Yikes............ Kathy and I missed the first day of summer. Of course it hasn't felt much like summer here in the Northeast yet. Lots of cold damp weather....how about where you live?
Anyhoo, it's time ladies. Time to take those weights and measurements and get them into us :). We will post the prizes being offered during the week and we'll let you know three winners -- best percentage weight loss; best percentage inch loss; and a random winner.
Here's to summer....yay!!!
I need to edit my entry because I just realized I put in my total loss but I started in February. My total loss since the beginning of this contest is 5 pounds and 7 inches. Sorry about that - I really didn't mean to cheat :-)

No loss, no gain-and I'm just happy with maintenance, as I wasn't very disciplined with my eating habits. Increase in upper body strength and some firming up-have been in physical therapy for repetitive stress injuries.

Well, I can't say I really sprung into summer! I only had 5 lbs to lose but weight's been going up and down. I'm about where I was, but I've been doing long walks and weights and cleaning up my diet a lot (pretty much vegan now).

I've lost about 7# -- and gotten more consistent w/ my running. I wanted to be under 180 by this time, but 'twas not to be.

0%. Yep,I lost no weight and no inches, but I didn't gain, either. But. (yeah, big butt - heh) I have muscle! And stamina. That's improvement. I'm pleased.

I didn't reach my goal, but at least I lost some. I lost 7% of my weight and I lost 17 inches which I think is about 13% (if I did the math right). Just goes to show that just because the scale doesn't show much progress, doesn't mean there isn't any!

I didn't lose anything either! I started running again - doing 5-6 miles per week and training for the Boston Half Marathon. I'm also using the Wii sports. I do feel better though and appreciate the push from here.

HEY KIM - well my weight keeps going up and down - so far it looks like 6% of my weight has gone and 5% of the inches [ mostly in my waist], it being the place that really needs to go the most - now trying to loosing more , and keeping it off thats the real mission

I lost about 4% in the weight and 5% in the inches

I'm hoping for the random winner. I didn't do that great either. I had a 6% weight loss so I'm close to my goal weight. And about 3" loss, so about 2% loss.

Oh, it feels like summer--the dog days of summer. Temps near 100. Everything is burning up.

I'm up 40 pounds. So that's about a 32% weight gain. No category for that??
Posted by: Cheryl | Wednesday, June 24, 2009 at 10:28 AM
Eeep! I didn't do all that well, but at least I went down and not up. Only a .72% inches loss, and a 2% weight loss.
I think I need a bigger incentive. Like a free trip to the Bahamas.

Kim- I have only been keeping track of the weight loss- which is 7lbs. Admittedly, I could have been more vigilant, but it wasn't a hardship, and I will keep going.

The weather forecast makes it sound like summer is finally about to arrive. Hooray!
Posted by: Carole | Wednesday, June 24, 2009 at 06:59 AM
I've been a total washout on this. Maybe I'll do better in July with a trip to the beach looming in August! (No WAY are you getting any measurements from me!)
Posted by: Marcia | Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at 10:47 PM
i didn't lose any weight or inches, but i'm riding my bike at least 3 days per week most weeks (as opposed to zero days, every week, heh) and always trying for more.

Yikes is right! xoxo
Posted by: Kathy | Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at 10:24 PM
I lost 5 % of my weight (and a dress size)... that is if I did the math correctly. Who knows. Thankfully I Wii and the weights were there. I took measurements and can't find the magic notebook I put them in.
Happy Summer!
