November/December weight management challenge

[Possegal]

Next two months of our weight management challenge!


Let me know
(1) if you want to join in
(2) what your weight is on Friday the 4th of November (or whatever day works best for you)
(3) what your goal weight is for the 30th of December - if you want to, if you don't want to set a goal like that, then no worries.

I'll post the link to the chart later in the week.

Count me in, 186#, goal is 170#. Thank you

Me too... 164.8... Goal 156

Count me in, I will be out of town for the rest of the week so my official 'weigh in' is 138.6. Goal is 132.

I think I've fallen into a trap these past months. With one injury or another, and work being so busy, my level of cardiovascular exercise has dropped. I've certainly still been riding but not at the same level of intensity. My age is working against me here, and I suspect my metabolism has slowed somewhat and I need to give it a boost.

Time to turn the burners back on for my metabolism. My diet isn't bad at all, though I am tweaking my carb intake and pulling back on the beer for a time. I only have about 3 a week, but one a week will do for now. While I require a high protein diet to keep my blood sugar stable, I suspect that I've been taking in too much for my activity level - too much protein gets stored as fat.

Regardless of the reason for the gain I need to stop this upwards trend NOW or I know what will happen. I am fooling myself by thinking it is fluid retention.

I'd like to participate. I've recently reached my goal weight after having lost a little over 200lbs and could use some camaraderie while I work on maintaining through the colder months (so more gym time, less bike trail) and holidays. I'm playing with some dietary tweaks (finding the common ground between 2 ways of eating that seem divergent but equally appeal to me-paleo/primal and DrFuhrman's ways) so accountability will be a good thing.

I don't remember what it was Friday. It's 117.6 today. I seem to be stuck in this spot, which is about 5 lbs above my goal, though still way below where I started (150) 3 years ago.
