I'm in! But I thought today was the start date... Just got home from teaching off-site for a week, so I couldn't have weighed in last week anyway. I am up just shy of six pounds from the last challenge. I got lazy and hungry (and, I guess, thirsty) over the holidays. Glad to be back at it.

Yeah, I might do ten. Especially right after the holidays.

Ooh, like the team idea. I won't be looking to lose much though.

Sounds good. I'm in again. Could we do choose your own adventure, weight or bf?

I've hovered within three pounds of the ending weight. Need another challenge! Happy new year nerds.

Behave today nerds. I think I'm going to eat little and drink a lot of Christmas ale as the in-laws are in the house.

I wish I could say I did it saving children in peril. I was walking down the stairs carrying the dog and tripped because she started trying to squirm out of my arms. Slammed the foot on two steps on the way down. Dasein in peril.

Nailed it! Woke up a little over so I taped the toe and kicked out five miles. Feels good to get there.

Also: broken toe was meant to be descriptive, not some dumb ass excuse. Be well.

I can only hope you're right. Loving life. And dehydration.

Thanks caolan! No big thing. And we had friendsgiving tonight as well! If i don't make the 20 it was well worth it! Pretty good run! This challenge has changed everything. Lightest I have been for nearly a decade. I'm nothing but thankful (except a little buzzed). And very nice work!

Not sure if I'm going to make it. I did an impromptu weigh-in yesterday an I was actually up a bit. Bad time to have my worst week! Actually broke my toe so cardiovascular was lacking. Food and drink weren't terrible. Hoping I had a big water weight or something yesterday. Even if I don't hit the 20, I am pretty satisfied with the weight loss. We will see tomorrow. Nice work everybody. People planning on staying on this thread to continue or will we start a new one? I would love the accountability to maintain or maybe lose .25 lbs per week.

Thanks all. But not there yet!Not sure what another travel week will do...

To go along with my 3 new Belgium's. I love Denver

I've got .9 lbs to go. Strangely, the airport bartender started pouring me free shots... #conspiracy

Nice side challenge. I actually thought to take a before picture on initial weigh in. May I'll even post a before and during of Dasein in his underpants.

How is everyone doing? My week wasn't bad for being on a recruiting trip with the company card and my best friend. Fully committed to finishing the twenty pounds. Might be hard as the last week I will be on the road again...

Nice work everyone! This morning I logged in at 178.4 (down 13.2 lbs). I am pleased that the weight continues to move. I have noticed a few things. First, Monday morning weigh-ins end up being the worst for me most weeks. Sunday is hangout time with some of our best friends and it actually ends up being some of the worst days as I eat and drink Sunday nights. I think I retain a bit that comes off pretty rapidly in the coming days. Last night was certainly one of those, so I won't be shocked if I actually had a better week last week than indicated. Second, tracking is absolutely key for me. MFP has been what has made my success possible. Watching the calories has a radical affect on my i-ntake. It also has been pushing me to work out more. If I want to enjoy a nicer dinner with a few glasses of wine, no problem, just lace up the running shoes and hit the pavement. My big hope is that once we have completed this challenge, I will reset the goals on MFP for maintaining (or maybe even dropping 1/4 lb per week) and staying after it. Third, I think the week I did the side challenge of drinking water was one of my best weeks, not only in weight loss, but also in energy and concentration. I need to keep after this, even though it is a pain in the ass. Fourth, my lbs loss is slowing down, but I am wondering (and expecting) I am building muscle through increased running and body weight exercising. I don't even use the body fat calculator on our digital scale as I think those are so flawed. Considering a set of calipers. Keep at it everyone...

I'll pass it to fork boy as he is half way to his 10 pound goal.

Away on vacation. I'll do an unofficial weigh in, but I don't trust using another scale... Weigh-in on my hosts' digital scale: 179.2 Down: 12.4

Mrs Casein just said "Long Dong Silvers Tomorrow." God, I love her.

I fucking hate fish. I take my side challenge back.....

I'll pass to Caolin.

Just eating really low calorie. Probably too low. Good bit of cardio and getting firewood ready for the winter...

Partied like a seventeen year old last night. We'll see how weigh in goes tomorrow.
