W.I.S.H. Weight Loss Challenge?

[Poly Pal]

Can I still join? The post says the Challenge ended in June. Are there any guys on this board?

I've been lurking (well I posted once, maybe twice) and found some good inspiration (TIGH, Snackystacky amaze me!)

So far I've lost 49.5 lbs since 1/6/03. I have 3.5 to go to get to my wedding weight and 8.5 to get to my "stretch goal".
Then like TigH I want to add muscle and decrease my bodyfat percentage.

I'm following my own amalgamation of WW (before all that point cointing!), the Zone, and South Beach. I work out twice a day (can't wait to post on the daily "Who worked out yesterday" threads!) I eat every 3 hours or so and drink more than a gallon of water a day (and not much else!)

My wife has lost 51 lbs but is not doing exactly what I do. She counts calories and works out to aerobic tapes (remember Richard Simmons - ugh, annoying but effective for her!

Keep up the good work everybody!

It ended in June? Ooooops. I think Kelsie needs to edit that out, the Challenge is going full steam ahead.

It's good to see you here. We have other male WISHers and I'm glad to see another join the fun.

All you have to do is post to the challenge thread which is <b>HERE</b>.

Then if you want you can add the member clipart to your signature. There is a great post written by Wovenwonder telling you how to do that <b>HERE</b>.

What we do is start with a zero loss no matter how much we may have lost before taking the challenge and then each time we lose 5 pounds we get to trade up to a new clipart. It's fun.

Sounds like you are getting pretty close to goal. You are going to be an excellent addition to my support group

Welcome to WISH, I'm really glad you have decided to join us.

Count me in too! Can you just add the clipart, or do I need to tell someone I'm here? I should post, "I'm here! Please help me!!" I'll post on that other thread.

I am going to do Atkins with maybe a few extra carbs since I'm nursing my newborn baby girl (5 1/2 weeks). I'd like to lose 50 pounds, but will settle for not gaining while nursing, like I did with my son (2 3/4). Nursing makes me crave carbs!!
