    Wooo whoo!! Congrats on no longer being over weight! That's wonderful!! I was fully set on weighing in this morning down here in the Lake of the Ozarks,so I wake up,head to the potty,can't find a scale! There isn't one! Ahhhgg!! So now I have to wait til Tuesday unless I can find a cheapy at the store and do it tomorrow! Downside to being at the lake, hubbys grandparents live in a spot where it isn't safe to go walking due to bad dirt/gravel backroads. And I can't go swimming currently. So its gonna be hard to get in my exercise this weekend. Well, I'm headed off, I will see you all when I have a scale again! Xoxo Bru

    Since this is the last day of the month I thought I should check in. I was down to 160.2 (160 was my May goal) on Friday. Then, the holiday weekend got to me. This morning I feel all fat and bloaty and I weighed in at 161.6. I REALLY want to make the 5 lb. a month goal because I am getting married in October. I guess I really better buckle down! The good news is that I got a treadmill and a HRM this weekend. YAY! Hope everyone had a good weekend! I'll check back in my with my June starting weight tomorrow!

    Thanks for the challenge it helped keep me motivated. I did loose my 5 plus some. I guess I should probably do something like this in my blog/post what ever, it'll help keep me motivated. My friends and I were suppose to do something like this but it was whom ever lost the most BMI by the time we take out trip wins a pot but it seems like ever one gave up on it. Owell i just have to keep it moving. I wish everyone the best in their weight loss journey.

    Did not lose any weight this week so I did not make my goal. I'm really bummer but I'm trying not to let it get me down too much. I ate really well and I worked out like a mad women. Ahh! Oh well, better luck next month I guess. Maybe I need to cut out all sugar or something crazy!

    Congrats to everyone! You all did really awesome!

    Hmm. Five pounds a month should be pretty simple, on my last diet (WeightWatchers) I lost about 3 pounds a week - and 8 in my first week.

    I accept your challenge...but hope to lose more than that every month :happy:

    HI PALS;
    Well we made it thru another month. Congrats to all of you for effort, endurance, good attitudes, motivation, and losing or jumping back on the band wagon if you feel off for a day. That is what it is all about. Re training your self to learn how to live a healthy and happy life style. :smile: We can do this if we stick together!!!

    I feel like you are all my friends and it would be fun if we could meet and have a MFP reunion to cheer each other on and CELEBRATE all the changes we have seen.:drinker:

    It has been a good month for me. BUSY like heck but that is the way I like it. SLEEP would be nice too though. and TOMORROW at 11:30 will be the end of the school year so I'll kiss those little 9 year olds good bye and send them off to 4th grade!! I really won't shed too many tears this year. But will miss the 5 students that are moving country and I won't see next year.

    Just wanted to say Bye to MAY and HELLO JUNE!!!:bigsmile:
    Robin you are really rocking... Way to go.
    Tralalara- WOW 8 pounds.. That has never happened to me in one month. I would celebrate for sure!!
    Terri, We'll miss you until Tuesday. Hope the internet is up and running soon.
    need-to-lose _ WAY exciting that you lost the 5 pounds. YES GO GIRL!!!!
    happy-heather _ Good job working out and eating hellthy. some times it just take you r body a couple days to figure it out. YOU WILL LOSE. just keep up the good work.
    EVERYONE else ... LOVE ya. PHYLJEN:heart:

    I'm in.
    I am currently at 139 lbs and going through a weight loss plateau. Kinda frustrated but I also realize that I am building a lot of muscles. Hopefully I can lose 5lbs month of June.
    By end of June 2010 I hope to be 134lbs.

    Well I'm still on vacation in the ozarks. I didn't get a scale while out yesterday, I did weigh myself Thursday evening, something I never do,but it claimed that I actually weighed less than the last time! So I figured i'd just use that as my final May weigh in, so here goes: 5/3. 240. 5/10. 237.6. 5/16. 236.6. 5/21. 235.2 and 5/27. 232.8. Woot woot!! I honestly didn't rhink I did that great this month until I just tallied up! Great job to all the 'losers' and maintainers and to anyone who didn't lose or gained, remember, tomorrow starts a new month!! I'm starting couch to 5k when I ger home, (holds up bottle of water) here's to a great June!! Xoxox Bru

    Hi everyone! Well I was out camping & didn't get home to my scale to weigh in this morning. I started this thread on 5/11 @ 244 and my last weigh in was last week sometime at 240.8 I really want to hit that 239 for May! So hopefully I can start our June Challenge at 239...lets see what my weigh in is in the morning! I'm hoping!!! I was TOO good this weekend. Went to a birthday party & passed up all the cake! Hope you all have a great evening!

    Sorry for the late weigh-in! I am at 156. :grumble: While I'd rather be lower than that, I fell pretty far "off the wagon" last week and am happy I didn't gain too much.

    I am leaving for vacation (in Florida) on Friday. Woohoo! I think I will do alright with my eating. I am not going to track calories or post much.... maybe not at all! I am not sure if we will have internet or not, and I do not think I will bring my laptop along anyways. We will have a kitchen to prepare meals so I won't have to eat out all the time.

    I am looking forward to moving on to the June challenge! I am expecting better results for myself than I had in May!

    Well I didn't meet the challenge! I weighed in at 240.0 this morning. :sad: But I guess a 4lb loss since 5-11 isn't so bad! (That is they day I started MFP!)

    Here's to a better June! :bigsmile:

    WOW, what a week-end! I was afraid to get on the scale this morning......still 139, not bad considering all the great food we had over the last three days.

    This morning I started calorie cycling, thought I'd try something new to get past 139, today is a low cal day and high protien low carb (good thing after the high calorie week-end), but I have no idea what kind of snacks would work. So, if anyone would like to throw some ideas out there I'd be thankful.
