Would I have to get on a scale?? :p
I think I'd be really depressed finding out how much I've gained this last year! but maybe it would be the opposite effect and make me realize how much I need this...and it would be a motivator......hmmmmm.....
ok....I'm IN!!!!
I will be away from the 'puter until Monday..so I'll weigh myself tomorrow but won't be able to send you my starting weight until Monday...will that be oK? :)
Count me in, again. I'm under even more stress, at work, so I don't know how this will work out. I need to get more serious about this and stop with all the chocolate. It's been slow, but I have lost a little weght since this all started.
I'm in. Hopefully seeing my weight increase will make me want to decrease it (?). Yeah! This will also force me to go to the gym on Fridays, sounds good. :)
OK GLC: You're my "online" hero. PM and tell me how you got that chart in there?! :p
Jes
I've fallen off the wagon on all of the last two challenges I was in. But now that I'm done with school I have no excuse. And, I tried on my summer clothes last week and they were all too small! Extra motivation.
I'll be weighing in tomorrow morning.
Jes - It's pretty easy, but kind of a pain. I made the chart in excel. Then I select the cells I want and copy them into 'paint'. Then I select the area I want in paint and save it as a .jpg. This allows me to upload it to our server (but any photo sharing site would work) so that I can add it here as a photo.
I figured this out once on another board when I wanted to post a fancy training plan I'd put togther. Every time I tried to go from excel to the internet, it got all messed up. Once it's in a 'photo' it doesn't change when I post it. :D
Please count me in. I need some incentive!

First weigh-in- 172.4
Good luck to everyone!
180.4
My goal is 172--that would be my lowest weight in more than three years.
i'm in too. this is perfect timing. i'm headed to my best friend's wedding in st. croix at the end of june and will basically spend the whole week in a bathing suit. :eek: i don't need to lose a ton of weight- i'm recovering from ACL surgery and actually probably just need to replace a bit of recently gained flab with muscle mass- but this will be a good motivator to hit the gym, get fit and track my progress with you all. i'll shoot my starting weight over later today.
I'm a total newbie to these forums, but was hoping maybe I could crash this party? I've been losing and gaining the same 5-10 pounds for over a year now, and really need to start making some solid downward progress. I'm at the low point, thankfully, of that 5-10 pound range I seem to be stuck in, but I really need to break through the bottom of this plateau and lose another 15 pounds or so without letting myself yo-yo back up again.
my weight this morning = 166
Ok, I've got everyone so far...and I'll post an updated chart once I have all the starting weights, so jump on those scales, all!!
My starting weight: 168.2 (Bad eating week reflected on the scale, what a surprise!:p)
168
Starting this am at 170.2
Having trouble getting motivated to break lower. Hopefully this will help!
My goal... 8 to 10 pounds over next 8 weeks.
Here we go!

GLC: Thanks for the info. I'll see if I can figure it out. Sounds easy when you put it that way!
Hi everyone
My weight this morning was 152.4
My goal wt is 135 ( not necessarily in just 8 wks)
hopefully by having a weekly weigh in it will keep me motivated:)
good luck everyone:)
Weight this am: 148.
Hopeful Goal: 140
Realistic goal: consistently under 145 It sounds easy, but it's not.
... and I'm not starting out well. I had a stressful morning, so I'm eating away the afternoon. Sheesh...
I hope I am not too late for this. I have a bad cold since Tue so this is my first time back online. My weight is 150:( Hope this gives me the motivation that I need. :)
Oh yea, my goal would be 140!! Yes, I can do that..
I hate to say this outloud...my starting weight today was 140.
KG - 120.1 on May 2nd, goal 115 lb eventually.
125 Friday Afternoon...My goal is 120. Favorite Food Group: Candy!
176 this morning. Ugh. Goal, 165.
Laura
Begining weight 139.0 lbs. It's TTOM so, next weigh in should be a good one for me. My goal is to be under 135 for this challenge.
Good Luck Everyone!!
Count me in! My weight this morning is 147.
I want to join in the challenge! Let me know if it's not too late, I know my weight. Oh man. Do I know my weight!
OK....I'm gonna suck it up and bite. Nothing else seems to be working, and with the stress that I know is coming (trial!), I'd better have something to keep me accountable.
Starting weight this AM - 229.0. Goal weight - I don't know - I'll see when I get closer.

Depending on where I place my scale, my weight can vary from one to four pounds. This is very frustrating! So, I'll pick a number and report 180 dead-on. :(
Uh, oh
I posted on the wrong thread. I was thinking to myself, "Why isn't anyone posting their starting weight?"
DUH! :rolleyes:
So, for the record, my weight yesterday was 144.8
I am feeling like this time I might just be able to do it.
Lynette
160.6 today(can't believe I'm making this public), 135 goal. I would like to lose at least 10 before the Tahoe ride in June! Thanks for the extra incentive.
Anybody on a plateau? Been eating right, riding your bike, maybe other exercise and yet stuck :( at a certain weight?
TCTREK>.. yep. I've lost 12-13 and plateau'd there. I haven't been SUPER crazy about dieting by any means, but the workouts have been good and consistent. I feel pretty good about being here but would like to move on now! I know it takes your body some adjustment time, but enough already! Guess I have to be more strict with the diet to jump in the right direction. That is my goal for the next couple of weeks and we'll see what happens! :(
TC Trek - I am the queen of the plateau. I have been working out 5 days a week and counting Weight Watchers points, and every freaking ounce is a struggle. I seem to lose in little spurts, and can't make any sense of it. From mid-March to mid-April, I gained 4 weeks in a row despite frequent good workouts and staying within my points, then lost all of it in a single week (a nearly 4-pound loss), then the last two weeks have been negligible losses, 0.6and 0.8. All I can do is to just keep working out and making healthy food choices, focus on non-scale victories like changes in the way my clothes fit or how solid my thighs are getting :D, and hope the scale will catch up sooner or later. Hang in there!
Oh, yes, indeed! I've been on the same plateau for ten years, and I am not exaggerating. It's like some kind of curse. :mad:
195.5 for me on Friday :(
I made much better eating choices over the weekend, but still ate the same quantity....which is my biggest problem!!
That and finding time to cook good stuff....we seem to always be so busy...or it's 'too hot' or 'too late' so we go grab fast food....that has to be my first thing to change!!
TahoeDirtGirl - Of course you can join us! Everyone is welcome!!
I'm updating the chart and will post it shortly. We are still missing initial weigh-ins from ikkin, Stacy and TahoeDirtGirl...so get on it, ladies! (the scale, that is!)
Ok i'm joining, albeit a few days late into the game, but I do know what my weight was on Friday. 151.5 lbs for me.
initial weigh-in will be coming first thing tomorrow AM! sorry for the delay! :oQuote:

I added a column for 'challenge goal' and I posted numbers for those who had shared them. This is not required, but if you want to have your goal for this 8-week challenge listed, post it here and I'll update. (not your ultimate goal)
Good luck, all!! :)
man! i knew i'd miss the cut-off. starting weight 126. goal weight 120. this will be a huge stretch for me.
more concerned about body fat %, actually, but i'll track that on my own.
THANKS!
