July/August - Weight Loss Challenge

[CLM]

Stayed the same, 179.0
That's not too bad for being out of town all week.

[SpinnerChick]

Last week: 171
This week: 169

Yay

112 miles riding this week, with LOTS of hills. Another 60 or so tomorrow.

I love summer!

This Friday noon (after red eye flight from LV) 164lbs! I am pleased - my vacation with my parents was more draining than I have expected! The weight loss is a nice bonus!

Hi Ladies.

Am I too late to join?? I'd love to participate if that's ok. I broke my foot in May and have been off crutches since mid-June. I got back in the saddle right away, but I can really use some help focusing on some goals. I can never seem to break the 130lb mark, but have just got myself down to 129 .... my goal is to be 125, but to add a lot of strength/muscle between here and there ...

I forgot to weigh yesterday morning so I weighed this morning when I got up. I weighed 138.6, so at least I dropped that extra I put on last week. That had to have been water retention, but thank goodness it's gone. LOL

Yay, I actually lost 1 1/2 lbs this week!! Down to 138.5 lbs. This after another week of little excercise. I have been watching what I eat a little better.

[mupedalpusher]

I'm at 136 this week, that's up a pound. I fluctuate a lot so not a big surprise. Maybe I should have weighed after my ride home in the heat, it felt like I lost several pounds of sweat. We haven't had much summer yet, but the past few days it seems to be coming on strong!

[KerryCrow]

Weighed in on the 18th @ 148.0. Exactly the same. I had been down earlier in the week, but then lost my steam....oh, well.

[TahoeDirtGirl]

Keep me at 186.

Riding miles this week: zero

On a good note I feel almost normal. Didn't I say that last week? Maybe I shouldn't say anything at all. The word on the street is that this 'thing' lasts about 10 to 14 days, so I'm at day 12 here.

Ya know, this really makes you appreciate being healthy and being able to bike. I think I needed that reality check...

[jesvetmed]

Woops! I'm up! 166.2
I seem to be stuck between 164 and 166. Time to move on!

Exercise over last 7 days (Sat - Sat)
SWIM 1.5 hours (one OW clinic)
WEIGHT 20 min
WALK 11 miles
BIKE 18.5 miles
RUN 6.2 miles
YOGA 1.3 hours

Here's to a better week!

Well, I'm up again, but I'm not that upset about it. I'm up to 185.2. I've had a couple of comments from people about how great I look and how much weight I've lost. These are people that don't even know I've taken up biking and am seriously training for my first century. I also discovered today that my new biking shorts I got three weeks ago have gone from being almost too tight around the legs to being just right around the legs and almost too loose around the waist. Whoo hoo!

I rode 82 miles last week which more than makes my weekly goal of 60 miles. Go me!

A bicycle does get you there and more.... And there is always the thin edge of danger to keep you alert and comfortably apprehensive. Dogs become dogs again and snap at your raincoat; potholes become personal. And getting there is all the fun. ~Bill Emerson, "On Bicycling," Saturday Evening Post, 29 July 1967

[CarbonCandy]

It's a little late but, I'm at 177.2 !! And I did just about nothing this week! I did that Late Ride on saturday, which is only 25 miles, I was too tired for the rest of this week! Oh well, I feel satisfied! That makes 2.2 pounds from my goal! Yippie! Although, I feel like I made my goal something super easy because Its only five pounds, but if I was just "dieting" or "giving loosing-weight" a try, I couldn't do it. But If I successfully drop the full 5 pounds to my goal, It will feel like a miracle, because I haven't been in that 175 range in close to 2 years. YAY motivation!

i'm still catching up
but after a week with the inlaws at the cottage, i managed to maintain 106 i am shocked to be honest but happy

Hey all!

I've been basically without my computer since Friday morning, so I'm a bit behind. I'll update the chart at lunch today and post after that...stay tuned!

[Mighty Mo]

I'm so late at checking in. Firiday doesn't seem to work for me. I'm at 193. Can't remember if that is up or down this week!
