I must not post enough, my account keeps being deactivated! 
Thanks Pat, finally made it to the million meters. Only lost 12lbs in weight which does not seem a good return for the effort. I have been doing some weight training also so I probably now have more muscle mass (that's my excuse and am sticking to it).
This is the most consistent period of rowing ever for me, now on a lifetime 7million meters. Your posting of the stats has helped and this forum has kept me motivated. We have a very competitive team now.
Not sure if I have adopted a healthy lifestyle or acquired a compulsive obsessive diorder
I am going to the coast next few days, hoping to do some fishing. Will rest from rowing and hope to re-charge in time for the Fall challenge.
ROW STRONG!

CONGRATULATIONS
Another Guy In A Viking Suit........That Has Rowed One Million Meters,
Congratulations On The Achievement
Congratulations On The Achievement
WAY TO GO CHRIS! CONGRATS ON THE COOL MILLION!
I am getting back into my routine, so the meters are slowly gaining for this season! Right now I am 81,300 away from my first ever Lifetime MILLION meter mark and I'm looking for a little extra motivation and challenge!
So I am calling out to any TimbukTOO-eans that will row with me. My goal is to be there in the next ten days!
My
plan is 10k, 5k, 10k, 5k, 15k, 7.5k, 15k, 7.5k, 15k, and a day of rest somewhere in there. That should comfortably put me at my goal plus a little extra. Then give me a little rest time before the Fall Challenge starts.
Way to Row TimbukTOO! We're that much closer to our goal: proving "indoor rowing" is a classic symptom of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder !

Chris, a 12 pound weight loss, especially if it was mostly fat, is nothing to sneeze about. Congrats!
I have a Tanita body fat scale that I've been very happy with. I'm not exactly sure what weight I want to finally be at, but I do know that I want to decrease my body fat percentage to the mid twenties. I hope it's possible. My weight loss is going very slowly. When I stay away from processed foods, I seem to do better.
Michael, good luck with your goals. I'm splitting my exercise time between tapes and rowing, but I'm still working toward getting back on the 10,000 board (I haven't been up there since July). I seem to be able to row about 10,000 each day, but I need extra meters. Maybe the Fall Challenge will get me more motivated.
