July/August weight loss thread

[Possegal]

Another two month period for us to keep track of our progress and encourage each other. This one will take us from our first weigh in this Friday (or whatever day works best for you) 10 July to the 28th of August.

So let me know here if you are in for the next 8 weeks and what your goal for the 28th is. Then at the end of the week, let me know your starting weight.

I'll set up a second page with measurements if wanted, though there didn't seem to be overwhelming interest. But I can set it up ( I think it would be too much for the same page as the weights) for those that are interested. Just let me know what measurements you are looking to track.

[Reesha]

Sign me up! The goal is 148.

If you do measurements, I will gladly record mine each week. If you decide not to, it's cool. I can put them on post-its all over the wall behind my desk

[Blueberry]

I'm in!! I'll pass on the measurements, though. I'm not quite ready for that.

Goal: 199

Oops, I accidentally posted in the last thread.

My new July/Aug goal: 187
But my REAL goal is to get out of my maternity pants!

[Possegal]

No problem. I've looked through that thread and hopefully caught everyone that said something there about the next 2 months.

[VeloVT]

sorry Possegal, I did the same thing (posted in the old thread).

Start weight 139, goal 130.

I'm ready to rejoin this thread!

my first few attempts were failures coz life was always interfering.
Now i have a proper schedule at work so I am trying to fit more cycling into my routine. So here I am again.

My goal is 143lbs (my weight last year May. Now I'm at about 150lbs. sigh)

I need to state my goals here.

sleep early (before midnight)
wake up early (5.30am)
morning ride before rush hour (6.00-7.00)
go to work early to do grading and stuff
bring less work home (better if none at all)
spend less time on the internet
sleep early

Keep 'em coming folks. No problem, I enjoy helping out and since my job=at a computer all the time, it is a nice little break from my day to go in and update.

So on another thread someone recommended livestrong.com and thedailyplate. I signed up and today was the first day I tracked everything. I really like it. I'm seeing things in black and white there that I guess I knew, but I'm still shocked by. I'm hoping that I'll be able to make some changes since I really don't like seeing bad things in black and white like that. Though I was back at the Dr today over this asthma cough that is hanging on going on 7 weeks now. Oh it makes me tired and lazy and miserable. Today I'm in full on whine mode.

My goal this time is 240

[Pan Dulce]

I'll go in!

Current weight : 139
Goal weight : 125

[Jones]

I'm in, I'll set my goal weight when I weigh in on Friday. I'm going to go look at livestrong.com for calorie counting, I'm hoping that if I keep better records I'll get better results.

[Mistie]

Goal: 140 lbs
Current Weight: 147.5 lbs
I have to be at 140 lbs by Aug. 23 or (SIGH) I will be on insulin. My (mostly wonderful) doc says that I "have to show real progress for me to believe you when you say 'I am not a diabetic', otherwise, you are in denial."

[martinkap]

Hi Possegal!

Can I get in? I was 158lbs this morning and I am hoping to be close to 149lbs at the end (I know, that is probably not attainable). I'll weight myself on Friday again.

thank you,

Martina
