May & June - Weight Loss Challenge

[tctrek]

I knew my vacation in the Florida Keys would be tough!! I'm 146.5 - up by 1.5 pounds! I really didn't eat that bad, but missed my daily trip to the gym, so hopefully I can get it off quickly!

Hey guys, good work ... keep it up!

I wish I'd found this thread when you started but I only found the site a week ago. Dang!

Charting is good. I've dropped 45lbs in last year and half and hoping mtb will help firm me up.

Are you gonna do it again for July/August?

TABBY: Congrats on all that weight lost! What an accomplishment. I'm hoping we'll just keep going as our own little "WW" type thread. I love checking in, seeing the progress of others. So, I say, yep, and you are, of course, welcome to join us any time!

I'm down a bit too, 179.4, but I feel like I had a really good week and I'm hoping it is the start of something. I packed my lunch every day, had a healthy breakfast every day (but one) had ony one mt dew (will never get totally off them, but on a bad day I can drink many of them) everyday, and cooked a nice "let's dish" dinner each night. Went spinning twice, went walking three times, and even rode my own bike yesterday (first time in ages due to shoulder inflammation). All and all, I'm pleased with my week and I'm hoping that I see more lbs drop off this week if I keep up my pace. This challenge has really helped me a lot and once this two month span is over, I'm most definitely in for the next two months.

Hey all -

I didn't post my weight last week as I was away from a computer all weekend. I dropped another 0.2 so that's three weeks in a row in the right direction, yay me! You want to know what I changed? I stopped 'dieting'. I stopped eating all low fat or no fat foods (except skim milk). I eat the WHOLE egg, I eat full fat cheese, I eat butter. I just stopped buying 'diet' foods and starting eating the real thing but in moderation. Amazing. Now, I know that doing this isn't going to get me a super lean 'cut' physique...but if it'll get me back down to a "normal" 140 lbs or so...I'd be happy.

Anyway - a lot of you are doing VERY well considering there are so many vacations happening. Keep up the great job, all!!

Guess who is coming to town? Time to make up the spare room for Aunt FLO.

Didn't she just LEAVE? sigh...

Hi. Yikes. I guess I got dropped!!! Sorry I have not checked in--been crazy here. Rode my horse in her first 100 miler last weekend-she did great!

I am down to 170.5, if you want to put me back on the chart!!!

Laura - consider yourself back on!

I actually don't delete anyone...you are just hidden until you catch back up.

172.4 this week- again! I am definitely in a rut.

+1 on the real food, GLC1968.

[Jallora]

Well, I'm now back up over what I started at. I'm at 182. The good news is that I know that I've lost fat and am gaining muscle. My clothes are fitting better. Why does that stupid number still have the power to upset me though?

One more week!

[tctrek]

144.5 lbs. The vacation weight "gain" must have been water gain... it came right off and then a little more! Everyone remember to stay super-hydrated if it's hot in your part of the country -- helps to flush out and keep water weight off. I didn't drink enough water when I was on vacation.

I'm back up a pound to 207. Bugger. But I am slowly getting better at eating right and finding time for exercise so it must start helping sooner or later. I just got sabbotaged by a bout of hayfever and a dinner at a friends house (why do people insist on plating up the food for you and piling your plate full of too much food and then making you eat it all to be polite?). I guess I failed the challenge this time around, but I'll keep at it one day at a time.
