2020 paceline weightloss challenge

[clyde the point]

I am 240 looking at 220 with lustful eyes. Have lost some, engaged in a different nutrition deal, going slowly.

let's keep at it guys. gotta lose a couple more El Bees heading into the holidays...

[vqdriver]

updated the spreadsheet with dates to the end of the year. just added weekly so i think if we track once any time that week we can track it that way.
last quarter of the year. let's finish this whacko 2020 with some good news

[vqdriver]

let's close out the year. i'm rebounding a little but hope to finish strong.

So one more update - the scale was at 232, varies by a lb or two - seems to be a plateau - but always under 235, so that's darn near 60 lbs since I started at 290 last year!

Congrats! As a personal trainer, I know that sustained fat loss is incredibly difficult to achieve. How did you accomplish this?

I never joined this thread until now , but all I can say is that COVID-19 has pushed my wife to be an expert sourdough bread baker. These things would sell for $10 at a fancy bakery.

Enough said. 10lbs worth of bread on me in the past 8 months.

Bring on the 2021 thread. I stayed roughly even for 2020, and I'll count that as a win given the dumpster fire this year has been on all fronts.

[tuxbailey]

yes, lets continue to 2021. I was fortunate to lose a bit this year but I want to get to the ultimate target. I want to lose another 20 lbs before my 50th.

I'm down from about 185 to 160 after starting to ride again this year.

After not riding for the longest stretch since I started riding again 15 yrs ago.....(haven't sat on a saddle since sept) I weighed myself yesterday.

Ugh. Heaviest I've ever been. I've never been over 200lbs before and I'm flirting with it.

Normal for me to gain 10-15 through the winter but not before the end of the year!

I hope my motivation to ride returns soon.

I lost 10-15 lbs but have gained a few back so largely a success. I do want to keep going in 2021 as I’d like to shed 7-10 lbs more.

I hear ya! Except I have been riding, but my weight is definitely at the top end of my weight Spectrum. I am a stout 5’8 and 235lbs at the moment.

I had dropped over 25lbs last year by tracking my weight, not eating as much and riding my bike. Definitely was watching what I was eating and how much whereas now it’s like whatever! My body tends to gain in late October in preparation for the winter, but I used to only hit 215-220.

I still get out and ride, but with a baby, toddler and my oldest turning 16 this past Monday, I am finding my time is much more limited to get out and ride. It is strap the lights on and go ride in the cold and dark on the weekdays if I am lucky!
