Five Pounds in Five Weeks - Be Five Pounds Lighter by July 11th
We started this at work, where we're all suffering from "Hacker Spread". Thank you, IT Industry, for making it possible to 1) make a living sitting on my behind all day and 2) afford to eat lunch out every day.
I'm going to be honest. I'm 5'8" tall and I weigh 208 pounds. My coworker is 5'6" tall and weighs 187 lbs. Since we've both got a lot of weight to loose, we've broken it in to 5 pound chunks. 5 pounds isn't nearly as inimidating as 65 pounds.
This is our second round of the 5 pound challenge and I thought maybe some of you other folks would like to join us. Our goal is to be five pounds lighter by July 11th.
We don't care if you need to loose 200 pounds or 10. You're welcome to join in our little challenge.
"Weigh ins" will be on Thursdays, so that we can either commiserate or rejoice together. All you have to do is weigh yourself on the same scale every Thursday and keep up the new healthy lifestyle.
Reason: moved to a more appropriate forum

Thanks cuddleaddict for the B-day Wishes!!! I had a great b-day I allowed myself to cheat a little this wkend though, so this week's weigh in might be a little higher than last week. Hopefully all my other efforts will make up for my weekend of drinking and eating!

Know what's weird? I was looking at my weight and measurements from January, and I have lost 4 pounds since January. However, my waist has gone up an inch even though all my other measurements have gone down. Weird, huh? Maybe I was just bloated today or something. Anyway, next stop: July 11!

Hello.
CW - 255
GW - 200, maybe someday 160 or lower 
I'll report my weigh this week but then I'll be in the field for two weeks with no scale or computer around. So I think I'll do my best without CC for a few weeks and report back when I get back to civilization.
Ok, here we are for week 2:
SW: 130
GW: 125
WEEK 1: 131
WEEK 2: 128.5
Heading in the right direction!
Okay 2 week down
SW 143.6

week 2: 140
Challange goal 138.6
Goal 125.6 then we'll see!
week 1: 119
week 2: 118.5
It's going down, slowly...but I will not give-up.
