"Shrinko De Mayo" Weight Loss Challenge

Hello everyone,

I decided to start a new weight loss challenge for May 5th since the current "April Fools" weight loss challenge is less than 2 weeks away (seriously, where did March go? Anyone? :tt2:)

Please post here what weight loss you would like to achieve by May 5, 2009 (approx. 6 weeks from the date of this post). On average, Bandsters lose 1-2 lbs per week, but base your goal personally.

I love being motivated, so let's start the Summer off with a bang and a heckuva lot less fat!!

I would like to lose 12 lbs. Not banded yet but I will be end of May!

Count me in! I just want to be out of the 190s and into the 180s by Shrinko de Mayo! I'd like to lose 10 lbs by then, though I'll be happy as long as I lose at least 7!

Count me in too!!!!! I'd like to lose 35lbs by Cinco de Mayo. I am so recently banded I'm losing pretty fast and I hope that continues. By that time I should have had my first fill and I will be able to restart my normal workouts. I am currently just walking on the treadmill for 45 min 3-4 times a week.

YAY I'm excited to have a smaller goal to look forward to!

Wow, this is a great idea. by May, 5 I would like to have dropped 15 pounds. I was just banded on the 19th of March and lost about 10 pounds already. So an extra 18 pounds would feel really good!!!! I am so excited:biggrin:

COUNT ME IN :crying: current 236 want to lose 16 put me at 220! (wow 16 is a lot) almost 2 months banded!! haven't been losing much but I'm determined!!!!

Anybody else wanna join? I'm also thinking of submitting our group into the "Biggest Loser-pound for pound challenge". For every pound you lose, they will donate 10cents to food bank centers of America (which equals 1lb of food). Anyone interested?

Great! Count me in I would like to lose 12lbs
