    Hello

    Couldn't work out how to quote my post into the new link so here's a brief update!

    Start weight this month
    59.9
    18/5 58.8
    GW for this month 58 kilos

    Nearly there. Had an enforced exercise break due to illness, but back on it now.

    Good luck for the rest of the month! :-)

    Monthly fitness goal / event: Have a family fun run coming up in a few weeks with my son's school.......should be fun and a challenge! This event was this past Saturday! So much fun to see the kids race! I tried to keep up! I even got in a few miles of walking in the park afterward while my son played with his friends. Overall a very successful fitness Saturday! :smile:

    Although they weren't totally new since I've tried both types of classes before, I went to 2 classes I hadn't been to before (one of my fitness goals for may): a hooping class and a burlesque dancing class. Both were really fun and made me feel confidant about my body. Burlesque looks so much better when performed by a curvy woman!!

    I'm really thrilled with my progress this month. I did TDEE-20% for two months and didn't make the kind of progress that I would have liked. I switched to mfp's recommendations to lose 1 lb per week at the beginning of May and have started to lose pounds regularly. I'm finally out of the obese category!

    Weigh in time....

    Starting weight: 174.6
    Goal weight for May - Somewhere in the 160's.
    UGW- 150 (We will see from there.)

    May 3rd-174.6
    May 9th - 174.2
    May 15th - 173.3
    May 23rd - 172.6

    Down 2 lbs so far. It looks like I may not make the 5, but at least I am headed in the right direction. My clothes are already starting to feel better. I am doing some muscle work too, so maybe that has something to do with it.
