Slim down for summer - May Challenge

First challenge. Want to lose 20 pounds in total. Calorie target 1500 . Working out 4/5 days per week.

I'd love to join your challenge!

I'm trying to lose 8 more pounds (one per week though, and I have lost 12 so far!) so I hope to reach my goal by the end of June! I am exactly five feet tall, 22 years old, enjoy hot yoga, circuit training, weight lifting, and being outdoors. I began at 130 and am trying to reach and maintain a body weight around 110. My biggest problem when it comes to eating is binge eating at night time. I could easily consume 1000+ calories in 30 minutes by ravaging through all my food like a mad woman haha So I have been trying to limit the late night binges. They have gotten better (eating less) but I'd like to eliminate them altogether. I would have already reached my weight loss goal if it weren't for being a binge eater. My goal is to eat 1400 calories a day, stop eating by 7 pm, and try to increase my protein intake.


Anyone please feel free to add me as a friend (:

Losing weight and motivation would be very nice. Over all I want to lose 40lbs, so far I have lost 7lbs after gaining 15lbs after an injury. I have been trying to keep myself between 1200-1400 calories.

I'd like to join!!
I'm 5'8" 180lbs 23yrs old. Trying to lose about 20lbs and get back to my lightest of 160. I'd like to lose 40lbs overall but I'm starting smaller.
I try to eat around 1200 cals a day, workout 4-5 days a week doing cardio and weight training.
Definitely need motivation and accountability. Look forward to starting!!

I would I like to join. Haven't started any plan yet. I hope to eat 1400 calories a day, workout three times a week for 30 minutes, and would like to lose 15lbs. Currently weigh 145 and would like to be 130lbs.

I would really like to be in this group! I weigh 198 I've lost about 9# since February but could do so much better. I like the idea of weighing in on Monday and def need the accountability. I work out about 5 days a week, cardio and lifts. I wanna get down to 160

Hi

I need to lose 46 lbs, I just started 30 days shred and I run on the treadmill like 4 times a week.
My goal is 1400 calories, just had a baby and added a lot of weight that I need to get rid off.
I weight about 211 now

I need to lose 50 pounds. Starting weight 172, getting TurboFire May 1st and plan on logging and keeping my calories under 1600.

Thank you so much for starting this challenge. I really need help in the motivation department.

To answer your questions

1. Goal in May is to lose 10-12 lbs (long-term goal is to lose 110)
2. I've lost 2 lbs in the past 2 weeks
3. I joined a boot camp and should be attending 3 times a week but been finding myself only attending once a week. I also walk an average of 8K steps a day. I eat low carb diet (3 meals and 2 snacks a day)

Good luck to everyone!

Hello! So far I have lost 3 kg. And I wanted to lose another 8 kg. Calorie intake is 1200 per day. Workout 4 days a week.
Thanks for setting this up!

I would like to join, I need to loose 60lbs,lost 10lbs already on 1500cal diet. I will start to walk 4 times a weeks for an hour because I work three 12hr shift days.

This sounds like it will be an awesome motivator!!
I started, jeez, like 6 years ago, didn't realize I have had mfp for so long!! Anyways, sw:165. Currently I am 132 lbs.
I'd like to get to 118-120.
I basically just eat whatever and make sure it fits in my calorie allotment which is between 1400 to 2000 depending on my daily burn.

I have struggled with an eating disorder and have found not getting on my scale and not making "good" and "bad" food groups to be super helpful. Which is why I eat whatever. And probably won't report weight until the end or if I had a doc visit and they weighed me.

Exercise wise I do HIIT, Pilates, yoga, and body weight exercises. Usually 5-6 days a week.

Sorry for the length of this!

Would love to give & get motivation!
Goal lose 25lb, increase strength/endurance
Max weight 180lb ~5 years ago, dieted & worked out 120lb~ 3 years ago. Had a very difficult past year physically & emotionally and now back up to 150. None of my clothes fit
Vegetarian 1200cal/day, seriously need to increase essential amino acid intake.
Easing into exercise- have to go slow due to injuries that won't heal (probably because lacking lysine).
Used to run-knees & heels can't take it now. Want to start lifting but wary of more injuries if done incorrectly.

Hello!
This is my 1st day on myfitnesspal and I suppose I can celebrate it by joining this, if it's okay ofcourse!
So, I need to lose about 22 pounds (hopefully by the end of June), I've already lost 28.8 pounds in the past 4-5 months, and my Diet - eat 1000-1200 cals, water fast 4 days a month (on Rest days), workout 6 days a week for 90 mins.
Good luck all, and let's reach our goals!
