STR Weight Loss Challenge June 18th Results...



This week's results were even more disappointing than last... #-o
(even though I sent everyone PM reminders)

See post below for partial list of prizes.

C'mon people.... A little change here and there DOES make a difference!
(Diet Coke, Aspartame, Foods with the word DIET or LITE on the label are bad for you... Healthy foods are GOOD for you)

Magna_Graecia: I don't think you have what it takes to crack the Top 5...
(prove me wrong)

must cut back on beer intake.

 

I've been in Europe and the food in France and Switzerland creates an unfair obstacle!! #-o

 

@Dino: Challenge accepted. Let the games begin!

 

When I get back from vacation it's game on!

 

I have hit a plateaux and now seem to be gaining muscle mass. I will say I feel the healthiest I have felt in decades and have certainly leaned out a lot. I'm going to make a couple of hard pushes here toward the end, to see if I have any extra to loose. Big props to everyone, especially Eruizela who bumped way up in the rankings.

 

It seems I'm out of the competition for real. As expected, I've been asked to do overtime from now...until the first week of August... Will keep hitting the gym in the morning, but my after work road rides are kaput. Sub-200 was a real possibilty, too.

 

I'm done trying to cut pounds to win some cash. Weight and resistance training is the only way I'm going to achieve the goals I want.

I think we need to make the STR weight loss challenge more mountain bike related. Top 3 battle for the cash prize with a time trail climb, Cholla, mustard, or something similar.

 

Sorry man have to disagree with ya there ( and not just because I'm 2nd). That would be more of a fitness challenge not weight loss.

I have to say...this year is VERY pitiful - for me to still be in the top 10 is unreal.

I won't have time to ride a 'real' bike, but there is a crappy stationary one in the gym, in both Turkey (and Switzerland). I got home last night and am leaving again early Saturday. I'm going to commit to the gym and big cut in calories - I've been kinda watching and cruising.
The crepes; baked apples inside with caramel, caramel ice cream and whipped cream chased with a latte down on the waterfront of Lake Geneva... I've been rewarding my crazy days with comfort foods - no more, not this next trip.

Time to up the game a bit and meet those goals regardless of the travel and other excuses. I'm even gonna skip the popcorn at the premiere of World War Z tonight! :bang:

 

I forgot i even was in this ha ha
ahhh well i bow out

 

I agree with Julie...just no fun this year. I'm going to do my roadie WLC ride by myself it looks like, but oh well.

 

This so cal TRAIL RIDERS not Jenny Craig.

 

True but this competition is Jenny Craig for the trail riders

When is the WLC road ride? What kind of speed are we talking about?

 

well im finally back to my diet and exercise routine and i dropped 4lbs so far this week. hopefully i dont screw up this weekend.

 

I think part of Greg's feelings are attributed to the complete lack of group rides and the discussion of who's riding more to gain fitness, change in lifestyle, etc. 'Jenny Craig' of MTB Trail Riders is not gonna stick for longterm change. In the past, it's been a sharing of recipes, ideas and group rides (which needs to become more prolific in general here - assuming you all have ridding buddies and no need to allow others to join in your fun...).

We need to encourage and challenge each other, both here on the site, while out on the trail and when you're in the kitchen - to get out of your comfort zone and grow.

 

Hey I may be dead last and out of it for not posting up weigh ins the past couple of weeks. But I've been posting WLC rides every week for the last month or so...
