131 #s.

Yesterday, my good friend and traininer partner said "you've lost weght." Oh, happy day!!!

163.8 today. Only a pound or so gained back after coming back from the flu.

Cool, the number on the scale only give you weight, not body composition. Have you had your % BF tested recently?

I haven't had the fat checked, but my mom has one of the hand held devices that I need to borrow. I know they aren't the most accurate, but I think they are consistant. It will be interesting to see how it changes between now and IMCDA.

186lbs...............finally downward.

Training has begun for IMFlorida, let the good times roll.

t~

I'm back in blue, baby! 166 Woo Hoo!!!

It was suggested that I post my rewards/consequences. I'm going for a 15 # loss by the end of April. If I don't get there, then I will race in the cold, cold waters of Milton for the sprint in early June. Brrrrrrrr! (I *do not* want to do that race!) If I do reach it and keep it off, then I'm going shopping for a whole new wardrobe!

Great job to all you losers out there! :)

D.

Cold? The watre was a beautiful 66F last year...c'mon, Cobourg in August only got up to 72F...you should race Milton regardless.

I am at 168. Either lost one pound or none. I have been training and even watching what I am eating! I am getting very frustrated.

I've done it twice and both times were between 58 and 60. As I was getting in the water for a "warm-up" I kept thinking to myself "Why am I putting myself through this torture?". I'm really just a big-old wimp when it comes to being cold. Of course, if our current weather continues, then the water might be a balmy 80 degrees by June!

D.

FYI - If you need cold water accessories let me know. I have cold water swim "Socks", caps & gloves.

Thanks Speedy. Hopefully I won't need them if I reach my goal. :)

204lbs

Thanks for adminstrating this whole thing, it keeps me motivated!!

**All of these words finding themselves together were greatly astonished and delighted for assuredly, they had never met before**

Down to 204 lb this week. That's 4lb lost since last Monday. Down a total of 13 lbs since December 26 when I started this challenge at 217 lbs. Finally I am starting to feel very healthy and what little training I have done (4-5 hours per week) has been a breeze. I am not feeling fit yet - but that will come with a little more exercise :-)

Still eating pretty much only Paleo-friendly foods.

Cheers, Paul C

I'd like to join the challenge.

I'm 5'5" and 183 pounds.

My "dire consequence" is that if I don't lose 30 pounds by July, I won't fit into my tri suits. Since I'm already registered for the Cleveland Triathlon, I'd have to do it in my maternity swimdress because the swimdress is the only large-sized swimsuit I own. (For you men who don't know what a maternity swimdress looks like, here's a link to a catalog picture: http://www.duematernity.com/bohamasw.html )

If I lose the weight, being able to wear my tri suit would be reward enough.



BTW, is there a summary sheet somewhere so we can see what everyone's rewards and consequences are?

---

"Real winners aren't content with yesterday's victories"

Cool, welcome aboard.

Good call on the consequence/reward sheet. I'll see what I can do tonight & have it posted tomorrow.

1/23 196 lbs.

1/30 194.5

Still heading in the right direction.

1/30/06 201 lbs.

this seems to be the weight gain challenge for me, 127 today...but didn't work out all week, BIG exam starting tomorrow, takes precedence...
oh, BF at 29% yesterday ahahhhhhhaahahaha...
BMI 20!!
(anyway, 123 was as low as I was all year, don't think I'll even get back there, especially not if I up the training considerably (makes me gain weight usually))

Mon morn weight: 202. Bad Paul, bad! Good news is that ribs are now officially healed after running half-marathon yesterday pain-free.

Consequence of failure: no hockey tickets until goal reached (which also means less beer and bad food).

Hello Speedy!!

I finally broke the barrier down. The 180+ days are over. Jan 30 weigh in : 179.2!!

I hoep you got the check that I put "in the mail" :-)
