I finally broke through the 157 barrier!!! 156.3 for me this week.
I won't make my goal (unless I'm willing to chop off half my arm), but I'm totally ok with it. If I can break into the 155's before the end of this challenge, I'll consider it a whopping success. :cool:
I am 137 again this week...I am oh so close to my goal...
138.2 this week - that is the wrong direction and I am so close to my goal! However, I am cycling a LOT more than I was & my trainer has been really increasing my strength training in both weight and intensity. My diet hasn't changed so can only assume I am gaining muscle...
Still frustrating though.

141.8 I am late posting again, but there it is. Wrong direction.
I've completely lost focus! Ack! I haven't even gotten on the scale, nor do I desire to. I'm taking a break for the rest of the challenge. But I'm coming back strong for the July/August Edition.
:cool:
161 - I have hit a plateau but am trying not to be discouraged.
I am a total slacker, and I completely dropped out this time. I just can't focus on my weight and ironman train. I am trying to keep my eating clean and focused on my upcoming race and training. After the ironman, I am going to refocus on bringing down my overall weight. Good luck everyone!
Just noticed this thread and can't wait to join when the July-August challenge starts!
Weighing in a little early as I'm about to head off on holiday (long week-end in Prague). 205.2 this morning. And I've had a look at my stats logged on BeginnerTriathlete for the first 6 months of the year. I've lost over 12 pounds so far this year and I've lost 4cm off my waist! I haven't reached my goal yet, but I'm definitely getting closer little by little. Sign me up again for the next challenge. I'll try to keep this triathlon training up for another 6 months.
My weight loss has slowed to a pace that can only be described as that of a turtle with arthritis, but I am not giving up :) Perhaps I should pay more attention to the fit of my clothes than the scale, I don't know.
Regardless, I am in for the July/August challenge!
Oh - Prague, one of my favorite places!! FUN.
No worries folks. This chart is there to help you all. If you need to take a break from it, then that's what you need to do. We'll be here waiting for the next 8 weeks. :)
Should have included the link. I like to have that on at least one post per page, makes it easier on everyone. :)

was 125 yesterday. Still not my goal but I'm getting there. Sign me up for the next go round! I love this and appreciate your time with the spread sheet
137.6

I was 160.2 this morning. I'm ready for July/August with a goal of 150 at the end of August. I wish I could lose weight faster but slow and steady is good enough.
154 on the nose for me. :) Not quite my original goal, but I'll take it!!
Definitely count me in for the next round!
Catherine, that's terrific! I've watched you struggle for so long, and it seems that you are starting to make REAL PROGRESS!!! Be happy, something has clearly 'clicked' for you.
136.0 for me this morning!! I made my goal with no time to spare. This makes a grand total of 84lb for me since the spring of 2009!
I am up for the next challenge as well. I have a goal weight of 128 :-0
I am joining this *officially*. I'd like to lose 10 by the end of august - but it will be challenging due to having so much muscle. I may change my mind about my goal once I feel what riding while trying to lose weight feels like.
I was 131.6 today. that is the highest weight in 2 years for me!!
Today is my Birthday, as a gift to myself I'm not getting any where near a scale. Please count me in for the next challenge.
I'm definitely in for the next round. If we're starting today... my morning weigh-in was 277 pounds. No, that's not a typo.
My goal is 265 or 12 pounds lost, about 1.5 pounds a week in an 8 week challenge.
hi- I'd like to join for this round. My morning weigh-in was 146. I'd like to lose 5 pounds. thanks!
Thanks, Trisk!
Honestly, I think a big part of my success lately (besides having my new interest in triathlons to keep me working out!) is the lack of artificial hormones in my body. I am 100% synthetic hormone free for the first time in over 20 years. Now, when I eat in a deficit, I actually lose weight. Go figure! ;)
I'm also tracking more than just my weight, so I'm getting lots of feedback to keep me motivated when the scale doesn't move.
Only 21 lbs to go to my goal!
It's been a while and I have not been successful before...but I want to give it a try. Please add me. I will weigh in tomorrow AM (promise!)

So add me to the July/August wt loss...starting wt 126 lbs
Thanks!

the next round will start on the 9th of July actually, and I'll have a new thread for that one and will miss you if you post in this one (likely). So wait until I post that one. I'm a bit behind due to my Tour de France stalking in Europe right now. :)
I'm up for the next round, too, obviously. I need the help. I'm back up to 234.

Now that we are, in effect, between challenges I FINALLY made it to my original target weight! I am now 135.6 pounds :D :) :D It has been decades since I have been this small!
Now I get to ponder what to put on the next challenge...
catrin,
you and I are at the exact same size...I hit 135 on Monday. I weighed less (for a little while) in college at 120, but I was a bigger size, I think I was an 8 then. Now, I am a 4-6 which is uncharted territory for me.
