wow! cape codess! i remember you!!! that is so strange, because i was wondering, not too long ago, what ever happened to you. i was actually picking up cream cheese at the grocery store, and for some reason, you came to mind. strange. welcome back, anyway!
weighed this morning- i am between 118-119. this sounds so strange to me. i don't think i should be this low. weird. now i just have to keep it up and get get "comfortable"

Please add me to this fun challenge. I do not intend to do anything different with my daily routine as it has worked well in the past, it should work for the future, plus I track my daily progress in the diaries section.
So, here is the goal for myself. I weighed myself on my birthday (Dec 30th, and it was anywhere from 198-200 depending on the scale), so let's call it 200 lbs for a start weight. The goal is to lose 1-2 lbs a week if at all possible. So, looking at a calendar, that would have me at a minimal loss of 9 lbs, to a weight of 191. Let's call it 190.
I was just weighed today for a health plan incentive with work. Here is all the pertinent data.
Start weight: 200 lbs
Goal Weight: 190 lbs
Current weight: 195 lbs (01/17/2008)
Now the question is Who actually adds me to the list?

And the answer, Javan, is that I do! You're in....glad to have you. Good luck. You'll see your name once the list on page one is updated next Tues or Wed. Report your weight on Monday.
Oh, and a belated happy birthday to you!!!

Thanks DG!
This is the first online-weight-loss challenge that I have ever been in.
I lost about 25-30 lbs back in '06, then proceeded to gain it back due to my #%@&! job. Yes I can say it was my job, as travel about 9 months out of the year, and the places I tend to work do not always have the healthiest options, especially when you have limited kitchen supplies (i.e. NONE).
Anyhow, I am now working from my home and should be there for at least a year, hopefully more. So the diet and exercise will become very constant and the weight should drop off, as it has already started.
Thanks again.

Ok...I didn't check in on Monday, coz I normally weigh in on a Saturday morning...so, last week I was down to 70kg (156.5lb)...and this Saturday morning (ie now) I'm down to 69.2kg (153.7lb). VERY happy!
My 29th of Feb goal is to be down to 68kg (151lb)...and I'm almost there already! Ultimately I want to get down to at least 60kg (133.3lb) but probably about 55-57kg (122-126.6lb)...we'll see!
Keep going everyone - this is great!! 
Cheers from a rainy Saturday in Melbourne.... Kate.

Thanks Butterball.
I was supposed to be getting a puppy this weekend, and when it didn't work out I went home and quite consciously decided to eat some comfort food! It was one HUGE (nearly the box) serving of mac n' cheese.
But I actually did pretty well because between the doggie place and home I had to go to the supermarket. In the past, I would have eaten the supermarket.
I think these challenges help!

Peter, How about the pup did you get it? Don't leave us hanging.
SPbeef.Congrats.keep up the good work you are inspiring.
Butterball Good success to you this week as well and the rest of you too.
Javen How are you doing?
Elliptical lover, I agree that 21 is unrealistic and unhealthy. I'm beginning to think 15 was a bit much for me.
Coy Try the kickboxing bootcamp tapes they are good to throw your body into losing..Hey I think I' try them this week
.
Everyone I wish you all success this week. Be a loser!

jskd82,
You can say that again. I just emailed a few people that I know who are struggling with weight issues to let them know this is the best sight I have ever found to assist people with lifestyle changes involving weight issues and maintaining the body you want and much much more. Thanks for the encouragement...Have a great week!

| I know I'm a day early (Sunday) but I weighed myself at work and I'm 152.5 lbs now.I started this challenge with the weight of 160 with the goal of losing 10 lbs by the end of Feb. I have 2 lbs left to go.I will continue losing even after I take the next 2 lbs off.I guess I need to challenge myself somemore.Maybe I'll go for another 10 lbs by the end of Feb.That will bring my weight down to 140 lbs.

168.  I'm hoping no loss is muscle due to increase in weight lifting.

Despite the last two off days, I managed to lose 2 pounds! Weight this week=168. Last week was 170. Great news! Yipeee! That was my goal for the end of February, so now I'm changing my goal. Another 6 pounds? Aw heck, I'll shoot for 8. 160 by the end of February.

WOW! Everybody seems to be doing quite well. Keep up the hard work!
If you haven't reported your weight, today (Monday) is the day to do so. Yep, every Monday, hop on that scale and report your weight. Report will be updated sometime tomorrow so check out page 1 tomorrow for results. I know we're getting close to 1/4 ton ...maybe more!!!
