Thanks, I guess the week off hurt me a little, but the challenge is a great motivator.

Current Weight = 190.0 lbs

8 week Goal - 185.0 lbs

Thanks again!

Starting weight- 171.4

Goal for this challenge- 165

Time to get off the 170ish plateau, and get things moving in the right direction!

The other thing that helps me is to take my measurements once a month. It's always a great thing to lose an inch or two, even if the scale has not moved that much.

I made a mistake. My starting weight is not 141, but 140. I just stepped on the scale.

[Mighty Mo]

Ok, Looks like I am the heavyweight of the bunch.

194.6, goal in 8 weeks 182. I'd love to log miles ridden also to keep me consistent, but I totally understand that adds to the workload.

Have a Happy 4th!

[KerryCrow]

I'm excited for this challenge...I need all the help I can get.

Today: 148.0
Goal for Challenge: 140
Ultimate goal: ? Would love to get to 135, but I've never been lower than 140 in my life, so may not be realistic. I'm just focused on the 8#'s for now (I'm 5'7")

Mo,

I've started a log for goals other than actual weight. So if you choose to log miles ... others have posted a few things too. I'll prepare a chart to compliment GLC's weight loss chart.

We're moving right along~!!

Yikes! My scale has been iffy lately and decided to die this morning (or at least that's what I thought). So while in town today I picked up a newer and cooler one. It's the Weight Watchers scale that tells you body fat, bone mass, and hydration. I know they're not real accurate but seeing a trend downwards is the important part. Anyhow, I got home and set up the scale, stepped on, and it read 172.2! I know it's the middle of the day and I normally weigh in the morning plus I had clothes on but still!! So I smacked my old scale and it decided to work but read 168.5. Hmmmm, guess I shoulda bought a new scale before weighing in for the challenge. I'm going to keep the old scale in the other bathroom and keep checking to see if the difference is the same.

The kids and I went up Badger Mtn. today. We had a nice breeze for most of it so the heat wasn't too bad. The trail is 1.4miles to the top and climbs 800ft. Beautiful view from the top but it was hazy out so we couldn't see the mountains in the distance. Still a nice day to climb though!
