May & June - Weight Loss Challenge

[gnat23]

137.5. Argh.

-- gnat! (don't give up don't give up don't give up)

[Fujichants]

148.5. Yup, I lost weight, but not because of exercise or eating well...my wisdom teeth have been acting up, so haven't been able to eat anything except for broth and jamba juice. Then got the gum tissue removed yesterday. Good to know though that i'm able to lose weight by not eating! But I am HUNGRY!!

Still hanging in at 149. Still remain focused on my goal of 140. Good luck to everyone.

I took a half step backwards. I haven't had a good week though. Super stressed with work. Not enough exercise and I bought (and consumed) a bag of Pepperidge Farm Chocolate Chunk & Pecan cookies for the first time in years this week. ::sigh:: I've got a very active weekend planned though, and I'm going to get back into my biking routine next week!

I didn't get here yesterday... I was 147, back up one. feh

[Pika]

I missed last weeks weigh in- I am back at 148.4
I am hopeful for this week because I am going to start a new exercise regime- mixing in some "power" exercises with the aerobic stuff I already do!

Over50newbie Way to go for reaching your Goal!!!!!!

[Over50Newbie]

Thanks everyone, I appreciate your support. Everything is just clicking this time. It just feels right.

You know, I wish I knew what it was when you decide to eat healthy and exercise for the 100th time, and then, for some reason, you stick with it for once.

Do you know how many times I have said that I am determined to lose weight? And then it ended up just being talk - I really wasn't that determined after all. It was just too hard!

But this time, it just felt different - I really am doing it - I really am determined. So what makes it different this time? I don't have a clue.

Not that I am complaining - I am thrilled that the weight is actually starting to come off.

So, has this also happened to you - you say you want to eat healthier, exercise more, etc but you really don't do it? And then all of the sudden, you just say, "No More" and you actually do it? What is it that is different between the two?

Anyway, I am going to keep the ball rolling - my new goal is to get to 135. I figure goals of 5 pounds are doable and will keep me motivated.

Kerry -

Yes Lynette, I can lose those 3 lbs. Thanks for the boost of confidence! Of course, we're having a terrible heat wave here this weekend, so there won't be much outside activity.

Check this out...I'm posting a loss for two weeks in a row! 167.6 this week.

I'm worried about next week since I'm now sick, so no long rides this weekend and I don't know when I'll be back to 'normal'. But I'll just keep, keepin' on...

I'll post an updated chart tomorrow!

[kelownagirl]

I haven't weighed in for a week ro two but nothign much has changed.

I just wanted to post this interesting link that might work for a spreadsheet fot this or some other challenge. This is just a test link. Let me know if it works. You can set it up so anyone can edit it too. You can invite people and make it private or leave it open like I did for this test one.

Hey GLC n all,

My last two weigh ins (5/29 and 6/6) were both 190.0. Man, it just does not want to go. I ditched the weight watcher point system. It makes it too easy to eat packaged food which makes me feel yucky. Just trying to eat right and not obsess over the calories and focus on portions. Didn't get really any riding in last week as I was out of town. AND IT IS SO HOTTTTT !!! Where did this come from?! Gack!

[Possegal]

No change for me this week. But I finally got to a spin class last night and i'm gearing up to go for a walk. And day two of only one Mt. Dew a day (huge accomplishment for me!). So I'm hoping for a better week next week!

[GLC1968]

Sorry for the delay!!

[ikkin]

125 for me last week. 124.5 for me this week.

happy thing is i think i'm replacing the bit of pudge i had with muscle. warm beautiful weather helps!
