Rowenna, sorry about the misspelling and thanks for pointing it out!

Bella, Mikayla, Getlost, and Staccie, welcome!!

Wahoo! I love you for starting this early!

Goal for May lose 10lbs.
(This is double the amount I normally set for 30 days. But since I'm going back on the beach with FSA it should be achievable.)
2nd goal- exercise 800 minutes
3rd goal-drink 64ozs of water a day (this is SOOOO hard)


Yay Chicks!

My goal is to lose 10lbs in May and be able to wear my goal capris.. sitting in my closet collecting dust. I haven't worn them in 7 years! They are tight right now. I think 10 more pounds will do the trick.
Exercising and eating right... the only things that work. I'll weigh in on friday with my official starting weight... Good luck everyone! I love a challenge! =)

Lene and Neesy, I have added you to the list above! Welcome Neesy!

Okay Chicks, usually FSA starts the monthly exercise goals thread, but last month Ms_P was nice enough to get it started, and this month our newcomer Bella has started it! Thank you Bella! To keep this May Weight Loss Goals list from becoming too long and hard to follow, I'm going to divide it, putting the exercise goals on the sister thread (May Exercise Challenge) and keeping the weight loss (and other goals) here. So the May exercise goals have been moved to the May exercise thread, so post your daily exercise (if you choose to) there please. Thanks!! And good luck!!! We can do it!!

So, here's who we have so far for the WEIGHT LOSS list:

Breawna's goal (daughter):

Lose 10 lbs
Exercise for an hour every day

Jodi's goal (mom):

Lose 8 lbs
get my butt out of this chair

we have an intro blog with pictures at 3fatchicks. com /diet-blogs/ supachix (remove the spaces)

I'm in again I enjoyed the April Challenge (even though I didn't quite make my goal)

This month I plan to lose 10 + pounds and I also plan to exercise regularly.

Do we report a starting weight tomorrow morning?

Can you add me too please?!?

I want to lose 8lbs this month! I lost 1 pound in the month of April...not so good! Time to get movin'!!

I'm up for it, add me please!

My Goals:

Lose 8-10 lbs and get into the 170s.
Stay within my calorie limit and no sugar!

Let's do it!!

Superchix Breawna and Jodi , and Econ, I have added you to the list above!

Welcome Breawna and Jodi! I have added your weight loss goals here and your exercise goals on the sister thread, May Exercise Challenge. Good luck!

Econ, I'm going to post my starting weight tomorrow. I think it's optional though.

Wifey and StarryNights, I have added you to the above list! Good luck!

Welcome Starry!

Hey, Hey! I'm in for sure. I'm setting modest goals, but if things go really well, I can always reset them. I'm still in a state of craziness with no computer at home and all. Anyway, to the point...
My May goals:
1. 165 pounds
2. More fruits and veggies!! (5/day)

Best of luck to all! I hope to go do some packing at our house we're selling and bring my computer back with me by mid month so I can feel normal again. I feel great health-wise, but didn't reach my April goals and I think the move had a LOT to do with it. I can't wait 'til our house is built and we don't feel like we're living out of boxes...but that's a long time from now. For now I just remind myself there are NO EXCUSES! I can take charge of what I eat and what I do for exercise (within reason). It's up to me. I'm ready to make May a beautiful transition to summer. I already feel like a million bucks wearing my size 14 shorts and jeans...I never even imagined it, but I could be in 12's by mid-summer!!! That would ROCK!

Ms_P, I've added you to the list! Good luck! You did a great job in April and I know you will this time too!! Size 12s by summer!--That's exciting!!
