Shorts and bathing suits and sundresses, oh my! The warm weather is upon us (ok, it's upon some of us, and the rest of you will have it soon!), which means less clothing to hide behind! Lose a few lbs in May, and you'll be feeling good and confident when you're showing a bit more skin this summer.

The rules of our challenge are simple. We are here to provide each other some accountability along the path to weight loss, so just set a weight loss related goal(s) and I'll add it to our goal list for the month of April. When you reach your goal for the month it will be turned RED in our goal list!

We have a sister thread for exercise goals, http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/chic...challenge.html, and all your exercise-related goals can be posted there; this thread is for weight loss goals specifically.

We love to hear about your success as well as your challenges throughout the month, so please share them with us. We're here to support and encourage each other to be our best.

Remember that no matter what your May goal is, it's sticking with it that really counts in the end. Good luck to everyone this month!!

I'll be doing hormone injections from this weekend through the remainder of the month, and those mess with my weight, so my goal for May is simply to still be in the 130s (anywhere in the 130s!) at month's end. I'm also making it a goal to log every single bite I eat this month, including estimates for meals out, since I've been slacking a bit on that lately. I'm hoping that will help keep me on track when the hormones are making me ravenous!

Chick - hormone injections? That must be rough! Sending good thoughts your way this month.

Starting in at 225 - I need to cruise into the "teens" again - going for -8lbs.

216 by the end of May! Let's do this!

Good luck with those hormone injections chickadee, I'm sure with your determination you will stay in the 130's all month long! Logging my food intake has been a big help on this journey and has definitely helped me stay on track.

Good luck dcapulet, I'm sure you will get to the "teens" this month!

150lbs by the end of May for a 5 lb loss.

I'm just starting and really excited to challenge myself!

[KimL1214]

I wanna lose 8lbs.!!! Sooooo... 244 is what I'm aiming for!

[gardenerjoy]

My goal for May is 15 days below 75kgs.

And I started off below 75kgs this morning, so 1 day done!

[Steph7409]

My goal is to be at 140. I'm hoping more outdoor activity (if it ever warms up here!) will be helpful. Lose It tells me gardening and yardwork burn lots of calories - not sure I believe it, but it's gotta be better than sitting inside!

chickadee, good luck with the injections. And good luck to all with your May goals!

[knobhdy]

I'd like to break back into Onederland. So my goal is to be anywhere under 199.9 by the end of the month. Starting at 205.2 this morning.

Good luck everyone.

[ashori602]

Since I didn't lose any weight last month I'm going to aim for 166.6 again :P

[aniela26]

Count me in for May! My goal this month is to break 200 for the first time in my adult life...or at least make it to 200. Onederland, here I come!

Good luck everyone!

miatutu - That sounds like a great goal! Good luck to ya

For me... now that I am finally seeing some movement, I am shooting for 183. That's probably steep considering that I JUST finally started seeing consistent movement on the scale again, but the way I figure it - each month I miss by mere ounces... so set it higher and lose more even if I miss by ounces again

Oooh, I need this. I want to get under 90kg, so 3.6kg (8lb).

2nd: 93.6kg
9th: 92.4kg
