CC Loses a Polar Bear Challenge

The premise is simple:  a Polar Bear weighs approximately 600 pounds.  As you record a weight loss then you subtract it from the last weight posted above you.  

As a team I believe all of us at CC can lose the weight of a polar bear - just think of all the miles run by those Run Around the World teams!  I have no idea how long it will take us to achieve this, so it is an open ended challenge.  And later if it catches on we can try bigger objectives, like a hippo :)

There is no close date or a sign up date, just keep a running total of collective pounds lost.

So here we start:

0/600 (0%)

Love this idea. Been wanting to post here for a while, but hadn't lost anything yet! But now I have, so here goes. I guess I will start!!

1.6/600 (0.2%)

I will keep posting here even if it doesn't really catch on. I know I can't lose it all by myself! Lol. Come on, people!

Lost another 1.8! Come on, people. We gotta get this thing started!

3.4/600 (0.5%)

Yet another 0.8 pounds. At a plateau right now though, so probably can't post more for a while. In the meantime, everyone else needs to get in the game!

4.2/600 (0.7%)

I figured no one wanted to do it, so I hadn't checked in a while.  I'm down 1 since I posted it (lots of plateau) so:

5.2/600 (0.87%)

I will join.  This week I lost only .6lbs

5.8/600 (0.97%)

Down 0.5

6.3/600 (1.05%)

We're over 1% now.

down .5

6.8/600 (1.13%)

can i contribute too?!

since you first posted this thread (on may 3rd), i have lost 3.4 pounds.

sooo, that's 10.2/600 for a total of 1.70%!

cute idea!

Yay!! I'm so glad it's finally picking up, because I think this is so much fun, and you can post ANY time you lose anything, which is great for my motivation.

I lost another 1.8! On a roll!

12/600 (2%)!

down a pound this week

13/600 (2.16%)

OK, I have been watching, but only weigh on Fridays. Starting today I will add my weekly Friday weight loss.

3.4 lbs

16.4/ 600 (2.7%)

Whoo-hoo! Lost 2 pounds this week!! On a roll. I'm glad we have been able to keep this thing going! Good luck everybody~

18.4/600 (3%)

~*~Gela~*~

Ok, so even though I haven't lost too much more, no one else is posting and I don't want this challenge to be forgotten. =( So I will post again anyways.

Another 0.2 pounds gone~

18.6/600 (3.1%)

I'm game! Since may 3rd (keeping that as the start date), I have lost 7 lbs.

25.6/600 (4.2%)

May 3rd - 184.6lbs    Today, June 21, 178.6 - down 6 pounds

31.6/600 (5.3%) That's what??? About one paw??

Cute idea!  I've lost 9.6 pounds since this thread began, so:

41.2/600 (6.8%)

I didn't lose on Friday, so I am waiting until this Friday to hopefully post again. Do polar bears plateau?

J-mom

Love this idea! Because I haven't been able to get lower than 174.5, I will post any weight I lose from there. Hopefully I will be able to contribute soon! :)

June 26 - 175.8 - down 2.8 pounds

44.0/600 (7.33%)

Well, after gaining and losing, I stopped at 143.2. That is down .2 lbs from my last time. Not much, put I will add to the polar bear.

44.0 + .2 = 44.2 /600 (7.36%)
