Lose 5 pounds in May - open group

Options
This is a continuation of a group that has run for many months. It is open to anyone who wants to participate. Post your weekly weights, your successes and struggles, and give support to the person above you!

We met lots of new friends in April. Some of us had great success, some moderate and some are stuck in a plateau - let's see what we can do this month!

Here's what you do:

SW: (Starting weight)
CW: (Current weight)
GW: (Goal weight for the month)

Weigh in Dates:
5/1
5/8
5/15
5/22
5/28
End of Month (or whatever weigh in days you use)

Total weight lost:

Just for fun: What fitness event are you going to accomplish this month?
