  • Hi everyone.

    So I weigh in on Mondays, but I'm waiting until Fridays to post as that is quite far in advance!

    I lost 1lb :)

    So down to 164lbs, which I'm happy about because I've lost the 7lbs that I gained in about 2-3 weeks during exam stress! Now, I'm back to my "normal" weight from where I can start shifting these stubborn lbs!

    Good luck to everyone with WI!

    Nice work so far everyone! Mandy - starting next week I'll weigh in on Friday's as it will work out better for my trip during July and when I can weigh in. This way I'll be on the same schedule as most of the group. Thanks!

    Happy Saturday All! Hope you are all doing well! Rode 19.64 miles on the bike this morning. Now I need to go put my BBQ Grill together so I can cook up some good food this weekend! Have safe holiday weekend!

    I have five of eleven first week weights reported as of today... am waiting on a few more to update our Week 1 weigh-ins.

    I am super stoked that I managed to stay under my calorie goal yesterday, since it was the first of day of a nine day long visit from my dad. And, man, my family LOVES to eat! But I got the exercise in yesterday and today. Did Week 4, Day 1 of C25K this morning - was hard but I got it followed by another 2.5 miles of walking. I am feeling good about my resolve this holiday weekend. Instead of our normal cake for tomorrow, we are making "watermelon star cakes." Just cut a star shape out of watermelon and top with blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries with fat-free whipped topping for a refreshing July 4th treat!

    So inspired by the exercising I see logged even over the holiday. What a better way to spend some time off, right?
    Good luck everyone and happy Independence Day!

    It is super tough to stay on track when the family is visitng! My inlaws are visitng this week and they are very supportive of me and ask if I eat what they are eating, or am making my own! Tonight I grilled pork loin for the family and made chicken for me because I had leftover homemade pizza for lunch! Anyway, I am hoping to get another 10 mile road in tomorrow if possible, hopefully my butt and legs can handle it! Enjoy the holiday if you're off work everyone and stay safe!

    Thanks Mandy for posting the weigh-ins!

    Wow Dave! Good job on the miles!

    So glad there are no holidays till Sept because it is hard to not eat the bad stuff on those out door BBQs! I did pretty well this weekend though...I of course had to have a hamburger : )

    Have a good Wednesday everyone!

    Am not looking forward to tomorrows weigh-in. I took two days off the gym this week (4th and 5th) and ate a lot. Sigh.

    Weigh in is tomorrow again!? I am going to need to step it up, with more cardio, maybe actually go for a run! lol It is hard now with my son home from school, I am thinking of getting him some good running shoes and having him join me for couch 2 5k. He does want to run faster and longer for next years cross country.

    Yep - tomorrow is our next weigh-in already! The week flew by for me, especially with the holiday. I was doing really well, but I had some slip-ups on my calorie intake with various BBQs and family in town. But I am super-proud that I continued to stay on track with my C25K and I have now completed week 4. Hope the scale is nice to me tomorrow. Frankly, I would be happy to have maintained my weight and I can put the holiday far behind me...
    As always, post your weight here OR send it to me directly. I'll update the spreadsheet by tomorrow evening on the website:

    Good luck everyone!

    Hey everyone! My weight this morning was 268 (down 3 lbs, yeah!). I know we've all been working hard and am extremely happy that I was able to lose over the holiday weekend. I'll be leaving for a week long vacation tomorrow which will invovle a lot of eating, but also a lot of biking and swimming. If I maintain I'll be super happy, if I lose weight that would be awesome.

    Mandy - I won't be able to check in until Sunday July 17th with my Friday 7/15 weight. Just wanted to let you know. Thanks! I'll try to log on during vacation, but won't have internet access unless my phone gets a signal. I will not be tracking my food though, we'll se how that works for me.

    Have a great weekend everyone, I'll talk to you when I get back!

    Sean! Dave! RubyHearts! Chantal! Way to go! I am super excited that I hit 134.5 today - my lowest weight in 19 years! Only lost 0.5 lbs, but totally thrilled about it! I think anybody who made it through the holiday without a gain is definitely a winner in my book. :) I will get all of results updated on the website tonight...
