Count me in for the challenge too, please! I didn't loose as much as I had hoped last time around, but any loss is better than none and I hope to do better this time around. Starting weight at 215.4, and I'm aiming to get below 210 if at all possible this challenge...
Sadie reporting ...152...still. Guess that bag of candy corn wasn't the best choice
I just noticed I had the dates wrong on the chart. Apologies to any that noticed. :)
Hi Possegal, thank you for keeping the spreadsheet!
I weighed 156lbs on Friday. My goal is again 149lbs.

I am just back from vacation and am up to 164. This summer has not been good for my dieting. My goal is 155 in 8 weeks!
Hi, I'm new here. Lurked for a little while. I'll post an official introduction later. I'm just excited to join this 8 week challenge. I need to commit to something or I'll never really work at it. I'm at 136 and my goal is 127 in 8 weeks. I've been riding for a few months and gained 2 lbs, ugh! I also am on week 5 of the couch to 5k program. Riding muscles are not very helpful for running. I can ride for 30 miles fairly easily now, but I can't run a mile yet. I'm close! I know I can do this, I just need to eat less. That's the really hard part for me.
Thanks for adding me,
Jen
Welcome! New folks are always welcome to join in.

I just noticed that I never posted my new starting weight. Almost 4 weeks off most exercise isn't not conducive to weight loss! 170.0 to start. Goal is still 158. :)
152 baby! :D
182.0- exactly the same- better than gaining, I guess.
126
4 weeks of prednisone and various prednisone related infections puts me at 143 lbs. Da*n!
Very stressfull and long days at work which prevented exercise...153
130.6.... Happily moving in the right direction... but at a snail's pace sometimes. I'm on Weight Watchers but I don't know how much to eat anymore now, because I'm getting so much more exercise now than I've had for years.
Good luck to everyone in the upcoming week.

148.4 today... BOO!!! I probably shouldn't have started this weight loss challenge right before my monthly cycle since I usually gain 1-2 lbs the week before. Maybe that'll mean I'll lose more next week????
Grrr. Stomping off to find some carrot sticks.
198.8
Looks like I'm up just a touch. Time to lay down the gauntlet! (After my camping trip this weekend)
246.2
and I am pufffffy. I think at least five of that is water weight. I stopped taking the blood pressure meds about a week ago, and they have diuretic properties. I think my body will need to readjust.
Yesterday morning I looked like I'd been stung by bees all over my face, I was so puffy.
Yikes.

129.
On Monday morning, after my loooooong 187 mile ride in the heat on Saturday, the scale read 135. :eek: I *knew* it was water-retention (I was 129 on Satuday morning before the ride started), but nonetheless I mentally hate to see the scale say such a thing! But, as expected, I'm back to normal now that several days have gone by. Funny how we let things like that mess with our heads.
Susan
No change for me this week - which is actually a good thing if you saw my 'what I ate today' posts! :rolleyes:
I *did* see your posts on the other thread. You're killing me!! Cinnamon chip scones are my FAVORITE thing to eat from Panera. Soooo yummy, bested only by the cinnamon chip scones they make at Great Harvest. I have to stay away from that place, because once I'm inside the door, this invisible force guides me to the counter and places an order for a scone against my will. :DQuote:

155lbs this morning ... At least it is the right direction!
Thank you for keeping up the chart.
Glad to help! I lost a lb but the key is, can I keep it off. I just keep losing and gaining the same 5 lbs over and over and over. :)

Great Harvest? Never been there...I think I need to pay them a visit! ;)Quote:

173.2 moving in the right direction.
They are in the same shopping center as Trader Joes's on 185th street. They have fantastic bread too. Better than Panera, IMHO.Quote:

I had no idea that they did other baked goods! Yum!Quote:

128 today-- holding steady!
weighed in at 214.0 this week. Not been a very good week exercise wise, but still a little loss so I'm happy enough. Next week could be tough with this bad cold I just developed.
I lost .4lbs but feel I must have gained some muscle because everything is fitting a little less tight now! My ending weight is 241.4.
I really feel like I worked hard this week and am glad for any loss I get. I worked out for almost 10 hours this week (over 5 days). I worked out with my trainer monday, spin class tues, wed off, water aerobics thurs, off friday, 20 mile cycling trip sat and 54 mile cycling trip yesterday.
I am going to try to just stay on an even level over the next several weeks because I have set the bar pretty high for myself! A couple of weeks ago I road my first 45 mile bike ride, I did 54 this weekend, plan to do 65 next saturday and on Oct 10th I am going to shoot for a centry! All 100 miles of it!

I am so lucky to have a great friend as a baker! I get free fresh scones, loaves of bread, cookies for my dd . . . . I love her vanilla challa and "gouda for what ales you" bread. MMmmmm. And all of it is made from local and organic ingredients!Quote:

Possegal - I won't be posting a weight this Friday. I'll be out of town. Hopefully by *next* Friday I can work off any damage I do during my trip. ;)
Susan
Sorry I'm late - 138 pounds - in the wrong direction!
Time to get serious!!
Lynette
Oh My... just back from 10 days of vacation basically. Some hiking and lots of walking, but no true workouts of any kind. I will weigh in in the morning and see what the damage is. I'm VERY scared! My clothes are fitting horrible. This will be a good opportunity to get serious!
I'm in - current weight is 154, goal weight 145 (I ultimately want to make it to 135). I just joined a gym and am being followed by a trainer and a nutritionist (first appointment this Wednesday). And just discovered spin classes! Living in a house with people who need to GAIN weight can be tough...
Got you added in there e.e.cummings. Enjoy your travels Susan and we'll look for you at the following week's weigh in. Jestvetmd - jealous of your vacation but I hear ya on the fear due to how the clothes are fitting. :)

Wow, things are going great for me-- swimming during the week and riding long 50 mile + rides is really having an impact.
My pants are all looser and more comfortable AND
... I never thought I'd be happy to say this:
But I fit a smaller bra that I had from a summer of triathlons! :D
Hooray!
Weight this am: 170.2. NO GAIN OVER VACATION! Amazing. What do you know.
Now, to get going and move below that 170 mark! My goal for this week is 167 by next friday. Good luck all!
Oy....just got my IUD out yesterday afternoon. This morning, the scale is up 4 lbs and I'm bloated already! :eek: I think that my first TTOM in 4 years is heading at me like a freight train so I don't expect that tomorrow's weigh in will be even remotely accurate. ;)
