"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!!

Another Week Another Update!! Everyone is doing just FANTASTIC!!! I am so proud of all of you and feel the dedication beaming through this thread! I've updated the list below as of 4/13/09. We've lost a combined total of 79.3 lbs..!!!!! WOW!!

I personally have been "stuck" on the scale for almost 2 weeks, but am optimistic that I will be losing more soon (fingers crossed). I have 9 lbs to go and about 3 weeks to get there, I can do it. Keep up the good work and positive attitudes Shrinko's!! :smile:

Hi...wanted to update you...I'm down another 3 for a total of 5.6 pounds. just under 8 to go, so I'm going to have to kick it up...I'm thrilled with 30 lbs since my March 31 banding, though!!!!!

I'm down another .5 pound--total of 2.5 down (yep--counting every portion of a pound). 12.5 to go....
