5/1: 265.7
Goal: 253

Last week I lingered right around 263 last week so I don't think my almost 266 this morning is very accurate. I calculated my goals a few days ago based on the weight then, so it may not be quite as big of a goal as it appears but it's still going to be pretty aggressive.

I am banking on the weather being on my side this month, allowing me to get out not only get some good walks in, but also to give us a chance to start working on the garden and cleaning up the mess a long, nasty winter left behind.

Scale Goal:
253 (250 by June 9)

Non-Scale Goals:
4 or less days over my calorie goal (I had 12 days over goal in April...gah)
10k Steps/day (I only hit 10k 9 times in April)

I am excited for better weather to be here and have summer just around the corner. This winter has been long and miserable. I'm so excited to get out and get stuff done.

Loving the alternative goals this month!

May 1st 147
Goal weight end of May 145

Other goals:
Run the Bermuda Day half marathon (24th of May)
Don't obsess over TTC this month (no tracking - trying to just "relax")

@VeryKatie it looks like some of the progress metrs are broken in the spreadsheet. Has something gone wrong in the background calculations? Can you fix it or should I move my data to a different column?

May 2. The scale said 175 .my April goal.
It's a wildly busy month. So... I'd like to manage my stress. Exercise on 10 days . Skip the crap. Feel great for my 33rd birthday. And hit 173 would be lovely. But 174 would rock!

May goals....somewhere between maintain and maybe gain a pound or 2? I'll be 14 weeks along at the end of the month, so if I gain a little thats probably fine. I'll check with my doctor next week to see what she advises.

Otherwise, I need to start exercising again. I dropped off the wagon with nausea and exhaustion. I went to the gym on Monday for the first time in a few weeks, and also bought a prenatal yoga DVD to hopefully get some good stretching in!

Nice drop!

You're at goal already? That's amazing @samlovesthesnow!!! Maintaining the loss is great goal for the rest of the month, I'm sure all the training will help with that.

Hello ladies, joining late because the past month at work has been pretty crazy. But I could use some accountability and I missed you all. Have been lightly lurking.

SW (5/7): 123.8
CW: 124.5
GW: 122

Not really trying to have any huge losses; have reset calories to maintenance and just want to be comfortably between 120-125 for the rest of forever. Maybe gain some muscle in the process. My non-scale goals are more important now as I have less than 6 weeks before the triathlon.
- Eat a minimum of 80g of protein as often as possible
- Swim 3x/week
- Run 2-3x/week
- Bike 3x/week
- Lift 2x/week

I'm not sure how this is all going to fit in but I'm going to try.

@girlalmighty08 goal buddies for the month! What kind of diet are you eating? Im doing low carb, so lots of salad with avocado and cheese-yum!

You've got this, you had such a great drop on the 4th so don't stress about the scale fluctuating a little bit

Hello Ladies, I'm hoping I can join your group. I have two little girls; my husband and I are trying for our third in August. I always wanted to be the cute thin mom, but really I need to lose at least 15 lbs to be in a healthy range for the pregnancy.
5/1: 207.8
5/31: Goal 200.
It's a push, but I would like to be out or close to out of the 200s again.

@Kirstie155 I'm with you, April was not kind! Hopefully May will be the fresh start we need.

@VeryKatie so good to hear you aren't too worried about weight, I'm sure you are right where you need to be and most new mums would be the biggest they have ever been- you are supposed to put on quite a bit. Enjoy the last few months!!

@SheilAnneSmith so jealous of your weather, in Aus we are coming into winter- not excited. Get out there and enjoy!!

5/1: 204.4
5/31: 199.4

I think I can lose 5, the only thing that will derail it would be a pregnancy, but I'm sure I can forgive myself for that Just trying to talk myself out of it as it's so unlikely first month

heh heh heh I had to go back and read this lol.

Haha you can't get away with anything on these forums, everything is in writing!

@1fit_mamma -- I thought for a bit it might have been me screwing it up the other day because I had some I days I thought I filled in that weren't there when I went into the spreadsheet, but the numbers on your row didn't match my missing entries.

Back on track after my travels (home to Scotland for 10 days). It's been hard to adjust back to my usual routine as my appetite has increased since being away! Adding in more running is helping to keep on top of it.

@girlalmighty08 - hang in there! When you're doing everything right the results will show on the scale eventually. I always notice a bit of a gain after a hard workout too - it will sort itself out.
