    I am in! 5 lbs a month is actually the goal I set for myself when I started. Enough to challenge me, but still reasonable. I have exceeded it in Jan, Feb and Mar, but this month I fell 1 lb short. I wanted to recommit to that for May, so this is perfect! I weigh in on Fridays, so I weighed in this morning at 203. I am going to use that as My start weight. The bonus is, if I meet the challenge, I will be under 200 lbs for the first time in 4 years!!! And that woudl be simply awesome.

    Good luck to all!!

    Me too!! Five is a good goal, but I'm hoping for 8. These challenges give me the right kind of motivation. Hate setting concrete goals and not achieving them.

    For those wondering how this works we ask that you try to weigh and report in about once a week. Many people are here each day reading and posting to help you with this journey. To find this topic again go to community and then my topics this should come up under my topics if you have posted on this thread.

    This group is very informal. There are sometimes exercise or eating challenges to get you to try new things. If you read something interesting on diet and exercise it would be great if you share it here. Any thing to keep us all motivated.

    For those of you have done this challenge before you have read my break down of this challenge but for the newbies here goes...

    To lose 1 pound you must create a deficit of 3500 calories through diet and exercise. When you do this you lose 1 pound.

    To lose 5 pounds in May you must create a deficit of 17,500 calories. May has 31 days so through diet and exercise you need to have a calorie deficit of 565 calories. So eat a little less and exercise a little more. Makes it sound so easy doesn't it. I know from experience it is hard and take determination.

    We are here to be cheerleaders for each to get us to where each of us wants to be.

    Hope to hear from everyone on Sunday for your first weigh-in.

    Let's do it! I'm so excited! I'm hoping to get at least 7 down (mini-goal!)

    Not stoked about the Sunday weigh ins (since Saturday is usually a bad day!) but it will keep me on track for the weekends.

    This is my goal anyway, but these last 10 pounds are a B. And I'm going home at the end of may for Memorial Day Weekend!
