    Apolloag, I just wanted to take a moment to tell you "Thank you"! I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this. I for one like seeing how I am doing on a chart with others. It shows that we all have our good & not so good weeks and that that is perfectly normal. Again, thanks. Tim

    I agree!! Thanks Apolloag!!!!

    Hey I just noticed you added me to the chart! Awesome! My weigh-in was yesterday and I was 230.6

    Last week was very motivating for me because I was stuck around 233-235 for a few weeks and finally started to go down again.

    As far as this weeks topic one thing I really want to do when I get down to my goal weight is to buy a lot of clothes. I'll be where I'm at so I won't need to be worried that it is a waste of money. I'm still wearing the same clothes that I was when I was 258 which is kind of sad.

    However today I was at Kmart and saw a good deal on Joe Boxer hoodies for $5.99 so I baught one and it was an eye opener because I've been wearing XXL's and I baught an L today. Sorry long story, but I'm very happy about it :D

    I also want to say thank you bro. As for the prizes, I really don't have anything planned. This challege has helped me find that very competitive edge I used to have while trying to make it to the NFL, and then trying to become a world champion powerlifter..... I actually say that laughing, because I didn't make it to either one, but had a blast trying. So in short, every pound lost is like a reward all itself for me.

    Hey, I'm new but liked the discussion and support I see. I use cetain goals to help motivate myself. About every 10 lbs I have a small prize (massage, new gear for the computer or mountain bike). I also have major goal prizes set for 199 and 185. At 199 I will get a couple pair of sunglasses that I have liked but could not justify the cost. The 185 lb goal was to go skydiving but my wife is now expecting our first child and asked that I don't do that just yet. SO when I do reach the 185 goal it will probably be an adventure trip with zip lines or maybe scuba/snorkel trip. Feel free to add me as a friend on here, all support is welcomed!

    Saw my actual weight on my HOME scale for the first time ever (it will only go to 300).

    Hey guys - I just saw this thread and I just wanted to give you all encouragement. Back in mid-July I weighed in at 264 lbs and was poured into size 42 relaxed fit jeans. I first started to work out using Wii Fit, then I used other Wii exercises and the weight came off gradually. Then at the end of October, I started Power 90 (the precursor to P90X). I started with that because I knew physically I wasn't ready for P90X (which is what I wanted to do). I dropped more weight with that program and now I'm in my second week of P90X and I have lost a total of 49 lbs, but the big kicker was yesterday I fit into size 34 x 32 relaxed fit jeans with a medium sized sweater ... and I didn't look like a fat guy in a little coat... My ultimate goal is 195 lbs - I'm 6'2", so that my be a little adventurous at 42 years old.

    Just wanted to let you guys know that if you stick with it, you guys can meet your goals!

    P.S. I got my wife into working out with me and she's dropped 55 lbs in the same amount of time and is looking pretty smokin' hot herself.

    That is great to hear and is very motivating. My final goal was 200, but after seeing that you want to go lower and you're 4 inches taller than me I think I might need to reconsider!

    No prizes for me, just taking it one day at a time. The next two days will be very difficult because I will be on a business trip. It's hard to eat well when you are eating out every meal.

    Apolloag, can you please change my goal weight to 225. I just realized the goal I set up in October didn't match the goal I gave you in January. Thanks!

    Feel like I might be hitting a plateau. Weighed myself a half dozen times this morning and the scale kept bouncing between 1 and 4 pounds lost. I'm going to play it safe and call it at 1 lb this week.

    Current weight 277
