This is a challenge to lose 5 lbs at a time, hence the name "5 LB 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!

That will take me down to my first target - though I have some challenging weeks ahead. Drinks and snacks at Graduation ceremony followed by celebratory Italian meal tomorrow; long weekend staying with my sister (not a low carb fan) then another training week in Wales (low carb not allowed). Would still like to lose those 5 lbs by the end of August.

Good luck everyone

I love these challenges. I've lost about 8 pounds with them - took me two or three challenges to do so, but hey! Good luck to everyone!

me too..though i never win, it sort of helps me to focus..

That is super exciting Nonnie!!



I am right there with you zeph...I hit 149 a few weeks ago for a day I think and can't seem to get back to save my life. And come to think of it, that is what I did last year at this same time. But ya know, i tried to quit smoking dozens of times, and then a couple of years ago, it stuck! So if we just keep trying, one day it is probably going to stick!



That is great progress J, in a short time...congrats on the good work! And I totally agree with you and Bidisha...even when I am not losing, coming here keeps me from veering too far off course. Plus it is so fun seeing others be successful and sharing their joy.

I'm back to play. Good luck everyone!
