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 in with 5 lbs to go. 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!

This is a "never in a million years" one, but I keep losing on these, so I'll keep going.

greenfern: We are close to the same weight. I am also looking forward to the 170's but it seems like it is taking me forever to get there. I've been going up and down since I've been in the low 180's. Hopefully, it will happen this challenge for both of us! And, hopefully, it happens before the end of July.

the last month I was working out a lot and my weight wouldn't budge though I was defiantly gaining muscle but it's been a busy week so I've just been eating clean and now it's coming off. I hope I'm not losing muscle but I'm glad to see the scale move! Good luck!

Up again after a long road trip and the typical food choices that accompany that. I guess most people would not consider cherries and apples to be junky "fast food", but that is where it's at around here.

Oh yeah jschwab fruit is a junk food choice for me too.

No change today. I swam for 2 hours yesterday and my muscles are retaining a lot of fluid. In other words, ouch!
