I challenge you to lose 5 pounds a month until the end of the year or until you reach your goal weight. 8 months times 5 pounds means you could be 35 pounds lighter in time for Christmas. Are you up to the challenge? Then I challenge you to do this with me!


January 1 weight 185.6

May 1st weight 174

June 1st weight 174 (bad, bad, bad long weekend)

    I had a bad bad bad long weekend too.

    I am actually shooting for ten pounds this month.

    I think I have at least 5 in water weight alone so I think I can do it.

    I have been blowing it for the last month and a half and have no social obligations this month so it's now or never.

    Start weight Jan 1st 213
    Current weight 202 (up from 194 in April :sad: )

    so many new faces.

    Starting weight February 21 178.4

    June 1, 2010 154.2

    Terri I think the math they were refering to is the fact the 8 months times 5 pounds would be 40 pounds not 35. also Christmas is now 6 months away so 5 pounds a month would make it 30 pounds plus whatever you lose in december. But nobody is quibbling the math. A loss is a loss. I am so glad you are back on line.!!!!!

    Yep! I am in! I am also trying to train to do a 5K this fall--I want to say ,if I can! but I know that is not the way to be! I want to do this!
    I have been trying to lose 1 pound a week so this is a good incentive to do just a bit more.
