May Challenge!!!!

Sounds good. Im going on a cruise on May 20th, so I'll count that as my last day in May. I hope to lose about 4 pounds by then, making my total weightloss over 10 lbs. I'll be measuring with a scale. Motivators are the cruise and cruise clothing! My biggest weaknesses are office sweets, and nighttime ice cream cravings!
I'm zumba-ing tonight, so that should put me at a good start for the 1000 exercise calories.

Im so on to do this challange my goal is to loose 8 pnds by labor weekend that means I have to burn 2200 calories per week my weakness is gathering with my friend and having a few drinks which triggers me to eat but Im over it Good Luck Ladies

I can do this! I recently signed up on Fitness Pal and am committed to loose 50 lbs and be at my ideal weight (150). I love to use the Cybex machine and 24 hour fitness but have not worked out all this week. My daily allotted caloric intake is 1880, so add 1000 and I need to burn 2880 calories in exercise next week.......I WILL DO THIS. Good luck everybody. We are worth it! Keep you all posted, do the same.

I am willing to give this a whirl.

What your goals are for the month: To lose SOME weight. I am not even going to put a # out there since I seem to have hit a brick wall lately any is better than none at all, I guess.

How you will be measuring: I guess the scale is the easiest way to tell. Or I may also pull out those summer outfits that have not fit me for far too long. LOL

What your motivators are: Definitely trying to age as gracefully as possible. I am trying to get pregnant and will hopefully need all the energy I can get for chasing little ones around soon.

What your biggest weakness are: Knowing when to put the utensils down. :-(

Starting May 1:
Oh boy! 2400 calories per week. Well.....that will be a bit of a challenge but it is worth trying.

New activity? I guess. LOL

"Each week, you have to choose something to do that you don't necessarily like, but you know is good for you....and do it twice. Not a fan of broccoli? Eat it!!! Twice!! Toss the cigarettes on your break and take a walk around your building. Twice!! You get the picture!"

HAHA ..... But I really like broccoli and eat it regularly. I tossed the cigs some time ago, too. I will try to come up with something.

so i already burn 3600 a week....anymore and i will die....can i just stick with 3600??

I am in!

My goal is 2 pounds in May. I keep losing the first four and then, junk food attacks every night, prohibit me from doing what I WANT to do!!!!! I am my worst enemy! What is wrong with me!!!???

SO, goal is to get over this hurdle by losing 2 pounds in May. Step on the scale and say "I can do this!"

Biggest problem: The junk food at night? Crazy stupid!

Motivation: Feel better about spring and summer clothing (no more sweaters or jackets)

How: Eat right at lunch and snack, having dinner organized each day and this will help me stop the crazy eating at night.

Exercise: I do 2 days of strength training, but in May, I will add 2 more days of walking.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!!!
