**May Weight Loss Challenge**Sign Ups Always Welcome

Welcome to the **May** Challenge!

 If you’ve participated before, welcome back for another month!  To all those who have not done this challenge (or any other) welcome aboard newbies!

The challenge is pretty easy & does NOT require a long term commitment.  You pick a goal weight, and post your progress each week.  You are NOT in competition with the other challengers—in fact, you are encouraged to cheer each other on.  This is about having a reason to stay motivated throughout the month’s weight loss journey and having a place to post your progress to help you stay on track--some "extra" accountability for your actions because you know you aren't the only one who will "see" the results.

We'll have 5 weekly weigh in's in May.  Our May 3, 2009 weigh in will serve as a base-line and our final weigh will be May 31, 2009.  SO, monthly weigh in dates are May 3, May 10, May 17, May 24 and May 31, 2009.

I realize weigh in days are on a Sunday.  This is deliberate--for those who don’t like to weigh in on the weekend--look at it this way--extra motivation to stay on track over those “days off!”   I will post results on Monday—I will NOT email you to remind you to post.

So!
Sign up--fill out the form below and post it EVERY Sunday with your new weights.

AKgrl, what is your new game plan? Care to share? What tips do you have for the changes.

Count me in AK, I had a great month in April and hopefully I'll have a good month again

My new plan for this month is to step up my workout plan and make sure I COMMIT to 3-4 workouts a week. I really slacked off last month but kept my calories down. I'd like a little more flexibility with my eating this month.
