TEAM SKINNY - May Flowers (May2010) (Page 5)

Thanks Craig.  It really is thanks to all the great people on this website reaching for their goals now, rather than waiting to reach some magical goal weight before they begin.  Before I started reading here, I thought I had to lose weight before I could start to run.  Reading about everyone's accomplishments has made me realize that there is no need to wait; now is the time to start working towards my goals.  Have a great week.

May 5 - 235
May 13 - 236.5

Up a pound & a half

My taper week is killing me!   

Last week was 213.2, this week I weighed in at 212. I'll take it!

Thanks Paul. No secret; the first week back at keeping track is always successful! I'm doing WW on line.

Here's this week's weigh in, a little belated!

April 27: 224.2
May 4: 216.9
May 11: 216.3
May 18: ?
May 25: ?
June 1: ?

Obviously not as good, but I'll take it since I didn't feel like I had eaten very well. I need to go back in the thread and figure out what my goal for the month was... can't remember.

It was 216... looks like that goal will be doable!

Congrats! I wish I were taking off the weight as consistently as you have been.  Keep up the good work. You shouldn't have any problem hitting your goal weight this month. 

Don't you just love the feeling you have after getting in a really good workout? Way to go! 

Only .3 to go and you still have half the month. Good job! Have you considered changing your goal to keep you working at it? 

I had a bad day involving chips and some junk food on Tuesday so I put off my weigh in for a day. Usually weigh in first thing in the morning but forgot and didn't weigh in until after dinner. Ended up gaining a little but I think I got off pretty easy considering how much I ate Tuesday. I'm hoping part of the weight gain was dinner. I've been doing much better since then though. Need to get going again so I can meet my goal for the month.
4/28 - 201.0
5/05 - 199.0
5/13 - 199.6

212 was the goal...Are we there yet?

wow hopped on scale this morning and was 262.2 I had been 256.... I can only imagine its water weight. Although I didnt eat much junk food this past week. It was a plethora of ham and bacon, with alot of diet sodas all weekend at brewer game. Come to think of it, I dont remember the last non-salty meal I had the past few days.

Salt is bad.....Ham and Bacon are good......I see the dilemma.

been in bed with the flu for three days this week so not sure if going to hit goal becuase i have tried to eat lots more carbs for energy etc... will see tomorrow when i go to the scales!

4/28 = 267.4
5/05 = 261.4
5/12 = 258.8
5/17 = 256.4

goal for end of May.... 257

considering I had went up to 262.2 when I weighed in Monday morning. This was a welcome site. I still cant believe I can gain 6lbs of water weight in a few days. Dayum....Im like a freaking sponge!

Since I have a week left, well a little more than a week actually. I am going try and hit 253.5

I made the awful realization a few days ago that my bathroom scale was not zeroed out.... I actually started the month a few pounds heavier than I thought. The good news is I'm down about 4 lbs. for the month so far, the bad news is I have further to go than I thought... I won't make my weight goal for the month, but I will probably end up down 5 or 6 lbs by the end of the month, so at least I'm moving in the right direction.

April 28th - 181
May 5th-    178.8 -2.2
May 12th- 177.8 -1
May 19th- 174.6 -3.2

Goal for May 173

Thanks Sailing for telling me what I needed to hear. I tried to be a little better with my eating and I guess it helped.

4/28 - 204
5/5 - 202
5/12 - 199
5/19 - 197.5 

Goal for May is 196.

I had a little setback on Monday.  I was running in the AM and I had to cut it short because of intense pain in my shins.  It felt different from from the shin splints I remember from high school - it was much more intense.  I came home and iced them and took it easy the rest of the day and I took yesterday off.  I ran trails for the first time on Saturday so that may have had something to do with it.  I think I'm going to cross train today and wait until Friday to go for an easy run. 

Marchish - 266 when I decied to make a life style change.

May 5th - 252
May 11th -250
May 18th - 248

WOOHOO under 250, 18lbs total down and well on my way to 243 goal for end of month.. Might need to push a bit more to get 5lbs in the next two weeks..

Working out 5-6 days a week right now and loving it. Even ran in the cold rain the other night... because I couldn't let myself down.  My wife is not into the same workouts or doing a Tri but she is down 10lbs too now, and started the week after me... very proud of her.

Apr - 28 301
May - o5 300
May - 12 298
May - 19 298

May goal 295

Still 298 not a bad thing. I didn't work out that hard this past week but I'm going to have to push now to hit my May goal.

May 5:  157.4
May 12: 153.9
May 19:  151.3
Goal:  150

*sigh*  I thought I'd come under my goal today.  Maybe next week.

Congrats! that's great when you meet goal early. 

Wow, a lot of people reaching goals already this month. Congrats everyone!
I have about 1.5 a week to lose to hit my goal of 196.

Good job Sponge Bob AKA Garceau
