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!!

Cw: 340.8
Gw: 335.8

Side note: I kind of feel guilty when I win- we are all working hard- I have so much more weight to lose than most of you guys, so it's a bit easier to shed five pounds right now--- that being said- I love these challenges!!! We are all amazing and its great to know you guys are right here with me slurping on lemon beverages!!!

Mountianmama great job!!!!

PS - I made a suggestion in the previous thread that we start next challenges (not this one) based on weight percentages. Let's say 2 %. It would be easy to figure out how many pounds are needed for every challenger. Example for 150 lbs, it's 3 lbs. It would be more of a level playing field. See how competitive I am?

What do you think? Good idea or bad idea?

SW 164.6
GW 159.6

Matisse, My 2 cents, I like the 5lb challenge the way it is, but would probably join a 2% thread as well if someone started it. Can't have too many motivators!

SW 247.5
CW 247 lost that .5 water weight gain
GW 242.5 Gonna Do it in 2 weeks... ( I can tell you that song in 1 note LOL


Matisse... I too like the easy to post 5 lbs off.. but I would try and % off weight loss thread... (its hard to see little % for lbs off when you are a big girl like me ) But I would do it! I like math!!!

down .8

GW:258 woo hoo 250's here I come!

I hate math.. and if we did a % challenge someone else may have to calculate mine LOL
ETA: I can calculate it.. I just hate math but Matisse, if you start a % challenge, I would join.

Sw 340.8
Cw 340.8
Gw 335.8

Didn't budge this morning- but no complaints!

Matisse- I'd be on board for a percentage challenge as well as this one- back before a had a baby and gained my weight back- these five pound chalkenges are one if the main reasons I lost 75 pounds the first time. 2 weight loss challenges ought to make the pounds melt off! Lol

I'm going away until Wednesday- my sister in law is having a baby And we are heading there to be with them. I'm a bit nervous because this is the first time since I started losing successfully that I will be away from my food and my schedule. I aim to make the best choices humanly possible- and have a back seat full of natural, healthy snacks for the way. Told my husband that the only rest stops we are allowed to go to are ones with at least a subway to stop at! Lol
I won't be weighing in until Wednesday morning- but hope to check in with you guys daily!

Good luck!!!!
Ps- looks like only believe will have won this by the time I get back!!! Way to go, lady!

good morning!

Matisse I will totally join if you start one... may have to break out the calculator though lol

mountianmama I'm sure you will do fine, just make the best choices you can! Good luck to your sister in law!

Only Believe great start... but...
