5 Pound Challenge #228
 

Everyone is welcome to join!

Here's how it works:

Post your starting weight (sw) and your goal weight (gw).
Come back anytime to update with your current weight (cw).
The first person to reach their 5 pound goal is the winner!
That person then starts a new thread for the next 5 pound challenge!

Have fun and good luck!!

Then again, it seems like since I've been nursing, NOTHING, no matter how many calories I may or may not eat wants to budge. Here goes.... cross your fingers for me. I don't care if I win this challenge, I would just like to come close!

SW = 152.3 lbs
GW = 147.3 lbs (66.8 kg)

Well done MountainMama! :)

I am happy to be within 0.2 of my pre-op weight this morning. Hopefully I'll be able to get below it this week :) I never expect to win one of these, my weight-loss is snail-pace, but I generally lose about 2-3lb each time, so it keeps me going!

Up today- not sure why--- but go back down tomorrow, dang it!

Hi all! I've been away from this site for a while but need to start some challenges again. I'm weeks away from a complete year since my daughter was born. Before I was pregnant I was 208lbs working on getting to my goal of 160 (was up to 250). The day I gave birth I was 270 lbs. I was down to 220 but weighed myself today and was up to 226! So I join you all to get myself back on the road to my goal weight!

Home today with a sick little boy- heading to the doctor in a bit--- also hope to get some very late spring cleaning done! Lol

Did pilates for the first time in a LOOONG time today. I did a 10 minute workout in the morning & again just now. OMG I can feel it in my tummy! But I like pilates & wonder (for the millionth time) why I stop doing it... ugh!

Going the wrong direction here. Between the Thai lunch and homemade pizzelles yesterday, I think I can account for that.

Just got done doing my second 10 minute set of pilates today. I had way too much dessert after dinner. We had people over and they brought cookies & well, I love cookies! I just have to make sure I make good choices for my meals tomorrow... although we are going to a food truck rally for dinner... maybe I need to do some zumba along with my pilates!

I might as well jump in even though it looks like someone will win long before I come close, hopefully I remember about joining later lol

I'm pretty new here and i saw this and thought id check it out maybe save it to do later on when I need a push...but I'm going to just jump on in now...

I need a push to get going...and I hope seeing everybody's progress will inspire...

My name is Hope by the way...also can someone explain exactly how it works..I know "5 pound challenge" should speak for itself...I just need details...its the kind of girl I am

Hey hopesfull I just joined for the first time but from what I understand everyone puts down their current weight whenever they join the challenge and the weight that is -5lbs from current. The first person to reach that 5lb goal starts a new thread of this challenge and everything starts over. So everyone participating now puts down the current weight that day and -5lbs again.

So for example, if I met my -5lb goal weight today i would start a new thread titled "5 Pound Challenge #229) and as people saw that a new one began they would move to that thread (abandoning this one), put their current weight down (new or the same) and start again.

Hope that helps!
