New Weight Loss Challenge

[tctrek]

Not sure how much longer you guys are going on this challenge, but I count me in. I have about 20 pounds to lose. Was doing really good in January, but have kind of stalled, so I'll need to change something to get the weight loss going again.

I'm starting at 149.

[kjay]

Same at 179.0. I've been exercising more and eating no more than 1200 cals per day, plus just started working with a personal trainer. Won't anything work anymore? Completely bummed out!

[Over50Newbie]

144 - Ugh! Pretty disgusting, actually.

How many more weeks do I have to turn this around?

137.2 this week. woohoo.

kjay - dont get discouraged, it'll happen. you hit plateaus as your body adjusts.

[ClockworkOrange]

Damn, following PinkBike at 137.2............ but well done.

Although far too much, I weigh in at around 170 but since being unwell, it has shot up to 187!

Carrying extra weight with this damned COPD thing, is not very sensible, so I really have to make a big effort.

...............goes off to make porridge for breakfast.........without sugar!

I'm at 171.2 as of Friday morning. Feeling better about things this week! Hope to break that 170 mark by end of this next week.

CLOCK: Of course, anyone with such a COOL AVATOR can join anything I'm doing! I'll put you and TC TREK on the list. I think there are only two more weigh-in weeks on THIS challenge. But this isn't the first, so maybe people will want to continue and start from scratch again. Let's see what happens! In the mean time, WELCOME, and here's to losing a few pounds!

Hi Jes

Thanks for the nice reply.

Yes, wish that lovely dog was mine, I only have a budgie now, mind you, he was an orphan and he's cute, plus he listens to me whinge and moan all the time.

Shock, horror, just checked my weight at the nearby Leisure Centre and it's a pound more than I thought, so it makes me 188 pounds

AND it would appear I have shrunk, I have always been 5'6"



Am really going to give it my best ..............that will make a change......

Staring at that horrible little piece of paper, certainly sends home a message.

hmmm....back to 155. I guess my body and I are arguing. I haven't been below 150 for a very longtime. I will have to get very diligent if I"m going to cross that line.

I'll weigh in Tuesday. I'm away for a race. I would frown for not weighing in, but I'm ecstatic because I had my first mountain bike ride of the year and I AM HAPPY!!!!!!

[motochick]

I decided to do a little test...I lost several pounds the week I gave up all alcohol. Then gained some back with a little alcohol and too many cookies. This last week I drank as I pleased to see if it really made that much difference. I weighed in at 130, so I guess it does. No alcohol until after Memorial weekend, as I am doing a 3 day ride, first time ever.

Today's weight 174.4. Up .2 pounds, which is OK.

Are we almost done with this challenge- is there one more week after this or 2?

[GLC1968]

I think there is only 1 more week? Or is it 2. Yeah, I'm a big help, aren't I?

After this challenge period is over, I volunteer to start another one. I need it.

I think I forgot to weigh in last week, but this week I'm at 167.2. At least I'm FINALLY moving in the right direction. Now I have to keep it going...

[kjay]

Same old same old story . . . no weight change for me. I do feel that I've lost inches and will start keeping track of inches rather than weight. I will continue to track my weight for this challenge, however. Not sure whether to smile or frown, so I'll do both.

[jesvetmed]

I'm FINALLY under 170... 169.6. YEAH!!! Years since I've been this low.

I think we have ONE more week. So next Friday is it!
Will post the official rankings in a day or so once everyone has checked in!

So I've been sick FOREVER and haven't posted. Today's weight is 115.5, however most of this weight loss is from being sick.
