DAY ONE - The Race Weigh In
 

Here we are. The official start of our race to 5lbs. I'll start with my weight.

114lbs.

Yes, that's up from my ticker...I know. :o I refuse to move the numbers in my ticker UP so I'll just have to get back to 113 really quick. :D

Not going to be able to join the race until Monday morning. i will be there, though.:wave:

Good morning!

My official start is 139.8...so 5 pounds would put me at 134.8!

Good luck guys!

157 lbs

I am up 3 pounds from last week, largely due to poor eating habits, but I suspect TOM is preparing to visit as well. Is it fair to record my starting weight at 157 when it might largely have to do with TOM? Oh well, I guess so. Five pounds will still take me lower then what I was before this 3 pound gain today. I will change my ticker tomorrow. Gotta go!

BRING IT ON!!! Today's weight = 139lbs.....................

CuppaJoe:carrot:

I'll join in the race tomorrow morning, I didn't weigh myself today... But I'm pretty sure I am at 148... I want to be down to 143 I haven't seen that number in eons!!! Seriously!! :yes:

I'm in! I was at 138.0 this morning. I suspect that some of that is water retention, but that's what the scale said so that's what I'm going with. 133.0 would be heavenly. That's the exact amount I weighed on the day I got pregnant with my (now 2 yr old) daughter, so reaching it again will be a milestone.

I'm in too. Weight is up from 138 last week - bad week, I guess.

I'm 141.4, so goal is 136.4. Interesting that many of us are right around the same weight right now (140-ish or so).

Good luck all!

I posted this over the other thread... So, I'll re-post it over here:

Well, I weighed in this morning at 154! So, my 5 pounds will finally put me in the 140s! 149, here I come!

PS~Clykk, We've got the same starting weight Ready to race to 149?

Azure We WERE at the same starting weight, but I weighed in 3 pounds heavier this morning!!! I feel like I have all the symptoms of TOM approaching, feel bloated, bumping into things right and left, irritable, quiet...BUT I looked back on my thread and see it has only been 2 weeks since TOM visited last, so I guess I can't blame this on TOM. I have been eating more crap then usual and some of that being chips, so I suppose I have created my own bloating process. Time will tell. I usually w/i on Monday mornings, so I am giving myself this one more day to see if the scale will make a dip before I change my ticker back!

Day one race
 

A bit late, but i made it. 152 lbs and TOM coming in 2 days. :(

Mini goal: 149

Good news!
 

I w/i this morning which is my usual day of the week to w/i and I am back to 154 lbs. Phew!!!! So...to be fair, I am starting this challenge at 154 lbs, instead of the 157 I registered on the scale yesterday. I am amazed at how the scale can fluctuate!!!

So, Azure, THE RACE IS ON!!

I am scheduled to eat only fruit today. My eating program has an All-Fruit Day twice a month. This challenge should help me stick to it today!

Same as my ticker.....

115.5....here we go!

Oops. I posted in the other thread, too!

Sunday's starting weight was 146.6. 5 pounds will put me at 141.5

Ick, I had to change my ticker to 150 :fr: .... I'm in for 5 lbs to START, but I'll be glad to get to 140 lbs...

Can I do this too?
This morning i was 131.2....this race will let me see the 120.s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this only for the weigh ins? Anyway...for my part I did yoga and my cardio today....I'm determined to win!

I am late but here! Starting weight: 135

Hi all,

Count me in.
Start weight 157 - after a crazy foody w/e
Finish 152

-S

Hi All! I am new to this forum/site as of today. I would like to join in on your race, I think this type of support might be good for me! 144-5=139! Yea me! Go me!

148 this morning :D ... Do we weigh-in once/week only, on Mondays let's say? ....

I think once a week should be good...either Sunday or Monday.

I may stick with Friday (my usual) as I am in the habit of being a little more relaxed with eating on weekends. I kind of have to be flexible because weekends often bring unexpected or off routine food for me. I can report my Friday weight on Sun or Mon though... no prob!

I think I'm a couple of days late, but I want to play! I weighed in at 131 this a.m. so I'll start there. 131-5=126, boy that would be great!

forgot to post my starting weight but its 153.5-so my goal is 148.

I also posted in the other thread, but, heck, I'll update while I'm at it:

Start: 141.5
Current, as of this am: 138

I imagine this will bounce up a bit. I tend to be a "bouncer," and this is a low.

As I've posted elsewhere, I'm no longer all that interested in losing more weight. I don't have much fat to lose (measured yesterday at 14.25% BF) and I don't want to lose muscle. But, I'm happy to become the pace car, or just cheer y'all on from the sidelines!
