Default 5 lb Challenge #268

This is a challenge to lose 5lbs at a time, hence the name "5 Pounds Challenge."

Anyone can join at anytime. Just add your name at the bottom of the list. Update your weight as often as you like and move yourself up in the ranks accordingly. When someone loses 5lbs we will start a new thread and begin again. *There can be more than 1 winner in the same day*

GOOD LUCK!


Rank.....Name............Start..........Goal.........Current.......lbs. to go

1........Joel............251.2..........246.2.........251.2...........5. 0

Joining in! My weigh day is Monday. So I just weighed in and will have a fabulous time losing 5 pounds!!

Possibly, I don't understand what "rank" is. I put myself in as number 2 because Joel was number 1. Was that wrong and please correct me!!
Thanks,

Mackita, I fixed your rank. Everyone is #1 until someone starts losing and people can share rank if they've lost the same amount.

Thanks, Jschwab. I am still relatively new and this is my first challenge! I'm very eager to see how we all do with it!

Alright, I noticed I screwed up on my goal weight. I entered my overall goal instead of my 5 pound goal. Sorry guys. Let me try this again. I changed it above. Hope someone knows how to make it real in the next post!

Yay for water loss! We are all very happy for the initial loss, even if it is 75% water. That water looked terrible on us so it's a win when it's a loss!!

Congratulations Joel and thanks for starting the new round.
Welcome Mackita and Happy.
One good thing about being at my high weight for the couple of weeks, at least I am starting here at a higher weight. Let's hope I can relose those 2 pounds soon.

I think I'll be putting on water weight. Just started swimming again - 40 minutes in the pool with the kids' swim team. They do 2 hours! I'll work up to that...
