    It didn't help that I went out for gelato today with my wife! Well, at least we rode the bikes over and back :-)
  • Rebekah · 1 year ago
    Ok, I'll do it.
    I needed that last push to get motivated.
    Thanks for E-pushing me!

  • pollyh · 1 year ago
    No video, no picture. But I did a 5k Susan Komen breast cancer walk today. I am measuring. For me to go 3k was a good day, 5 darn near killed me.
  • Kevin · 1 year ago
    Well, i posted. I didn't realize this week is week two. I ate terrible, and excercised very little due. Found out my scale was 20some odd pounds too light :( So i started an additional competition at work! Bring on the weight loss!!!
  • Robin · 1 year ago
    No pictures or video, but if I manage to make my goal, I'll totally post a picture.
    Cool?

    Thanks for keepin' me real from across the country. Miss you bud.
  • Tony Steward · 1 year ago
    I am doing my video and posting to my blog now - this will be awesome, and by awesome I mean so humiliating that I will actually make it! lol.
  • deWeb · 1 year ago
    lost no weight this week. one pound, which is not a result of anything i did on purpose.
  • Giant Idiot · 1 year ago
    Carlos thanks for the reminder. I have posted some amazing pics of either a moon or my stomach you decide. Cannot wait to see how everyone else is coming along.
  • amg · 1 year ago
    starting today. not trying to lose weight, just trying to get in shape and work on a mileage goal. i'm excited!
  • Aaron · 1 year ago
    i'm in, my brothas and sisttas! 30 pounds, here we come!
  • Spence Smith · 1 year ago
    now this is going to be a great mr. linky time...
  • Rachel · 1 year ago
    Not sure about EVERY week...but I'll give it a go. Unlike you, Los, I get kinda weirded out by sharing this stuff with people in the blogosphere. So...we'll see. :) I'm in, yes, but maybe not documenting as much as y'all.
  • Emily · 1 year ago
    I hate this already. It's so much fun to eat.

    You SO know how to use e-guilt. Good job. I'm on it. (but not liking it yet.) :-)
  • cheri · 1 year ago
    I'm hoping this will motivate me to do what I need to do....even if it is starting with babysteps :)
  • Joni · 1 year ago
    Ok, I figured out the link thing. Easy. Video? I'll learn as we go. Hang on everyone. Keep hands and feet inside the car at all times and enjoy the ride!!!!! Here we goooooooooo!
  • Crystal Renaud · 1 year ago
    do you always weigh yourself with the scale on the carpet? that can really mess up what your actual total is. just sayin'.
  • Los · 1 year ago
    I did it both places. on the hardwood floor and the carpet. stayed the same.
  • Kevin M. · 1 year ago
    I am in like flynn! :D
  • Nick · 1 year ago
    I may join tomorrow. I have to think of something that I can measure. I have already lost 32 lbs and went from almost a 36 in waist to between a 30 & 32 depending on the make of jeans...a lot of people have told me to stop losing weight because I look more like a teenager than a man now, so...that rules those two things out. Thinking...

    My goal for June, July & August: Run 300 miles, ike 1000 miles, & get my weight down to 160lbs. I'm tryng to get ready to run the Thanksgiving Day marathon in ATL. & It helps that I'm only about 7 miles to where I work so, I'm close enough to be able to bike to work.

    This week I:
    Ran - 24.6 miles
    Biked - 27.5 miles
    Current weight - 180

    This month I:
    Ran - 70 miles
    Biked - 54.95 miles
    Lost 4 lbs

    So far this year I've:
    Run - 231.4 miles
    Biked - 54.95 miles
    Lost 20 lbs

    Go Ragamuffin Tops Go!!!!!!!
  • Jay · 1 year ago
    Thanks for the follow-up. Thought I forgot, huh? I'm on my weigh! Okay, I'm sorry. I couldn't resist.
  • Jen · 1 year ago
    I've lost 35 pounds but taken a month off. It's time to get that last 35 off!
  • Jessica Shamburger · 1 year ago
    Ok I have posted. I am trying to find a way to get picks or video but I have neither to really use for that so I may not have pics for now. My goal is 20 lbs in the next two months and beat my friend in our little competition. Although I hope to lose more than 20 lbs. I am walking/running 4 miles 3 times a week which is a big improvement and playing soccer 1 to 2 times a week. Hope the weight just comes off. I have been eating healthy it helps that I don't eat meat (well I eat seafood). Thanks for the reminder.
  • Laura · 1 year ago
    I've now officially used about 1.5 hours of my packing time to make a video, read about all the people doing this challenge, and try to put my post on my blog. It's waiting on a couple things ... to be posted asap.

    Anyway, I'm in ... it'll be your fault when I go to leave for Jakarta next week and am not ready!!! :)

    Thanks.
  • Julie · 1 year ago
    Thanks for the inspiration!! This is my first blog carnival linky. Love your videos!
  • Scott Gaglardi · 1 year ago
    I've been posting a weekly blog weight loss for 2 months now called 'The Chubby Little Hunchback Report'. I need all the incentive I can get so I'm in!!!
  • Leanne · 1 year ago
    Do you know that losing wait doesnt help and you will become heavier in the end if you dont change your entire lifestyle... that is a fact (psychology)
  • Kevin B · 1 year ago
    Ok, here I go. Jay, I figured I would join you here. God, I am going to need all the help I can get.
  • AnnieLaurie · 1 year ago
    I'm in. Need to drop 30 by Labor Day. Thanks Los for this cool opportunity.
  • Carole Turner · 1 year ago
    ok, 10lbs, that's what I want to lose by July. I am going to do some floor exercizes, eat less bad things and pray my 40 yr old matabolism responds.

    I wont be posting a video, just pics.
  • Steve · 1 year ago
    I've had a weight-loss challenge going on for two months over on my blog. Glad to join a few more people over here to help hold me accountable!

    JUST LOSE IT!
  • eric · 1 year ago
    I gained weight this week! But like you said, I think it's all muscle... uh... yeah... that's it, muscle!

    Is that like the icing on top of the muffin top?
  • debbie d. · 1 year ago
    there's no blog for me...hopefully you won't kick me to the curb because of it...my goal: 86lbs by May '09...I'd like to start my 43rd year as the healthy thing I once was...I am upping walking my dogs and trying to add more vegetables to my diet...my love affair with Coca-Cola will continue :)
  • TD · 1 year ago
    let the games begin.
  • Jad · 1 year ago
    This is such a great idea. Way to go everyone who is taking part of this.
  • Brian · 1 year ago
    Just closed on our first house and am in the middle of a crazy transition, but rest assured that I'm with you bro. Consider me a week behind.

    I must admit that I was a bit skeptical of the "great community" that we talked about at Bahama Breeze, but your commitment to accountability in this place is awesome. You rock, brother!
  • TLC · 1 year ago
    My goal: 10 lbs. by September.
  • Matt · 1 year ago
    ok, Los...I posted it. You can stop harassing me now!
  • Cody · 1 year ago
    I gained. Crap. I'll do better this week!
  • Gretch-A-Sketch · 1 year ago
    Hey I'm Gretchin. New to the challenge not new to the site. I started last saturday so I think I'm a week behind.

    My Goal: 50lb Loss.

    Lost 3 already! Yeah!!!
    I have a lot of useful links and printables linked to my site if you wanna check it out. So glad to be part Los!
  • kelly · 1 year ago
    Run Forest Run!!!!
  • Jen · 1 year ago
    I posted. I thought I could get away from you but you found me! I cried as I posted....this is big for me. I hope that we can all be a huge...and shrinking (only in weight) group of ragamuffin tops. Jen
  • Dav · 1 year ago
    I'm a little late to enter, but I'm in. 10 pounds in 10 weeks.
  • Vane Brown · 1 year ago
    I am just now joining in but ready to go! Thanks for this great idea - best wishes to all!
  • sharon · 1 year ago
    This is great! I need to get under the 200 pound range - and I'll try to do that before Christmas 2008. Praying for y'all to stand firm and look to the Lord for help in this challenge.
