Hey everyone,

I think the title speaks for itself. For this challenge I'll weigh myself every 2 weeks (on Fridays), and hopefully by March 6 I'll be 20 lbs lighter :D, and so will everyone else who decides to take on this challenge!

Anyways, here are my stats:

Sex: Male
Age: 20
Height: 5'9"
Start Weight: 176lbs
Goal Weight: 156lbs

December 26, 2008
176 lbs

This is part of my plan anyway, so I might as well join in!

Age: 32
Male
6'0"
Starting weight on Dec 31st: 227lbs (down from 235 on Dec 21st)
2-6-09 weight: 216.6lbs = 10.4lbs lost. 9.6 to go!

Goal Weight for this challenge: 3-6-09 197lbs (WOW that is aggressive!!)
/edit Lets try again, 227 - 20 = 207lbs. That is still aggressive.

I'm in for this one as well, I am losing weight at the moment so will be up for the challenge.

Stats :

Age - 31
Sex - Male
Height - 5' 9"
Weight at 31/12 - 213 lb

Intend to get down to about 12 and a half stone (175 lb).

Looking to lose around 2lb a week - using Livestrong.com to track my meals per day - cutting down to 2100 calories a day in 6 clean meals.

My weight this morning was 210 so going good so far.

Best of luck to all involved.

Shady :D

Good luck to you too Shady. We have similar body weights and final goals, even though I am a bit shorter. Maybe we can help keep one another motivated.

Yeh definitely - I have been using the livestrong.com website to input my meals etc which allow me to keep a good track on what I am eating.

I have been trimming down to about 2100 calories a day which should in theory mean a loss of around 1-2 lbs a week.

Plus I have slowly been adding in a bit of exercise and decided to cycle to and from work today - 3.8 miles in and 5 miles home (more scenic route).

Weighed myself this morning and I am at 14st 13lbs (209 lbs) so its going well so far.

Looking to get back to doing some weights again soon.

Keep it going ppl !! :tu:

Down to just under 205 this morning - not been able to get out on the bike much recently due to crappy weather - ice/snow/wintry showers etc.

But the hockey season has started so that burnt some calories on Saturday.
