Does anyone have any ideas for the next weight loss challenge? Perhaps a "May Day" challenge?

I have found these little goals to be so motivational. They really have helped me to keep my ass in gear!

I definitely want to participate in this one. The first day of summer is June 21st, right? So maybe do a 1st of may challenge (may day as you called it) and the following one can be a start of summer challenge?

I love the idea of a May Day or maybe Cinco De Mayo weightloss challege. The Spring Challenge ends tomorrow, and I'm ready for a new one. :thumbup: Trixie will you make seperate post just for the new challenge????

Thanks!!!!

How long do we want it to last. We could do an Aprils Fools Day to Memorial day challenge. That's about eight weeks. I'm open to anything!

I'll weigh in tomorrow for Spring Challenge end. I had first set my goal at 184 and I'll make that, but I changed it mid stream to 182, won't make that one.

Thankfully fill is tomorrow! My personal goal to stay on track for the "fit into a nice mother of the groom dress" is 181 by end of March. Hope this fills works!

I kind of like short-term challenges. Is everyone down with "May Day" (that would keep with the tradition of Thursday weigh-ins)? Otherwise, "Cinco de Mayo" is cool...it's a snazzier name. Just tell me what to start and I'll do it! :thumbup:

Trixie,

I don't care which one we use, May Day or Cinco De Mayo. My weigh in day is Wednesday, but it's no big deal one way or other. I can post my post my results any day. Thanks for doing this. :thumbup:

Hello,

How do the challanges work? I was banded 11/26 and have only lost about 15 lbs so far. I finally have the right amount of restriction and I am ready to kick it into gear. Please let me know what I need to do to participate in the challange.

Thanks!

Hey Peeps!

What about Spring into Summer Weightloss Challenge to get us ready for summer and make Memorial Day our end date. I know that I have a goal to lose 100lbs my Memorial Day..

What do you all think?

Cindy

I like either idea. Memorial day or beginning of May.

Maybe do a Cinco De Mayo Challenge (May 5th?) and then a Spring Into Summer Challenge (June 21st)?

I like that idea Lizzie! I have begun a new thread for the Cinco de Mayo challenge. Hope to see you there!

Hi Peaches! Yes, join our challenge and our November banders group. I was banded the day after you!

We set a goal weight loss for the time period. Example, it's a five week period and you decide you'd like to lose 8 pounds in that five weeks, so you set your goal weight 8 pounds less than you weigh at sign in. We post on a new thread ( labeled May 1st or Cinqo de Mayo week 1) and list our weight lost each week. Sometimes we fall short and sometimes we exceed our goal, either way it's just to support each other and to stay focused.

Look under the November 2007 support group for the new thread each week.

We;ll be watching for you to join us.
