Team Skinny...May 2011 Summer is around the corner (Page 2)

rjba2000 - 2011-05-06 2:55 AM Is this the Team Skinny that has been around for a long, long time? I was one of the original members. Unfortunately, something happened somewhere along the way, and I . . . stopped. Looking back, I don't know why, really. All I know is that I got on the scale today, and it stopped at the highest weight I carried at the beginning of the BT challenges I participated in dating clear back to 2005. Wow. All the weight I had lost was back again, and it shows.

So, realizing (again) that something needs to give, I dusted off the old training plan and reviewed my results from those long-lost days. I saw no dramatic weight loss, just a little bit per week, but it was enough. (Of course, just a little bit per week was enough to put it back on again.) So, now I'm back, if you'll have me. I believe being a part of Team Skinny the first time around really did help me achieve my goals.

So here it is: starting today at 180.0 (gulp), with a goal to be at 170 by the end of May. That's actually just a little bit more than I lost over a similar period the first go 'round, so I'm looking forward to the challenge.

Welcome back, yeah we are still here. People still come and go but the Team Skinny lives on. Glad to have you back.

AWESOME welcome back I have only  been here a year.. or just under a year. It evolves people come and go the but the principle and the open arms remain from what I have seen. Thanks to those that originally started it.

GULP that is closer then I had hoped for. But I am HAMMERING this week. I adjusted my work out plan and got a BRICK in yesterday. 83 mins of working out.. First BRICK in a long time. My legs felt like lead and they are sore today but I feel FRIGGING AMAZING TODAY.

Well I most likely helped your cause this week, since I catapulted off the back of the wagon for a couple of days. Whoops. Back on track today. Have to keep reminding myself that one poor choice does not equal a total waste (or justify trashing the entire day).

Taking my bike out for my first ride this weekend. Can't wait!!

rnihill - 2011-05-06 11:51 AM I'd like to jump in this month if I can!  My weight crept up over the winter and need to get back down.  If nothing else, so I can fit in my wet suit.    My training has been hampered by the carpal tunnel release surgery I had about 6 weeks ago.  I started the month off at 141.7 (I think) and I'd really like to shoot for 5 pounds this month.

Welcome!!

215.2 today, down .8

Weekend was rough eating or it would have been a very nice week

I know I'm getting a late start but can I still join the group. I was at 189 this morning and my over all weight loss goal is to loss 55 pounds by my birthday this year which is 9/29.

For this week my goal is to loss 3 pounds.

April 27th was 210.5 lbs

May 5th 214.5 lbs Like I said I was up from Easter and maybe water content too.

May 11th 209.5 lbs

I think it helps that I managed to get some longer bike rides in this last week and frankly just didn't stop hammering things out and increasing my veggie intake. And watching when I consume my protein and carbs to balance them with every meal.

I can see being under 200 in my future now. Not sure how long it will take. But the RACE is on to get there. WOOHOO....

Good job even with the weekend SB.

How is everyone else doing. The weather is getting nicer and I am outside a lot more I know that.

No start is a late start. Welcome. Join right away, glad you shared where you are and where you want to get to. WOOHOOO.... We are all here progressing in the right direction over the long term. Check in and share your story along the way.

I forgot to take the two weddings this month into consideration when setting my goal. I definitely went the wrong direction with yesterday's wedding. I'll have to be careful this next week and hopefully lose what I gained last week before the wedding next weekend.

no movement but I didn't eat that Great this week either. I ate like a pig after my 5k race on sunday actually and I totally used it as an excuse to carb load on Friday and Saturday...HAHHA.. So I am happy I am the same.

Good Day All,

Today's weight 195.8.  Getting closer to my max BMI for healthy weight (189lbs.)  Stopped tracking my food so retentively but have been able to keep the habit of making good food choices.  Of course first race is in 3 weeks so training has been more intense.  So far I'm happy with results.  

Hope everyone has a great week...

Well... it used to be that my first couple of weeks on a diet were really successful. I knew it was probably mostly water weight but it was still encouraging. This time around, not so much. Going down, just more slowly than I expected. C'est la vie. At least it's still in the right direction

Start of May: 207.5

Today: 205.2
