July/August - Weight Loss Challenge

[GLC1968]

Ok, so far we have 41 people signed up! I'll post the first chart after everyone weighs-in this week. Don't forget to post your weight and your personal goal (if you have one).

The chart is getting a bit unweildy as it is...so adding new columns might make it a bit hard to fit on a page! We can certainly post our miles (or exercise minutes) each week, but I'm not sure keeping them on the chart is the best idea. But if you guys really want it, I'll do it. Up to you!

How 'bout I create a chart with the exercise minutes-hours/miles to post here. That way we will have all 41 of us charted in one place to congratulate and encourage each other. It will also be a good way to see the exercise and how it correlates with the weight loss. Suggestions?

Tabby - I think that would be a good idea! Then we'll have a two charts in the same thread that we can compare weekly to keep ourselves on track.

Cool! I'll follow your lead, use the same name order you list for easy viewing association. As the group begins their posts, I'll add exercises/miles (road or mtb), etc.

I'm sure there will be some suggestions flow in, I'll incorporate them as they come and fit.

Lookin' forward to a good challenge.

Starting off the challenge on the right foot this time, with a lower weight than I ended the last one. A nice way to start the morning for a change.

Current weight: 205.6
Goal for the challenge: 195

Happy 4th to all you ladies over the pond! Enoy the parties and parades!

I see han-grrl and kerrybelle (me, too) posted additional goals plus exercise goals. If anyone wants to post additional goals, I'll incorporate them into the exercise log ... I know it helps me to be accountable! Bambu101 mentioned personal measurements ... if you post total inches lost weekly/monthly, I'll include them too.

This chart is only to compliment the weightloss challenge ... and only if you post additional items.

Starting weight: 140
8 week goal weight: 132
Exercise goal: 100 - 150 road miles/week; 12 -16 speed walking miles/week
Food goal: More whole foods, less processed foods

It's great to do this with so much support from around the world!
