lbs! I also have set a few personal goals for the month of May including now fast food, sweets, or soda. Pretty much already stay away from sweets and soda, but I really want to be consistent in not having any at all! I also have a goal to work out 6 days a week, alternating between cardio and weights each day. I am going to Europe in July and want to look my best! LETS GO!

    This challenge is exactly what I need!

    My goal for May is to lose 8 pounds and to start working out 5 days a week. I have been off track all of April and really need to get focused again!!!

    OH How wonderful! I am totally IN.
    I am 54, and would love to lose 8 pounds that just won't budge.
    I don't have a friend to share my exercise and diet routine with and would really really like someone with the same goals!!!! My home life is dedicated to my son and hubby... so cooking meals and eating what they eat is my biggest problem.
    I am 132lbs and ideally would like to hit 124.
    I am physically active, love to walk, bike, golf and hit the gym when I can.

    I would love to join as I could use the extra accountability. I will turn 36 next week. I will be doing the JM 30 Day Shred challenge in May. I like to run (well jog, really) and am training for a 47 mile bike ride in September. Losing weight will certainly help me in September! I have 25 pounds left to lose. My goal is to lose 8 pounds in May which means I really need to work hard!

    I would love to be in on this! I'm currently starting my weight loss journey and am ready to make the change. I have already joined my local Curves and have dedicated myself to working out there and at home each week. I am trying to slim down a little before a wedding I'm attending at the end of next month and also for my daughter's first birthday! By no means do I want to stop losing weight after those two events. I'm ready to get my old self back!

    Looks like you might have cut off new entries for the challenge. However, if you are still taking newbies, I would love to join. I need an accountability partner, some extra motivation, and to just buckle down and do this!! I understand if you are full though!

    I think you might have closed the group, but I'm looking to lose around 10 pounds in May, so if you need more people I'd love to join. We have 4 weddings this summer and a beach trip booked to South Carolina, so I really need to clean up my diet and get beach ready! Feel free to add me as a friend!

    I'm in! Vacation at the end of June, so want to lose 10-15 lbs in May. I exercise as time allows (at least 3 days a week), am adding the gym to my regime, and log my food religiously... even breaking my no cell phone at the dinner table most nights because I am tracking. :D
