    After doing some serious thinking about what to do with June I have decided that I will still have the challenge and the spreadsheet. However, I will not be opening it to the general public. It will just be open to the people currently in the May challenge or a select few that have messaged me already about joining.
    I don't like not being able to give a full effort and I feel like I have let you guys down this past month with my efforts. If you aren't aware I am due to have a baby shortly and am pretty sure my life in June will be pretty crazy due to that.
    I will post a thread for the June challenge today or tomorrow. It will say closed group at the top to keep from getting hundreds of new people.

    Thanks for doing this. I'd love to be included in June. Even if you don't get around to doing a spreadsheet, it's fine with me. Your challenge gives me an accountablity when I report in weekly, and it's really helped me stay on track. And when the weight loss feels slow going, I can look back to what I've documented on this challenge, and it really helps. Wishing you the best with the arrival of your little one this next month. What a precious time. Enjoy.

    5/28: 236
    5/31: 238 - hopefully water weight from TOM. Little disappointed though as was doing well.

    Well done to everyone, I have been browsing through the thread and don't remember seeing anyone who hasn't lost anything this month so successes all round, YAY!

    If anyone wants to add me as a friend go for it. I like to comment on peoples statuses and like to encourage!

    A big thank you for the hard work done logging everyones scores. It's a huge task and muchily appreciated. I think opening a spreadsheet that people can alter themselves if a good idea. Good luck with the baby x

    Cant wait for June! I agree. It wasn’t the spreadsheet that kept me going. (Although it was nice) It was logging in each week and seeing the numbers go down. Enjoy your time with your new little one.

    I didn't get out of the 150's as quickly as I had hoped. Getting a little tougher to get the weight off. Though my progress is slowing down, I am determined to reach my ultimate goal.

    Today is the final day and I hit my goal. I have worked very hard and am so proud of myself. The next goal weight will take me out of the 70's and put me into the 60's where I have not lived in almost 15yrs! I have lost the 30 lbs that I gained before my injury and am inspired to keep going. (I lost 5lbs on my own before joining MFP)
    I am not sure where my journey will take me from here but I do know that I am looking strong and healthy. Thank you to all of my MFP friends without whose help I could never have done this. I love you all!!!!

    Whew, what a month! I was so excited to see the numbers on the scale this morning after a rough weekend and a bit of a gain on Monday probably due to water weight and sodium intake.

    Thank you so much for doing this bmfrazie! I've been a part of this challenge since February and I truly enjoy seeing everyone's progress. Hope to be able to participate in June. Best wishes to you and the upcoming little one. :)

    I will post a thread for the June challenge today or tomorrow. It will say closed group at the top to keep from getting hundreds of new people.

    We totally understand your life is busy and just appreciate the fact that you are able to still manage this challenge. You are helping so many people and we appreciate it and totally understand. Good luck on your upcoming new arrival. Thanks so much! You have NOT let us down but lifted us up. :)

    (had typo. Changed 190.7 to 190.8 to correct.)
    5/07: 189.6 (not as much as I wanted since last week went up due to the popcorn at the show but still a loss. YAY!
    5/14: 186.8 (went up from 2 days ago. Yest was Mother's Day...lots of homemade bread made from scratch.)
    5/21: 188.2 (had SIX bags of 11 oz Doritos--HUGE bag--and I ate them ALL!! Less than a week, so I "asked" for it.
    5/28: 188.0
    5/31: 186.8 Not even 3 pounds for May, HOWEVER, I did learn something. DO NOT BUY LOTS of stuff because you may or may not be able to handle the temptation.

    5/14: 223.2lbs (Loss but alittle less than what I wanted it to be, but a loss is a loss)
    5/21: 221.2lbs Yay! Getting there slowly but surely!
    5/28: 222.2lbs Sucks, TOM is here to visit and holiday cookouts, but I'm not complaining only 1lb and TOM won't be here 4ever.
    5/31: 222.2lbs Didn't quit make my goal for this month but may have just because I am bloated right now from TOM visiting, so therefore I am still quite excited. Also any loss for me is better than no lose this month, so I am celebrating.....YAY! Time to get ready for June baby.

    5/07: 177.6 could be worse
    5/14: 178.0 wtf
    5/21: 176.0 woohoo
    5/28: 174.2 YES! going down
    5/31: 173.4 Is this really happening? Woohoo

    Holy crap I can't believe I lost 5 pounds this month. 5.2 to be exact. So I didn't quite make my goal of 170 but hey I'll get there soon. I really believe the turning point for me was getting the food scale. It's amazing how wrong I was with my guess-timations.

    5/21: 195.8 I over-indulged after my enforced fast this week so I didn't lose as much as I hoped...that and graduation parties. Still going in the right direction though!
    5/28: 195.6 hmmmm Too many graduation and welcome summer parties.....better get my butt out of the chair.....
    5/31 195.6
    First time I haven't met my goal. No excuses....just need to keep watching what I'm doing and lay off the adult beverages!
