2013 Hunt WA Biggest Loser Comp

Jumping in at 274.  Hope to hit 200 and get me a little farther away from the reaches of the grim reaper....

Nice work Naches...


Just weighed in this am 194.2.  Down just over 16 lbs in 2 weeks...Starting to think there is something to this advocare stuff my wife has me on.  I have never lost that much weight that fast and I feel great.  Keep it up everyone.

[DOUBLELUNG]

246, down 2 more.  Down 6 for the first 3 weeks, AND the body composition scale says I've lost 11 lbs of fat.  I've built a little muscle, can feel the aerobic improvement, and Saturday I bought a new belt to replace the larger one I had to buy last year.

152  down 11

Somehow I got 198lbs  on my 175lb frame, this should help motivate 

Gotta get with it, still at 198. anyone else work 96 hrs in just 5 days every week and then that 6th day really screws things up, sure makes it hard to stay on a schedule of healthy eating and even healthy sleeping when I do this for 2-3months every winter....

No more excuses

not budging here in fact after 3 days of eating careful and exercising the scale went up more....

I quit....just gonna learn to like being a fat cow.... the stress I've been under is too much and seems to have me completely fried...for the moment it would be nice to not have a sinus infection again, and to have the panic attacks go away

It is very common at the start of an exercise program for weight to go up, the process of building muscle tissue involves increased intramuscular fluid as the muscle fibers are broken down and rebuilt.  Once you cease increasing exercise and switch to a maintenance regime, that excess fluid will be pulled off and weight will go down.  This is independent of the fat loss that results from decreased caloric intake and/or increased calories burned.  For any event with a weigh-in, where you need to be under a maximum weight, you should plateau your exercise regime for at least a week prior to excrete that fluid edema from building muscle.

I am currently carrying about 5lbs of excess fluid because I am on an increasing exercise program.  Don't give up yet!

[BoomWhop]

292 lbs up a few, not off to a good start

[hrd2fnd]

down  230

[CMG]

312#
  Started today, Ran across this today at work and had to jump on the scale when I got home. Maybe it will help to have HW looking over my shoulder  but it's worth a shot. Goal is 240#.  I gained Sympathy weight with the wife during her pregnancy, just kept on adding a few pounds each year 

  I have three incentives over the next six months:
1). My 11Yr old will be getting his license this year and hunting with me for the first time 
2). Need to get extra life Insurance to protect the family. (Have to stop Skoal as well 
3). 30Yr reunion coming up this summer. 

Good luck to everyone!
