July/August weight loss challenge

[Possegal]

Well, it actually goes a wee bit into September for it's 8 weeks of challenge.

Let me know
(1) if you want to join in
(2) what your weight is today 9 July
(3) what your goal weight is for 3 September - if you want to, if you don't want to set a goal like that, then no worries.

This is all about helping each of us and whatever helps you the best is just A-OK by me.

Hopefully this link works - let me know if it doesn't.

please count me in for another round. 204 this morning and my goal for the challenge is 195 (a little too optimisitc perhaps, but I'll give it a go)

[Catrin]

Please count me in this time - my current weight is 135.8 and my goal is 130. That is probably optimistic but goals are good

New high weight :-/

Starting weight = 133
goal weight = 125

[abejita]

I am in again too! Today's weight is 135 and I have a goal weight of 127.

Thanks!

[GLC1968]

Count me in, please.

Today: 155.0

Goal for Sept 3rd: 145

This works out really well for me as Sept 2nd is the last day of another summer long challenge that I'm doing, so I'm extra motivated to meet this goal. Let's do this!!

[Jones]

178. I'm going to go see a diet Dr. lecture tomorrow, I hope it motivates me to do something different.

[huffandpuff]

132 this morning. Goal is 115ish. Will be happy if I can lose 2 lbs this month. Have lost 15 so far in last year - slow but staying off!

[DebSP]

Current = 149
Goal = 139

[bambu101]

Count me in again.

Start- 186.0
Goal- 175

[Blueberry]

I'd like to be in this time too - and hopefully I'll be able to stick with it this time (I've been messing with mixing up eating/exercise to try to get something working - it's so frustrating!).

Yesterday: 224
Goal: 210

Thanks so much for your continued patience in doing this - it really helps, and I really appreciate it!!

[Possegal]

I'd really love to do this again.

I biked and swam all last fall and I was in fantastic shape for it. Then winter came and I was just swimming-- I fell in love with swimming and didn't get back on my bike.

However! I gained about 8 lbs in that time... went from 148 to 156 time to get back on the bike! I get so frustrated with myself-- I can be in the midst of amazing training and being in wonderful shape and then slowly fall off the bandwagon. I'm working hard and have been for the last few weeks... lifting weights every three days and then walking at least 1-2 hours per day 5 days a week or so.

Tomorrow, I will get back on the bike for the first time this year. I've been leg pressing 160 lbs + body weight though so hopefully I haven't lost any leg strength!

I guess last fall I probably just burned myself out swimming 45 minutes every morning and then biking 50-100 miles a week on top of a demanding job and other school activities. Le sigh. Back to work!

Starting weight 156. Goal weight 150.

I'm back Almost 5 weeks of travel this summer made it challenging to stay on track, even though I have ridden over 400 miles and done a lot of walking while traveling. I am back up to 115.6 and would like to get back to 111 or less by the end of the challenge.

Thanks for being here- and I hope everyone does well through the next couple of months.

I got off track the last time I signed up for this--yikes, back in Sept/Oct--but I'm glad to see that I'm down from 164 back then).

Hoping to do better now . . . starting at 156.2, aiming for 150.

thx!
