Heavyweight Challenge 2007-2009 - 5 Days Until the Next Weigh-In (Mar 23, 2008)!

This is the post for the Heavyweight Challenge 2007-2009, for which sign-ups were held here.

All participants have been assigned to one of either Team Hare or Team Tortoise. The team with the most points at the end of the challenge wins. You may earn points in the following ways:

• Each percentage of weight lost is 100 points, and fractions count, so that 0.1%, for example, is 10 points.
• If you specify your height, each KG/M^2 BMI lost is 300 points.
• If you specify your body fat percentage, each percent loss is 50 points and each percent gain of lean body mass is 100 points.
• Each day, you can earn 0.015 points per calorie under your burn you have consumed. This is only if you post your calorie consumption and burn each day, or for all 7 days (Sunday-Saturday) if you post it on each weigh-in.
• You can earn 0.025 points for each calorie you burn with exercise daily, if you post it daily or for all 7 days (Sunday-Saturday) if you post it on each weigh-in.
• Every weigh-in, the winning participant and team from the last weigh-in will be calculated. The winning participant will be given 50 points, and the winning team will receive 25 points for each person on the team. Further, the person who earns the most points for a weigh-in on each team will receive 25 points.
• For each person who reaches a goal on or before the goal date, they earn 1,000 points.

Weigh-ins are on Sundays. You should try to weigh-in on this day if you can, but you will have until Saturday night at midnight each week to weigh in for the previous Sunday. I ask that you certainly don’t make a habbit of weighing in so late, but some people can't always make it on Sunday. Also, if you miss four consecutive weigh-ins, you’ll be removed from the challenge. This challenge depends on participation.

Keep an eye on your dynamically-generated stats, as it will let you know whether you are on track. It will let you know if you should be able to reach your goals, and on what dates, and also how far you have come so far.

When you weigh in, at least specify your current weight and not only the amount lost. In addition, if you do not post your calorie consumption and burn and calories burned with exercise every day, you can post them when you weigh-in for the previous seven days (Sunday-Saturday).

If you have suggestions for how to better this challenge, please let me know!

Hi - I'm at 170 today.  That's up a tiny bit from yesterday but down 3 pounds since last weekend.  I hope you are all doing well.  I've got to go!

Hi all:  I don't really want to weigh in but oh well.  Back up to 177.4 but I was at 174 on Saturday morning.  Go figure.  I did drink all of my calories on Saturday.  Didn't eat enough and boy did my husband and I feel bad all day Sunday and I just emailed him that I wasn't feeling all that wonderful still.   We were at the beach steam cleaning carpets and almost didn't come back yesterday because we both felt too bad to drive.  Finally left there around 6 p.m. and I drove most of the way until it got really dark and then started raining.  That really throws my eyesight at night.  So we made it home, he laid on the couch and died.  I watched TV until midnight.  We are just toooo old to do that.  The up side is his brother, who lives down there, came over and they talked more in that one night than I've seen them talk in the nearly 13 years I've known my husband.  I actually crapped out and went to bed.  Not that there were hard feelings between them but as a family, they are the most splintered bunch of people I've ever seen.  So hopefully, this is the start of something new.  My siblings and I are very close and I've always wondered why my husband and his brothers aren't.  And both of his parents are still alive, in their mid 80s and have trusts and stuff that need to be discussed among the family so if something does happen, everyone knows where the paperwork, etc. is.  In my business, that's a really big part of being able to sell property.  So anyway, I digress - need to be better this week.  I reallllly want to start working on the 170s...

Hi all - 171 today.  I'm not happy about it but oh well.  I got out and did yard work yesterday and today so that was good.  I also ordered a mini stepper that I'm having sent to my work address.  My plan is to shut my door and do that everyday for at least 20 minutes just to add a little more exercise to my day.  Maybe that will help.  Susan - I hear you about the 170's.  I'm really sick of them.  I had a week or two in the 160's and would really like to get back there soon.  Maybe in a week or two...take care all!

Sorry I didn't get on yesterday.  My husband and I separated over the weekend and I don't have a computer where I'm staying.  But at least the stress was good for something.  I'm down to 172.4 this morning...  And all time low.  Of course I didn't eat anything pretty much all weekend.  Did a lot of drinking though.   I think we'll work it out eventually.  I want us to go to counseling but he's been adamantly against it.  I really think he is experiencing severe depression and I want him to see a doctor about it.  I really believe men are affected by mid life just as much as women are and I would say that his symptoms pretty much mirror menopause.  We'll see.  But I'm certainly not going to let it ruin my lifestyle change.  And at least I'm now free to go to the gym and spend as much time as I want.  And they have TV, which is something else I don't have right now.  Talk to you guys later.

Hi anyone that's left.  I'm in at 172.2 this morning.  Ate some stuff I don't normally eat over the weekend but still stayed under calories, I think.  Drizzly nasty weather for the last two days doesn't inspire much else. 

Hi Susan - I'm still here, barely.  I'm doing fine but am losing interest in this site.  I will try to keep on here at least weekly.  I'm not doing a thing to lose weight right now but am not gaining - still about about 172.  Maybe when I get more motivated to do what it takes to lose weight I'll get more involved in this site.  Take care.

Susan, I have nothing to add but want to wish you luck with that unfortunate situation. I hope that you are able to work everything out.

I've not been paying much attention to weight, but am trying to eat a little better. I really don't want to gain. It's really hard.

Hi:  I haven't weighed yet this morning because my scale is at the other house.  I keep going between 170 and 172 and I sure would like to break that barrier.  Spent the weekend at the beach house cleaning for renters next weekend.  It was gorgeous down there and I got a lot of sun.  Took my mother with me and she loves it down there.  Tried to stay true to my calories and hopefully I did but she doesn't realize how many calories are in chicken salad, potato salad, etc. that she bought from Harris Teeter.  but I didn't want to disappoint her either.  Last night I stayed with hubby cause he wanted to see me and that's why my scale is elsewhere.  We had grilled chicken tenders, baked potato and spinach so I'm pretty sure I was a good girl yesterday.  And I got on the treadmill, which I had to leave behind.   We are giving each other space at this point, and I kind of like having my own space for a while and it seems that he is doing okay too.  Thanks for the good wishes and y'all get back on that weight loss horse!!!  LOL.  Talk to y'all later.

Well, doesn't look like anyone is left but I"ll keep posting anyway.  I'm at 170.6 again this morning.  Just can't get out of the 170s to save my life.  Nasty weather here, and it's been like this for DAYS and DAYS and doesn't clear up again until Wed.  The area has had tornados, storms, lots of rain.  At least it's not snow. 

I haven't posted in forever. I have just really been so busy with school and it doesn't seem to be getting any easier as I am going during the summer too. 

 anyway, I thought I should update you on my progress. I have stayed on track and tried to lose the weight by diet alone. yeah, I know working out is really needed, but with school it is like, where to find the time? but I do walk more on campus and take stairs when I can, so I am making more concious efforts to be more active even though it is not excersise.

ok. I am now at 132.4 lbs. This is the lowest I have ever been as an adult. It is so awesome. I actually think that just 10 more lbs and I will actually be at a good weight, but I will wait and see when I get there.  

Hey Greyskies - super congrats on the weight.  I've been stuck in the 170s for 2 months and just don't know what to do to shake up my body.  My goal is 139 and I've lost 40 lbs so far but damn, I'm getting discouraged at this point.   As you can see, most everyone has deserted this thread but I check in just to keep it alive somewhat.  Check in again when you get a chance. 

Hi Greyskies and Susan - I'm still around, sort of.  I'm doing well overall but not losing any weight right now.  I'm stuck in the lower 170's too.  I'm just eating too many calories and not exercising.  Until I make substantial changes with both of those I don't expect to lose any weight.  I just bought a mini stepper to keep in my office at work.  I just used it for the first time today and my legs wore out so quickly.  I've been on it twice so far and have only done a total of 8 minutes.  That should get better over time.  I probably won't touch base weekly but will again sometime soon.  Take care!

Hi all:  STill stuck but I think I'm in too much of a calorie deficit and that's what's doing it.  I worked in the yard Sat. for 8 hours and kept the HRM on the whole time.  It said I burned 1945 calories just in that 8 hours.  Nothing strenuous and except for when I was pushing the mower, I wasn't even in a "burn zone" with the heart rate.  But if I burned that many calories in 8 hours then the estimate on this website is just too low.  Someone else suggested that as a smoker, I'm burning more calories anyway.  So I guess I need to shake up my body, eat more, etc.  Friday I played a golf tournament with my husband and his company.  My first official game and since it was Captain's Choice, there really wasn't much pressure on me.  It was fun.  Then yesterday we were supposed to play a couples tournament at the local golf course but they canceled at the last minute because not enough people showed up.  So we ended up playing with another couple I had never met.  Definitely not as much fun as  Friday but at least it was some exercise and practice.  I had one brilliant hit in the whole game but that's better than nothing.  Just going to take practice.    My goal for next week is to be in the 160s.  Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Well, I see that this thread has finally died.  I finally broke into the 160s but today I don't have a scale available.  And that cooking out over the weekend probably didn't do me any good either but it was worth it.  And I found that the Hebrew National 97% FF are really good.  I think only 45 cals. per dog. 

Hi Susan!  Congratulations on breaking into the 160's!  I've gained a few pounds as I haven't been watching what I eat or exercising.  However, I bet my husband last night that I could loose 10 pounds by the end of July.  I can't let him win.  I got up this morning at 5 AM to get on the treadmill.  Thus far I've eaten well and tracked my food through lunch.  My goal right now is to just track all of my food for the rest of the day and keep it at 1200 calories.  Cross your fingers for me.

Since this forum has pretty much died, I looked for a new challenge to get me motivated.  I just joined Slimmer by September!  You'll find me there from now on.  Take care!
