July/August - Weight Loss Challenge

[Duck on Wheels]

One pound down, nine to go. Now at 179.5. Today's exercize: 2 walks to town, including 4th of July parade, dancing, and peace vigil.

I'll take it tho! I'm starting out at 187 (ended the last challenge at 190). I'm going for 10 lbs this challenge, which is doable. I am finally in that zone that I wasn't in for the first month!

I would like to log miles too. My goal is to finish with 100 miles per week (I'm starting with 80 miles per week right now). I don't know about others, but I count road miles as one mile and my mountain biking miles as 2 miles. Unless it's a really easy ride, which they usually aren't. I figured this out because it works out timewise.

So the short of it: Start: 187 Goal: 177 (lose 10 lbs) Goal Mileage: 100 miles per week by the end.

JL! Focus on the miles and the pounds are incidental. I know you are having a hard time finding a place to ride because your roads are busy but don't give up. Like I told myself this first challenge that I would be the only gal riding 80 miles per week and weighing 197. Uhm. I'm now 187. So now I'm shooting for a goal of 100 miles per week (700 miles total for the challenge) by the end of the challenge. So there is my pep talk for the day. Gotta get going and mtn bike, sigh...only one day left of my long week off !

I didn't get a chance to log my stuff yesterday, we were gone all day and I forgot. I hope I can still be included.

My starting weight 240 ugggg it hurts me to type that.

My goal - lose 10 lbs in 8 weeks so it would be 230

I would like to initially log more miles on the bike, about 60 miles a week and gradually make it more throughout the process. That doesn't sound like much, but I don't want to add to much cause then if I don't suceed, I will give up.

I need to incorporate some strength training and will make that a goal, but haven't anything to do that with right now.

Also, on the days I cannot ride I will get on the tread mill for at least 30 minutes.

Count me in this time. I will post my weight tomorrow morning because I forgot to weigh myself this morning. Looking forward to another challenge!
