Might as well put it in here....
Post your name, pounds to lose and how many you have lost....copy and paste and change when you weigh in. This is a great motavator, and support system. I used the info from the "other" thread for this. If you dont want to be in this...copy paste take your name off, If there are any mistakes, copy paste and correct....if you want to join...copy paste add your name to the list.
I went with the names on the "other thread". This is only a 30 day challenge...and will end on April 18th. If this works well we can do it again.

I'm in.........Lord knows I need all the motivation I can get!!! Have put on 15 lbs just since holidays......30 lbs. in last 16 months since I got my student engineer card!!!

I even bought a bottle of that HydroxyCut last week and have been trying it.....STILL putting on weight!! I'm in full fledged CRISIS mode at this point!!

257 now

Would like to be down to 220-225 by NeXXt. Thanx for formalizing this/putting it together Anna!!

No problem....challenges like these are very motavating....I find them helpful.

I'm going to use the 225 goal...

How often are we going to "officially" weigh in Anna? 'Cause my weight fluctuates several pounds daily

The best bet, is to go weekly. Some people weigh in daily and at the end of the week get an average....but that is too much trouble, and I dont recommend that because the little scale fluctuations will frustrate the hell out of you.

I usually weigh myself on Fridays....and if Im feeling daring,,,,or feel like Ive lost some, I'll weigh in.

Weigh yourself only in the morning....after you pee...you weigh the least in the morn. You weigh the most in the evening.

Hope this helps!

Forgot to add. You can post a loss whenever you want....if you find that you lost a half pound....post it! Any loss is progress...some people have scales that measure ounces...if you lost 4 oz....post it. Any loss wether its big or small is progress and recording it will give you the satisfaction of an acomplishment!

I would join the fray but I don't expect to lose much more weight if any. I will post my day 1, 30, 60, 90 pics though just to keep me motivated. I have about two weeks before I hit day 90. I haven't had the most amazing results but there is some change. I'm ready to finish up this program and start doing some heavier strength training to build some muscle.
Good luck, everyone.

I'm in. Thanks for starting this Redd. I need some motivation after I gained 2lbs. after I faultered during my daughter's 11th b-day party. I ate everything in site .

Including this...

Here's my new stats...

Obby--------->15lbs----------(15lbs)--------0 lbs lost-------- 225lbs.------- 210lbs.

Christ, I'd participate, but I have more weight to lose than Dave!

When I got out of the Corps, I was 220. Ten years later I'm 318. I'd love to get down to 220 again, but dunno if that's likely.

Welcome aboard everyone!. Oh gawd....that cake looks good.....I would have caved for that myself. Everyone is welcome weather you have 5 pounds or 500 pounds to lose! I look forward to seeing your progress Brett!

I might as well get some support with this. Got cleared to go back to working out by the MD friday. Today's the first day in the gym, and on the treadmill in 8 months. AND, I'm going to try and run the 1/2 marathon in Nashville at the end of April with JuXXtin. (Although that buff dude is going to do the whole thing- Go Justin) So, it usually has come off pretty fast in the past. Put me down for 50 lbs. by TBME. 15 lbs. in the 30 days. (Yes, it's short, but I'm seriously over load limit, and it came off really fast the first time this happened and stays off as long as I'm working out.)

Also, thanks to Redd for getting this started!!! I hope to be lookin' damn fine by neXXt!!!

Put me in I've been stuck at 178 now for a few weeks. This is the motivation I need


Airbornexx 8 lbs. --------> (8 lbs.)--------> 0 lbs. lost

I was 192 after christmas 178 lbs. now, 170 goal


Although I could be 177, I didn't poop yet

Wooohooo. I feel I separate table at the pasta dinner coming on! This is Justin's first, and my first run in over a year. We have to get together! Let's make plans a little closer. How are you adding weight loss to your training? I find both heavy dieting and excercise at the same time tough.

Yup. Let's discuss some details as the date approaches...

Currently, I am only training for the half marathon, so I am closely watching what I am eating (I am on Weight Watchers) and running. The benefit of Weight Watchers is that they give you extra points for working out and I track everything online so it's cheap and easy. However, I do agree that it does get VERY difficult to diet while training hard. When I am training for a marathon (I've done 2) or a longer distance triathlon, then I don't limit myself. I cut out a lot of foods that my body doesn't agree with like fast food and pop, but I still eat pretty much what I want because I am burning so many calories. Basically, I would recommend keeping a good balance of food intake, watch your portions, drink PLENTY of water, and try to eat a little slower. Remember that you can't be on a low-carb diet because as an endurance athlete your body needs the carbs. Sorry for the long winded answer. I hope it helps, but to sum it all up - I haven't exactly figured it out yet either!!!

I will take this challenge as well.. Thanks HRgirl for linking this thread

I will try to loose 20lbs...

weigh in at 235lbs now butt naked..

see how I do in a month

Adding another one to the bunch.
Im going to weigh in sometime near the end of the week....I was a bad girl this weekend . My defenses get knocked down when I drink...had a few gin and tonics this weekend, and the next thing I know I'm eating chocolate covered marshmallows!

This is going to be great. I was thinking of eating something that I shouldn't, but I checked in here and changed my mind. It's as if you're all watching me

I did that this weekend!

I was thinking to myself.....Man, they are gonna be disapointed Im eating this chocoate covered marshmallow.

I promise....I wont do it again.

Let's get a WOOT WOOT for HRgirl! Congrats on the loss.
The game is on! Im taking you down!

Holy racing schedule! Good luck with all of them. I was a cross country runner in high school, but dont run anymore, I did attend alot of races before I had so many kids! But always was there with my massage table giving a warm up pre-race and post race massages to the atheletes.

Hmmm....I think I'll choose neXXt!




You bringing that massage table to neXXt???

Whaddya mean vacation time? It's a Sunday. Fly out Friday night buy a bicycle Saturday ride Sunday, leave the bike at the airport for some poor foreign kid Sunday night. Back in town for work Monday morning.

Piece of cake... err uh diet thread here uhh slice of apple


DO IT!!!!

Holy cow, Melissa. You're leaping in in a big way this year. Good for you! Anyway, first weight in the AM. Not expecting much here, only started this program on friday, but at least someone else will be posted up.

See ya in the morning.

Duane

P.S. ride Philly- it's a great cause. I'd be there, but it's the other side of the world from here.

DO IT!!!!!!!!!

Yup. I have been doing triathlons and running races for the last 3 years or so, but this will be the first summer where I don't have any other obligations, so I decided to go all out! I will have plenty of time to train and I'm so excited!!!

Good luck with the weight in. I'll be waiting to see if I'm still running in first...

Also, did you see where I live???? Philly is not exactly close for me either, so I won't be there. Maybe neXXt year???

You need to come to Philly. It will give these guys an added incentive to volunteer for motorcycle support

I have a volunteer meeting tonight, so I'll put you in as a rider

Down 2.4- probably water, but we live in hope!

Woo-hoo!!! Another loss!!! Well done!!!

I'd love to drop 10-12 Lbs before June(wedding). I don't loose weight easily at all. I can get though the day eating one small meal( I know, I'm supposed to have a bunch of small meals) as it is, but I'm just about to start a workout program. 3 days of weights and 2 days of cardio(swimming laps). Unless I get the workout program going, I'll never drop any weight.
At 5'11"&1/2 ....210lbs.... loose 34" waiste.........44 inch chest........17.5" neck.

I have not been under 200 lbs in the last 12 years. And when I did dip below 200, I had the flu and had not eaten in almost a week. If I have any success, I'll post the results.

I'll put you on the list.

Eating like that can cause your metabolism to basically shut down. You need to eat consistently to keep your metabolism from going into conservation mode. Eat small meals and have small healthy snacks in between. You need to watch calories but at the same time you need to make sure you are eating enough. This will be especially important when you start working out.

Down 2 lbs this morning just from eating better the last few days (less junk and not late). Too busy with all my spare time in the garage lately, but have to get started running and to gym if I'm going to lose what I want to lose.

My official weigh in:
6:00am the 20th I weighed 237.6 naked (not a pretty sight)
6:00am the 24th I weighed 230 with PJ pants.

Woo-F'n-Hoo 7.6 lbs down in a week. Next week will be tougher as my weight approaches my goal.

Kind of late into this but I was 300 begining of January now 286.

Just changing my eating habits (don't eat everything in sight at meals) I'm not even working out. I might start riding (bicycle )when it warms up.

I'm not even setting a goal, just going to keep losing as fast as it goes.

Updating the stats. Congrats to all the losers!
I weighed in this morning.....and I'm up a half pound from last week. Fricken water weight.

Official Friday morning weigh in..........257.6

Activity this week..........played basketball for better part of an hour Monday night in my son's "Parent/Son Scrimmage" for their last practice of the season. Ran couple miles (1/2 hour) 3 or 4 times this week. Passed on several bad food choices 'cause of you guys , but still had other snacks even though I knew you were watching!!! Plus I've been taking that HydroxyCut

All in all
