Sign me up for the new season. Well I am down to 237... I met my goal of surviving the holidays and not gaining any, actually, I lost some. Not as much as I wanted, but it was a loss and not a gain..

I'm down 2 lbs from a week ago. That is my third straight week of loss - total is -6.5 lbs in 3 weeks. Started at 255 and weighed 248.5 this morning. I do very well during the week while I'm at work but the weekends seem to trip me up. That is what I will be working on this weekend - not sitting around over eating.

This past week was the first week I made an effort to exercise as well. I spend two 30 minute sessions spinning (6 miles each) and went outside yesterday in 17 degree weather and biked an hour for another 12.2 miles. And walked the dogs for another hour last week. 24.2 miles riding for the year to date.

My over all goal is 185 pounds. I'm 6'1". I go back to the doctor on June 22nd so that is my goal to have most of the weight off - at least below 200 by then.

10 Wheels

Still 215 lbs. Too cold to ride.
Cutting back on calories and drinking more water.

Did well this week. I lost 2.1lbs. I got in 50 miles on the trainer, unfortunately to cold and snowy for outdoor riding. Thinking I might take the mountain bike out today though if it breaks 25 degrees, the snow should be fun.

Goals for this week will be to lose 2 pounds, ride at least 50 miles between trainer and outdoors (which may be tough since I have 3 doctors appointments this week), and to continue to eat right.

Today: 229.2
Still recovering from the surgery. Goal is to walk a bit every day, if only to get to mailbox down the road to return my Netflix disks.

230.2 lbs. This morning... This is my first weigh in for the Biggest Loser 2010!! I am ready to get on it!
Goals:
1) 96 oz. of water a day
2) Keep calories in 1800-2000 calorie range
3) No eating out at all
4) Get outside and ride 3 days this week - 3 P90X workouts...

Hopefully if I do that I will see positive results on Monday!

This sounds like great motivation. I started anew on 1/4/2010 after having lost about net 35 lbs. last year (lost 60, but regained about 25 after leaving the low-carb diet). Had a good week last week, losing about 3 lbs., eating right, working out every day.

Goals for January:

Eat 6 clean meals daily totaling 2,400 calories, limiting starchy carbs
Work out on weights 3 days and cardio 3 days; 7th day is for fun activity
Drink 128 ozs. water daily
No sweets or junk except on Sunday when I allow myself a treat or two; usually a burger.

Beginning weight was 342; January goal is 330.

cyclokitty 

Lost 4 pounds last week!!

Goals:
1) Breakfast each morning
2) Plan meals and have the groceries so I don't succumb to temptations
3) Exercise each day -- also I'm finally caving and buying a balance ball to do more exercises at home
4) Drink water

I'm not giving myself a weekly weight goal since I bet much of that 4 pounds was water. No sense jinxing myself. Starting weight it 288. Today I am 284. I'm working towards ducking under 200 by December 31, 2010.

YAY YOU! Awesome....Go Girl

Kazzy

Checking in at 218 today. That's down 5 lbs. I'm taking advantage of the glorious weather we are having in Phx and riding as much as possible.

Goals for the coming week:

Find some new low cal recipes and get the groceries for them. My lack of planning is probably one of the biggest obstacles in healthy eating. I don't think about what I'm going to eat until I'm already hungry.

Get started on cleaning up the yard.

Ride, ride, ride!

Today 213.5. That's up from 211 earlier in the week. I've been using FitDay and being pretty consistent so far so I'm not worried. I think the 211 earlier in the week might have been an aberration...water weight changes etc.

Goal for the week...continue using FitDay daily...I think long term, if I can make that a habit, I will be in good shape. I'd like to be able to go out and ride this week.

Good luck everyone!

1/11/10 Ok weight as of today 270. Goal weight by end of the week 268. Keeping it simple and hopefully easy!

Today had 2 fiber one bars. Taste good and helps with any kind of sugar urge. Keeps us soon to be over 40 peeps regular! lol
Subway - 6 inch sub on wheat Seafood and crab. No cheese. Lots of veggies and japs.
Goolash dinner not the best thing not the worst thing. Had 1 normal size bowl.
Lots of water today.
Took my vitamins.

Probably to many carbs. But over all less than I would normally eat in a day.

Tomorrow goals good breakfast. Keep things in good portions. Carbs early. Protiens later in the day. Lots more water and of course Vitamins.

I started the training program for beginners today. (new to this sport) My goal is to complete the 15 week program and finish the race on May 1st. It's the Shiner 100 for those of you in Texas who might also be riding it.

Bike - easy 6 miles today.

Tomorrow is 10 miles!

Baby steps!

Missbumble 

Ok I'll bite..what is the program for beginners????

XR2

Well I have to go public do I?OK then.This morning on the crappy scale I have I was anywhere between 280 and 305 depending on where I stood.I want to be as close to 200 by the end of the year as I can safely be.

Goals this week
1.)Get a decent scale so I know how it's going
2.)I'm writing down everything I eat to see where I am and what needs to change
3.)Exercise a bit daily-even if it's just going for a walk.Riding 'round here just isn't gonna happen right now.

Dam now I hafta do it...............

Bodydoc2002

goals for the year:
- 5000 miles in 2010
- ideal weight by the end of 2010 (210 lbs)
- vegan diet all year


I was as much as 260 during 2009. started dropping weight quickly when i got my new bike in november (surly cross check). going vegan a month ago helped me shave off 10 lbs quick!

Bodydoc2002

Hey Jart...Was going vegan that hard? I have thought about that several times myself....

RayB

Here we go

Well I am 6'5 and ballooned big time over the past year after having some health issues that have slowed down my riding.... a lot... My goals are just to continue to eat better to try to limit the effect of all this health crap that is going on just to try to feel better.

This weeks weight is: 311

Goals for this week are:

1) Continue to eat a veggie diet
2) Finish getting my bike put back together (ordered the wrong fork!!!)
3) Drop 2 lbs.
4) If I can't ride on any specific day, then I will walk from a few subway stops away.
5) Have fun doing it.

Good luck!

I'm keeping record form my official start of late December. Have been hitting the trainer pretty hard, doing spin classes, and weights, eating better and tons of water.
26-12-09 - 240lbs
12-01-10 - 230lbs

Total lost - 10lbs

Wylde06

Ill do this also...will give me more motivation to eat better and lose more weight

Just weighed in at 226.

My goals for the week
1) Ride the trainer more than last week (at least 45 a minutes a day, 3-4 days)
2) No eating out on my lunch break at work
3) Eat better portions and try to stop snacking at night...(definitely dont snack as much as i do...but the urge still comes up)
4) Ill be realistic and say I want to try and lose 2 pounds

My goal for this winter as a whole is to ride the trainer as much as I did last year, every day for a minimum of 10 miles. If it wasnt so boring, I know I could stand being on it a lot more.

this week
1) go to gym before membership expires. try a couple gyms closer to home. experience will determine whether I renew; may try a yoga school instead of gym. much procrastination expected.
2) go to work an hour early and use their treadmill/eliptical.
3) cut back on the ice cream, you don't want to know.

XR2

Well I got the scale.
Drumroll please...................301.6.
