New Weight Loss Challenge

[GLC1968]

Hey guys!

Count me in again...but for the no reward challenge this time. My starting weight is 165.2 (this was Wednesday's weight before my scale was packed away on the moving truck!!).

I have to be 'no reward' as we are driving across the country this week and I won't have my scale for the next weigh in. I *should* have it by week 2 though!

jesvetmed - I'd be happy to keep doing the chart if you'd like. By week 2, we'll be more settled and I should be able to be more 'timely' in my postings. If you'd rather do it yourself (or if you'd like me to email mine to you), I'm ok with that too. Just send me a PM and be patient on replies as my computer access over the next 7 days will be sporatic at best.

Yay! I'm glad we are doing this again!!

Uh-oh . . . I've already broke down and had some (alot) of ice cream and I have a cold! And I haven't exercised! I'm off to a bad start.

I would love to join the weight challenge. My starting weight OMG....is 220lbs. and I would love to hit my goal this next couple of weeks of below 200 lbs. I haven't seens that in jeez....10 years.


Count me in if I am not to late to join.

If it is not too late I too would like to join in on the non-reward. I have about 10 that I need to get rid of. I have a hard time staying focused. Maybe this will help. I am 150#

I meant to post the yesterday, but my online time completely got away from me. Anyway, I'd like to join in on the reward challenge.

Starting weight: 243 lbs.

This should be interesting, because I have no actual goal weight. I'm really only trying to take off some weight now in hopes that it helps the knee that's been so resistant to treatment. I've always disliked the notion of dieting, so I'm hoping that by joining a challenge like this I can stay a little more focused.

OK. I've been seeing this thread, and avoiding it, because I have really, really been off track since I lost 10 pounds in November/December. I had really been on track. Since then, I have tried 1000 times to get restarted, but I am struggling. I'm working out lots...but the eating is not sane at the moment.

I would like to join the non-reward challenge. I almost hate to join, because I don't like lying to myself, and honestly, I am not sure I am motivated to stay on track at the moment. But, I really, really need to lose some more weight. I haven't been this heavy, for this long, for a long time.

So, here we go. Deep breath. Starting weight for this challenge: 162lbs.

I would like to lose 10 pounds in this 8 weeks. But, even if it was a solid 5 pounds, that would be an improvement. Good luck, everyone!

[jesvetmed]

It's definitely not too late -- we'll take you all! I'll get our progress chart posted tomorrow and can then update it weekly after each Friday weigh in! No worries to you all....I've already put on 1 or 2 lb since weighing in Friday.. .is that possible!?!? Time to get back to work!
