"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!!

Hi all = I want to join too! I'm a newbie (banded on 3/31) I've created a ticker and lost 2.6 pounds since I first read about it and started. Do I just come back and post my progress or does someone keep track of the group. Thanks!

My goal is 8 pounds.

I'm a little late jumping on the band wagon, but I want to join in! I have been so bad and doing lots of stress eating lately.:thumbdown: Hopefully this challenge will help me get back on the right track.

Good luck all!

Okay, so that's exactly 4 weeks away and I haven't had remarkable results so far, so rather than go overboard, I'm going to be conservative with my goal...but by May 5, I want to be down 6 pounds from where I am now.

I can't seem to get the 2 lbs. I was down for the challenge to stay off... :glare: But it is the week before my you know what, so I'll wait to update until my monthly friend comes and goes--unless I see a drop anyway. I am determined to make this goal. I see everyone is doing well. Keep up the good work. Maybe I'll get to post a loss even with the monthly visitor.
