That's Right - Everything unwanted pound must go - Percentages of Fat - Slashed - Numbers on Scales - markedly down - Performance Up

who wants to take advantage of this stored caloric clearance ??? Now through the first day of Spring - March 21

11 Weeks - My target is 15 lbs for that time - Ended the year at 223 so looking at 208 for the first day of Spring (interesting I think there is a 10k here that day)

Ended the last weigh in at 185.

I am at about the same my goal is 175 for the first day of spring.  I have been struggling with getting into the 170's for almost a year and a half now, I have come close but never hit it.

Kind of loose - Accountability - Support and posting on this message string. You pick the weigh day that works for you.

I am starting the year at 223 and I am aiming for 208 by the first day of Spring. I am looking at a Wednesday Weigh in. (kind of a continuation of the Christmas count down)

I'm in again.

Ended the year at 366.6. Goal is to be at least under 350 on March 21.

Wednesday is my WW's weigh-in day, so that's when I'll be posting again.

I am in again. I lost a total of 4 pounds last time. That is a 10th of my goal! My HIM is March 28th so this will work out nicely.

No.. I am not posting my actual weight, but I will do weight loss. I am minus 3 pounds from the first of the year. Let's keep the ball rolling!

Okay
223 on Dec 31st - On Jan 7 218.6 - basically the gain from the Christmas party/Christmas splurges. Now the work begins. If I can keep away from the Peanut Butter and sugary carbonated caffeinated beverages (read rockstar, mtn dew, dr pepper) it should help immensely

Well... It's all Mike's and Robin's fault... cuz I'm taking another whack at this

Okay, I ended the year at 257.5. I was up for Nov-Dec, but it did count for a 2.5 loss for last year. Yeah, it sucked. My goal for this year is a slow and steady 26lbs, or .5lb/week. Since this is an 11-week challenge, I'm looking for 5.5lb. I'll stick with my usual Sunday AM weigh-ins, except for 3-21 of course.

I'm hoping that between ramping up my training to Oly distances and adding in stretching, calesthenics and some yoga will help make a difference.

That made  me snort my coffee!

So.... 2 weeks into my Whole30 plan, I am finding it easier than I thought. It is basically the way I have been eating while removing grains and dairy. (THAT is hard). I may do it for another month. It is hard to judge if I am feeling any better since I am recovering from the flu and still only about 85% strength. Another month should show any benefits along with some more weight loss.

I am in. March 21st is my Birthday so a good way to remember the date. However, I weigh in on Mondays so I will extend it through that weekend. Cut out sugar, grains and starchy vegi's on Dec 29th and made a quick drop. Energy levels are a bit low at the moment but I am bouncing back and adjusting.

Goal: Sub 200

Beer...it's been a good run but we are going to have to part ways for a short while. It's not you, it's me, I promise. For now I think it's best that we just remain friends and I will call you in a few months after I have had time to get some things in my life in order. Love you

Same quote for me for wine! Maybe Beer and Wine can console each other in our absenses.

I would like to get in here too. Name is Ron and I usually do better at losing the weight when I am in a group or challenge, something about being accountable to others I guess. I am coming off an injury that really reduced my running miles late summer an into the fall. I managed to pack on 15 pounds. I will not say goodbye to my friend beer until the spring but we will not be enjoying each others company as much. I do have my son's wedding in two weeks, heading to Florida which is where he lives. I am hoping I do not go up to much the 5 days we will be there.

December 31st I was 159 and I am looking to get 145 by March 21st and 135 by April 19th. So that is 14 pounds by spring.

January 7th 158.

I'm in!!

After my accident last year, I gained some weight pretty quickly, and while rehabbing I got rid of a little, gained some muscle, but now want to lean out a little more again.

I bounce between 186-188 most mornings lately, would be nice to get to the mid 170s

I've got a sprint in May, so I don't want to spend too long losing weight, or do it too quickly, as I need to build up the lost speed! :p

I'm joining this party (or lack there of) my friends are both beer and wine.  I know they have no place if I want to meet my goals.

I would like to join. I'm a newbie, doing my first sprint in July. I had a baby last winter and am still trying to get back to pre-baby shape. 20 pounds to go. I had hoped to be back in shape by her first birthday, but that's in two weeks so not going to happen.

I'm training for a marathon also (May), so the tri stuff is good cross training. I was a swimmer in high school, the cycling is going to be the challenge. More specifically, not strangling my cyclist husband when he gives well-intentioned but completely over my head advice will be a challenge. And sitting on the saddle for 18 miles. Things don't feel quite the same way down there that they did pre-baby.

Welcome! I hear you on the advice from the spouse. I try to pretend like I am grateful when mine does that. I am pretty sure he is not fooled

I'm in too!

On the first of the year I set a goal of losing 24lbs (from 164 to 140). I have lost 4 in the last 10 days and I am giving myself 10 weeks to lose the remaining 20lbs.

When I first started to see some good results in triathlon I was 144lbs and running much faster than I am today...over the past two years I have put on 20 lbs despite nearly year round training (ironman, and marathons included). I would guess some of this weight is probably muscle and I still see what I think are decent race results but they could be A LOT faster if I could get my run down to a faster pace again.

It will be nice to have some support along the way!

One of my HS friends lives in Asheville. Gorgeous country. I used to drive through once a month when I had to go to Charlotte for training. I despise I-40 between Knoxville and Asheville tho.

mmkay, let's get this started:
4-Jan: 257.5
11-Jan: 263.5 (+6). I don't know. I'm really hoping the batteries in the scale are dying as it was acting weird.
