I'll be in with the goal of maintenance. I am right where I need to be with fitness and weight. If I loose a bit, no a big deal - there's always a little that I can shake off - but I don't have room to gain. I won't be around on the 4th. My weight is 159. I am 5'8".
Count me in!
I have been waiting for a new challenge to begin. I think I am really serious this time. Maybe this will help keep me on track. Last time I joined I never really lost anything!
I plan to weigh in on Thursday....I am off on Friday and sadly I usully visit TE when I need a break at work!
Now I will go eat my healthy afternoon snack...low fat yogurt and a low fat quaker oats granola bar! :)
I will join in again. Good Luck to everyone!!
ummm. i'm not entirely sure of the "rules" or anything except that there is a weight in on friday?
Thanks cyclingmama,
I see that you are new here. The women on this board are amazing - especially the ones that have been around for a long time. They are the ones that inspire me the most. They were amazingly helpful when I first started this fitness journey. I'm glad that I can "inspire" someone else and help pass on what was already given to me. :)

han-grrl - We have no "rules" here. We weigh in every Friday and just support each other whether we end up losing weight, gaining weight, or maintaining weight. Oh, and sometimes we "kick each other in the butt" when we need it most. ;)
JLMitchell - Biking is great (considering this is a bicycling board), but anything that you can do to keep fit and stay healthy is what we are all about here.
With that being said, I would love to log our biking miles along with our weight. That could be fun and motivating for me!

I'm new, but not new to these 10#'s I need to lose....they attached themselves in January and have been hanging on for dear life.
This is great...I will report in on Friday, July 4!
Since we may all be doing different activities along with biking, perhaps we could have a column to report using * the number of days that week that had good activity. Last week I had 4 days of work out and/or rides so I get ****. Reminds us if we didin't do much that week, weight is up, time to push a bit more next week. Just a thought.Quote:

I'll try for 10 during the challenge, but my ultimate goal is 25. My birthday's in September so it would be nice to need some new clothes about then...:)
count me in!!! I have to figure out what my goal is-the last one was a little too much but I still did good! Looking forward to this Friday!
I'm in! Hopefully I can lose more weight!!
Although i'm not very strict about what I eat, this at least forces me to weigh in once a week and to keep everything in check.
Count me in, too. Third time's a charm, right?? Maybe I'll actually lose something this time!
I know weigh ins are on Friday. But since it is a holiday and I'll be off work and most likely NOT log on to a computer at all...I am reporting my weight today.
120.8
Now if I can just not blow it this weekend w/ the holiday cookouts and all!:eek:
Count me in too! I've been trying to lose weight for the past month and have been doing okay, but now I'm on Lyrica for shingles, and one of the side effects is weight gain, so I hope I don't blow what I've lost so far.
Count me in! I have to go get a new scale first. My old one decided to die at the end of the last challenge. It kept flashing multiple numbers. I think the last one was 182, 134 and 68. It's one of those where you stand on it, it locks in the weight and then you step off and look at it. Those were the three numbers it flashed at me, so I went with the first number for my final weigh in. As soon as I get back in town on Sunday, I'll go buy a new scale on turn in this weeks' weigh in on Monday morning. Maybe I'll splurge on one of the ones that does body fat too. Anyone have a brand that they recommend getting...or avoiding?
I like the idea of logging miles too. If it's too much work to add them to the spreadsheet, I think just posting them for all of you guys to see each week would more than motivate me. I've got to get into serious training mode for the century I'm doing in September.
