    I'm in too. My goal will be to maintain since this is my travel season (I leave on Sept 11 and I am not home for good again until the end of October) AND we are moving and listing our house in the next two months too. Oy!

    I don't know my current weight since I completely spaced on a weigh-in this weekend, but I'm going to set my goal for Nov 2nd as 147.

    Thanks!

    I'm going to try this again as maybe we'll start getting some cooler weather in October and I'll be able to get a bit more aerobic exercise in. September I'll be happy just to maintain, honestly. It's still killer hot here -- lows around 82-83F.

    Goal weight: 104

    Current weight 106.5 (not bad after a 16-day trip to the US with MANY indulgences!)

    Thanks!

    I'm in. Lost ten over the summer, so this would be the next step (right before marathon training first week of November.)

    Current weight 09/05/12: 136
    Goal weight 11/02/12: 128

    That would be a pound a week.

    After that, would love to maintain 128-130 for the foreseeable future.
    I can do five more miles.

    I want to go with today's weight since the next two days won't be the norm:

    Weight on 9/5: 129.8
    Desired weight: 125

    As I get decrease my body fat percentage I will start to consider how low is reasonable. I will also be working this winter to build muscle - I am actually more concerned with changing my body composition than seeing how low I can go. Those seem contradictory goals - but I am also only 5'3...

    OK
    official starting weight: 104.4
    Goal: (this is kind of vague) consistent weight of 103-104 every day.
    Although the upper end of my weight range (107) is lower than when I started the challenge in January, (it was 110), I just want it to be more even every day. I do eat more on the weekends, and I'm probably not going to stop eating out, but I was able to moderate my choices last winter.
    Does this make sense? I've come to the conclusion it's easier for me to maintain my weight when it's not the peak of the cyling or x country ski season.

    Congratulations on breaking 130!

    I am in for the challenge. I have gained four pounds since I got to my goal of 104 last January. I am without a scale though during a trip so weighing in will be irregular. Yesterday I left for the trip and I weighed 108. Goal is 104.

    Emily, I know the fluctuations aren't bad, but I did have a period of pretty good stability for a couple of months. Well, Friday is usually my lowest weight of the week, so I guess that's good for the challenge. I'm just tired of having to exercise so much to keep my weight where I want it. I certainly won't starve myself, and it's not like I don't want to ride or do other stuff, but for just once, I would like to be a "regular person." Of course then, I would weigh at least 20 pounds more than I do now.
