First shot at this thread, but the August mileage thread motivated me to ride more.

Starting weight - 261
Goal weight - 255
Distance goal - 150 miles

I might have tried for 200, but September in Buffalo can be iffy. I'll reassess mid month.

bigobiker

I will give it a try.

Starting weight - 259
Goal weight - 249
Distance Goal - 200 miles

blackvans1234

Starting weight: 191
Goal weight - 187 (188 is acceptable) .
ULTIMATE GOAL: 180 By New Years Eve

I figure I have sept, oct, nov, dec to lose 11 pounds, so it's like 2 or 3 pounds a month. I could 'easily' do it if I was living in an area with no real winter, but unfortunately i'm in NY.
So I have to try to tighten up my diet, reduce miles on the bike, and my ultimate priority is school, which is very difficult.

So my goal is very small.

Cyclist0084

Had good luck in August (7.8 pounds lost), so I'm game for another month.

September 01 = 236.0 pounds.

Goal is to lose 8 to 10 pounds.

Shooting for 200 miles.

Divtos

Starting weight = 234
Goal weight = 220
Time goal= 40 hours

bakeoh99

Starting weight 245

Mileage 200 +

TXsailor

This is a great motivator for me even if I didn't loose the 10 lbs last month like I hoped to. I did beat my mileage goal by 50% and that made me feel good.
This month I have a lot happening so I am sticking with my 200 mile goal and going to try match my August loss of 6 lbs. If I make it I will be at 188.

When I started riding my bike I had a goal to be down to 180 by Jan. 1 which would be the least I have weighed in at least 20 years. I think I am off to a good start and very optimistic!

Starting weight: 306

(Lost 14 lbs in August)

mrodgers

I'll join here. When i saw the thread title for the first time for August, I thought it was a discussion about the TV show, LOL.

I didn't get a chance to ride yesterday, so....

Yesterday starting weight: 226
Goal: 215
Mileage goal: 200

Total goal is 200 by Christmas. Hope to ride up until Thanksgiving dependent on when the snow starts to fly.

First post, hello everyone

Today's starting weight: 87kg (191lbs)
Month Goal: 80kg (176lbs)
Year Goal: 70kg (154lbs)
Mileage goal: 100

I want to aim for 100 miles a month. I live in Japan, so it's really easy to bike anywhere for long distances. The only downside is that this country is extremely mountainous, so it's a big struggle to get up over the hills with steep inclines (usually I have to walk up them). I just started cycling Aug 5th in order to drop weight so hopefully I'll hit my goal by New Years....

evrythngsgngrn

Is this a typo, or are you setting a lofty goal of 100lbs for the month?

ST13Pilot

What are the rues/guidelines to the "challenge"? thinking of getting involved to hopefully motivate my lazy self!

GT2R

You guys are awesome. Just get out there and ride. Remember that what you eat is important, fuel the machine!

iTrek

I did this July and Aug, so far so good...started at 262...so I'm in again.

Goal: lose 5 lbs.
ride 250 miles

Weight:

Ttl Miles: 36

LabRat2k3

It's not really a formal challenge, just a personal one. Basicly you just post: your starting weight, goal weight by the end of the month, and your mileage goal if you so choose. Then you can post updates at whatever interval you choose, I do it weekly, but do what suits you from daily to just at the end of the month. It's kind of an accountability thing that helps keep some of us on track. Join in and good luck reaching whatever goal you set.

RWBlue01

Going on tour. All bets are off.

3rdcoast

400 miles and 5 lbs

jdfriesen

I'll join this month.

If I can hit my goal this month, it will be my lowest weight in ~10 years!

ill.clyde

ok ... I'm in, because I'm not making progress and need to be accountable
