Racing Weight (Page 11)

Home from a week of vacation... I was a little scared to step on the scale, but it seems I did okay!

Monday weight in - 144.

I'm on vacation next week - 7 night cruise w/ 24/7 access to food & drink. Moderation and keeping up with workouts is the plan I'm going to stick to for this.

214.6 lbs this AM, down from 216.4 lbs last week. 

235 lbs this afternoon, I forgot to weigh myself this morning.  Up a pound or 2 from last week.  Had a wedding this weekend, so drinking and eating was above the norm lol.  Have my 1st tri (sprint) next weekend.  Man I hope I am ready will hit it hard last week and watch what I eat. 


Great job to everyone. Keep up the good work.

214 for me today. Pushing for sub 210 by end of month

I started last year at 255, then started my tri training when I got down to 230-ish.  My first OLY, last Sept, I was around 225.

Over the winter I had a couple of small injuries but didn't change my diet so I held in the 220's.  When I started training in the spring, I got down to 217 by the end of May.

This morning I was 207.0.  I have 4.5 solid weeks of HIM training before I start to taper so I would like to get as close to 200lbs as possible.  My HIM is very hilly so every little bit will help.

Sorry I didn't post on Monday, had computer problems.

I had a really bad week/weekend last week and was up 2 lbs on Monday at 146.  Today I'm back to 144 and have got in good workouts the past 3 days and the weekend looks promising for me so hoping to see the scale move down a bit by Monday.

The rest of you are doing great !!!

214.8 lbs this am, up .2 lbs from last week.  Finished my first tri yesterday in Morgantown and had a celebratory dinner feast.  Back to the grind today though!

Weight this morning was 141! That's down 3 lbs from last week, but I think that's a bit of a fluke, though. I had a race yesterday, and suspect I may still be down a little "water weight". I'll be thrilled if it more or less holds, though!!

Holding at 144... time to make some changes.  Going to start logging my nutrition to get a handle on my real calorie intake and stay away from junk more.  It only takes me one junk meal and I'm up a couple pounds for days.
This should be a good week for training.. I only work two nights.  Sunday will be an off day but every other day I will get something done.

AND I bought the 'Racing Weight' book.

Great job!

Back from my little binge in Vegas

Will weigh in later.... might not be pretty

My weight  was not good after I got back from Vegas, lol but it did not take long to get it backoff.


Weighed in this morning at 232 lbs down 3 from last week.  Got 1st tri coming up this weekend starting to get nervous(excited).  I am probably in the best shape I have been in since college so hopefully I will do better.  Keep up the good work and do not get discouaraged about gaining a pound here or there. 

back in this month been a bit sick so no training for the week

weight monday 9 was 215lbs

216 today, up 2 from last week

Enough excuses, time to hammer!

Back from the cruise. Weigh in this AM. Don't feel like I gained any while away, but we'll see....

Weighed in at 212.5 lbs this morning, I wish every week would result in that kind of weight loss, down from 214.8 lbs last week.

218.2 this morning, heading the wrong way fast

I've hit a plateau - been at 229/230 for 2+ weeks. Sure, one of the weeks was vacation where I was on a cruise ship w/ food 24/7, but I've leveled off. Need to ramp up the workouts and watch the food to get this moving again.

I've been stuck between 207 - 210 for a while as well.  It seems odd because of the training I've been doing.  I have to pay attention to any "extras" I may be consuming that are adding too many calories. 

I was able to ride the Savageman bike course this past weekend and if I can drop any pounds over the next 5 weeks, it will definitely help!  That place should be nuked to the ground to fix those hills.  LOL

Stuck at 190.  Upping my training from sprint focused to Oly focused here in a couple weeks.  Should help out.  Oh and added some ECY to my supplements.

143.6 for me Monday morning.. that's down 1/2 a pound from last week.  Had a super busy weekend away from home that included a birthday party for a friend but I ate pretty well.  My downfall was going to the movies friday night and eating half a bag of buttery salty popcorn.
This coming weekend will be another away from home one surrounded by bad food.  Logging my food is really helping keep me on track.

I am going to try and ride it this weekend.  I live about 3 miles from it in McHenry, was going to this past weekend but wasn't able to convince the kids that we shouldn't be at the fairgrounds, lol.

217.2 for me this morning

230 lbs this morning.  5 more to go before Sep 1st. 

Did y first tri of the year on Saturday.  I have to say I did better then I thought I would.  Did not have to rest during the swim which was huge for me. Knocked off 20 min from last years time.  It took me 1:34:01.  I was very happy but I want to do better.  I want to see how good I can do.  I have not felt this good in a long time and have not been in the 220's since my freshman year in college. 

Keep up the good work everybody.
