2010 STR Weight-Loss Challenge

Rode the loop with Takman and Evoracer last night. Takman tried getting people out for this ride. He certainly succeeded with getting me out. The following excuses did not work.

-My arms are sore
-My legs are sore
-I am tired
-I am sleeping in my bosses office (due to more riding than I've ever tried)
-I am sharing a monster drink with the shipping guy at work
-Julia is running late from PT

Evoracer and Takman waited for me we didn't start our ride until 6:40ish. It was Takman's intention to start the ride at 5:30.

It turned out to be a great ride and once on the bike I wasn't so tired. Thou at every climb they heard how sore my legs were. Takman said I would get used to riding in pain or my legs would get stronger (whatever).

Thanks for the ride and waiting for me.

Weight Loss Challenge June 22 Weigh-In

Thanks for weighing in this week. Quickly approaching the end of the "official" challenge, but hopefully this has set in some habits that will last.

- Cumulative weight-loss: 564.8 lbs :clap:
- Top 4 is now 50% male/50% female
- Can the leaders hold their spots for 1 more week?



If your weight was NOT listed, feel free to post your results in this thread! I will add it to next week's list.

 

Way to go. FG1, MethodX, You guy's rock. Ezzy. You got so light the sacle didn't ever register You go girl. I am happy to be ridding more. Week nights are a little tuff. Going to pick up Takman and do TT tonight.

Keep it up. Even though this challenge is comming to an end, doesn't mean that we need to stop the rides.

 

We are awesome!!!!

 

Way to go Elvia! You blew right past me! I guess I should get in more than 1 ride a week 8-[. Keep it up everyone, Dino will be taking photo's for the 2010 WLC Swimsuit Calendar next week. :lol:

 

Oh No!

Truly and Honestly you all look very amazing most importantly healthy.
I don't seem to see the same results in me.
Tara looks amazing!
Tara is a big inspiration to many of us girls.

Takman Thank You!
I just really don't like cheescake -- In-N-Out might work with Mc Donald's Apple Pie.

I'll admit to being appreciative of Sergeant Julia at home. Thank Goodness her competitiveness has kept me honest.

Also Sergeant Takman on the rides.

PS: My scale knows nothing about light weights.

You all totally rock!!!

-Ezzy

aahhh Takman and his cheesecakes #-o (j/k )

Elvia - you ROCK!

I'm riding twice today, twice tomorrow and this weekend - hoping to finish strong :wave:


(and I have some new cycling clothes picked out for when I get below my 140 mark at the end of summer/fall!)

 

Dropped the ball and missed my first weigh in ... Not that it matters at this point... 223 after fathers day and my bday.

 

It's hard to believe that 564 lbs have been lost so far... That's like SEVEN OLSON TWINS WORTH!!!!

 

Wow you guys are doing amazingly well, keep it up, thanks for including us Dino

 

ooo this is a hell of a prize, the man does awesome work!

good luck to everyone in the challenge!

 

Dang! with all that riding a cheese cake will help you ride stronger!#-o:lol:

 

awsome results everyone, keep it up :steppie:

 

Great job peeps. I knew the women were drafting us dudes. We're certainly (or were) big enough for it.

I had a great weekend up at Big Bear. I rode that whole mountain, up and down, side to side and all over again. I was amazed at the calories I was burning. What really hit me was that I was havng fun. I've been having fun during this whole challenge even with F'nguy1 turning the screws on me. I'm an optimist to a fault. The problem was, I wasn't having fun with the extra weight.

Riding has not become easier. I still give it my all. The difference is that I am able to ride more, longer and further than before. To me, that is the source of my fun.

I may be losing more lean mass along with fat than I prefer, but the change is one in a positive direction.
This has been an awesome experience. Awesome support. Awesome community to be a member of.

I will spare all of the provocative, adult type photos and just show these:

 

Fixing the flat tire on my bike right now getting ready for Turnbull tomorrow. Why did it have to be the back tire? I hate the back tire it makes me sweat hopefully lose some calories.

My girls called me screaming almost gave me a heartattack. They were screaming because they are so happy mom is #3. I doubt they will ever eat tofu again after this challenge.

-Elvia

 

Something just occurred to me...

Next time you go to the gym:
Pick up a 45lb. weight (amount lost by Fatguy)


Pick up a 5 gallon / 40lb. jug of water
(weight lost by MethodX)


Lift a 25lb. bag of rice over your head
(weight lost by dubl_xl)


Pick up a 15lb. bowling ball
(weight Moka has lost)


Pick up a one gallon / 9lb. bottle of water
(weight Rumpled has lost)

That's a lot of weight!


Keep up the good work! :clap:

 

I say we all go to Big Bear after this challenge no climbing.
