Next two months of 2011 and our weight loss challenge!
Let me know
(1) if you want to join in
(2) what your weight is on Friday the 8th of July (or whatever day works best for you)
(3) what your goal weight is for 2nd of September - 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.
Thanks for doing it again, Posse!!
I'm in.
This time I will REALLY try (not like that last two months when I truthfully didn't really give it my all- or any all for that matter).
Will weigh in on Friday.
My goal is 150 by Sept. 2nd. My IM is Sept. 25 so I'd like to be 149 by then (so I'm not Athena)
This, I didn't try as hard as I could have either. I will weigh in first thing Friday morning. My goal weight for September 2nd is 130.Quote:

Count me in too. Thanks
Hi I would like to join in too....
Feeling pretty crappy about myself so hopefully this will be motivational!
I think I'm still carrying around my extra Christmas weight and we are over half way through the year :eek:
Will weigh in on Friday and set a goal!
I'm still in- goal 114 for these couple of months
Me, too. Goal: 220
Thanks, Possegal!
I'm in too! Hopefully I will make it through this round without life disasters (or will be able to plan around them and succeed nonetheless).
Goal weight: 205.
You and me both!!Quote:

I just had a doc appointment today, and I weighed in at 227. NOT happy. I know some of it is muscle that I didn't have before, but still. I did start out at 250, though, many months ago.
By September 2, I want to weigh 199 (or less!). I DO NOT want to see 200-something ever again!
Count me in. I am rehabbing from my shoulder surgery so will have less exercise than normal. My goal for 9/2 is 129 and I will weigh in Friday.
The last challenge I met my goal. I will join this challenge too but will be irregular in weighing as I don't have easy access to a scale--I'm in the motorhome for a couple of months.
I will use my last weigh in of a couple of days ago, before we left on our trip. My start weight is 127.
By the beginning of September (8 weeks roughly) my goal is to be 122. This is a little less than a pound a week. I'll be thrilled with that.
Ditto on that!Quote:

Morning,
Hmm, weigh in - 150.8 :(
Not too sure about a goal. 144 would be nice, however I think that may be a little on the optimistic side?
I did a quick online check and I should apparently be within the 107-141 range, for my age and height :eek:
No wonder dragging myself up all of those hills has been a bit of an effort!
Good luck everyone :)
227.6 this morning - I finally broke out of the 228.6 plateau.
Yay. 1 down, 89 to go.
:)

221 for me starting off.
I think I would like to join others with an optimistic goal of 199 (and to join the never again 200 club:)).
Thanks again, Possegal!!
This morning: 145.4.
Goal: 140.
Thanks! Good luck to everyone!!
Starting off at 135.4, I want to be 130 at the end of this challenge.
starting at 164.
My realistic goal is 155.
My ideal goal is 150. I realized that is VERY ambitious, but I have motivation (my IM is at the end of September). Time to get serious.
I'd love to join you guys! I've been on bike restriction for the last eight months (fingers crossed restriction will be lifted on Thursday)!
Start: 126.6
Goal: 110
Good luck everyone, we can do it!
Here's the spreadsheet. As always, let me know if there is trouble accessing the link.

Inexplicably, I am at 118.6 this morning, despite staying on track.
I hope things improve soon....
Thanks, Posse! You're the best!
Thanks Possegal!
Hello everyone.
Now: 134
By September: 125
I've been at 134 for more than a month now. I've returned to cycling after slacking off for a year and have been riding 5 times a week and limiting calories. Nothing much has changed on the scale -- it went down for a few days then back up and seems to be stuck there.
So it's nice to hang out with y'all and feel inspired. :)
Woops! Forgot to send you my official Friday-weight:
225 lbs.
(at least my scale is more forgiving than my doc's...however, I can REALLLLY fluctuate...)
((sigh))...okay, I did it. Now I'm committed. I darn well better get to bed NOW so I will feel like doing the long ride in the morning!
174.5###. Yippee. So far 51.5#. Another maybe 20# to go.
New to the forum - just ordered a new bike, can't wait to get it! - and it's great to see a weight loss challenge, just what I need!
So I was 185lbs last Friday and would like to get to 174lbs by September 2nd - then I'd just be overweight and no longer obese, haha! Over the past 18 months I've lost 60lbs I had put on through illness and medication (and eating too much of course ;P) and still have about 40lbs to go.
Look forward to following everyone's progress!
I would love to join the challenge. I need some sort of motivation. I gained 30 pounds about two years ago and I'm desperate to lose them. I bought my bike in May and I lost about 5 pounds right off but can't seem to keep the momentum.
I weighed in at 145 on Friday (and still today). My September 2nd goal is 134. I'm dying to get into the 120's eventually but I want to set a reasonable goal.
149.8 this morning a step in the right direction I suppose...
Also, why do Wiggle keep sending me free Haribo with my cycling orders? I think they're mocking me :o
117.4 - whew- finally seeing the downward trend. It helps with the motivation.
163.7
Nice. I'm busting my a$$ and I lose 3/10 of a pound. Wow- that gives me SUCH great motivation to continue. (insert EXTREMELY sarcastic tone here).
Ugh- I'm ready for phen-phen... to hell with what it does to my heart. I'm so sick of being fat and trying and the scale not budging.
Oh, and I worked out 14.5 hours last week. It's not like I need to workout more.... sheesh
And no, it's not muscle. I've been working out like this since early June training for an IM in September. My clothes fit exactly the same- if it were muscle I'd be slimming down even if my weight hasn't changed.
I'm doing Weight Watchers and staying within my points (using all my weekly bonus points, eating all my daily points). I've lost weight with WW before, but for some reason I'm not budging this time. Making healthy choices, limiting sugar, cut out all soda on July 1st.
Sorry for the b#tchfest- just frustrated and irritated... :mad: Just needed to vent. Sulking and getting back on the wagon to keep at it...
184 this morning - lost 1lb, at least it's in the right direction! And I got my new bike yesterday so that has got to help!
126.5 at the doctor's office, so I am down .5 pounds. This is good as it is a different scale and was not a weigh in first thing in the morning when I am nice and dehydrated.
On the downside, my BP was up. She ended up taking it three times waiting for it to go down a bit. What is up with that? My BP was last taken at the doctor's office 31 pounds ago and it is higher now.
So still on the BP drugs and have to take my bp once in a while to see where I am at. :(
My next weigh in won't be until I see my sleep doc on the 29th. Hope to be down a pound to 125.5. I am not pushing the weight loss hard right now as I am trying to get stronger.
226.2 as of yesterday.
I'm in Hawaii, 16th anniversary, heading to hotel gym.
