September/October weight management challenge

[indigoiis]

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 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.

128 this morning. Although the scale says I'm heavier, I look and feel skinnier, so I'll take it.

132 this morning. Goal is 128.

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.

Thanks, considering I've been swinging between 133-136 for over a year...well I am happy That was the other day, and I am up today but only 2/10ths of a pound. I am not going to quibble over that - yesterday was unusual which is why I wanted Wed morning to be my official "weigh in" for this challenge.

Have fun on your trip!
