[...] Back in December, I made a serious effort at getting into the 160s, by doing a contest where a whole bunch of us tried to lose ten pounds by Christmas. [...]

Starting weight on 12/8/10 -231
12/13/10 -225.5
12/20/10 -225
12/23/10 -224.5
I did not make 10 pounds the by last weigh-in…
But, 9 pounds in a little over 3 weeks is not too bad.
12/24/10 -222
As I mentioned before, my ultimate goal is to get below 200. 45 minutes and 9.32 miles on the indoor trainer just now. A balmy 55 degrees in the garage.
Merry Christmas to all. And, to all a good night.

I made it thanks to today!
Started 11/30 at 178. (rose to 181 2 days later)
12/6 177
12/13 176
12/20 172
12/23 168
Today, I did five fast-paced hours of cross-country skiing including two grueling, long, mostly uphill races with a light lunch during the day and little drink once second race completed. Would not have made it without today.

[reposting from other thread]

1. Your starting weight – 321
2. Today’s weight – 315
3. How much you’ve lost – 6 pounds

Aaaarrgh! I’m back up 3 lbs! Oh, the humanity!

At this point, I am restricting my food intake (as if it weren’t already restricted enough) and attempting – not quite successfully – to avoid all of the Christmas cookies and candy around my house. I just recently stopped drinking coffee in the morning, could that be the source of the 3 lbs? I may need to go back on the bean to regain traction!

Not a lot of progress. I probably will not make the 10 pounds before Christmas.
But, I’m trying to use the indoor trainer every day. Four times in the last 6 days.
So, getting 10 pounds off before New Years is a reasonable goal. My ultimate goal is to eventually get below 200.
I am also generating donations to the “Bikes Belong Founddation” (aka People for Bikes) thanks to Pedro’s and the folks at http://www.plus3network.com. Check it out. You can do it too.

Started at 178 on 11/30, was 177 on 12/6, 176 on 12/13, and down to 172 yesterday (12/20). The two factors in last week’s success versus the other weeks was I stopped resistance exercise and do only aerobic exercising every day and I finally started eating smaller portions(the latter factor seems to result from the former). With only three days left, 10 pounds is still a long-shot, but I’m in a good groove now, so, you never know.
