10 Week Trim Challenge! 14th July - 22nd September (Page 2)

i would like to join.  I was 240 last monday.  Dr said need to do something about weight.  I am a true beginner in tri-ing.  I have in the distant past done a mile ocean swim.  Have run some 5Ks.  But never done anything on a bike in terms of racing.  My daughter wants to do a tri, so I am game to start with her.

Goal - start with 10 pounds in 10 weeks.

congrats on taking the first step toward better health. Find a race and sign up for it, it is a great motivator when you plunk down some cash towards a race!

7/21/08: 250 --so far, so good. Swimming 1 mile on Mon,Wed, Fri, and doing other activities including some weight lifting on Tue, Thur, Sat. Sunday is a rest day.

On Sunday morning I was at 249, but I think the salt from the soy sauce in my otherwise healthy chicken dinner Sunday night might have left me with a bit more water weight than normal. No biggie, though--still "on course."

July 14-250.8

July 21-249.2

Goal- 225.0

Alright Troops! Time for the next weigh in!

21st July 2008

Weighing in 174 today.

Was 176 when we began.

Loss is about 0.5kg which is not too bad... I am doing a lot of strength training so some of that would be muscle gain rather than fat loss.

My aims for now are to take a better control of my diet, and eat less packaged foods!

Aim for the end of the 10 weeks is still 155-165 

I know I am a few weeks late but if it's OK I would like to join the challenge.  I need to be held accountable to someone to make me stick to my goals.  I weighed in this morning at 196.4.  My goal over the next several weeks is 185-190. I am training for my first Tri Sept 27 and I am struggling with motivation.

Last Week:  312

This morning: 314

But I am giving myself a pass since this was my one vacation this summer with friends in Vegas that do not share my eating goals.  Snacked hard, trained harder. 

Last week 151

This week 150.

Gggrrr! Even with moving the scales around the bathroom. still hopefully more ths week

I'm up a pound too.  Last week: 172 ... this morning 173. 

I just did my first HIM last Sunday so I've really been slacking this week with dieting and training.  But that all ends today.  Today I start training for my October HIM and my November Marathon. 

My goal by end of Summer is 164.

I'd love to join  (even though I'm a week late).  I did weigh in last Monday (264.5) and just jumped off the scale this morning (261).

I signed up for a sprint tri on September 13 and have been training since late April.  My times/speed/endurance have seen marked improvement but my scale keeps hovering around the 260 mark. 

I need some accountability to eat better and push harder, and maybe some tips on how to get healthier as I'm improving my endurance.

BTW can anyone define a Clydesdale?  I'm assuming it's lager tri-athletes, but are there any set definitions?  Do all races have this as an actual category of racer?

Thanks,

Todd W.
