For 8 full weeks, this one actually goes to November 5th. Pretty soon I may need to set up a 7-week timeframe to get things back to two month challenges. :)
Let me know
(1) if you want to join in
(2) what your weight is on Friday the 10th of September
(3) what your goal weight is for 5 November - if you want to, if you don't want to set a goal like that, then no worries.
I'll post the link to the chart later in the week.
Count me in this time! I am actually trying to NOT lose much more weight, so this will help me to keep an eye on things. I have to keep building my mileage base for the next 4 weeks so this will help.
Put me down for 128 by October, that should be realistic and give me a little room to work with...
please count me in again. August went the wrong way and I need to get back on track. My weigh-in will be a little late this week, as I'm away on a field course until Sunday. I'll report back then.
Thank you again Possegal for keeping us all on track!
Oh, definitely count me in! I actually start a personal challenge on Friday that will take me up to Christmas Eve (15 weeks exactly), so the timing works perfectly for me.
I'll weigh in on Friday for my starting weight. Goal weight will be 145. :)
Glad to help folks! I renewed my commitment to tackling this weight on Tuesday. Emailed my sisters, said I know I sound like a broken record, but time to get myself in shape and develop some healthy habits. I've set out weekly changes. Rome wasn't built in a day, right? ;) This week was bringing a healthy lunch to work and not eating out or skipping a lunch. Next week will be eating a healthy dinner too. Then getting an hour of exercise the next week. Not that I can't start those things sooner, just giving myself some leeway to not get all on track right away. Plus, dealing with some lung inflammation that I'm hoping goes away without steroids, so the exercise thing can wait a bit (other than walking more).
I'm in again too. My goal weight is 153(.9).
:)
Possegal, we cannot thank you enough for your time and effort to keep this going!
I just weighed in at 129.8... I swear that I am eating enough but the weight keeps going. Am going to meet with a nutritionist at my club to figure out how to do this properly. I don't want to be at my target weight of 128(.9) the second week of the challenge! I do NOT go hungry, not by any stretch of the imagination.
Then again, I haven't been this light in probably 30 years - so I probably shouldn't be complaining :) Long distance cycling does burn a lot of calories...
I'm in again. I would like to set my target for 140 lbs. I am 149 tonight. I like to think about a pound a week is realistic and doable!:D
I am 151 today and want to be 143 on November 5th. Thanks so much for doing these challenges!
I'm at 157 this morning.
I'd like to revise my goal slightly to 152(.9) :)
Thanks Possegal!
I'm very new to this board, but would LOVE to participate! I've already lost 15 but I fell off the wagon about a month ago and gained a few pounds back. :( Maybe this will get me motivated again.
I am currently 146.5, goal is 140.
Thank you for doing this!!
Julie
230.6
Goal: 225 (again)
Thanks, Possegal!
Welcome aboard GodivaGirl! You will find a lot of inspiration here, and lots of helpful advice as well.
Here is the link folks - let me know if it isn't working. Still have all the names from last time on there and I will clean that up in a week or so, after people have a chance to chime in about giving it another go this challenge. (easier to wait and delete than retype, yeah, I'm that lazy! :) )

I'd like to be in too. I'm at 140 today, goal is 132.
Posse, if it is ok, just go ahead and change my goal to 125. My weight last night was 129.8.
Thanks! I talked with my trainer today and he thinks that things are going well - he thinks that I am becoming leaner as opposed to losing muscle. As much weight as I've lost, almost all of my body fat seems to be centered around my abdomen - even at 20% body fat it is quite noticeable. It would be good for my overall health if I could lose more of that...
Posse gal, thanks for continuing to do this. I will stay on board with the weekly check-in, - it helps me stay focused, even though I am hovering around my goal weight now. Put me down for 111.2 today and a goal of 109.
Our love of biking can help us through to our goals- mine has helped me lose 26 pounds since last July, and maintain my weight since May.
I'd like in again. I really fell of the wagon in August and gained a bunch of weight. So starting weight 182 goal 174. I hope the scale moves the right way this time.
Possegal thank you, thank you, thank you for continuing to do this for all of us.
Starting weight: 152.1
Thanks!
Adding in updates for the day.

Thanks Possegirl for all this. I would like to join in, this time from the beginning and actually make some progress.
Weight: 165.6
Goal:158
Well, I didn't partake in the last round of the weight loss challenge and somehow lost 7 lbs. I don't get my body! Argh!
I'm all in for this round! I'm down to 150.2 as of Friday (wooo! I was sitting at 157 for the last, oh, 10 months). My goal is another 5 pound loss, so I'd like to shoot for 145.
Ok ok ok, hopefully I'll do better this round.
Starting: 144.0
Goal: 139.5
Thanks so much for your work on keep this up!
-- gnat!
I have lost 30 pounds and am still over 25% body fat, but am still losing weight. I also have a large amount of fat in my abdomen area, and am hoping it redistributes over time. I started biking 6 months ago at the age of 49 and love it. KarenQuote:

OK, I disappeared ... last post was August 16, 2009, (hence my post title). My last 13 months have been, well, to say the least, life changing.:( I need to really get "my life" back and a bit of weight loss will help. My riding has taken a hit, but I know I'll get back on track there too.
On Sept 10th my weight was 145, my goal by Nov 5th is to break into the 130s. Don't care where in the 130s, just somewhere.
I can't wait to start digging back thru some of the thread again, I've missed checking in.;)

I put down 139.9. :) I SOOOOO understand the idea of just breaking through into another decade there. I really do!Quote:

Hi,
I would like to be included also. My Friday weight was 148lbs and my goal is 145lbs.
Thanks for the chart.
A little late, but count me in. I need to get back on track. Weighed in at 207.8 this morning, a big set-back. Goal is to get below 200. Not off to an easy start with a wedding and a Devon Cream Tea planned for this week-end, but then it's back to work and routines again.
I am 150.4 this morning.
Well, that's weird. And I don't think it's a fluke as it's been consistent all week.
153 this morning.
I guess I'm changing my weight goal for this challenge.
Possegal--can you please change my goal to: 148.
Thanks!
Possegal,
Check me in at 143 today.
Thanks for keeping the charts for the group, kind of you to take the extra time for us.
Tabby
141 for me this morning. Moving in the wrong direction. :(
171.8 this morning.
292.6
131 :(
Well at least this time it wasn't me that inverted someone's numbers. :)Quote:
