Congratulations to everyone who participated in the last Challenge.

nawchem was our winner, so we begin again!

This is a challenge to lose 5 pounds at a time,
hence the name "5 Pounds Challenge."
Anyone can join at anytime.

You use the start-weight from the day when you join this challenge
You always start at 5.0 lbs to go
Update your weight as often as you like
Move yourself up in the ranks accordingly.
When someone loses 5 lbs we will start a new thread and begin again.
There can be more than one winner! Good Luck!

Let the game begin.

And here we are again!

Let's all be Losers!

Good morning all 😁
I'm usually not doing enough water or eating on weekends so I'm not surprised I'm up a bit this morning but I'm back home and back on my regular ways today. Good luck everyone!

I stayed the same today.

GG ScotiaGirl!

I started last month and had gotten down to around 181, then let my emotions get the better of me for over a week. Gained back some of the 7 1/2 lbs I lost.
I was pleased that I kept off some of it, started back at 185.6...and then started this challenge at 184.4. The initial lb or two will be water...but then it will be working to get it off....I am so hopeful that I will get into the 170's in the next week, week and a half.
Thanks for the encouragement....we all know how important that is this time of year!!!!

Hi Everyone. I'm back in the Challenge. I had to pause, due to what I feared was a weight loss stall. It took a couple of days and a few adjustments to stay in the right mindset. Today, the scale has started to move again. No going back this time!

Well, I have stayed the same for the past 3 days so I may be in a stall. But I shall persevere. Onward and downward!
