Anon- thanks! I actually had lost 50 lbs and then I like umm gained a bit :X hence the 5 cheerleaders in my siggy lol but yes NEXT WEEK! I will be back in the 50 lb down club! hehehehe

Munchey here, reporting actuals for 6-26-11 thru 7-2-11:

Weight loss = 2 lbs - Current wt. 229 (Woo Hoo, I'm in the 220's)
Walking = met 15 mile goal
Body Parts = met 5 day, 15 min
______________________________________
My goals for 7-3-11 thru 7-9-11 = Same as last week.
_____________________________________
My goals for 6-26-11 thru 7-2-11 were:
Weight loss = 2 lbs (Wt was. 231)
Walking = 15 miles
Exercise Body Parts = 15 minutes, 5 days

Wow! The shrinkage going on here is amazing. All those nearing goal and hitting goal and hitting the 50 lb mark are great inspiration!

MadamB - thanks for the advise. I wouldn't have thought of the padded shorts, but it sounds like a smart move! (One would think I'd have enough natural padding, but I bet the bike shorts will make it much more comfy.) Our rail trail is the same as yours - long and flat (which I also like, if we're talking about bike trails).

We had a little change in plans, since it is POURING out all day. We did go get the bikes, so we'd be all set tomorrow. The gym is closed tomorrow for the holiday, so we're going to hit the trail in the morning. You should have seen the two un-handiest people on earth, standing in the pouring rain, trying to figure out how to hook the bike rack on!

Last Sunday 155
This Sunday 154
Pledged 1lb
LOST 1b

I was hoping for two >< But knew that was unrealistic really at my height and weight.

I did the SHRED! I biked 14 miles this week, and I walked 2 miles.
If biking counts then I trekked 16 miles, if biking doesn't count... then I trekked only 2.


AND CONGRATS FOR EVERYONE WHO LOST! You're all amazing!

Next week I plan on being at 153! (-1lb... I have to be realistic).
And I pledge to bike 10 miles
And I pledge to walk 5 miles!

Lost: 1 lb
Pledge: 2 lbs
Trekked: 35 miles

Side Challenge: At 149 lbs (-1), need to get to 138 lbs (11 lbs to go)

I'm having a problem gaining write access to the spreadsheet. I'll try again later. I'm thinking that access is one person at a time.

Munchey

no loss no gain. :/

moving on, melting butt-er, looking ahead.

*** I also changed my spread sheet. ***
Huzzah!

I'm going camping, be back Wednesday... wish me luck! I'll do lots of hiking... and .. avoid the greasy foods I know we'll have... XD

The problem may be that you are trying to edit the PLATOON TOTAL page, which is locked. You should only edit your own individual tab, labeled "Munchey" found on the bottom of the spreadsheet. (They are in alphabetical order.) When you update your page, the PLATOON TOTAL page will automatically change to reflect this.

Awe poop!

Kuri--have fun camping

dcap -- stiff upper lip..."shut up and do the work..."

BNH-- How far are you to goal in the side challenges? I'm particularly interested in watching those taking on the GooMaster!

Rated -- Aren't you glad you got your head screwed on right this week???

Josey---AMAZING!!! Welcome to the 50+plus club!!! Sarge salutes you!

All you other losers and OVER-ACHIEVERS...ALL THESE LOSSES ARE AMAZING especially since it's a holiday weekend! The platoon ROCKS!

Sorry JayTee, i thought i mentioned going away this weekend, went way up north fishing with my family, no internet up there, no TV, no radio... You get the idea.

Anyways this is where i was.




And this is my niece taking my picture, i wasn't even ashamed of myself this year.




A Loon that was really bold, came within probably 15 feet of the boat to snoop.




And when i got home one of my new plants had finally bloomed, wow is that a beautiful flower, and huge...




Not to sure on my weight, did drink quite a bit this weekend but i ate extremely well i must say, i also went for quite a few smaller walks and i even went for a long swim with the girls, can't even remember the last time i swam, i really enjoyed that.

Still i'm gonna hit up my walk then clean up a bit and see about a weigh in, eek... If it's horrible i'll just use my 1 pound loss as of thurday as official because of travel and stress throwing a wrench into the plan.

Will check back later with pertinent info.

Hi everybody, hope everyone is doing fine and full of win.

thought id share cause this is cute and silly at the same time. I got voluntold to walk in the 4th of july parade tomorrow and was told to wear red, white and blue so I figured why not? the flower on the blue nail was supposed to be a star but i didnt have the right brush so it became a flower LOL






excuse the polish on the cuticle and skin i havn't removed it with remover yet.

Jeanettey weighing in,

I pledged 3 lbs and got 2 this week.

I'm happy with it and after the last three days I've had, working hard around the house, I wouldn't be surprised by some muscle gain.

I will pledge 3 for next week.

I want some exercise motivation and accountability so I would like to join Pokey, Courtney and Celrae's hardcore minutes challenge. ..

One question though, does the time start on sundays? If so I already got 120 minutes to count.

to everyone on their great losses this week!
