MEN: Lose 10 in Feb. Challenge!

week 3 2-21-11 283.4 (was 280.0 friday but i guess i had a bad week end)

Typically the only thing that can account for that big of a swing is water weight. I wouldn't worry about it, you're pretty much there for your feb. challenge. Good work!!!

took 3 days but back to 280.2 ( got it to say 279.8 once but can't take that 280.2 was the avg.) i never thought i would get 10 but i might just win this.... went from bmi of 33.? to 30.8. hope you all feel as good as i do about the work put in this month.

are we doing one for march may be a mile challenge with the weight loss????????

Good question. We should start thinking about March's challenge since we're almost at the end of this one.

Would everyone like to do a similar March Challenge?





Count me in I say YES let's do this I think this is great! No pain no gain go hard r

Let's get some feedback... This was my first time hosting a challenge like this. Is there anything that people would like done differently?

Thoughts?

I say bring on the March challenge! Spring is on it's way, at least where I live. It'll be a lot easier to lose when it's so beautiful outside.

My final weigh-in results:
1st Feb - 248
7th Feb - 245 (-3)
14th Feb - 243 (-2)
21st Feb - 241 (-2)
28th Feb - 239 (-2)

Total loss of -9, so just below the target of 10 but I'm well pleased with that result. Will join a March challenge aswell if it's on for sure.

weighed in at 216lbs this morning total -9lbs for the month...beer and girl scout cookies this weekend kept me from crossing the finish line. :drinker:

Had a slow weight loss week, but I made it YEE HAW.

SW 255
week 1 251
week 2 249
week 3 243
CW 245

Lost one pound on the finl week, wasn't sure if I was going to make it, I weighed friday and was up a pound. Congradulations to all that made it, and to those that lost but fell short. Remember it's a long road and there are gong to be speed bumps along the way.

Well, I didn't quite make it, but I did get myself back on track. I started on Feb. 7 at 313, and I am now at 307.2

Start Feb. 7 - 313
Feb. 14 - 308.8
Feb. 21 - 308.8
Feb. 28 - 307.2
Total loss of - 5.8

It was a rough month, but I am pleased that I managed to lose some weight. I think I am finally getting into a nice workout routine rather than just doing it whenever I can. I'm not there yet, but I think I am on the way and this loss of nearly 6 pounds puts me at 13 total. I'm happy with 13 pounds in two months.

104kg approx 229.5lbs

-4.5lbs

103.5kg approx 228lbs today

-6lbs overall

Weight today is 227.5 lbs, 6.5lbs lost this month- not sure I am going to reach the 10lbs goal though, bad weekend this week!

Can't believe I made it, had one of my best weeks weight loss-wise, 223lb today. The extra exercise paid off!

11lbs total for Feb

I am pretty psyched, this month the challenge made me look at the scale more often than I normally do.

SW 2-10 275 lbs
Feb 1. 236 lbs
Feb 7. 236 lbs
Feb 14 232 lbs -4
Feb 20 228 lbs -4

Total -8

I have been at or about 1lb a week one month closer to being at a more healthy weight.

Thinking about a March challenge. Since many of us use different methods of exercise during the week, why not think about using percentages to measure success. i.e. a 10% increase in distance/time per week is considered the max someone should strive for to remain injury free, I swim, I average 3 miles a week or 12 miles for the month doing laps, success for me would be 15.5 miles for March.

Men I am soo disappointed in myself... I worked hard this week to try and lose more. ate less and exercised 6 days..twice on a couple days and still only lost 1 lb. I was under my calories every day too (counting the exercise ones) Anyways down a lb is still down.

Last week: 238
this week:: 237
