Just for the sake of clarity, when we give our official weights for Oct 13th, they'll go in this thread, right?

My goal for this week will be to practice Yoga more often -- at least every other day.

Secondarily I'd really like to get my fit/saddle issue resolved.

My goal is to ride more than I did last week. The weather wasn't good. Hopefully this week will be better. I'd also like to drop another pound. Lastly, I really need to eat a little less dinner.

just for the sake of clarity, when we give our official weights for oct 13th, they'll go in this thread, right?

please post your weigh in on the week 2 thread. :)

Alright, the quandary I have then is why on the spreadsheet week 2 is already entered? There is no week 1, just the initial weigh-in. Doesn't it make more sense to post the weight on a thread started that same day? So, why would we be posting this week's weight on last week's thread? Particularly because as it stands now the weigh-ins you ask to be posted on the week 2 thread will go into the week 3 slot on the spreadsheet. I think these multiple threads are going to cause too much confusion in that regard.

Oh, btw, the spreadsheet link in the first post doesn't work.

Agreed with imeridian....I think week 3 weigh ins should be in this thread, since it's the week three thread ;) That being said, I gained 1.1lbs this week because I was watching my son during the times I'd normally be riding. Plus the santa ana winds kicked in this week (for those who don't know, gusts above 70mph) so it's not real fun being outside on a bike at the moment anyways lol. Went back to my old ways on eating...always happens that way. I can't leave the house to get something healthy so I can't really regulate what I'm eating that well. Oh well...maybe next week.

Well I finished my marathon today! Technical time of 4 hours 55 minutes and 28 seconds! I have NEVER hurt so bad in my life. The last 2 miles I wanted to crawl, it was horrible. But I did it and can say I've done it and will never do it again ;) Will post my weight tomorrow. BTW, I have school all day tomorrow but will try to update the spread sheet during breaks and boring lecture time. If not, I will update when I get home tomorrow evening.

My goals this week are:
-Ride 80 miles and work on fine tuning my fit and comfort on the bike
-Continue to drink only 2 diet sodas/day
-Make it to the gym twice this week for weights
-Eat a little less next weekend than I did this weekend (getting better on this though)

I just weighed my self and i am 267.2 lbs. My goals for the week are to go to gym 5 times during the week and also limit my calorie consumption to 1800 calories a day. My other goal is to be 265 by next monday

Week 3 goals:

1) ride 3 days
2) Complete 200K ride on Saturday
3) walk 4 days
5) lose 3 lbs to get to 205 or less.

Since I don't have a color yet, I'd like to be Brown.

Goals for this week:
1) Ride to school with my new panniers
2) 267lbs for next week
3) Do 100 miles during the week

Weight this morning: 245.8. This amount of weight loss still amazes me, since I've really done nothing different except just nibble on something when I get hungry in the middle of the day. I still have the same amount of stuff for dinner though. Strange

Previous week's goals:
1) Commute 5x a week. (Only did 3 days due to rain)
2) Do ~75 miles. (Only 51.96)
3) Have fun. CHECK
4) Eat smaller things 4-5x a day instead of a big meal 1-2x a day. CHECK

Next week's goals:
1) Commute 4-5x a week.
2) Do 50-75 miles.
3) Have fun.
4) Eat smaller things 4-5x a day instead of a big meal 1-2x a day.

Hi everyone,

I am down 1.8, my weight today is 172.
I didn't fulfill my goal for the week as I was away the whole week in Sweden. I will try to make up next week!

My goal for this week is to ride at least 3 times to work and eat helthy!!

Goals for the week.

Get more outdoor miles in.
Ride at least ten hours this week(indoor/outdoor doesn't matter, just do the time).
Don't let the drama at work get to me.
Finish my Halloween costume. Not cycling related, but if I'm stating goals...

Hi All,

Here's my goals for week 3:
1) Lose @ 1 lb.
2) Do a 35 mile ride comfortably in prep for the Nov. 22 El Tour de Tucson short (35 mi.) event. My longest ride so far is 31 miles and I was pooped! I'm up to 25-26 comfortable miles at this point.
3) Do 3 exercise videos, 45-60 min. each.

I think I need to start paying closer attention to diet so I'm interested in reading about everyone's strategies. Someone posted about the 'cheesecake incident' and I understand exactly what they meant. Something like falling face-first into a bag of chips. It happens so fast, what can you do?

Wanda

Can I join in?

Weigh in: 268

This week's goal: lose 3lbs, ride at least 60 kms but shooting for 100 km, swim 3 times this week, gym 3 times for some upper body work, not to be seduced in Starbucks by the apple fritters.

What I've done so far: After losing 25 lbs this winter and spring I managed to gain back 10 lbs and I'm not to pleased with myself about them. I suspect aimless eating with a strong leaning towards the ice cream food group. Since the end of September I've been eating only a vegetarian diet to whip myself into submission foodwise. So far this month I've lost 6 lbs, not bad, and I'm not tired of beans and brussel sprouts yet!

Ultimate goal: I'd like to explore what my riding is like when I'm 180 lbs next spring!

well i finished my marathon today! Technical time of 4 hours 55 minutes and 28 seconds! I have never hurt so bad in my life. The last 2 miles i wanted to crawl, it was horrible. But i did it and can say i've done it and will never do it again ;) will post my weight tomorrow. Btw, i have school all day tomorrow but will try to update the spread sheet during breaks and boring lecture time. If not, i will update when i get home tomorrow evening.

Hey folks, I'd like to join in if I may. I can even give you my two weeks stats of weight loss to add to the spreadsheet if you'd like.


Team Greene PA (as in Greene County, Pennsylvania)

Start: 186 lbs
Week 1: 182 (minus 4)
Week 2: 181 (minus 1)

Goals for the week:
Spin sessions at least 4 times @ least 45 minutes each.
Ride outside at least once this upcoming weekend (20 - 30 miles).
Drink 8 glasses of water daily.
Light breakfast, and lunch with moderate dinners hopefully before 6:00pm (maintain under 2000 cals.).
Weight loss of 1 pound :)

Edited for 2 weeks of stats

My goals this week are not including any exercise since I am re-cooping from my marathon. I have blisters and sore legs to the point where I am having a hard time even getting out of bed.

So short and sweet goals this week:
1) No soda
2) At least 8 cups of water a day
3) Make better food choices

Just registered today and I'd like to jump into this thing! I'm a broken down ex-Rugby/ex-Ice Hockey guy with bad knees. On the advice of my orthopedist (and the constant pain in my left knee from several injuries and surgeries) I gave up running this year and subsequently gained 14 pounds in eight months.

Weigh-in this AM: 218.5.
Goal weight: 200 by New Years Day (tough time of year to start a loss regimen).
Goal for the Week: Four hours in the saddle; road, trail, or trainer doesn't matter.

Is this all I have to do to get into the BL thread?

David

Yep, let me talk to my wife (dorsalphin) and we'll see about getting you on the list :)

OK _ Guys have I missed any one's posts?? Missing goals for the following Biggest losers. You guys ok?? I have been pretty busy so I may have missed your posts.. Just let me know.

1. Keep drinking water only.....occasional beer.
2. Ride 150 Miles again.
3. Try not to gain weight despite doing all the right things.

So far it has not been the best Weight Loss week - I chose to eat a Burrito and chips last night. USually I hit Subway! big mistake - as I looked up the caolries afterwards. STAY AWAY FROM BURITTOS AND CHIPS! Also missed my workout today -a s my alarm clock was on vibrate. So no workouts since Sunday's ride...
OH dear! OK tomorrow I will work out before work! This weekend I am at my parents for a big a party- will need to be sure and work out then as well.

OK otnight and tomorrow night - SUBWAY....
:)

I'm doing ok so far. Still eating too much dinner, but I am down a pound. Also, ridden 54 miles so far this week, with another 36 or so coming this afternoon. I should easily get over 120 for the week, so that will be good.

Looks like I'm going to have to rely on mostly diet for the rest of this week. Got an irritating little saddle sore, that's going to have to heal up before I can do any more spin sessions. Luckily, my job keeps me on my feet moving around all day so I should get some benefit from that.

DorsalPhin my stats for the spreadsheet should read:
Start: 186 lbs
Week 1: 182 (minus 4)
Week 2: 181 (minus 1)

I edited my stats when I realized we're only starting week 3

Thanks in advance, and very nice job you're doing with the spreadsheet,

Denny

OK this week was not so good so far on the workout foront.:treadmill: Left my sneakers at work most days - so could not workout when I woke up in my Chicago apt (I live in ATL- commute during the week). Maybe moving form the hotel life (I loved Chciago Hotels!) to the apt did it...or maybe the 200+ miles last weekend - but somehow - I worked late . forgot sneakers, ate not the best! Anyway - I am in FLA for a family gathering this weekend (Mom is an awesoem cook!) So......

Well I know I would tell ya'll not to do this - but I got on the scale...itsaid 6 pounds down from last week. So if it is accurate - yay - but atleast even if it is not 100% (Mom says it is right) I still feel better that the 3 lbs I gained last week is off... So I am off to the gym in a bit.. Going to try and work out for 2 hours... Shoudl be interesting. Very hard to believe I am not out riding this week. I did though sign up for a century next weekend. (OOOH my 2nd and I thinkit is flat - or as flat as can be in GA - no Mountain this time!)

OK- How are y'all doing? I suspect you are out and about just getting warmed up onyour bikes. Be safe out there, have fun and step away form the desserts!

OK - Bye for now! The Bee!

Ah, the different scale phenomenon. It doesn't matter what you do, no 2 scales show the same weight. I'm thinking of getting another scale to see if I'm lighter ;-)

I'm still having trouble with dinner portion control, but my lunches are improving. Had salads a couple times this week. I've dropped one for sure. Hoping to have dropped 2 by weigh in on Monday morning.

The weeks been pretty good so far, although I did go off the diet yesterday for some happy hour fun with friends. At least it was light beer that I chose as my drink of choice. The chicken wings covered in honey BBQ sauce are another story though. But if your going to drink, you kind of have to eat something to help keep things in check.
Looks like I'll be back in the saddle as soon as tomorrow. The saddle sore has healed up nice & quick, so I'm glad I stayed off the bike for those few days. It'll be good getting that extra excercise in, kind of like the Last Chance Workout. Doing really good on drinking water, I think I've had at least 8 glasses every day this week. Plus I've eaten more friuts & veggies than I have in a long time. Probably since I was a kid.
Keeping my fingers crossed for at least 1 pound off the scale,

Denny

Thought you folks might find this interesting. My company has been chosen to participate in an Extreme Home Makeover in Pittsburgh. This Tuesday (21st) we'll be doing the drywalling along side of Ty & the gang. We have 12 hours to get our part of the job completed, so it promises to be a good calorie burning day.

Just remember if TV people are filming around you, ignore them, unless directly questioned, if you are interrupted, stop what your doing, pay attention to the TV people, then go back to what you were doing, it's very easy to make mistakes when your not paying attention to what your doing. Kinda like the guy on the motorcycle watching the pretty girl and rear ending a car, they pulled his helmet (he was still wearing it) out of the back window of the car ahead of the one he hit :injured:

A little before midnight, I weighed in at 300.7 lbs, down 1.5 lbs from last week. However, I am hoping that by morning, I will be into the 200's and will NEVER see a 3 as my first number again! (BTW, no exercising was done this week as I was re-cooping from my marathon). And I completed goal #1 which was no soda for the week! I am very proud! I have been an iced tea junkie all week.

I can't wait to see everyone's numbers this week!!!

I got on the scale this morning before leaving for work. Minus 3 lbs., which puts me at 178 for this weeks weigh in. I have not been under 180 lbs. since the late "80's, so I was very happy to see that number.

Good luck to everybody, and lets se those numbers,
