    Total weight lost (for May): 2.0 lbs.

    The bad news is that I don't anticipate hitting my goal, but the good news is that I know what happened and how to fix it. It was my own doing. But that's okay. I'm lighter than I was, and I've been sticking to some fitness programs, so hopefully I'll see more success next month.

    Final day of May....

    Weigh in.....

    Starting weight: 174.6

    May 15th - 173.3

    Loooking forward to June's accountability challenge.

    I reached my goal this month!!! I would have liked to lose one more pound but I went out of town for the Memorial Day weekend and I think it was a bit of a setback as far as weight loss. Without it I think I could have lost another pound, but it was totally worth it and I had a great time. Long term weight loss is give and take sometimes.

    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.


    I made it to 58.3!
    Good luck for the rest of the month! :-)
