May/June weight loss challenge

[abejita]

Count me in. I have been stuck in a stall for a couple months now. I am getting smaller (I've lost pant sizes) but no weight. I am currently 146 with an ultimate goal of 120-125. My goal is to loose 8 lb in the next 8 weeks.

I also started the couch to 5K program last week, if anyone is interested in joining me. I am so not a runner, but I wanted something to do during the winter when I am not cycling.

Count me in again! Goal weight: 149

Thanks so much for keeping this going, Possegal. You rock!

Count me in. 172 this morning. Goal weight is still what it says on my drivers license, 135. I don't want to get pulled over and not have valid id.

Thanks for doing this! Like many I've focussed only on how I feel. perform on the bike and how my clothes fit. That got me from a size 20 relaxed fit with elastic waistband to size 12 jeans ... at the same weight . So that was all muscle, right? Now I think it's time to actually look at the weight as well.

[abejita]

Your right about body composition...it is a bit weird. I also went from 20 also to a size 6 now. I weigh 145. The last time I weighed 145, I was in a size 12!

Yep, it is funny. I'd rather be fat and fit any day than thin and out of shape.

The year I got down to size 12 the changes were dramatic. I was training for my 2nd AIDS Lifecycle ride. I'd struggled on my first. Coach Spazzdog suggested I add weight training and intervals to the mix (who knew you need that to ride for a week? Everyone). The inches melted off. I was buying new jeans as fast as I could donate the old ones. My weight stayed the same.

Now it's all for the knees, and health in general but especially my gimpy grumpy arthritic joints. In any shape or form they need the weight off.

I'm in. I need accountability. I want to lose 10 lbs, to get down to 150 and stay there. I know I'm fit, but if I cut out the snacking and eating the boys' leftovers (I hate to see stuff go to waste!!!) I think it'll help. Time to start tracking my food/calories again on LoseIt on my iPhone.

I'm in! Current weight was (oof) 157 this morning. I'd like to get to 145.
