"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!!

Happy Monday Shrinkos!!

I first want to congratulate EVERYONE who has lost any weight whatsoever~EXCELLENT WORK!! It takes hard work to lose weight, and it doesn't matter if it's one pound or one hundred pounds. It takes the same effort and determination and EVERYONE needs to remember that and be proud of your accomplishments..no matter how small or big.

That said, I've updated the list as of 4/20/09 and we STILL have over 2 weeks to go! That is a lot of time to take off another pound or two so DON'T GIVE UP!!! YOU ARE WORTH IT!! Congrats again to everyone, I'm honored to be a part of this challenge. And whether you reach your goal or not, that doesn't matter ONE BIT!! The fact that you're here, and trying MEANS MORE THAN ANYTHING!! Great Job Everyone!!

I can't remember what date I posted my goal, and don't see it when I click through...I think I'm only down about 4 since April 6, and maybe another 5 since mid march, so maybe 9 total toward the 15 pound goal. I get another fill Thursday, so hope it gets me moving again.

Hey colorado - sorry I'm late in updating, but my weigh-in was Friday. I'm now down 7.6 towards my 13.6 pound goal...which will put me at 225, my next milestone....yay! Thanks for doing this and keeping us on track!

OMG I DID IT!!!! I got weighed in at weight watchers tonight and I am down 13.2 lbs (goal of 13 lbs) and still have a couple weeks to go. I am going to keep going and see how far I can get in the next couple weeks. Good luck all!!

When I signed up for the challenge it was mid-April already. Maybe I should have made my goal 7 lbs instead of 10. Whatever, it doesn't matter either way...cuz i've lost 3 lbs so far and I can feel there's more to come this month.

I have a fill on May 1st and want to lose 2 more by then. We'll see

Keep up all the hard work everyone.

I am so...excited that I have lost 10.5 lbs. for this challenge. I am less than 4 lbs. away from my 15 lbs Cinco de Mayo goal!!!!

The scale finally moved!!!! Im down 2 more pounds. Im excited and super motivated. 12lbs lost 7 to before MAY1. I know I can do it!!!

We are looking good, I will know what my weight is tomorrow will update you by friday.

well i was hoping to lose 10 lbs in the challenge...i am only down three. i have been stuck at a plateau for the past 2-3 weeks!!!!!!!!

i did get a fill yesterday so hopefuully that will kick me back into gear and i can get closer to my goal.

3 down....7 to go!!!!!
