speedy, I'm a wicked lurker, but I want in (tough skin). I started in December but didn't tell anyone. can you add me? my stats (starting weight in december).

Female, 28 y/o

ht 5'4.75"

Start weight: 135.5

Now weight (today): 130.2

body fat: ouch. I taped over that section on the scale. can't face it yet.

goal by April 15th: 120

long term: 118

I've got a pretty small frame..tired of carrying around far too many grad school "moment on the lip" lattes and "I feel bad for me" JPLicks . Off I say!

As a lurker, you must know the price of admission to our exclusive little challenge.....

Reward, dire consequence & a blank chq (Signed & payable to Paul Gonsalves)

The site has been updated & you're in the Blue Zone

reward: yummy new bike wheels and a killer pair of jeans

dire consequence: I can think of so many. Here goes the top 4..in ascending order of loathsomeness.

1.Getting into Lake Winnepesaukee before June 15th without a wetsuit. period.even 10 seconds is torture I tell you.

2. Running the Boston Marathon as a Bandit (horrors) No gear bus.

3.Riding (snowboarding) all day without getting to go inside from lift opening to closing( I live in New England yet loathe the cold..does it show?).

And the worst thing I can possibly think of? A solid week on the erg (concept2) 2 hours a day..I rowed in college and I used to get sick to my stomach thinking about winter training...starting in August. I HATE it! considering that the closest erg I have right now is in the gross basement of the YMCA facing a mildew covered wall in a weight room populated with convincts...losing the weight seems like a solid choice

Blank check? you can have it but you probably won't draw much out :p

Will you make me public? spreadsheets just put it right up there in your face. love it.

Great reward!!! You will have to post pics of the yummy jeans. Oops, yummy wheels.

Great consequences as well.

You are now public, check out www.rollingthundercanada.com

HEY! Put me back in red...don't want to go getting lost in a sea of blue. As much as blue is appealing...I need the red zone.

Liberal Red it is :-)

I predict you'll be 189 lbs next Monday !!!

Don't make me look bad now.

Ugh. Stuck at 192. Can someone check if my scale is working?

Ken

I'll have a technician over right away to check on your scale. Good news is, you're still in Blue :-)

Based on the 1 lb / per week original challenge guideline, you have to lose 1.31 lbs per week for the remaining 13 weeks to beat the challenge. What was your reward & consequence again?

Gidday Speedy

208 lb again this week. Nothing lost but nothing gained. The scales said a 1% decrease in body-fat though. So, I guess that's one small consolation. I go totally derailed yesterday at the San Francisco Fancy Food Show where I ate every bit of chocolate and cheese in sight. Back to the paleo way of eating today.

Cheers, Paul

sorry bout that- I was traveling on Monday, didn't get to a scale until today. I would love to lie, but Im still 126 :( Keep me in red, please. It's only fair.

Sorry, I'm late checking in this week. I stayed the same this week: 167.

:(

Time is running out. I need to have a really good week coming up. Oh, and I'm also from Toronto.

D.

You're in the RED lol

Well, seeing as my weight-loss buddy Sojourner dropped out of the contest, I'm going to find some new ones...

Let me get back to you on those...

unless someone has some good ideas? ;)

A late posting for my Monday results .... 183 lbs. ... down 2 from Last week!

Check Manna's rewards/consequences. She has some of the best, if not the best ideas yet.
