is there a link to a tracking spreadsheet keeping everyone accountable? or just posts?

poojak - what did you do that you're so sore?! weighed in post vacation 2lbs+ my weight before...usually gain some weight when i fly, so hoping back to "normal" tomorrow...ugh...would hate to post a gain for this team!

vacation ends tomorrow and i'm terrified to weigh in on Friday (no scale this week). I've been exercising a couple hours every day, but not as much as "usual". We've been relatively good with food - lots of grilled fish, salads, veggies...but also liberal with the vino. i think all in all i'd be happy if i held even this…

Bpkal new weight 181.4 Starting 209 Goal 139

Bpkal - 181.4 Die Lard

headed out tomorrow for a weekend away - a bit nervous as my environment has been so "secure"....here goes...

i meant - Mimi - i couldn't run 4 miles. major props.

great run, kayak! also, thanks for the kudos, team. also - loving the "jar of rocks" idea...

Had a doctors appt today - first since the Feb 2nd appt that launched my "program". Was officially taken out of the "obese" category and got some kudos from doc and PA. Here is to the next 30# and making it from "overweight" to "healthy" this summer...good week all!

Wow - this is a great team. Love all the support being offered. Love hearing about what everyone is doing to "move forward." Love the losses posted! Here is to another good Die Lard week - whether just getting started or moving it up a notch!

kayak, i had a 2-ish week plateau in March. Changed up the exercise routine (more weights/body-weight exercises and dif cardio...i was doing a lot of the same stuff every day) helped a lot...

Re: the meal planning comments from earlier - i have to admit that i'm finding it easiest to just NOT focus much on food now (keeping it v. simple). I do like to cook, but now that i'm working out in most of my "free time", i've kept meals v. simple: Rotisserie chicken skin removed, eggs, apples, raw carrots/snow peas,…

Starting Weight (Feb 2): 209 Weight last Friday (Mar 25): 187.8 Weight today (Apr 1): 183.6 Goal: 139

Hi - lots of great looking notes above; look forward to reading and replying tonight. Just posted my "stats" on the other page - wasn't sure if we wanted them in here, also? It was (finally) a good week! Have a great day! bpkal Die Lard Starting Weight (Feb 2): 209 Weight last Friday (Mar 25): 187.8 Starting Weight For…

Thanks for stepping up, Kayak. My weigh in day will be Friday.

Shay - a tucked in top is my goal as well!

rushes blood to cells in the area - of course it doesn't add new cells! typo!

Mimi - after hours of "research" online - the answer is "I don't know" re: loose skin/coconut oil. Consensus seems to be that massage w/oil and dry brushing helps w/loose skin b/c it rushes blood cells to the area. If nothing else, it helps me post chlorine exposure in the pool! My skin is so much smoother than it is w/o,…

Friday weigh in stunk - gained and lost the same 2#s in 10 days. Better today, but as of Friday: SW (Feb 2nd): 209 SW (this Challenge): 187.6 Friday weight: 188 Goal weight: 139

Hi Shay and team (and Sweetee). Shay, I also had big plans to be fit by a milestone birthday (40). That didn't happen, so i'm working on "a hell of a lot fitter" by 41 (end May.) Won't have hit my goal weight by then, but plan to be halfway there! (Want to lose 70, down 22 so far.) After a v. frustrating two weeks gaining…

Hi Christa! Good to meet you. I also have to watch my knees - dislocated a knee cap last year and was going overboard on "intense" cardio - and my knees were not happy! Now swim, row and cycle v. just walk and elliptical (my defaults!)

Wow, Mimi - what an accomplishment!

Hi all - i turned 40 last May and decided that by the time I turned 41 I wouldn't be so embarrassed by my body. It ended up being a rough year, so I got a late start - really turning it on Feb 2nd following dr visit. Have lost 21lbs since Feb 2, but have really stalled in the last ten days. Goal is to lose 70# total - or a…

smooch - i measure inches too...

Thank you - this is why I write everything down!

Hi all - have lost 21 since Feb 2, but last two weeks have been really stuck.

i would like to join.
