Lose 5 Pounds A Month- May 2010 Challenge

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.

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:

I lost 5 lbs this month. Go me!!!!

May 21: 251.2
May 31: 246.2

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. 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!!

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!

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:

Total weight loss for May: 12 pounds!! Wow I blew it out of the water this month.

WOW! That is AWESOME! Congratulations! I wish I had your drive! I am truly inspired!

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.

Well I think I did pretty darned good considering I didnt start the challenge till the middle of may. My may starting challenge weight was 233.6 and my current weight is 230.4. 3.2 ib lose! Way to go me! And congrats to everyone else.
