This is the place to commit to and encourage others in support of their weigh loss/gain goals. We all are going through fitness of various cycles which are directly related to phase of training, life's commitments, injury, and just starting the running thing. All are welcome to sign up for this ongoing thread. Just state your weight goal and once a week status. Some folks are already where they want to be and are just trying to maintain. Try to  be consistent when you conduct your weekly weigh-in. Any day of the week is fine - some folks use a particular scale.

Remember to list your weekly loss/gain and calculate your Total over/under towards Goal Weight Loss

Good luck with your weekly goals. Andrew

Tip of the Week - 

"Body weight aside, you can only achieve your best possible race performance by training properly and maintaining a very high-quality diet. Of course, training properly and maintaining a very high-quality diet will also tend to make you leaner, but that's secondary. The main objective of your training and diet is to improve your fitness. Whatever happens to your body weight as a result of training properly and maintaining a high-quality diet is what should happen. This is one situation where the means are more important than the end."

Well, I forgot to post last week, but I wasn't happy with my weight, so maybe that's a good thing.

I'm back at 142 even, so if we forget about last week, I'm still holding steady.  Once my last race of the season is done, I am SO going to have to be more disciplined in my diet.  Bring on the holidays!  . . .

Well, I am NOT having a lot of success here, but this taper, marathon, taper, 50k stuff means that I am either eating, or not running, or eating again.  (sigh)  Down a half-lb this week, so 1.5 lbs loss so far.  Not really where I was hoping to be, but I will keep on trying.

On Tuesday I felt that the

... week isn't starting out well. 

and was not

...happy with my weight ...

either until today I was

... Down a half-lb this week ...

so it does not matter if the

... "The Devil Wears Prada" ...

and

... I shall continue to put one foot in front of the other.

My total over/under is now -4.0

up 2 pounds  

my new overall is -0.5

At 178 again, meaning no change and 13 to go.

-Kelly

Ended up in the hospital the last two days.  Had an endoscopy trying to figure out what's wrong with my stomach. Down another 2 pounds

Oh I need to join you all.
