#30787 of 31382 Subaru Crew Diet Challenge by ateixeira Jan 01, 2009 (8:44 am)
OK, Lucien was the first to report in, here: http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.ef0a957/13693 I believe I deserve the blame for the horrible idea of weighin in on January 1, but I'm at 211 today, which is 6 pounds less than I started. 6/217 = 2.8% weight loss. I bottomed out at 206 IIRC, but the cold combined with holiday feasting brought me half way back. At least my cholesterol was down, also. How about everyone else? Here were the starting weights, from my last post (add yours if I missed you): Weigh-in: AJ started at 217, Bob at 200, volkov at 186, xwesx at 192, lucien at 178, Mark at 198, Serge at 161. Frank at 204 lbs. paisan at 300#. pf_flyer at 247#. Brenda 165.9#. hypov 142 lbs playing in reverse! bigelm at 188 lbs. Charlie at 256 lbs. Get on those scales, folks. Let's say you have to report back by the end of the day on Monday, past the holidays, so we can announce a winner on January 6. Is that enough time?

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 01, 2009 8:44 am) I'm at 201, this morning... Maybe that 12oz. ribeye last night, with multiple margaritas was a bad idea? Started at 218, so 17/218 = 7.8% loss..

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 01, 2009 8:44 am) It's been a disaster for me. I'm at 211.75 lb. as of this morning—and this after a 70-minute spinning class (stationary bike). Too much chomping on holiday sweets. Bob

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 01, 2009 8:44 am) We had friends over for New Year's dinner last night, and it was actually my biggest meal and consumption of the season so I was worried about a set-back, but nothing significant. Drum roll.........175 lbs on the scale first thing this AM. That makes for 11lbs or 5.9%. Surely not near the winners, but I do really want to thank everyone, because just having this little challenge was a real motivation for me to get serious. I'm quite certain I would not have achieved anything without the community.

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 01, 2009 8:44 am) I'm at 158.4...at least I was till I just ate some leftover Chinese food, though I did leave the rice. Happy New Year, folks

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 01, 2009 8:44 am) I was at 170 at the height of my fair weather fitness, for a loss of 4.5%. But the end of the season, the end of daylight saving, the early onset of the winter, holiday calories, and the spike in Q4 workload had the expected impact- 5 pounds are back. So call it 2% as of now. If we re-convene in June/July, you'll find that I'll likely be back at 170. This is my 3rd year of serious cycling, and I'm learning to to live with this pattern.

Replying to: ladywclass (Jan 01, 2009 12:29 pm) I posted before Lucien Rumor has it that one of our servers had a bit too much bubbly. Steve, visiting host (and I'm maintaining nicely thank you....).

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 01, 2009 8:44 am) I've been afraid to weigh in and see the numbers with all the holiday meals, but finally did it this morning. 187.5 for a loss of 10.5 lbs or 5.3%. At least this helped me to actually start loosing the wieght . BTW - a Happy Belated New Year to one and all. Mark Replies to this message: xwesx (Jan 06, 2009 8:57 am)
#30796 of 31382 Subaro Only US Car-Maker to Increase Sales by grahampeters Jan 05, 2009 (12:48 pm)
G'day Very interesting article in the Melbourne Age this morning confirms that Subaru were the only car maker in the USA to see a sales increase in calendar year 2008, largely due to the Impreza and Forester. At least there is some good news! http://news.theage.com.au/business/subaru-posts-2008-sales-increase-in-us-200901- 06-7an7.html Cheers Graham
