November-May Weight Loss Challenge ? Count Down Till Weigh In #14: 2 Days!!!

*WEIGH IN FOR FEB 3rd*

Feb 3rd Weigh In POST will close Feb 5th @ 11:59pm!

All member's who have joined and haven't posted at least two one weigh in will be removed from an active team and place on an inactive team. We have about 2-3 members on each team that haven't posted their weigh in's since we have started. Once those team members who are non participants are place in inactive status we will continue as usually with the challenge but there will be less memebers on each team and I will try to make sure each team has the same amount of members!

I still haven't received EVERYONE'S before photo! PLEASE SEND ASAP! NO OFFSENSIVE PHOTO'S PLEASE!

NOTE: Sorry I've been late posting, NOV AND DEC are hard months to stay up and alert on my dieting! Thanks for everyone supporting each other! We DID good this YEAR!!!! Everyone let's get ready to show off our new bods for the Summer of 2008! *YAY!*

Ending Weight this week: 127lbs

Total lbs Lost: 2lbs

Goal for Next Weigh In: 2.5lbs (this number should NEVER be more than 3lbs! *You may happen to lose more, but your goal should never be unhealthy!)

I'd be willing to be a captain. What'd be involved?

Yeah I think having teams is a great idea! I don't mind being a captain

Whats involved in being a captain? I will be one. I lost 6 lbs last week and thought it was ALL water weight, turns out only 3 lbs of it was (as of tonight I am 147 which means it was 3 real lbs but I like to weigh in in the AM so that will be my official weigh in. I am just excited because I haven't had 3 lbs stay off for a full week in the past 3 months. Woo hoo...lol

uuuugh i'd love to read all the posts but i'm in such a hurry now that i can only manage to post my 2nd weigh-in's results, so-so in my opinion :/  

Starting Weight: 140lbs

Starting Weight this week: 138lbs

Ending Weight this week: 136.8lbs

Total lbs Lost: 3.2lbs

goal for this week: 1.5 lbs less!!!!!

I'm picking out of a hat for each captain's team member to be fair... I don't want anyone feeling like no one picked them (remember the high school sports pick your player nightmare?)

 

TEAMS will posted tommorrow morning!

adictv....this is what you posted:

November 11, 2007

Starting Weight this week: 176lbs

Ending Weight this week: 172lbs

Total lbs Lost: 2lbs    ***this should be 4lbs..don't cheat yourself!!

Sorry this is late, I was out of town all weekend! 

Starting Weight: 159lbs

Starting Weight this week: 159lbs

Ending Weight this week: 159lbs

Total lbs Lost: 0 :(

Goal for Next Weigh In: 1.5 lbs 

   Thanks abbynormal, I made a mistake   it's Ending Weight this week: 174lbs  so total lost: 2 lbs In Mexico we use kilos, so that was my confusion.  

Nov 11th

starting weight: 193  (oct 28th)

starting weight this week: 188lbs

ending weight this week: 187.5lbs

total lbs lost this week: .5

total lbs lost: 5.5lbs

goal for next weigh in: 2lbs 

I thought 5lbs last week was a little high and I was right, Monday the scale had jumped back up to 189.5 and stayed there until Thursday. Since Thursday it had been dropping slowly to yesterdays weight.  Today was the same so I feel fairly confident in this weeks weigh in.

My goal this week is to exercise more, I really slacked off last week!

TEAMS are Posted on the Main THREAD!

Starting Weight this week: 144

Ending Weight this week: 145

Total lbs Lost: +1lb

Goal for next week:3lbs

NO JUNKFOOD extra exercise lots of water

If my team is interested I say this week we substitute one of our bad habit foods for a good one.

mine will be chocolate and instead of chocolate I will eat broccoli

If my team needs further support just message me on here, I am almost always online so I will respond as soon as I see it, unless the 4 month old decides I am not allowed...lol

starting weight: 222 lbs

starting weight this week: 222 lbs

ending weight this week: 216.5 lbs

total lbs lost: 5.5

goal for next weigh-in: 3 lbs

Note: Before anyone starts to worry, I always tend to drop a lot of weight in my first week - I'm 6'0" tall so this is also spread out across a fairly large person. My loss will probably be large again this week and after that I tend to settle in to 1-2 lbs/week. Isn't it sad that I've tried to lose weight so many times, that I actually have a 'pattern'? This is the time it stays off!!

November 11th:

starting weight: 229.4lbs

starting weight this week:225.8lbs

ending weight this week: 220.8lbs

total lbs lost: 8.6lbs

goal for next weigh in: 2lb

 

I thought weigh in days were mondays! So this is late....

Starting weight 150

Starting this week 149.2

weight Nov 11th 146.8

total lost 2.2 lbs

goal for next week, 2 lbs

oh goody celebration day today

i think i wanna make one remark about the team-thing. i think it's great to have teams TO SUPPORT each other, but NOT TO COMPARE with each other. i'd rather not want it to turn into a competition kind of thing-which team loses the most weight? so how about we don't write which team lost how many lbs...? what do you think, cause it's such a rainy day today that i can't seem to think straight...

 

cherry!

i'm pale as an aspirin - (that's what my aunt who is like 85 once told me)

well the dinner at my friend's went all right. dinner turned out to be ordered pizzas!!! i had only one slice and fresh pressed orange juice.

You are right the teams should be for support, but at the same time people (well me anyway) tend to stick to their guns more when it is a competition. Know what I mean? Thats not to say it should get ugly because it shouldn't by any means, we are all here for the same reason, but a little friendly competition could help us.

What's the point of having teams if we don't keep track of how much weight has been lost? We might as well just continue as individuals.

I think we're all mature enough to handle a little competition, no?

So I just put in everything I plan to eat today and it comes to 1149 calories. Before I started counting calories I ate about 600 calories a day (not on purpose, just didn't realize how few calories I was eatting-except when I ate junk then it was like 2000 cals) should I try and get to 1200 anyway, or is the 1149 ok? Also since I was eatting so few cals before, now that I go up to 1149 is that going to make me gain, like, double the weight? I figured I would ask in here rather than in an open topic just because we all seem pretty supportive and honestly I don't want people being rude to me about eatting so little before, especially since it was in no way on purpose. KWIM?

Starting weight: 216 (10/28)

Starting weight this week:211.8

Ending weight for this week:208

Total  Lost this week: 3.8

Total lbs lost: 8

Goal for next weigh in: 2 lbs
