    Hi, I will join you! I am on my last 10 pounds and I really want to lose 5 of it this May. I have a BodyMedia armband that I wear to calculate my calories that I burn each day. So my weekly goal is to have a 4480 calorie deficit for the week so I can lose the 5 pounds by the 29th.

    My goals are to log every morsel of food I put into my mouth, drink my 8 - 8oz glasses of water, and to exercise 6 of 7 days (with at least 2 days of strength training). Also, post every morning my deficit for the day before on our challenge thread.

    This will be fun, I have been looking for a challenge to help my with these 5 pounds for May!
    Thanks!

    well done shapestocome!

    Well I am nearly at the end of Day 1 (am going to have an early night) and I have stayed within calorie limit as well as doing a Dukan Attack day (protein only)

    No scheduled exercise but spent a good two hours at the park with my youngest child this morning, playing football and generally running around, and then spent most of the rest of the day on my feet around shops pushing him in the buggy

    Hope everyone else is feeling good and positive!

    Great job LTEC!! I was looking at the Dukan diet but I am eating flexitarian so most of my meals consist of plant proteins (it's not that I don't eat meat - I just don't eat a lot of it) and I am not sure how that would be for that diet. I look forward to hearing about how it is working for you! Great job on getting out and moving -- exercise is allowed to be fun!! :)

    Yesterday I had a banquet for our bowling league so I ate light most of the day and then ate a nice dinner there. It was also my rest day so I didn't exercise. My body media said I burned 1840 for the day and my cals were 1319 for a deficit of 521.

    Welcome CJ!

    Hope everyone else is doing well!

    Yesterday I choose to sleep in instead of getting up and doing the treadmill BUT... I came home from work at 7:30pm and got a good walk/jog in! So my food intake was - 1351 and my body media said I burned 2054 for the day for a deficit of 703! I am zigzagging my cals so this was a lower day for me -- today is a higher day.

    How is everyone doing?
