    Goal weight on May 31st : 171

    5/01: 176.2
    5/07: 176.2 (blah)
    5/14: 174.4
    5/21: 173
    5/28: 173.3 (sigh, rough long weekend)
    5/31: 170.6

    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. :)

    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.

    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. :)

    Goal weight on May 31st : 182.0

    5/01: 190.8 (went up. I went to the show yesterday. LOTS of salty popcorn. Still a big challenge for me.)
    (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.

    Goal weight on May 31st : 218lbs (Just have to really stay focused, I can do this)

    5/01: 226.8lbs
    5/07: 224.2lbs Yay!!
    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.

    I agree. I'm sure it takes LOTS of time. And I just wanna say thank you also. I need to be held accountable. Except for my MFP friends, I am doing this alone.

    CW: 178.6
    Goal weight on May 31st : 170.0

    5/01: 177.8 slow & steady
    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.

    5/14: 196.5 Slow and steady wins the race, I guess! Have a medical procedure coming up this week so my eating is going to be way wierd. We'll see how that messes with things!
    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!

    AMEN!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck with the new baby and all the changes it will bring to your family! Pooh on the meany-heads out there who gave you grief this month. This has been a bigger incentive for me than anything else. Just knowing that people can see my progress week by week is keeping me accountable....well, maybe not so much this month! Whatever you are able to do this month will be appreciated by all of your "loyal followers"!

    I am proud to annouce that for the first time all month I officially have the darn spreadsheet updated! Check it out!

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqfM2VasNXWbdHBwZTV5TDN6bVNib1FTaXNpeEdGeEE#gid=0

    I wont post our biggest loser for May until later since we still have a ton of people that need to post that weight. Thank you to everyone who understands that sometimes life happens and we all need to just roll with the punches. Sorry I had a rough month on keeping up with everything.

    In the next few mins I will be posting the CLOSED group thread in the forum for you to follow. This group is open to anyone still on the spreadsheet OR people that have followed along for the entire month.
