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 :lol:

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.

Okay so for us Canucks here - when exactly is Memorial Day? What about a Victoria Day Challenge - May 24th? ha ha ha (we get the monday off - to celebrate Queen Victoria's birthday - no joke! yippee!).

Multi-national/multi cultural Froufy:)

:rofl: 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.

:rofl:

Im In!!

Jane 157/150

Jane are you sure Memorial day is the 24th? My calendar says the 31st and that is when my kids are off....

OH CRAP! I have my dates all wrong.

Ok, so we will have an End of May Challenge!!!!!!!!


:rofl:

:lol:

so maybe now I WILL make my goal! Thanks for the extra week!

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

Brenda you can do it, I know you can. And look, now we have an extra week. :lol:

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I'll need that extra week! :lol:

hhhmmmm it's not letting me change the title.

Jane - I think Leenie can go in and change the title as moderator... if you PM her she does it pretty quick!

Im in......I havent participated in a challenge in a long time....and I think it may be what I need.

I have a wedding to go to Memorial Day weekend...you would think that would be motivation enough!!

Here goes.....good luck everyone!!

212/199 (2lbs a week should make it, but since I want to get back to onederland, I'll have to walk a extra to get the extra lb off)

Robin :wave:

I would love to join. I want to hit 225. A bit ambitious, but I will work my hardest at it.
so 245/225

I'm losing awfully slow nowadays, but I'll put a number down anyway. Originally my goal was 125 by June 1, but I don't think it's going to happen. So I'm shooting for 130 by the end of May.

Well I'll hop right into this challenge. I have a personal challenge to be under 200 by my birthday, which is the 28th of May.
I just updated this, I posted last night and WI was today so I wanted to make the 214.5 the start of the challenge, because I didn't lose 3 pounds over night :)

Trazzie 214.5/199

Well, I'm in. I have NO CLUE what start weight to put in since I'm back up 3 lbs but I'm hoping that's just from working out (maybe wishful thinking maybe not...) Anyway, I wanna be 167 which will be 10 lbs from the weigh in I had this am.

ok, so I was thinking that we should have a plan in place to make this work.

let's see........

Follow program
Exercise

That's about it. :dizzy:

Define exercise :devil:

:D Some form of movement! :D

I'm in and I'll be a little ambitious to go for 14 lbs!

Also, I'd like to say in my opinion "exercise = at least 20 minutes of continuous movement"
