OK How is everyone doing??? Where are you guys?? How can we support each other?? PM or post!

I'm down an additional pound, to 285. I want to be 260 or less for my June 13-27 tour from Pittsburgh to Cumberland to Harper's Ferry to DC to Baltimore to York to Lancaster to Home.....

I have to shovel snow now. More later. :(

I'm down 1.8 lbs in the last week, so that is good. Cold and rainy most of the week so it was hard to get out on the bike. Did get in a few rides though so I feel ok about it. Eating has been horrid this week, with the prep for our wedding on the 21st we have had very little time at home this week and probably in the coming weeks. One step at a time I suppose.

Can I join this.

I am Fitdaying, starting today. a tentative first week planned, currently weighing in at 292.5, looking for a 1 lb loss for next monday.

I'm at 304 pounds this week.. My goal is to exercise more this week. I haven't been riding in a couple of weeks, due to work/weather. This week I'm at least exercise, if I can't ride.

^ 10 Wheels...I know that method well! When I moved to Asia I was ok for the first few weeks, then BAM - stomach bug - and lost 6kg in 3 days.

Slow progress this week. Down a few hundred grams to 95.4kg/210.4lb.
Work and weather has stopped me cycling, but still doing other stuff and watching the food.

Will aim to get out on bike before work a couple of times this week.

if you're lucky you got a parasite or tapeworm, why confine the big losses to a single week?

Hey you - Please post your goals for this week. Do you know what happend? Ready to simply resume??

Last week was very bad for me. I set all sorts of dietary goals, and didn't stick to a one. I also wound up skipping the gym all last week. But this week should be a quieter one at work, so I can focus on what's important again.

Sounds liek a good plan. Hey work and life is always going to be bas or up and down at times...so maybe you can think of ways to weather the storm when it comes around again???

There's one good way, but it's not a good time to be job hunting. :(

Still the same at 269 sure wish this weather would improve all I have been doing is taking the dog for his walks out in the woods.

ok... i've read through the posts and decided to jump in feet first.... :thumb:

long term goal: go from starting weight of 285 down to ~230 and complete at least three charity rides within the next year (fingers crossed)


progress so far: three weeks in and i'm down from 285 to 278 :D

so far i've completely given up sodas, french fries, onion rings, most pastries and pretty much anything deep fried. i've limited my sugar intake (maybe on piece of candy or other sweet a week), cut back on my daily calories, began taking the stairs instead of the elevator, drinking lots of water (i carry my water bottle almost everywhere now), and i've started eating at home as often as possible.

i've been riding on road at least 15 miles a week for the past three weeks, and i'm about to start going to the gym at least twice a week. i'm also going to try to go mountain biking at least once a week (i love mountain biking, just wish i had more time for it :().

thanks for the inspiration and good luck :beer:

You sound like you are psyched and raring to go. Take a look at the best diet tricks thread too.
I started riding in May 2008 and did a bizillion charity rides. If you have the money it's a ton of fun - and great for you (Provided you don't eat a lot of the food...I stuck to my South Beach Bars for many of the rest stops...and some fig newtons too)

Anyhoo glad to have you aboard!! Ride on! rock On!

Hey 10wheels hope you feel better!

Thanks Bee,
Cranked out 76 miles yesterday with a group ride of 7.
I took it real slow and did good.

I am doing Weight Watchers, and have in 6 weeks lost 13.2 pounds. I weigh in on Tuesday evenings.

Each week my goal is to lose 1-2 pounds.

I don't expect to ride this week, but will do some exercise, and eat well to get another 2 pounds off.

Current weight 350.0

Hey all I hope I'm not too late for the party. I started trying to lose weight at the end of January. I started at 231.5 and am currently at 219.5. My loss for this week(Wedesday to Wednesday) was from 221 to 219.5. My goal is to get to 210, I usually plateau around 215. But I started a much better running and biking training plan this year and I hope to make it to my goal. I'd love to get down to 200, but weight loss will take a back seat starting in June to get in racing shape for mtb racing season.

It's good to see like minded people encouraging one another. Great job everyone and keep it up.

OK So what does your screen name mean??> I am tiny Bubbles??

Comeon iun and post some specific goals for this week Monday (past) to this sunday. What will you do to get to your svelte self for this week?? Maybe lose 1 pound? more? Drink a ton of water?? Walk past the vending machine? Will you ride like a banshee?? Then at the end of the week - next Monday tell us your weight and success and set new goals. Got it?? Go get em...and congrats on your progress!!

I'm new to this thread but for the last 3-4 weeks I have been on a crusade to get me under the 200lb level. I started at around 210 and am shooting for a 15lb weight loss, losing one pound a week. I am fairly active, I bike to work most days and the days that I can't (weather related) I ride the trainer.

Since the biking and other activity wasn't getting those extra 15lbs off, I needed to address the diet. I figured that I had to knock off 500 calories a day to acheive my goal, so I started with the easy stuff.

1) stay out of the candy bar drawer at the office. Each one of those itty bitty hersey bars has about 40 or 50 calories so a cutting out a half dozen of them over the course of the day was an easy 300.

2) I am an ice cream fanatic. :love: I have it every day with out fail and I am not giving it up. EVER!! But I can cut it from 3 or 4 scoops to 2. There was another 150 or so.

3) Eat just a bit less at dinner. A couple of bites less and I would be there.

4) Drink more water

After following this, what I would call a minor, tweak to my diet for the last 3-4 weeks I am on target or even a bit ahead of the game at 205.

By the way I am a 46 year old male.

My screen name isn't so creative. It is IA MTB as in Iowa Mountain Biker. When I joined the forum I only had a mountain bike. How silly that was.

My goal for will be to lose 1 pound and continue to hit every scheduled workout. It's been working and it's easy to keep it going at the beginning.

I was too busy to post early this week but my Monday weight was running a little high at 225.8 but that was down 0.4 from the previous Monday. Tuesday morning it had corrected to 224.8 and I've been traveling for my company and eating too much since. I need to get home and get back into my regular routine because it's hard to travel and keep calorie intake down. I've done a lot of running and hitting the exercise room in the hotel but there's only so many calories you can cancel with exercise. I'll be traveling the next three weeks so my immediate goal is to develop a better eating plan for when I'm traveling and also to show more restraint when faced with a company supplied buffet.

This weeks goals:

(1) Bring Breakfast to work - stop at supermarket on way to apt form airport YES
(2) Subway for dinners Tues and Wed YES
(3) Tues - Workout on weight machines Not so much
(4) Wed - workout on Bike - 1 hour YES
(5) Thursday - Workout with weights No
Alternate plan - workout at night with weights and in monring with cardio...

(6) drink water - bring bottle to work and refill YES
(7) Give up Diet Coke - Expensive and bad for you Nope
(8) Go on a spending diet! Change my way of life regarding spending YES - Somewhat

So I weighed in at 175.5. I know this is a high number for a woman. But it's so nice to be in this range and seeing my weight down in weight! Had 3 great rides this weekend. Who knew I could ride inthe mountains??

No weight loss- but 4.5 pounds last week was huge when my goals is 1 pound a week. So I am happy!!!
OK off to post my goals on the new thread!!
