July/August - Weight Loss Challenge

I didn't get a chance to log my stuff yesterday, we were gone all day and I forgot. I hope I can still be included.

My starting weight 240 ugggg it hurts me to type that.

My goal - lose 10 lbs in 8 weeks so it would be 230

I would like to initially log more miles on the bike, about 60 miles a week and gradually make it more throughout the process. That doesn't sound like much, but I don't want to add to much cause then if I don't suceed, I will give up.

I need to incorporate some strength training and will make that a goal, but haven't anything to do that with right now.

Also, on the days I cannot ride I will get on the tread mill for at least 30 minutes.

Count me in this time. I will post my weight tomorrow morning because I forgot to weigh myself this morning. Looking forward to another challenge!

Hi, I registered just to get on the challenge, so I hope i'm not too late.

my current weight is about 145lbs and my goal weight for this challenge is 140lbs. I've been intensifying my riding recently (rode 139 miles this last week), so I JUST NEED TO WATCH THE INTAKE!

ride on everyone!

I forgot to post yesterday (me bad).

July 4 weight: 134.75
8-week goal: Under 130
Ultimate goal: 125
Exercise: rode 16 miles
Goal: I have a weekend bike trip coming up in August, and one of the routes is 65 miles. I've really got to get moving because I haven't even done a 25-miler yet!

30 miles to log today. It was supposed to be a longer ride but we got to the end of the street and saw 1/2 mile of gravel and who knows how much construction beyond that so we turned around and improvised. :cool: It was a good ride though!

I think I'm going to survive Day 1 of my detox diet. :D Only 6 to go. LOL! Supper is a big green salad with grilled Salmon so that won't be a problem.

I wrote down my info on Friday and forgot to post it! Starting weight 143. Weight on Friday 142! Got in 60 miles on hills last weekend and it must have cranked up my metabolism as I generally never lose a pound a week :D
So, doing it again this weekend!

Forgot to mention my goals:

For this 8 weeks: 138
Ultimate goal: 120

in. starting 124, goal 120.
thanks!

Yikes! My scale has been iffy lately and decided to die this morning (or at least that's what I thought). So while in town today I picked up a newer and cooler one. It's the Weight Watchers scale that tells you body fat, bone mass, and hydration. I know they're not real accurate but seeing a trend downwards is the important part. Anyhow, I got home and set up the scale, stepped on, and it read 172.2! :eek: I know it's the middle of the day and I normally weigh in the morning plus I had clothes on :p but still!! So I smacked my old scale and it decided to work but read 168.5. Hmmmm, guess I shoulda bought a new scale before weighing in for the challenge. I'm going to keep the old scale in the other bathroom and keep checking to see if the difference is the same.

The kids and I went up Badger Mtn. today. We had a nice breeze for most of it so the heat wasn't too bad. The trail is 1.4miles to the top and climbs 800ft. Beautiful view from the top but it was hazy out so we couldn't see the mountains in the distance. :( Still a nice day to climb though!

HI, Im new, but am interested in joining this challenge. Starting weight 191, goal for end of august 179. I am ready!

Ok, hopefully this works... there are a LOT of us this time (46)!!

There are two people who still have not weighed-in...so if you guys don't want to do this, that's fine. Just let me know and I can update the chart.

Also, please check this over and let me know if there are mistakes. I only got about 3 hours of sleep last night and there are a lot more numbers/posts to keep track of this time. ;)

LET'S DO THIS!!!

And my weigh in was 167.2. My goal for this challenge is 160 - I'd love to break below that, finally. Long term goal is 145. Exercise goals? I'll try and keep track of my minutes/miles and log them...and then once I see what I am currently doing, I'll set some goals. Most of my exercise lately (besides my 6 mile commute), has come from hard physical labor. We recently bought a house, and are working feverishly to renovate it, get the garden going, clean up the yard, build some outbuildings, etc. Then of course...there's the physical act of moving! We are about halfway through moving our stuff. Yes, we are moving everything ourselves. Ugh! Anyway, I'll keep track this week and then post a goal for the following weeks. One main goal? BIKE MORE! :p
