May Day Weight Loss Challenge


Today, I am beginning the May Day Weight Loss Challenge, hosted by tales from the scales. It begins today, and ends September 18. My weight as of right now is 193, I pray that by the end of this challenge, I will be weighing somewhere around 150. My weight goes up and down like a yoyo, at the beginning of last year, I was weighing almost 250. But, when my Momma passed away in April, of course, I began to lose some weight. I am very glad that I am out of the 200's, and I am determined to stay out of them. With Gods help, I know I can do this. Woo hoo, lets get started!!!

I want to join you. I have been having the hardest time getting below 180. I got close last year and then the Holidays came and I put on 10 pounds. That is all gone now and I'm back where I was before. I really want to get under 180.

Hi sweetie,

Congratulations on losing all that weight!! I know how hard it is, BELIEVE ME. I should probably try this challenge, I would still like to lose at least 10 pounds, I am around normal weight now but JUST barely. I will pray that God gives you strength every step of this weight loss journey. Big Hugs..
