    OK, here's my first post since I weigh in on Mondays!

    SW 151
    CW 143.2
    GW 129
    UTG: 124 ?


    Weigh in dates for May:
    4/30: 143.2
    5/7:
    5/14:
    5/21:
    5/28:
    5/31:

    My goal for May is to finish losing 10% from my initial body weight, which would end up a total of 15.1 lbs. To meet that goal, I need to lose 7.3lbs in May...I just lost 7.8lbs in April so I think this is totally do-able! That would put be at 135.9 or less on May 31!

    Oh and a few NSVs this week-- I took my body fat % measurement for the first time in months, and it has gone down from 32% to 26.6%! AND during my 3 mile run, i had my fastest recorded mile in 12 years (since junior high!) - 10:39! I'm feeling so strong and motivated! I'm looking forward to finishing 30 DS this month and possibly starting P90X!

    I am in too! :)

    CW: 93.3
    GW:92
    Cwaist: 25
    Gwaist: 24

    I want to loose body fat on my belly so my goal is to reduce at least one inch of waist by the end of May and look great on a new dress I'll be wearing by that time.
    My difficulty is that I can only do cardio like spinning/elliptical/walking because of a rib fracture, so not able to lift weights.
    I can do this!!

    I'll be checking in every Monday of May.

    I usually weigh myself on a Wednesday but I weighed myself this morning just so I would know exactly what weight I am at the beginning of May! I was down 2lbs since last week so it looks like I recorded a 7lbs loss for April (same as March) :drinker: Here's hoping for another good month!

    Weight at start of challenge (5/1): 152
