2013 Hunt WA Biggest Loser Comp

I'm still on break from work so it's hard not eating tons of goodies but I'm at 244 today. Down 4 lbs!

[IBspoiled]

Ok, sign me up, wife 1/2 of IBspoiled!     The other 1/2 is in hibernation/cookie eating mode!   

Starting today at 163 hoping for 135.  But mainly just fit and in shape to climb those mountains with my other 1/2, so when he says we can be over to that ridge in 15 minutes it is closer to 15 minutes than it is 2 hours!     Of course you guys don't know how far he thinks he can get in 15 minutes!

Starting today at 166, goal is 135.

We are 5 days in, I hope everyone is still holding strong. I'm on a 1300 calorie/day (low fat and carb) plan with lots of exercise. It's painful but will be worth it when I reach my goal in 10 weeks.

Doing well....low carb breakfast, at the gym just finishing up,. Down a few alreafy.

Hope everyone is strong...and sticks with it, I know I will.  My challenge will be keeping it off as I always seam to go back to my bad habbits.  Kiddo's go back to school next week and I plan on starting in with the exercise.  I hate the gym so my exercise consists of walking and hiking.  Mostly hiking with my coyote rifle, just in case the opportunity arises for me to put more point in on the coyote madness thread.

Remember it's a marathon, not a sprint and don't get discouraged if the weight is not just falling off of you.  There will be some guys, especially us bigger/heavier guys who will drop some serious weight right off the bat and some folks will barely budge, don't let that discourage you.  It'll come off, I promise, make good choices and exercise and it will start to come off.

A marathon it is, carb loaded tonight at tomatoe street  but it was so good  I was still holding at 243 this afternoon. I think it helped pulling the girls up the sled hill over and over yesterday.

Well, I'm off to a slow start.  I've come down with a cold and have been sick since I signed up.  Consequently, as some may have noticed, I have been on this site more than I thought possible, getting caught up in all the conversations.  (I'm starting to understand lokidog's addiction  )  I guess facebook was just moving too slowly for me these past couple of days. 

Anyway, no exercise yet, as was the plan.  Now the trick is to not be discouraged by my slow start.

my 2 friends for this week, I can't recall who but I thought someone else mentioned torn rotator cuff injuries? anyway since I have never had my shoulder repaired this rowing machine is helping with rehab & strengthening it without too much added pain, I been going 3.2-3.5 miles in 30 minutes daily

the other is 1 of my favorites because you can burn 1.5-2 times as many calories in the same amount of time as any other machine on my floor, starting easy & only doing 152 floors and 3.2 miles in 30 minutes daily.
[smg id=11903]
remember, baby steps at 1st. don't jump in too hard if you've been taking it easy for a while and advice I give new members is stay away from the scales for the 1st few weeks because you might gain weight initially, pay attention to how your clothes fit and weigh in after 2-3 weeks so as not to get discouraged.

Alright, put me in on this one.  I want to do the Lake Stevens 1/2 Ironman Triathlon this year so I need to drop a bunch.  A peak at that race will give me a couple weeks to recover before the opening weekend of bear season.     Anyone around Whatcom County that wants go for a run, mt. bike, road bike, or swim Lake Padden after it warms up feel free to PM me.
Weighed in at 245, Goal weight of 215.

It is encouraging to me to read that people are still joining up!

[delleb25]

So far so good :-) May have had a chocolate or two the other day BUT did not let the minor slip discourage me ((as it normally would..)) Those chocolates won't gain me 5 pounds.. Lots of salads and proteins, almonds, and fruits! Oh and lots of water of course!
