May & June - Weight Loss Challenge

[GLC1968]

Here we go!



Anyone is welcome to join - just post here and I can update the chart.

First weigh-in is tomorrow - so get those scales prepped and ready!!

Would I have to get on a scale??

I think I'd be really depressed finding out how much I've gained this last year! but maybe it would be the opposite effect and make me realize how much I need this...and it would be a motivator......hmmmmm.....

ok....I'm IN!!!!


I will be away from the 'puter until Monday..so I'll weigh myself tomorrow but won't be able to send you my starting weight until Monday...will that be oK?

Count me in, again. I'm under even more stress, at work, so I don't know how this will work out. I need to get more serious about this and stop with all the chocolate. It's been slow, but I have lost a little weght since this all started.

I'm in. Hopefully seeing my weight increase will make me want to decrease it (?). Yeah! This will also force me to go to the gym on Fridays, sounds good.

OK GLC: You're my "online" hero. PM and tell me how you got that chart in there?!

I've fallen off the wagon on all of the last two challenges I was in. But now that I'm done with school I have no excuse. And, I tried on my summer clothes last week and they were all too small! Extra motivation.

I'll be weighing in tomorrow morning.

Jes - It's pretty easy, but kind of a pain. I made the chart in excel. Then I select the cells I want and copy them into 'paint'. Then I select the area I want in paint and save it as a .jpg. This allows me to upload it to our server (but any photo sharing site would work) so that I can add it here as a photo.

I figured this out once on another board when I wanted to post a fancy training plan I'd put togther. Every time I tried to go from excel to the internet, it got all messed up. Once it's in a 'photo' it doesn't change when I post it.

I'd like to join too. I've had a very bad health time since late January. Now that my asthma is under control, and the cardiologist gave me the OK to work out (long story I won't bore you all with), I need to get myself in gear as naturally I gained weight over these last few months! Starting weight is 185 and I'd like to try and lose 8 lbs by the end of June. Hopefully more, but I'm trying to not set a goal that ends up depressing me, you know?

I'm still at 195.5 this morning..... I'm not too bummed tho....I did GREAT in the beginning of the week..but then had an anniversary dinner at a Italian restaurant.....AND ordered desert.....so the last 2 days' I haven't done so well.....so I guess better than gaining!

Here's hoping for a better week!!!

181.

Not happy, but okay with it. I ate out every day this week. And I really, truly enjoyed my buttered chicken and nan :-) . . . back to the grind!

I'm having 25 people over for Mother's Day, I'm scanning 101cookbooks.com for some healthy recipes that would be good at a cookout and be yummy enough to keep me away from the bbq and potato salads.

163.5.

Down roughly 2.5 pounds this week! (my scale only measures to the half pound, not tenths, which is annoying) I was careful with my food intake and managed 5 good workouts, so I am pleased.

Oh, and my goal for this challenge is to get to 155.

124 today. pretty sure it's "i'm no longer retaining water this month" weight...

[momofalltrades]

Hi, new to this forum and saw this weight loss challenge. I need some motivation. Can I join in? If so, my starting weight as of today, after breakfast is....154...ugghhh

[Jallora]

I just registered and found this thread. I'm already doing a one week weigh in, so I have last week's weight and this week's. Not that it matters since it hasn't changed even an ounce. I'm at 181.5. My goal is 170.

I'm still at 229. With 2 16 hour days at work, I'm happy with it. My goal is to maintain until after trial, and then work on losing
