Lose 5 Pounds a Month May 2011 Challenge

Still better than I expected, I really thought I would have gained this week, there was a lot of eating out, and not eating out at the best places. But no gaining, and no losing. So broke even, I can still make this goal though, I have already lost 4lbs this month. So time to step it up this week, my goal for this week, is to find the time somehow to burn at least 2500 calories. Its a super busy week, so it will be a challange, oh and no eating out.

Everyone is doing great! I'm in for a June challenge! June is going to be tough, because my daughter has 3 softball tournaments and consession stands are a real weakness of mine. Especially when you are at the ball fields all day for 2 days. But I am going to bring healthy snacks and work on getting exercise in between games. No reason why I can't run a bit too! Good luck to everyone.0

I have exercise plenty but my reality is that I have in fact gone over my calories several times this past week. My goal for Monday-Friday is to remain at my calories or even better go 200 less calories. Linscave, don't worry keep changing things a bit and you will achieve better results. Come on everyone don't give up, let's knock those 5 lbs off if not at least a couple. Keep up the good work. Best Rosie0 -

I got sun burnt on Friday and am drinking way more water than I'm use to. I think I'm retaining most of it...I'm hoping the sunburn will ease off and I'll get the scale going in the right direction!
I'm in for a June challenge as well!!0 -

I'm thrilled to see an actual loss for the first time in over two weeks! It's just been going up and down between 196 and 197 this whole time. Maybe I will reach the 5 lbs after all!0 -
Didn't lose anything last week so I'm still at 1.6 loss for the month. It's nobody's fault but my own. I've only been staying on the program 50% of the time. I know I can do this I just don't know why I'm not putting much effort into it lately. How can I want something so bad but not do what it takes to get it?? :mad: :mad: SO FRUSTRATED WITH MYSELF. ugggghhhh!
Congrats to all you guys that are doing such a great job. And for those that are in the boat with me...we have to keep at and not give up. We're not asking our body to do something impossible.
Have a great week everyone. :flowerforyou:0 -
