Wl-chllng #2!!!

Wow, a lot of us are doing very well! Too bad I'm not one of them!

I totally forgot that today was Friday, so I'll weigh tomorrow morning. I don't think it'll be good because I've not been paying ANY attention to what I ate at all this week. Not good.

I did start eating better yesterday though, so I'm on track to turn this trend around for the last week. I also think that keeping this going is a good idea! I can make another chart for say the next 8 weeks if people want to keep tracking. Personally, it keeps me honest to see the numbers on the screen every week alongside everyone else's. Of course, I say that as if I've actually been keeping up with chart postings! Oops.

I'll get it updated tomorrow when I weigh in, and I'll post it for everyone. I promise!!

i was 138.2 so i'm pretty happy! thought i'd be worse because i had two root canals on wednesday and only ate boston market mashed potatoes. maybe it jump-started my metabolism from my normal salad-at-lunch/salad-at-dinner routine. gotta find a way to weigh in next week from the tour of california. probably will not be good as we will be on a luxury vacation, but i'll try to be good. i like the way my jeans are fitting me again. dont want to lose that.

i agree we ought to continue with the weekly weigh-ins, it's good to be accountable.

Just down one more pound. 131, will I get to 130 and keep it there before the challenge ends next week? Like so many of us my weight fluctuates on a daily basis. I guess I should be happy it's only by a couple of pounds usually. I really wanted to get to a stable 128 during these weeks, so I'm a little disappointed. It doesn't really seem to matter what I'm eating. I can go on an ice cream binge and not gain anything, or really watch what I'm eating and gain 2-3 pounds. Frustrating at best.

I've been doing my own challenge, and am down 7 lbs. Woo hoo. Have to think long and hard about whether I'm willing to post my weight, though....

Aha! She's at the tour of Cali. This is from the 15th. Well give her a few more days!

Good job to Brok, who came in second and to CyclaSutra, who rocked on the no reward challenge.

If you didn't get your PM or I sent one to someone mistakenly, let me know. Thanks guys and good luck on the next round! NO PUN intended - round, what was I thinking??

PS - NOT a good idea to fill PinkBikes water bottle with M&M's before shipping it off. Mental note to self

You and me, both.

However, I think I am going to do a little better going forward. I bought some really lean beef and cut it into deck-of-card-portions for the freezer, the other day. Since I have been eating one every day, I have been a LOT less inclined to eat between scheduled meals, and I just FEEL better. Kinda think I needed the red meat (obviously the things in the red meat...I know many of you don't eat it).

I have to laugh...I grew up eating a lot of red meat, and my dad (who had the cholesterol of a teenager his whole life, like me) would tell me if I had a cold that all I needed was a good steak! OK...I don't use steak to treat the colds I get sometimes, but his cure for everything was red meat. I guess maybe I take after him!

Back to where I started at 163 thanks to a week of 12-14 hour days at work, snacks from the vending machines, and no time to exercise. Hopefully this coming week will be better.

Updated chart:



We are missing quite a few weigh-ins! I was up again this week, but not too bad. The good news is that I finally got to ride yesterday for the first time in 2008!!

My goal is to lose this bloat and get back to my starting weight by the last weigh-in!

I'd be happy to make up another chart to track us through March. Anyone who wants to be included, just post here and I'll add you.

[Flybye]

Sorry I didn't post on Friday - I am the same as last week.

GLC thanks again for the spreadsheet.

[brok]

Sorry, keep forgetting to post

Feb 8 - 141 and Feb 15 - 140

[Starfish]

Yeah, sorry, me too. Guess I don't like reporting that I seem to be holding steady at 160.
