Started July @ 157, ended at 151, ultimate goal is to land somwwhere in the low- to mid-140's, we'll just say 140 is the goal . July has been great, but August is going to be somewhat more difficult. I'll be away from home for almost 3 weeks in August, meaning both my diet and exercise will likely be off. So... I'll aim for a minimal 2# weight loss this month - so my official August goal is 149. When Septemeber rolls around, I'll be able to get serious again!!

Dang,  that was quick for people to find this again.....lol.  Welcome back enders nice of you to join us.

Mindymin,  The requiremnts are a desire and a goal for the end of the month.  We weigh in on Wed's,  but the important thing is to weigh in the same day and approx. the same time.

Wow, congrats to everyone so far!! Laughing

Well I am 5' 8" and right now I am at 170lbs. Really all I want to do I get in shape and stay that way but my ultimate goal for weight loss is to get down to 140lbs.
This month I am going to shoot for 5-10 lbs. Try to at least get down to 165 and hopefully make it down to 160.

Good luck everyone, and I can’t wait to see all the wonderful improvements!! Wink

Welcome again Mindy and you too Mett.  I am a big believer in small attainable goals....or as I like to say baby steps.   Small victories makes for a great VICTORY!!!

Are you letting anyone else join?  If so, I'm in.

I've gained 15 lbs in the past year and a half, but mostly I'm wanting to tone up, more than lose weight.  I'm 5'4", 135 lb, would like to lose maybe ten pounds, or I would be happy gaining muscle and losing flab even if the scale stays the same.  I will post measurements soon because that will be more of an indicator of how I am doing.

hey all!  can I join too??  I'm 5'10" and 158...I'd like to get to around 140 by the end of the year.  my aim is to lose 8 lbs (or get to 150) by the end of the month!

i've settled into a kinda a squishy weight since starting a big person job, and i'd like to get back to my idle running/racing weight...mostly concerned, actually, about losing body fat.

Welcome Vosly and pennylope.  

Vosly,  you are correct it isn't always about losing weight just changing it.

Pennylope.  I can't wait to hear what a big person job is...LOL.

I'm still in.  I ended July at 143.8, so I didn't make the July goal of 140, so 140 looks like it is the goal for August.  Still working out every day for perfect peaches, still trying to do The Zone, still trying to lose another 10% body fat (or find out what my real body fat percentage is) still .... 

Actually, I am wondering why I am still sitting here in front of this computer instead of on my bike working on HILLS before it gets too hot, because we still have hot August days to go with the Hot August Nights.

Come to Vegas if you want to see hot Leah. 

Well did 16 miles today at a much more reasonable 11:18 per mile.  I did figure out that I should eat within 12-14 hours of doing a run like this.  At about mile 12 I was thinking a bagel would have been a good idea...maybe with peanut butter.  Heck by that point I was thinking a Pepsi looks good..

I am excited to get going. I am good on my diet but my job makes it tough because I have to eat dinner so late sometimes. Plus my willpower diminishes every once in a while. The hardest part for me is finding out the calories I need to lose weight and still be able to support my exercise.

Mett,  It is just a SWAG but I would imagine that you should be around 2700-3000 cals depending on your workouts.  Broben out to about 60-65 % Carb/20 % Protein/20-25 % fat.  If you can peg that then adjust up or down as needed.  Don't forget to plan a cheat day to have the things you rally want....Remember it is a cheat day not a gorge til you puke day.

Hi folks! I'd like to join too. I'm 176.5 this morning, would like to get down eventually to 120 (I'm 5'2.5"), and by the end of August weigh 170.

If I'm consistent with any sort of exercise, I lose weight. My eating seems to automatically improve. So I'll concentrate on that. I wish us all a great month!Laughing

Howdy! Hope you don't mind if I jump in!

Started at 325.

Starting all over again and at 300!

Mid goal of 250.

Ultimate goal 195.

Even as I write I get a little depressed about my weight, however I keep reminding myself "it's one day at a time".
