10 in 4 challenge

What's the official start and end dates? I'll join. 

I'll weigh in tommorow night and go through 9/7. 

 so 2.5 lbs a week x 3500 calories per pound = 1250 calories down per day.  Rough work

 Good luck people!

Count me in.. I'd love to be 10 lbs lighter for my 'A' race on Sept 14.

I'll weigh in Monday morning and consider that my start day.

Official weigh in - 145 lbs.

My first temptation will come this afternoon when I attend a baby shower that will have lots of tasty snacks.

217.4

I was 205 last September and have pretty much gained 1lb each month since.  Maybe I can end Sept 08' the same weight last year!

Depends how much you have to lose.  If you are 12% BF already, then it is pretty impossible.  

I'm in. I weighed in at 234.

I am running first tri on Sep 21 and have lost 25 lbs so far.  I have been in a holding pattern lately and perhaps this will help me bust through. 

I am not 12% body fat, although I have never had my body fat measure taken, I can just look down and see I am not 12%. I think that I could do it, close to 10 anyway. Anyone have any suggestions for post work fuelling that is low cal. I tend to get ravenous after racing and for the rest of the day. I am going to up my protein intake and try having an Endurox shake just after.

I feel that I'm doing well also.  I'm focusing on eating healthy foods and drinking lots of water.  I also want to cut out coffee and diet coke from my diet and haven't had either since sunday.

Good luck everyone.

Shermbelle - 2008-08-11 8:15 AM Official weigh in for me- 218.6

Ate pretty good for two days and amazingly I am down to 213.4 already. Have a big rest of the week planned as far as workouts so hopefully can keep it up!

That is good advice about the diet vs. triathlon. If you are going to race then yes, you should be able to suck it up (the dieting) in the same way as you do race. I will take that attitude with me. I have an Xterra on Oct. 26th and its not easy, but I will do it. I will take that attitude with me in the next 4 weeks and get these 10lbs off! Thanks support team!

I cut Diet Coke out of my diet, only having it a couple of times a year, try drikink Pellegrino instead, it has the carvbination. It is better then Perrier and other bottled waters. You can even add a little OJ or Cranberry. Costco has it by the case. It hasnt got the caffeine, but its good.

As far as cutting out coffee...just start drinking 1/2 regular and 1/2 Decaf....coffee isnt neccessarily bad for you by the way! Just too much is!
