July/August Weight Loss Challenge

[greyfeather]

Hello everyone.

Now: 134
By September: 125

I've been at 134 for more than a month now. I've returned to cycling after slacking off for a year and have been riding 5 times a week and limiting calories. Nothing much has changed on the scale -- it went down for a few days then back up and seems to be stuck there.

So it's nice to hang out with y'all and feel inspired.

Woops! Forgot to send you my official Friday-weight:

225 lbs.

(at least my scale is more forgiving than my doc's...however, I can REALLLLY fluctuate...)

((sigh))...okay, I did it. Now I'm committed. I darn well better get to bed NOW so I will feel like doing the long ride in the morning!

174.5###. Yippee. So far 51.5#. Another maybe 20# to go.

New to the forum - just ordered a new bike, can't wait to get it! - and it's great to see a weight loss challenge, just what I need!

So I was 185lbs last Friday and would like to get to 174lbs by September 2nd - then I'd just be overweight and no longer obese, haha! Over the past 18 months I've lost 60lbs I had put on through illness and medication (and eating too much of course ;P) and still have about 40lbs to go.

Look forward to following everyone's progress!

I would love to join the challenge. I need some sort of motivation. I gained 30 pounds about two years ago and I'm desperate to lose them. I bought my bike in May and I lost about 5 pounds right off but can't seem to keep the momentum.

I weighed in at 145 on Friday (and still today). My September 2nd goal is 134. I'm dying to get into the 120's eventually but I want to set a reasonable goal.

149.8 this morning a step in the right direction I suppose...

Also, why do Wiggle keep sending me free Haribo with my cycling orders? I think they're mocking me

117.4 - whew- finally seeing the downward trend. It helps with the motivation.
