    My 30 day challenge to myself for May:
    1800 calories a day
    1800 minutes walking
    Weight 230 in 30 days

    If I can do the first two, I'll be happy. Good luck with the diet soda Katie - that's on my list of future challenges.

    I'm on the journey to get under 200 - it feels a long way off at the moment, but am chipping away slowly. Good luck to everyone else :smile:

    Bombolina- it;s because it takes more willpower to lose then it does to gain. i mean who really wants to monitor the food they eat and workout hard to burn calories instead of lounging around ad eating tasty food. You can do it. Remember it's always easier to drag someone down then to pull them up. Don't let the weight drag you down. You got this.


    You're so right. I feel so much better when I eat better. I know it's worth it in the end. I really appreciate the support :flowerforyou:

    My friday weight was 235 so a long way to get to 200. Almost seems overwhelming. But I am just under 5'4 and I reallllly have to do this. So count me in for the long haul. I am pretty new at this, so a friend request would be great. :)

    Getting SOOO close.
    I don't even know what I'll do when I look down and the scale gives me 1**.
    I might have a seizure. :D

    Went to the doctor today. Off course they always weigh you. It was up slightly since the last visit. (.5lb) First I was going to freak out then I remembered my last appointment was in the morning and this one was last thing in the day. I'll have to see when i go the the Gym on Wednesday. 200lb just feels so far away!

    I always hate that my scale always weighs me less than the one at my doctor. Not to mention the fact that when I weigh myself at home I am ususally in minimal clothing and at the doctor's office I have shoes, pants, and a sweatshirt on.

    I'm definitely in this boat. Getting under 200 is close to my end-goal, and it's something I've envisioned for a while now. Count me in!

    Good morning all!! I hope everyone is doing well. I didn't do the best eating this weekend but I have made my step goal of at least 10,000 the last three days. I've been working late so I've not been able to get to the gym so I MUST make my step goal daily!!! Gonna try for the gym again today, tired of working late!

    For the month of May I would like to make my step goal at least 6 days of the week, go to the gym a minimum of 3 days a week, maintain my water intake, and be better about my food!!! I would like to drop a minimum of 10 pounds this month!!

    Have a great day!!

    Good morning all. Well since it's a new month we go a new start. Hopefully the weather will be better to and that always cheers things up. My goal for this month is to be active at least 5 days a week. It worked well for me last month so here's hoping May turns out great!

    Have a great day. Keep on trying your best. On step at a time.

    Schwiggity - congrats on losing 127 pounds - you look fab!!!!

    Katie and Alice - I wonder what our doctors would think if we stripped down to get on those scales, lol. I see my doctor in 4 weeks, I'm glad I've started to lose weight - it'll make it easier. I suffer from on-and-off depression and she sees my weight go up and it's a red flag that I'm in trouble.

    Ellie - I like the picture of the cat in your profile.

    Davali - you've already lost 52 pounds, you're getting much closer. I'm trying to think about it in 10-pound increments, otherwise it's just overwhelming.

    Bombalina - Day 2 of my challenge and I'm doing good.

    Vegas - I'm right there with you (237.5), and I'm barely 5'4" too - let's do this!

    Did well on water, exercise and eating yesterday, but it seemed like a fairly easy day.

    It's been awhile since I've been at a number starting with 1. I'm in, too. I'm getting close, but the weight loss has slowed down a lot. It's frustrating to be so close and not have it happen when we want it to. :)

    Well, I definately want under 200! I started MFP about 10 days ago...and with watching my calorie intake-lost almost 8 lbs pretty quickly. Then this week, I've been exercising and watching all my calories just to gain 2 lbs. It's really frustrating! Has anyone else had this problem? :grumble:
    Anyway--count me in! :)
