2014 BIGGEST LOSER, GAME ON * * * * LETS WEIGH IN * * * * 10 days left!

[Kc_Kracker]

Ok i do not see a thread started yet, I been looking 

That's ok, I'm probably early. So I'll start it off. I guess the first step to facing a problem is admitting there is a problem, which is that evil fork!!

So here goes. After shattering my ankle and destroying all the tendons and ligaments in 2010, then spending 6 months flat on my back I gained 30 lbs, when I was finally off crutches I then limped for another 2 years, so guess what, I gained another 10, and another 10, and another 10, and then yet another 15 lbs I have battled high blood pressure since I was 14 on and off meds, now I'm living on 4-5 pills a day to keep it moderately so-so due to my diet and weight most of all at this point. This weight MUST come off, aside from the fact I cannot imagine that my wife thinks I'm remotely attractive being a pot bellied porker at least 70 lbs over weight and lets not mention that tying my boot laces now requires holding my breath and killing myself to do so   Its hard to imagine up until 3 years ago I could hop on my treadmill and bust out 5 miles with just a pant, now I pant walking up the driveway, but now my ankle is stronger and Its time to get this off of me.

So in short, I'm in. 2014 BIGGEST LOSER STARTS IN 7 DAYS, WHO ELSE IS IN?

WHEN YOU LIST OR UPDATE YOUR WEIGHT, HIGHLIGHT IT IN RED

Fat camp has begun! I hope everyone experiences some sort of success with this contest, and you have already by realizing there is a problem Even if you dont lose weight I hope you at least feel better, eat healthier, and maybe live longer.


TIPS
 Now, I STRONGLY suggest using http://www.myfitnesspal.com/ it will give you a healthy calorie goal daily that will HELP. the first day it will seem hard listing every calorie, by day 2 it will be very easy and fast I promise!

 I strongly suggest learning to break the calories up into 5 meals a day, smaller meals several times a day is a scientifically proven fact to BOOST your metabolism, if you dont know what that means, well in layman's terms it means your body is doing FREE work for you to lose weight 

also remember if you start some hardcore exercising then you need to bump your calorie intake up a little or youll have no energy.

and last, the bulk (65-70%) of your calories should be taken in by mid day not later like evening time when your less active.

you should take a few fat pics to show off later!

weight in in the morning when you wake up, remember it usually takes at least 2 weeks to see each difference so over checking will derail you with not feeling accomplished

take some measurements around your body with a sewing tape because remember muscle weighs more then fat so you may be losing fat and gaining muscle if your working out the tape will tell you the truth not the scale.

given that, remember to direct your workouts at burning fat

 

Now go make your plans and get your game on, i aim to be a serious contender, id like to finally have a summer where i can take my shirt off

now Im headed to dust off INSANITY and restart it. BRING ON THE PAIN!! 

Good luck everyone and happy new years

[BoomWhop]

I hear ya, 5 knee surgeries later...I am in, I started last years biggest loser at 285 ish, now I am 293.  I really would like to backpack in for early elk, and I am not getting any younger.  So count me in.

[Whitpirate]

After watching Coach, Rtspring and Blrman run the hills I will be in on this competition.  Bring your A game folks I plan on being a contender.

[SniperDanWA]

Count me in.  I'm 255 today, per doc's scale.  I've got a surgery coming up sometime after the first of the year, but I've got 55 to lose.

KC, how are we recording this?

[scout/sniper]

Well Kc, after 18 years as a Marine sniper and crawling all over hells half acre.
And earning my Gold Jump Wings (30 jumps, mostly combat)
My knees are destroyed. I had to stop running 3 miles a day last year.
I weigh 195 but my ideal weight is 165.
My son is leaving for Marine basic training next fall and he wants me to
wear my dress blues at his graduation. I have a long way to go!
Count me in.

[Kc_Kracker]

Dan I will be looking for direction, or to be again directed by Machias if he wants I just wanted to get it started with a roster  , I will start writing it down as folks state it. I never followed along before so I'm a newb to how Hunt-Wa does this. In 2011 I bought INSANITY but it was more then my ankle could handle. I started in 2012 then boned out. So like Chris (white pirate) said I aim to be a contender. without competition I will fail 

For me I cant stand it, sure we all have plenty of jokes about it but truthfully trying to squish my fat gut to lean over and tie my boot laces requires holding my breath,  pain, and feeling like im going to pass out til i get ONE tied  then I still have one more to go. I get winded easy, like walking upstairs to the bedroom, and we wont even mention the effects my weight have possibly effected there  I do know Its time to change this. Tomorrow for me, is the last day for free will porking.

and anyone that knows alot about proper dieting and exercise Id love to read what you have to say. ALL I know is whne I started INSANITY I used a website I was sent to for figuring out my total caloric intake per day, and how to split it up into 5 meals a day but I'm going to have to refresh 

[Russ McDonald]

This will be the first year that I am not going to be in.  Finished out lay year at 272  I am at 280 but still on the exercise regiment.  Which i started back up after hunting season.  I wanted to tag this so I could follow along.  Good luck everyone.

I'm in again...I am have gained quite a bit back from last year (not all) and need to continue to loose.  Holiday season is always bad for me....I think I gained 10 lbs in the last month. 

[uplandhunter870]

you can probably count me in again. the last biggest loser helped me get a lot closer to my goals but i still have a long ways to goal. dropping another 30lbs would be fantastic

Russ dont say its so, come on you gotta be in! were so close its crazy, come on you can dooooo iiiiiit! 

[Sitka_Blacktail]

I'm in again at 250, 5 lbs less than I started last year. Did good last year until I got out on my boat commercial fishing n Alaska. Got down to 228 before I headed north in the spring. I work hard, but not a lot of cardio and eventually gained most of what I lost back. Then got home to mama's cooking and well.................?

[Machias]

I'm in, sorry but someone else will have to run it this year. 

[Eli346]

 I went from 195 lbs in August to 170 lbs last week. I hurt my neck and couldn't work out but waited until after hunting season to get surgery on Dec 6th. Now I can't eat much solid foods because of the tissue inflammation on the inside. I'm going to get at least 15 lbs back in the next month or so but it's a chore.

[furiouzgeorge]

I'm in --- 210lbs , should be 175-190lbs. Had the flu last week which helped me dump about 12lbs, but 'tis the season!!!

[runningboard]

I'm in, finished last year 30 lbs down from heaviest ever & had/have an injury being treated by pain management specialist (sucks to get old) & gained 5 back but need to lose quite a bit to be where I'd like to be
