Team Skinny Summer Solstice Challenge - Inital Weigh-In

Looking forward to this!   

Initial BF:  21.4%

Goal BF:  17%

At current weight, that translates to about a 7# loss, but I'm not sure what the weight will be, and I'm really only concerned with body composition now.

Thanks for all you've done, Jim, and good luck to our new leader!  If I fail to achieve my goal, I reserve the right to place all blame on Brian. 

Start weight: 152 (dangit! I'm up a pound from Wednesday!)
Goal weight:  145

BF%: I need to get this checked at the gym.  Will try to do that this weekend.
BF% Goal: 3% lower than whatever number I get this weekend.

Welcome cordova!  Nice to have you here.  Check out this thread:  http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=69607&posts=6&start=1

which was started today by another brand new member who is also planning on doing the Mountain Man.

Good luck with your training and weight loss!

Brian,

This morning I was riding the trainer, so of course my mind was wandering, and it occurred to me that just tracking body fat percentage might not get me where I actually want to be.  So, I want to change my goal to a net loss of 10 pounds of actual body FAT over the course of this challenge.  I'll calculate each week how I'm coming along for you, and all you'll have to do is enter the results.  Sorry to confuse matters, but that's what I do best, and it's really hard for me to stop. 

Starting weight (March 21): 161.8

Goal weight: 155 (That is a little lower than I was thinking, but hey why not think "small"

Body fat %: Don't know - will try to get it checked at the gym soon

Goal body fat %: I'll go with Electra's idea and say down 2% from whereever I am (don't think I can do 3%)

Go Team SKINNNY!!!!!!!!

Hello Team Skinny,

I'm in for another round! 

Starting weight 145.
Goal Weight 139.9. 

I'm not sure about body fat %.  Thanks for the suggestions about the gym and that BF calculating scale.  Unfortunately, I won't be able to get access to either for a bit.  So, I'm not sure what to do.  But, I hope that I can still be on the team!

Since there's a new person keeping track of our losses (thanks to the people who do this for us!), my name on the team roster is naisqu.  I changed it a couple of months ago, and caused some confusion .
