July/August - Weight Loss Challenge

This has been a good way for me to at least stay focused on getting on the bike and to focus on eating too.

I passed my NASM personal trainer exam last week. So I didn't do much riding pre-test because well, I was studying like nuts.

The funny thing is that my Phys Therapist can't understand why I have no strength and my injury hasn't gotten better. Sad to say I haven't been in a gym strength training for at least a year (serious training). Sigh. Why can't I take my OWN advice?

Mark me down for 188. Hanging in there!

I dont think I would have lost these 11 lbs without your chart.
It gives me something to look forward each friday morning.
I really appreciate your time and effort in making and maintaining it.

I sure hope there is another challenge!!!
I am ready to lose another 12!

You couldn't have said it better!!

+1 Thank You!

I would definitely be interested in another challenge.

Please count me in for Sept/Oct. Thank you for all of your hard work.

just got back from vacation. I did not exercise at all because the day before I left for vacation I went for a run and ended up straining my calf and could hardly walk. Basically took 1 and 1/2 weeks off. Weight is 150. Not too bad.

142 - not good! :(

But September is another month, so count me in for the next round (if we have one).

And thank you again for the chart - I know it is a lot of work for you and this gal is very appreciative!!

Count me in for next round too if there is one. And thank you GLC of putting in the hard work of maintaining the spreadsheet! I was on a roll this challenge, but then went away on vacation and jumped back up to 205.4. Time to buckle down and get back to it now that vacation is over.

And the final result is.... I've maintained. After a 6lb drop this week for unhealthy reasons, I'm back at my constant, 143.5.
I know I didn't put the work in that would have been required to lose anything these last two months, but I have managed to maintain and am on the right track for the months ahead!

226 this morning. Not bad considering I had a week of vacation and we've virtually eaten every meal this week out.

I'm definitely in for the next challenge to - provided GLC is kind enough to do this again for us. Gotta make myself get more serious about this....

176.8, I've lost .2 pounds over 8 weeks...I guess there’s something to be said for consistency :)

Finally, finally...I actually got back to counting my Weight Watcher points this week and keeping my food journal. I ate plenty, just made better choices. So my body is trying to tell me something if I would just LISTEN.

Today: 145.2

Now I have to keep it up! I hope to keep reporting for Sept! And I'll try not to wait until the last week to do something. Thank you for keeping the chart...it is so helpful!

118.2 this AM.
So I did NOT meet my goal weight, but I DID lose weight.
I think I will continue in this downward trend (postive thinking) and would love to continue and be part of this challenge for the next 8 weeks.
Gotta get it off now, before the 1/2 marathon AND before the holidays hit!:eek:

Oops, back up 1/2 pound, to 131-3/4, so I didn't meet my goal, but I at least lost something.

Thanks for all your hard work, GLC, and, yes, I would be interested in another challenge.

I'm at 154, again. I didn't lose as much as I would have liked, but I can't say I was very diligent about it.

Thanks for having done this challenge GLC, I appreciate your work.
