Posse: Sorry to be so delinquent! I DO want to join up again. I need the incentive!
I'm down to 170.6 at this time. My goal for the end of April: 156.
That would be HUGE for me! But I'm feeling it more than the last few months.
Now... what do I do with those DAM*@% girl scout cookies in my freezer?!:eek:
No worries Jes - and for anyone else reading this thread, it is NEVER too late to join in. I've got no problems adding in a line at anytime in the two month interval. Don't put off joining us because you think you got involved too late.

Put them in the kitchen at your workplace with a "Please Eat Me" sign on them. Works like a charm around here. :DQuote:

I bring things like candy and cookies to my office all the time. They are gone in a heartbeat. I may have one, but if I kept them at home, I'd eat them all!
May I join? :o
I had a body composition analysis done this past Saturday (I stood on a scale-like contraption which used electrical impedance to determine the amounts of lean body mass and body fat I'm lugging about). The results were not pretty. :p
Weight: 163.6 lbs <--- you can use that as my Friday 3/6 start weight
BMI: 25.6
Lean body mass: 108.2 lbs
Body fat mass: 55.4 lbs
Percent body fat: 33.9 :eek:
(which makes me 66.1 percent fat-free, but it doesn't sound good that way either).
They suggest I lose 23 lbs of fat, while retaining my lean body mass. Now, I was 140 lbs a few years back and everyone told me I was looking gaunt (or, as my gyno put it, "Honey, when you get to be our age, it comes off our faces first" ) so a bit under 150 is more reasonable for me.
So my short-term goal for the end of April is 155, or a little over a pound per week.
(I plan to get another composition analysis/LT test done sometime in June and I hope to be between 145-148 by then.)

Thankyee kindly! :cool:
Ok I am in. (Do I get credit for the 11 lbs I lost in Jan/Feb? :p ).
I'm at 180 now. I do WW and weigh in on Sundays. Goal for 5/1 is 174. I don't know why. I also do regular body composition analysis like what Jo did (though with the pinchers instead of the impedence thing.) Anyway, I was pretty pleased that my lean body mass remained the same between December and February, though I lost 11 lbs. Means I lost FAT which is certainly the goal. :D So I will be doing another testing probably mid-April and we'll see how it goes.
I need to drink less wine for sure. :rolleyes:
Stupid bloat. Between Friday morning and this morning (Monday), scale went up 3.5 pounds. I know that's not fat gain, and I know I had some candy at the movie theater last night, but sheesh the subconsious part of my brain is having a difficult time thinking I can do anything right now. Grr.
Hopefully it'll all right itself by this coming Friday. Just makes me wish I could have these goals without all the emotional attachment.
-- gnat!
'Kay, Maillotpois and I have the same weight loss goals. :) Count me in.
Well, my hubby should take care of the girl scout cookies without much issue!Quote:

And, I'm selling chocolates for the Breast Cancer 3-Day at my office, so I don't want to provide FREE cookies! Selfish -- yes, but in a giving sort of way! :p
Sundial - is your start weight also the same as maillotpois? Just checking.
