Cool End Of May Challenge

Ok, I know, I know....we need another challenge like getting shot in the head!
BUT.............we are going to do one anyway

I find I do better when I start a challenge so here goes. I set my goal date as Memorial Day and just noticed on the calendar that I will not make it. I am not going to kid myself into thinking I can either but I would like to be as close as possible and maybe this challenge will keep me focused.

I will probably not make the 11 pounds down that I need so I am going to go for a goal of 150 by Memorial Day. That gives me 6 weeks to do it. I usually only lose 1 a week but maybe the scale will surprise me if I behave myself.

Join in girls.

I never even thought of that Froufy! Our Memorial Day is May 24th this year. So lets make it a joint challenge. I will rename it to something like May challenge or something.

Oh heck. I'll give it a shot!! Let's see. I'll go for 5 pounds (won't make it but what the heck). If I make my Easter challenge my numbers will have to change. But I doubt I'll make it so I'll keep it as is. lol
