I missed last week due to Memorial Day. I don't think my weight changed much that week. The last few days I haven't been able to ride I have a few things to get repaired on my bike, which I need to do today.

Not sure if I'm out of synch with the weekly schedule, but here goes:

All-time high: 304.5 in May, 2004

01/01 - 210.5
01/08 - 209.5
01/15 - 210.5

02/05 - 212.5
02/12 - 208.5
02/19 - 199.0
02/26 - 201.5
03/05 - did not weigh
03/12 - 203.0
03/19 - 200.5
03/26 - 198.5
04/02 - 198.5

I've been bumping up my activity level in a poorly-designed effort at training, first for last weekend's 5K, next for this weekend's TdC ride, and on into the summer for the team tri I've been drafted to do in August. That's been causing me to want to eat everything in sight. Hard to keep nature at bay, but I'll try.

I currently weigh on Fridays. I am not consistent on what day of the week I weigh in and often miss weeks.
All time high: 158 in December 2010
March 30: 143.5 First weigh in since the 158 reading. Was in Texas for the winter and I did not weigh myself, just counted the calories.
April 6: 140
April 13: 139
April 20: 137
April 27: 137
May 3: 136.5
May 9: 135
On trip, no weighing until June
June 3: 131

Goal, four pounds a month. (A hair less than a pound a week)

Greetings,

Came across these forums a couple of days ago. Found a lot of motivation.

Have always been big, mostly because I really like food. During graduate school I lost a lot of weight and did a pretty good job of keeping it off. Well a marriage, two jobs and two kids later I had put much of it back on. On a recent trip to New Hampshire (to get measured for some custom Limmer Boots, I really like backpacking) my three year old was out hiking me on a short hike up a short hill. I decided that if I ever wanted to use the boots I would have to start reigning my weight back in.

4/25/2011 - 257lbs
6/6/2011 - 245.6 lbs

So far so good. I though it would not hurt to have some more accountability by posting my weight here for all the world to see. My primary job is a school teacher, which comes to an end in another week. With more time on the bike and being more active in general I would like to be entering the 220's when school starts in September.

Thank you all for the motivation and for reading.

Figured I need to get more accountable and this is a great way to start!

06/06/11 - 346 lbs

For this first week I would like to aim to for a 2lb weight loss and look to log 100km on the bike by Sunday evening. As of today I have 10km from the daily commute.

Thanks everyone for the motivation and have a good week!

Hey, it's a pound lighter than you were last week. And who among us wouldn't be thrilled to be 52 pounds lighter right now than we were a year ago?

Been off the wagon for a while. Started with the flue and then this blasted heat. What happened to SPRING. Now I'm back so thanks for still being here. I got to hand it to you guys for staying on track. Way to go Ya'll.
