A Little Madness - 2008-12-08 9:15 AM I'm up half a pound. Not sure how it happened. Not fair!
I gained 3 pounds. I think it was the medium pizza I took down last night. Do we get bonus points for the most impressive weight gain in one week?

LOL...now there is an idea, I could be a contender if we changed the rules for that. 

Originally I had figured on a point deduction for gaining weight, but then decided that was too much of a negative vibe.  If you've gained weight, there is enough to deal with without rubbing salt in the wound as well, so I've just counted weight loss as a bonus and not worried about weight gain.

So far as a group we've lost a combined 41 pounds this past week, and that is with 18 out of 48 listed challenge members!

 

Psh...we kick a$$ !!

That's impressive! Wish I could contribute to the total but I'm up a pound. Just more for me to lose next week I guess

I'm down 1 lb this week, which is good in my book. This challenge is great and seeing how kick butt some of you all are has me excited to get on the trainer tonight.

Well another day, another  spin class (70 mins). Plus another 30 min recovery spin this morning.

Now my rant:

750 minutes of freaking biking my butt into numbness and a total of over 16 hours training last week....I lost 1 freaking pound......ONE POUND! Pfft!

Grats to everyone else that last some real weight

Well, being a guy who can afford to lose 20 lbs, I'm thinking maybe you're just one of those insanely thin people that always go blowing by me in every race I'm in!! 

Congrats on the tremendous mileage though, you really put in a huge effort this past week!

OK sounds good!  I've been reading your log for the times, but I think I had credited you  with 5 extra bonus points by mistake.  The total should come to 130 points, so I've just fixed my error! 

Hmmm, I use trig at work all the time, it comes pretty easy.  I guess simple addition is my downfall....LOL 

Here's the latest spreadsheet.  The only things missing are the daily totals and final points of the 5 people who had weight loss today, but still have blank logs as far as trainer minutes.  I tend to get some of the west coasters later on in the evening as they update their logs.

For the weight loss component, isn't it the net gain/loss from beginning to the end of the month?

Actually I was doing the bonus points based on weekly weight loss, instead of waiting until the entire month was completed.  I'm not sure it makes a difference, but I figured by doing it that way, at least it gave people a chance to shoot for some bonus points on the short term.  I thought they might lose interest in it if they had to wait the 30 days to see how much of a bonus it would be.  Does this make any sense?  LOL, I'm not sure any of it does, there really was no scientific reasoning behind it all, I was just throwing ideas in the air and hoping that it all worked out in the end!

Hey Max,  it looks like my knee is not going to hold up to riding the trainer every day so I think it is best that I drop out of the challenge.  Thanks again for starting this and I wish that I was able to participate.  Good luck to everyone!

That's cool. I suppose it also gives other people motivation, you know, who probably are not going to drop the big pounds, if you care about the standings, which I don't, really....just saying.

Got in a quick ride before bed last night, then another quick one this morning.  Also, the scale puts me down another 1.5 pounds from yesterday!  Hoping for a run this afternoon if the weather will move out!

OK Randi, I'll take you off the list.  Hope your knee feels better after the first of the year.  Take care of it now and avoid a long period of frustration next year when the warm weather comes around.  Nothing worse than an injury right during the middle of tri season!!

max,

I got in a ride home from work yesterday for an additional 40min but today I'm taking care of sick kids (hoping that I don't get sick as well!!).  I'll try pulling out the trainer today if I don't start heading south myself.
