But if you ever make it down to Bend, you must give it a try - South Beach be damned!
This is an attempt to show the goals we set (exercise and food) and the performance recorded. I pulled from each post items that were not weight pounds specific ... GCL has that. Does this make sense for everyone? I'm open to suggestions.
GCL, I converted my excel worksheet to pdf ... how did you insert your chart to show fully here and not just be an attachment?

Tabby: Thanks for doing that chart. I wasn't sure if we were still going to do this. I'll get my calendar out when I get home and load up my stuff. Great job! Yeah... GLC knows how to do the inserting the photo of the excel sheet.... I couldn't figure it out, either!

Btw, You guys recall I keep mentioning that I'm on a $200 jeans diet bet with my sister to lose 10 lbs by August 1st?? Forgot to update you that my sister called me about 2 wks ago, (we live a 6hr distance from each other) and says, 'Yeahh, you know.. let's just cancel the bet, cause I don't have $200 to lose right now.'
And I let her get away with it! Mostly cause she's such a sore loser, the win would be more hassle than it's worth. And the funny thing is she's the one who's needing to motivate to fit into a particular wrap dress for an august wedding. Ohh welll, the important thing is that I remain focused for my own goal , which is why i'm so delighted for GLC1968's W.L.C. for J/A! Thanks GLC1968:D
Wow, this is a busy challenge!!! I'm just back from vacation, sorry I didn't get a chance to post my weight before I left, but my starting weight on 7/4 was 163 (actually down 1 pound since the last week of the last challenge!!!!) No scale on vacation, so this Friday we shall see what I did to myself on vacation . . .
Oh man, extra-vert - don't thank me! You did the work...I just made a chart! ;)
Speaking of which, Tabby - to get the chart to appear, I copy the cells I want (from Excel) into Paint and then I save it as a .jpg. Then I up load the .jpg to a photo server I use and post it like any other picture.
And Flybye, if you see this, I'm about to update you. :)
Day one of SBD is "done and dusted" (as a friend of mine is often saying). It went quite well and I'm feeling less bloaty already! Last night we hit the grocery store, so I'm even more prepped for the rest of the week.
I am going to be out of town starting tomorrow--Sunday so I won't be able to post my weight. My current weight is 150 which is up:( No matter how much I exercise and workout I can't seem to lose any weight. I wish it was all muscle mass, but it is not and my measurements have gone up. So discouraging.. The good thing is DH, some friends and I are going on a 5 day backpacking trip. I am looking so forward to getting away...YEAH:D
I'm just popping in to see how everyone is doing.
I've dropped out of the last 3 challenges! I was getting so frustrated with the numbers on the scale. I finally decided to ignore the numbers for once and to concentrate on eating healthy, balanced meals every day.
I was never able to meet my weightloss goals no matter what I did. Now I'm happy because I'm able to meet my healthy eating goals and am finally finding some success. I'm sure the weight will eventually follow, but for now, this is enough.
I just wanted to wish everyone luck on the July/August weight loss challenge!
Limewave, I love your new avatar :D
I have been frustrated also, that's why I decided to do the challenge this time. I don't know if I'll succeed but I do know that I am eating far healthier food than I was before. It was motivation to actually cook things instead of buying low fat frozen things.
We will see. I do know that I wore a pair of jeans yesterday that I haven't been able to wear for a year!
Limewave, the new avatar is great!
Teigyr - how is SB going for you? Are you following it or just using some recipes?
I have been following it, but I'm moving out of Phase 1 tomorrow. After only 4 days, I feel ok for normal day to day stuff, but I'm noticing that I'm weak. Climbing the one hill on my ride tires my legs out and lifting heavy boxes as I'm packing is really more difficult than it should be. I'm going to need my strength for our moving day on Saturday and for more riding next week. I'm still sticking with it though - just adding back in the whole grains and fruits (thank goodness!!) as I move into Phase 2. I do feel much better for having broken out of the crappy carby cycle I was in!
I hope tomorrow's weigh-in shows some improvement!
GLC1968, I'm just doing the recipes. I'm training for a sprint tri in August, a 10K in Sept, and a marathon in Oct. I also ran a half marathon in May. I've heard about the perils of dieting and exercise and since my priorities are: finish each event to the best of my ability, eat more nutritious food, and weight loss (in that order), I'm putting performance ahead of weight loss. You'd THINK I'd be burning enough calories to drop weight like crazy but life is rude that way.
I've only been eating SB food for a week but I like it. I am trying to drink more water, eat fresh food, and use whole grains whenever possible. I am seeing positive effects from it and my clothes are looser!
I applaud you doing phase 1 though. I might try it once I'm through with the training I'm doing. I bet you that you will see a HUGE drop in weight :D
jobob, you know what was ruder than reading about that beer? Thinking "hmmm...a day trip to RDM might be fun" then mapquesting the brewery from the airport. I then thought "gee, Bend HAS to have a bus system!" Cause renting a car to go drink would just be silly.
Yeah, that was rude. I had my heart set on it too.
Whoo!! Nice job!Quote:

Friday morning and I've put on 4 pounds , now 161 :mad::mad::mad:
I'm hoping that it's fat turning to muscle which is heavier...:rolleyes:
hmmmmmmmm......... off to burn off some more calories on my bike ;)
Sigh. Back up to 180. Oh well. At least I got through the holidays and a series of parties without putting more than that back on. Now I just have to turn things around again.
Up a pound here too. At 205.4 this morning. I blame it on a sore ankle that kept me from riding a few days and the birthday celebration and end of term celebrations. Back on track now I think. Giving my ankle another couple of days, but yesterday I at least got out for an hour walk so I wasn't completely lazy. And I've started knitting lots again. Knitting for weight-loss...wonder if I can sell it as the new fad...but I do end up snacking less when I'm busy with the knitting which is good. And I've got lots of knitting to do. Planning on getting a stand at the christmas craft fair in the village to raise money towards my ALC fundraising goal. So far I have 2/3 pair of mittens ready.....
