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!!

New low today. Down 4 more pounds from last post. This equals 10 lbs gone. 2 more to go for the challenge!!

First fill yesterday, interesting, will have to see if I have some restriction when I start on solids.

I haven't lost any more weight this week - stayed at 280 for the past 4 days I've been on my period...is this normal not to lose? Oh well, maybe more next week!!!!!

YES, this is totally normal! Don't worry, it will come off! My scale hasn't moved for a week either and prior to my last weight loss, I was stalled for almost 3 weeks!! Hang in there, it will come!

I am down 2 more...slowly but surely. I have now lost a total of 6...guess I should have made my goal 10, I could have made that!

I finally have a little restriction...I got 3.5cc's in a 9cc band.

Ok so after being stuck for what seemed like forever :w00t:, 2 weeks actually I am finally down 1 more lb not a huge change but at least its in the right direction.

Down 3 this week! only 2 more to go to goal!! - I only started this challange this week

Down 3 pounds this week, finally in the teens (217) can't wait to see onederland!!!

Since I know I'm going to be slammed this week with work, I wanted to update a day early. I am SO EXCITED reading all the weight lost- you all truly inspire me!! I've been stuck at my weight now for going on 2 weeks; but I started working out and actually gained 3lbs :laugh: so being back down to where I was is good enough for me! We still have about a week left, so no matter if you met your goal or not, we have ALL achieved amazing results!! This challenge was to keep you motivated not make you if you didn't meet your goal. Great job all, I hope I got everyone caught up!!

I went to update my ticker and realized that I MET GOAL today! I am so excited. Thanks for the challenge! Can't wait to see where I am at the end!

I have lost a total of 11 lbs. I am only 4 lbs away from my goal of 15 lbs. by May 5th. I am excited to make this much progress toward a goal.

Thanks for starting this challenge. I hope someone starts another one ... for July 4th!!!

Ok, this is my first post, just joined tonight...I would love to take the challenge and lose 3 lbs by May 5th. I was was banded in Jan..first lost 43 lbs...after second fill have gained about 5 lbs. back...don't know why...think I'm too tight...but- that's another story. I'm ready for the challenge..3 lbs would be good after gaining.

4 more lbs gone! that 10.5! only 4.5 til my goal in 8 days. even if I do not reach my goal I have lost 30lbs so far just 6 weeks out from surgery!!!

Lost two more lbs over the weekend!!! I am so happy I made my goal wt loss (probably the first wt loss goal I have totally achieved.) Thanks for setting up this challenge, it really motivated me.

i'm at 190--- only one pound away from my shrinko de mayo goal! i have a feeling i may be passing my goalll......
