May & June - Weight Loss Challenge

[Mr. SR500]

Can I join? I've been working hard to drop from my post-holiday high.

192.4 lbs this morning.

Maybe you guys can kick my butt into dropping another 12 lbs.

My overall goal is 180, but I don't know if I can do that in 7 week. So short term goal would be 185.

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...

[Fujichants]

150 lbs this morning! Yay. Hopefully I can keep this up

[GLC1968]

Hey guys!

I'm at 168.2...exactly the same as last week. I'm actually pretty pleased with that since I've been eating like there's no tomorrow!! Thankfully, there's been enough biking in there to keep the damage down.


Welcome to all the new people to join our group! I've added you all to the chart and as soon as most people have posted their weigh-in, I'll post an updated chart.

Came back to add: There are now 27 of us! Woohoo!!

[Fujichants]

Oh yeah, my goal for this challenge is to weigh 145 lbs.

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

[gnat23]

Oops, looks like I missed the initial weigh-in, but is it possible to still get in?

I'm trying to figure out how increasing my mileage made me put on 6 pounds, and it's NOT muscle for sure. Oh wait, yes, that whole "I've earned beer" mindset.

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.
