20 lbs by September 1st... Who's coming with me??

I'm in. Same rules as the 7/1 challenge? Post weight every Friday?

 

This is tempting... that would put me somewhere around 220-225 which is getting close to my end goal weight. I'm not sure how feasible it is for me to continue to lose weight at 2.5 lbs per week as I approach my goal.

I'm going to have to think about it...

Oh screw it. Why not push the envelope? I'm in!

Starting weigh in set for Friday 7/1/2011

 

I'm in. I think my other challenge was too vague. I'll post starting weight on 07/01.

 

Welcome aboard, Mr. Thunder, sir!

I was trying to think of something for your challenge, since the goal would have been up to me, but I really couldn't sort out anything that I wanted to do by the weird end date. Had you posted it for the first or the end of a month, you might have gotten more response. So yeah... to vague AND too specific. I posted a challenge that was way too specific and complex and I don't think anyone will join it either, but that is life.

Not to worry, though. You're here now.

 

Yarr... let's kick some arse!

...I still like the calendar. I'll be running from the 1st to the 1st here.

 

I'm in

 

And 192.3 pounds as of this morning. ugh

 

Opening weigh in: 244.2 lbs

Was a little more dehydrated than usual this.morning at weigh in. This should be a pretty challenging start weight. I am second guessing this goal though, thinking it might create more lean mass loss than I'd like trying to hit it.

We shall see...

 

Count me in!

I will weigh and post weight on Wednesdays. As of 06/29/2011:

Weekly weight: 182#
Weekly delta: N/A
Challenge total: 0#


I am at ~20% bf now, so 2.5#/week may be a bit aggressive but I will give it a go.

Good luck to all!!!

 

Official Starting Weight: 244.2 lbs

You callin' Lenny fat?



I appreciate the sentiment and get what you're saying. I took a look at the calendar and we are talking about almost a full 9 weeks here. That would mean something like 2.25 lbs per week would get the job done.

I think I'll be looking for 2.5-3 lbs per week ideally, since I tend to see more fat loss and less lean mass sacrificed at that rate. I have seen some gains in strength when I slow my rate of weight loss down to that level. This is definitely doable.

Let's get it done!

 

I'm in!

starting weight:204lbs
goal weight: 184lbs
going to re-eval. my diet and exercise routine. i have aslo ordered a Omron-HBF-306C bodyfat analyzer. my scale takes bodyfat readings, but reading are all over the place. i am also thinking about getting a DEXA scan. it's said to be very accurate in finding out your actual bf%. i'll call this one place today.

Let the ass kicking begin!!!!!!!!!!

 

Starting weight - 191.4.

 

Sure, I'll play. It was already pretty much my goal, extra motivation never hurts. I'm not sure it's realistic to keep losing 2lbs a week at this point, but hey, you gotta aim high.

Starting weight: 190lbs
Goal weight: 170lbs

 

Lol. Thanks. I just put a link in my old challenge to redirect everyone here. haha.

My starting weight is kind of higher than it was a week or so ago. I was in the 160s but this morning I was at 172.2 so I'll take that as my starting weight and then my goal by Sept 1 should be 152.2 lbs. Which I think is very possible since I must be holding water or something and should drop 4 or 5 pounds of water pretty quickly....

Lets do it!!!

 

I'm in . . 217 lbs as of this morning, so hopefully I can get to 197 lbs

 

Starting weight -- 182 pounds

Wednesday, 07/06/2011:

Weekly weight: 181 pounds
Weekly delta: -1 pound
Challenge total: -1 pound

Not overwhelming, by any means, but at least I dropped some after a holiday weekend.

 

Weigh in today: 241.8 lbs
Weekly change: -2.4 lbs
Total change: -2.4 lbs

Right on track... although I did cram all the weight loss into the last two days pretty much.
