Stop to smell the flowers in May and to take the acts of self-care that lead to healthy habits and weight loss.

Join the May Weight Loss Challenge to set your goal, track it, and meet it -- with the help of a supportive and encouraging group. All the goals will be compiled into a list. As each goal is met during the month, it gets turned RED in celebration.

This thread is for weight loss goals. For your exercise goals, check out our sister thread: May Exercise Challenge - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Thank you so much for posting. I"m so much glad to know about your weight loss challenge.

Thanks Joy for starting this thread again

I want in, but I don't know my starting weight yet; three days to go on the April, made that goal and seem to have dropped another. I will know in a day or two. I am down another lb as of this am, but noticed that I was partially dehydrated so not gonna count that yet.

Welcome in Richard

OK, this is now the 30th, last day of April. I got another lb of loss making it 4 lbs for April, goal + 1
My starting weight for May will be 221.4 lbs.
Goal 3 lbs loss for 218.4 lbs.

Thanks Joy. I’m in for May.

Welcome, everyone!

I made my annual doctor's appointment last week for early August. If I can lose 1.5kgs (about 3 pounds) between now and then, I should show a loss of 10 pounds since my last appointment. So, I'm working toward that.

May goal: -0.5 kg

01: 84.45 kgs

Thanks Joy. I'm in for May too.

May goal: -2.4 lbs.
SW: 153.0
GW: 150.6

01: 153.0

Thanks for keeping the group going Joy, I am in again for May. Today I was 149.8. My goal for May is 148. As I get closer to my goal it is definitely slow going!

I met my goal already. Ha! When I set my goal to lose a kilogram, I won't lose a half kilogram in a whole month! I'm going to set a bonus goal because I don't trust myself to maintain this loss all month unless I'm continuing to work on losing.

May goal: -0.5 kg Bonus goal: another -0.5 kg

01: 84.45 kgs
02: 84.35
03: 84.0
04: 83.95

Nice going Joy.

Congrats Joy! This is definitely your time of year. Everyone into gardening is loving this time of year. I even feel like a gardener with my tomato plants.


If I posted yesterday it would say I was down to 148.6 but today it was 149.4. I'm still below my goal! I know how it goes. Day to day you can up and down based on the previous days fiber, carbs, sodium, etc...

Yep, loganandlivsmom -- definitely ups and downs. I have no explanation for my recent scale readings because my food has been pretty consistent. The low reading came after a relaxed day and the high one after a stressful one -- so that might be a factor.
