Thanks GLC for taking this on!! Not an easy task I'm sure!!!
My Goal for the 8 wk challance will be 187 that'll give me 1 lb a week to shoot for so there should be no excuse NOT to at LEAST make my goal!! :)
although...I doubt my day of eating nothing but NACHO's Yesterday isn't helping!!! (my son is in Little League...and the ultimate Nacho's are hard to resist)
This is great. Thanks for making the chart. To be honest, I never tell anyone my weight, and it is good to see other women in the same boat------let's do this, girls!!!:)
I'll get us started today. Weight this morning was 185.0, I seem to be off to a good start. Now the question is, can I keep it that way.

I'm not off to such a good start....209 this morning. But I'm ending the week much better than I started so that should be promising for next week....
UGH - 146.8
A gain of 2 pounds in one week.
So, listen to this sob story...
I am menopausal - haven't had a period in almost 2 years. On Monday, I start feeling lousy - bloated, really sluggish, heavy, my fingers start swelling - on Tuesday morning, I wake up and I am bleeding.
What's up with that? :eek:
I don't even have any pads in the house - I had to rummage through my teenage daughter's bathroom to find something.
So I have been bleeding all week - a dirty, red-brown gross colored blood. Not a lot of it - just enough to be really annoying.
And I weigh 146.8!
Just shoot me now...
Don't you just love hormones?

P.S. Oh - and you can put me down for a "challenge goal" weight of 140.
Can I join? I've been working hard to drop from my post-holiday high.
192.4 lbs this morning.
Maybe you guys can kick my butt into dropping another 12 lbs.
My overall goal is 180, but I don't know if I can do that in 7 week. So short term goal would be 185.
I'd like to join too. I've had a very bad health time since late January. Now that my asthma is under control, and the cardiologist gave me the OK to work out (long story I won't bore you all with), I need to get myself in gear as naturally I gained weight over these last few months! Starting weight is 185 and I'd like to try and lose 8 lbs by the end of June. Hopefully more, but I'm trying to not set a goal that ends up depressing me, you know?
I'm still at 195.5 this morning..... I'm not too bummed tho....I did GREAT in the beginning of the week..but then had an anniversary dinner at a Italian restaurant.....AND ordered desert.....so the last 2 days' I haven't done so well.....so I guess better than gaining! :)
Here's hoping for a better week!!!
181.
Not happy, but okay with it. I ate out every day this week. And I really, truly enjoyed my buttered chicken and nan :-) . . . back to the grind!
I'm having 25 people over for Mother's Day, I'm scanning 101cookbooks.com for some healthy recipes that would be good at a cookout and be yummy enough to keep me away from the bbq and potato salads.
163.5.
Down roughly 2.5 pounds this week! (my scale only measures to the half pound, not tenths, which is annoying) I was careful with my food intake and managed 5 good workouts, so I am pleased. :)
Oh, and my goal for this challenge is to get to 155.
124 today. pretty sure it's "i'm no longer retaining water this month" weight... :rolleyes:
150 lbs this morning! Yay. Hopefully I can keep this up :)
Hey guys!
I'm at 168.2...exactly the same as last week. I'm actually pretty pleased with that since I've been eating like there's no tomorrow!! Thankfully, there's been enough biking in there to keep the damage down. ;)
Welcome to all the new people to join our group! I've added you all to the chart and as soon as most people have posted their weigh-in, I'll post an updated chart.
Came back to add: There are now 27 of us! Woohoo!! :D
Oh yeah, my goal for this challenge is to weigh 145 lbs.
Hi, new to this forum and saw this weight loss challenge. I need some motivation. Can I join in? If so, my starting weight as of today, after breakfast is....154...ugghhh :eek:
Oops, looks like I missed the initial weigh-in, but is it possible to still get in?
I'm trying to figure out how increasing my mileage made me put on 6 pounds, and it's NOT muscle for sure. Oh wait, yes, that whole "I've earned beer" mindset. :mad:
-- gnat! (137.0)
I just registered and found this thread. I'm already doing a one week weigh in, so I have last week's weight and this week's. Not that it matters since it hasn't changed even an ounce. :( I'm at 181.5. My goal is 170.

I'm still at 229. With 2 16 hour days at work, I'm happy with it. My goal is to maintain until after trial, and then work on losing:)

And more to boot!! wooo who go girls!!!! :)Quote:

This is sooooo True.....
No change for me this week but I did get in to a better eating routine. It's TTOM so I'm not surprised by no loss. Hopefully the following week. Weight still at 140 with goal weight at 130.
171.6 Goal for this challenge- to get to 165
No change from last week. Am having some stress, which probably means I should quit this challenge, but will try to hang in here. My hubby was in a car accident and has been in the hospital. You know I'm stressed when I start liking hospital cafeteria food. :eek:
In at 170.2... I SWEAR two days ago I was 168 something! Oh well... easy come easy go!
Put me on the chart please! Just got my new WSD Madone last weekend and I've been riding like crazy and am very dedicated to my girl (her name is May) and loosing some pounds too.
148 yesterday. That's down 2. But 3 days ago I was 146. I wish I would get my period already. When I'm PMSing any little bit of salt in my diet throws my weight around.
I'm 171 lbs. right now. Want to get down to 150... soon!!!
5/9 weight 160.5 (-.1) yipee!
Completely forgot to weigh in yesterday- I work early friday so it was just not on my mind- ( I was mainly thinking of dragging myself out of bed to be at work by 6.30 am!)
So today I weighed 150.2, that is just over 2lbs weight loss- I am happy with that given that we had to eat out almost every night last week - travelling etc.
( It was worth it to meet CC and her DH though:)
I did my first organized ride yesterday and was so excited/nervous on Friday I totally forgot to weigh in. :o
Not that it made any difference -- same weight 147. But I did ride 45 miles yesterday and that's a new record for me!
Is Friday weigh-in day? If so, I was 119.2. Thanks.
Kjay: Hope your hubby is ok! It's more important than ever that you take care of yourself in these situations. Make sure you eat some fruit and vegetables even if they are from the hospital cafeteria -- they will help you to keep the stress down!Quote:

{{{KJAY}}}} Hang in there. My thoughts are with you. Hospitals are not fun, and you are stressed if you are liking the hospital food. Hope your dh is doing better.
kjay - I hope your husband is ok! Sending healing vibes your way...
Week 1 Results:
http://www.tranquilitysystems.com/ga...1_original.jpg
There are more than 30 of us!! :eek:
And since I know that a lot of people tend to come and go...lets say that if you miss 3 weeks of weigh-ins in a row, I'll 'hide' your name on this chart to keep it from getting unweildy. Of course, anyone is always welcome to come back at any time! This is about support for one and all!!
There were some great drops this week and many of us (myself included) who maintained. Here's to a strong performance for week 2 for all of us!!
sorry this is a little late, my sister and her family are in town so I have not been on the computer for a while. My weight is down 1 to 149.
oops--had a race and company for the weekend that just left--forgot to weigh in, but hadn't changed since last week when I finally stepped on the scale this morning. I will try harder this week, with less distractions!
Laura
I'm down 2 to 183. Now if I can just let that motivate me to get moving even more this week. :)
Hey thanks for letting me in!
My start was 197.
My week weigh in on May 9th was 194.5.
I'm trying something totally different for me, counting Weight Watcher points. Anyone else doing this? I just got someone to get me the calculator, log and the books. I don't know how to do the points back for exercise, I just take 1/3rd of what I burned off and eat that back. Seems to work.
My 8 week goal is 2 lbs a week so it should be 181.
I expect the scale not to move this week because Aunt Flo (TTOM) is showing up. Sigh.
Hope everyone is kickin it. Thanks for lettin me in! Karin
I've been eating like a pig this week and only managed one 3 mile run...i'm already afraid to step on the scale on Friday!
