The Ghoulies are taking off the pounds in February!!!

Ok seriously, I did not like what the scale said when I weighed in.

I need to lose 10ish pounds total. 5 of that this month!

She has returned and hopefully EVERYONE will find their way over here.

Ok, the boys have fessed up, so I will too. I am more motivated if I am accountable.

I weighed in at 139. I hate that number, it is tooooo high.

I AM TAKING OFF THE WEIGHT!

Amy here is my $.02 on your training.

If you are worried about shin splints I'd go with the Hal Higdon novice plan. You run 4 days a week, your longest run being 10 miles. This is what I did, others here have used it as well, you will be fine.

I basically agree with Neal on the rest though.

If you can swim through the sprints, the half marathon training will take care of the run, and some long biking will cover you for your bikes. Maybe find an Olympic plan to use for your swim and bike, but add a little more to the bike miles, and substitute your HM running for the running in the Oly plan.

Sorry I'm not of more help, I'm still new to this, too.

hello Ghoulies.

I have not weighed yet.  Definitely want to lose weight, but haven't faced the scale. 

Over the last five months I have upped my exercise amazingly.  I eat fairly healthy, but obviously still too much I guess.  My body has toned up, but when I have checked the weight it has not budged.  Depressing. 

I know how you feel, Dee. I had lost 40 pounds then hit a rock wall, couldn't lose anything. I took some time off, from trying to lose weight, shifted the focus to just running, trying to keep on moving.

I'm ready to start losing weight again. I want to lose 10 pounds. I'm working on my training schedule from Feb through May now. Not all swim/bike/run there is some Yoga and strength training in there as well. I'm also hoping that mixing up the running will help, too. Not just running miles, but some speed miles in there.

I've only gained 3 pounds in the last 4 months, so it's not a lot, but it is not the direction I want to be heading.

Morning gang.  I weighed in and it is not good.  12.2 lbs away from race weight.  No wonder the jeans don't fit.  So, it will be a 5lb goal for February.

Morning all!  I am so glad we are doing this weight challenge...I really did not like what the scale said this morning...212!!! 

HOW DID I GAIN 4 pound OVER THE WEEKEND?????

I was 208 on Friday!

Anyway the goal is 206 by the end of the month!

Katie that could be a number of things...

weighing yourself at a different time of day

what you were wearing at the time you weighed in

water weight

Do you think you really ate 14,000+ calories over the weekend?

Well I did eat a lot...but no I do not think it was 14,000 calories!  I think that it is water weight since the other variables are fairly similar, and I started this goal to drink 8 glasses of water a day which greatly increased the amount of water I was drinking.

I just did my training schedule for the next 4 months, that will get me through Black Bear.

After reading it I think I need to go back and make some adjustments. Somehow I ended up swimming and biking 4x a week, while running 5. The running is because I threw a HM plan in for the running.

I don't really have a rest day where I do nothing. I'm not sure I can do nothing for a day.

I did biking in minutes for now. Once I can get outside that will change. My average speed is much faster outside than it is on the trainer. I want to get lots and lots of hills in, too. That won't be a problem since I have them EVERYWHERE!

I have to go back and take a second look now.

Morning Ghoulies! Welcome to February

My weigh in this morning was 214, and my goal by the end of the month is 210.

YEESSSSS!!!

I'm surprised! With our secondary goal this month (100 pages), I figured you guys would be through a half dozen pages by the time I got logged in today!

I don't know where everyone is. I have been lonely most of the day.
