    I am joining late but would still like to jump on board to stay accountable. Hubby and I started a challenge so this community keeps me focused in losing 2 lbs in May for that challenge and hoping to come close to this one. Good Luck!

    Back down from my sushi night, but no more losses this week. May and June are rough months for staying on track, I have a birthday party or family event every weekend from Mother's Day until the 4th of July. I hope I can stay on track! I really want to reach my goal final goal by the end of June, (my 33rd birthday.)

    My scale broke and I refuse to buy another one right now so I'll go by how my favorite jeans fit (or not!). Based on that, I haven't lost ANY weight in the past 10 days. :( Discovering the most delicious GF/DF snack bar last week definitely has NOT helped!

    Does anyone else depend mostly upon body weight exercises for building muscle?

    I've changed my goal weight from 120 to 125. I'm planning a recomp-type program once I'm at goal, and I don't think I would have enough body fat at 120 to make it worth the effort--I'd probably end up having to add 5 lbs of muscle anyway, and I'd rather not lose the weight only to have to put it back on.

    My point is, now that I've changed my goal, I'M ONLY 2.8 LBS AWAY!!!

    I'm quite proud that I was able to maintain my weight over long weekend considering how much food that I ate! I attribute that to a good hike in the bush and a fair bit of walking. :)

    I was 120.2 (GOAL!) on Friday, but then I went on a family cabin trip over the weekend and ate camping food and a lot of beer for 3 days.

    A lot of water over the past weekend due to extreme hot weather so I think some of it was water weight. However, I have lost 1 inch over all this month so I can't complain!

    Still sticking to my "diet" but no loss for me. I'm ok with that for now. I can see better definition in my arms and legs. Muscle fat % has dropped on my scale, so I think I am moving in the right direction...

    Sorry. I don't. I have a barbell (40lbs) and free weights. I also have a weight machine, but use it mostly for leg extensions and kickbacks, and lateral pull downs...
