    Thought I might join the group as I have you as a friend already, to keep me motivated. Can I do mine on fat % though?


    I want to lose 2 to 3 % Body fat but in a month I will be happy with 1%
    I have lost 13.6% body fat so far and I am currently 12.4%
    I work out every day, mixture of running and weights. I eat a lot but workout a lot.

    Hi Friend!
    Of course you can do BF % for your "weigh in" on Mondays. I intend to log my BF too. Did you buy calipers or are you using a special scale?

    I've added the rest of you who want to join the challenge as friends. Please follow this thread and my profile for updates.

    I would like to do this :) But I am going on a trip starting May 25. Is that still allowed? I'll probably miss the last weigh in.

    - I need to lose about pounds between 0.6 and 8.6 lb (sadly, I've been trying to get to goal for a year and a half at this weight :( ). If I get 0.6 lbs down and stay under that then that's ok, but it's my new goal - the one I made when I started giving up on my original goal.
    - I've already lost 21.4 pounds
    - Diet- supposed to eat 1650 cals, try to exercise 3 times a week minimum. No eating back exercise calories unless I really need to. Occasional "maintenance" day.

    I would love to join the May challenge, I would like to lose 25 pounds, I had lost 80 pounds but have gained about 25 back due to going on a hormone patch (hysterectomy) and steroids and would love to get the weight off again. I am currently in a size 10 and would love to be in a 6-8 again. My goal is 1200 calories and I will be using my companies Green coffee bean extract, Thermal Java, Nite lite and a liquid vitamin to help me get to my goals by June. I always drink 1 gallon of water a day so that should also help.

    Hi,

    I would like to join the challenge group as well.

    I want to lose between 8-15 pounds. I workout 4-6x a week & my caloric goals change depending on how I'm feeling but I'm typically between 1600-1800 cals.

    Thanks! Can't wait to get started. This is also going to give me motivation to get on track & stay on track before May 1st so I can come in with less to lose.

    count me in please. I've gained about 45 lbs in the last 2 years. I broke my ankle and had surgery, and never got back to where I was at. I really need some motivation. My goal per day is 1500 food calories, and I will take credit for exercise that I do. My goal is to work out at least 5 times per week, but 6 would be better. I'm trying to get back into the insanity work outs, because they have worked for me before. I'm drinking maxpro protein every day now as well, and bringing healthy choice meals to work for lunch because I'm a loan officer and it seems like I eat out a lot. I'm sure that has contributed tremendously to the weight gain.

    Hi,

    I would like to join the challenge too!

    I am at my heaviest weight ever right now unfortunately due to being very inactive post a major surgery recently/plus some college weight gain. I am trying to lose 26.4 pounds (obviously not in a month).

    My diet is 1200 calories, I do not adjust as a net for exercise. I plan to exercise 6x per week, however due to my aforementioned surgery I do sometimes need to take extra rest days.

    I invested in the Skulpt body fat machine, which is really good.

    Last Feb I weighes 355lbs. This Feb I'm at 321lbs. I started cutting out on what and how much I eat last summer. Second, I started walking 2miles per day on Oct 18, 2015. January 2nd, 2016 I joined the gym. 4 months later I'm sooo enjoying the gym. I'm starting to see the results and I'm feeling good. My goal is to lose 10lbs per month. By Feb 2017, I am going to be 200lbs.

    So I would like to join this challenge.

    Thank you.

    I would like to join the challenge. I am at my highest weight after a couple difficult years of life. I need to lose 25 pounds. My goal is 1 lb. per week. I am eating 1300 calories a day. I take two sculpting classes per week and dance, bike or do elliptical about 3 times a week. When I don't do any of those things, I at least go for a walk. I have learned about myself that the only forms of exercise that are sustainable for me in the long run are ones that I truly enjoy.
