July/August weight loss challenge

**bunny_ninja** · 08-26-2010, 07:04 AM

oh my! that is awesome! When I was a teen, racing... I actually became too thin to race well. The bigger girls has me on the hills. I went from being the best to... well... a victim of my own weight issues.

AWESOME, CATRIN!!! 50 pounds in 10 months! When you break it down to 5 pounds a month, it doesn't seem too daunting. That's a very healthy pace to lose the weight.

Congratulations!!

I have started to lose weight again, was at a plateau for a few months. Am trying to figure out how to fuel my body for endurance to assure that I've the calories I need without eating too much. I've been in weight-loss mode for long enough that it is really hard for me to eat more than 1500 calories on a non-long-ride day - but I think I need to in order to stabilize my weight.

Thanks for the congratulations - a short year ago I didn't dream that I would ever see this weight again

Catrin- way to go! You have done amazing things in the last year.

Good luck on managing your maintenance weight- it is always a little confusing.

154.4 this morning. I need to focus for the rest of the challenge until 9/2!

207.8 for me this morning. I have completely fallen off the wagon for this challenge. But as of last week, I've started picking up the training again. Just need to get back on track with the eating too now. I have high hopes for the next challenge, but have given up on this one.

125.6 today

Catrin, that is awesome! Congratulations! I'm at 132.5 this morning so not heading in right direction but it's pretty darn simple: exceeding WW points + not enough riding = wrong direction. Started off right this morning with a great ride on a beautiful NE morning so determined that this week will be better. I need to stop letting work get in the way of my riding time!

Huff & Puff:
Hudson? I bike through there on the weekends!

I have my loop that involves going from 117 (bolton?) to 85 to 16 (Milford -- but sometimes I take a shortcut to my mom's from Hopkington to Holliston)

There are never any cyclists on 85 - so if you see one on a Saturday -- that's me! (if there is a person with a camelbak, a black bike, black Sidi's, and white helmet)

229.4

damn

**GLC1968** · 08-27-2010, 09:12 AM

152 - wah!

My digestive system has not been normal since the Crater Lake Century, for some reason. I did take my measurements and my bodyfat yesterday, and it's down (21%...getting there!)...so this isn't fat. It's just frustrating.

**azfiddle** · 08-27-2010, 10:48 AM

110.8 After weeks around 112.

I think I'm a little dehydrated and wouldn't be surprised to see it go back up again. On the other hand, I did ride 66 miles on the weekend, and 37 during the week so far, and have been pretty good about keeping OP with Weightwatchers.

Have a good and healthy week.

Keep running, swimming & biking.
Keep eating "clean"
Limit wine intake
