Title: 2013 Hunt WA Biggest Loser Comp
Post by: Machias on December 10, 2012, 05:00:55 PM
This is a friendly comp, we are going to take folks at their word.  The contest is just a way to hopefully motivate folks to get in better hunting shape and get in better shape for life.  The contest runs from 1 Jan to 31 Aug 2013.  Winner will be announced on 1 Sep.  Winner is the person who loses the biggest percentage of weight.  Since we have several great prizes we are going to let folks choose their prize, 1st place gets first pick, 2nd place gets second pick and so on and so forth.  Post your weight in red and my wife will keep track of it.  If you see a mistake or she misses someone please let her know nicely, she's a busy lady but has volunteered her time and effort so please be nice.    I would suggest folks take some before and after photos, but there is no requirement to post them, but trust me if you have some serious weight to lose, you'll be glad you did.

JPhelps has donated a call
Bearmanric has donated a call
Runningboard has donated
Boneaddict has donated 16x20 or 11x14 print of any photograph
Jingles has donated 1 Custom Embroidered Jacket, Size XS to 6XL
YJ Guide Service has donated a one day turkey hunt for this fall or the late late season.
DaveBTS has donated
Smokepole has donated a elk tine hearth broom
PolarBear donates a european mount on any deer or smaller sized critter (your animal) or a bunch of custom poured plastic worms and jig heads, winners choice

I hope everyone, whether you are in this or not thanks them and show your appreciation by using and buying from these great sponsors.  Thank you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why not?  Maybe a different prize this coming year?  I'm near my goal and I could use the challenge to get over the last hurdle.  Pretty soon I'm going to be able to squeeze in my old uniforms from back in the day, wife's gonna love that. :IBCOOL:

I am down, why not, I go to the gym anyway.  How long does it run til and how to we report?  Wish I knew about this last year.  Since February of 2010, I have gone from 341 to 260lbs.  Still got about 20-25 more I would like to drop so this could be good motivation.

1 Jan 2013 to 31 Aug 2013.  Post your starting weight in RED.  You can post a weekly weight if you want but my wife will only update the chart on the 1st of the month, unless someone else wants to help out.  We don't yet have a prize for the biggest loser which will be determined by total percentage of weight loss.  I would encourage those of us with substantial amounts of weight to lose take a before and after photo.  No need to post it unles you want to.  If you lose a bunch it's amazing to see the transformations.

Post by: bigsads on December 16, 2012, 11:00:12 AM
Here is some of my before and after currently.  The 1st one was before I started to get serious the Aug 2009, clocked in at 325 by Feb 2010 I was 341.  Joined a gym in town, changed my diet and today I am between 255-265 on average.  Made packing out this years cow much easier.  Looking forward to seeing and hearing about everyone's success, and being a part of it.  I found what has helped me is the support of others, and my peers at the gym holding me accountable when I would not show for a day or two.  Good luck everyone.  Just remember it makes those 5-10 mile walks behind gates much easier, and the choice to put one down far behind a gate much more easier

Post your starting weight in red.  Post your progress weekly or whenever you feel like it.  On 31 Aug post your final weigh in.  Highest percentage of weight loss wins a yet to be determined prize.

Post by: Machias on December 16, 2012, 07:18:10 PM
Anyone can join at any time, but their starting weight is whatever their weight is the day they join, so if someone joins in March or April, their starting weight is whatever their weight is on the day they join.  Can't have someone join in March saying oh man I've lost X amount of weight since 1 Jan can I join in at that weight, sorry no.  Post your starting weight by 1 Jan, or the date you join.

Hey Fred,

I'm in this year.  Dropped about 15lbs before hunting season last year, and all back now.  Need to loose almost 30lbs to get down around 220 (which I haven't seen since college days).  Will be good motivation.

Thanks,

ET

You can post now but the actual start date is the 1st and then either weekly or when ever you feel like it up until the final weigh-in.

Yep you can post now, but anything you lose between now and then will not count....of course anything you gain between now and then will most certainly count.  :):)

I took my son to Disney World this year and signed us up for their Wild Africa Trek.  While they don't mention it on their website, when you get there they tell you about the 300 lb weight limit on they harness they use for the bridge over the crocodile pool.  I am now distinctly North of 300.  I am in the extra tall size so the weight has never kept me from doing things with my son before.  He still got to go on the trek with his mother, but I don't want my weight to keep me from doing things with him again.

For my son, I am in this year.

I need to get back on the horse... Starting Jan 1
Having my own house will help. living with the in laws... meat and potatos every night isnt helping at all.

Goal for next year is 180 or 185 so i have some work to do.

Good luck all.... will post my starting weight on the 1st.

OK folks the start is almost here.  The site sponsors have really stepped up and donated some awesome prizes.  Here they are:

JPhelps has donated a call
Bearmanric has donated a call
Runningboard has donated
Boneaddict has donated 16x20 or 11x14 print of any photograph
Jingles has donated 1 Custom Embroidered Jacket, Size XS to 6XL
YJ Guide Service has donated a one day turkey hunt for this fall or the late late season.
DaveBTS has donated
Smokepole has donated a elk tine hearth broom

I hope everyone, whether you are in this or not thanks them and show your appreciation by using and buying from these great sponsors.  Thank you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember to post your starting weight on 1 Jan in red.  Don't make the mistake I did last year and start off good and then stumble and not continue participating.  We are all going to stumble sometime during the 243 days, it's going to happen.  Just jump right back on the wagon and keep going.  Post often, it will help motivate you and help motivate other during times of struggle.  I'd like to see all of us in better health and better hunting shape.  I get the most enjoyment in the woods when I am fit.  Looking forward to getting help and motivation from all of you!!!

If I go by the chart I'm supposed to weigh 176, which is just plain silly for my frame.  When I got back from Saudi Arabia in 1991 I weighed 179 and I looked like a bean pole.  I was running 3 miles every other day and doing 200 sit ups and push ups everyday.  Wife said I was way too skinny.  At 188-190, I look and feel outstanding.  My goal is to get back to 200.  199 would be out of this world good for me.

I'm with you on the chart Machias. I didn't even weigh the "correct" amount when I was in high school and playing sports. I go with how I perform best. I ran a half marathon way above the chart's recommendation and was "thin".

oh hells bells I should because I am insanely fat....have beaten my pregnancy high by damn near the amount gained when I was pregnant times 2 :bash: :bash: :bash: when I quit smoking its been a struggle ever since spent 1 1/2 year in great physical shape right after I quit, then life went wonky and as usual I let myself go to hell....but since it was the big quit smoking thread here that helped me quit maybe doing this will help me get my ass in some sort of shape.....
dear god admitting what the scale says is horrifying though  :yike: :yike: I have until the first to post my red weigh in right  :dunno:

You've got nothing to worry about.    I need to get over there and buy you guys a burger and a beer to get you good and fattened up for the start.

Wait til you see my red number.....

It's official......  you're all a bunch of lightweights.

I just hopped on the scale, and the big digital numbers said:    390

I guess that means that I am entering in the "Unlimited Super Heavy Weight Division".

That ought to make you all feel pretty darned good about yourselves.

I used to be in great shape, but I have a few excuses:
1.   I ate too much.
2.   I quit exercising.
3.   I ate even more.

So you see, it's not really my fault....   I have excuses.

(after posting that number, I'd better get after it.)

I started this last year and dropped out. I'm not doing that this year. I'm guessing I'm around 250. I'll officially weigh in on the first. I dare to say it but I want under 200. I'm 6'. I don't think I've been under 200 since Jr. High, possible elementary  :chuckle:

Protein diet and running here I come!

that's 250.6 LBs, but like others I have excuses  :chuckle:
I was in an accident 9/29/87 wherein I broke my left arm in 2 places, crushed my right knee, tweaked both wrists, both ankles & before that I tore my rotator cuff while lifting weights. & 2 more times after driving & never had it fixed.
last time I fought in the ring I weighed in at 157 after being a HotShot firefighter all summer in 94. but considering where I work I should have the poorest excuse but being the manager sometimes means I can't workout there cause someone always needs me to do this or that.
where do I work? the Camas Center for Community Wellness in Usk, Pend Oreille county, GMU 113, here are some pics of what we have, I don't have a picture of our weight-lifting machines, just the free weights. & I have added punching bags in the group exercise room since these were taken. we are open to the public & I encourage anyone hunting this area to visit, you can get a shower, get a hot meal, soak in a hot-tub or sit in a sauna(steam or dry) & we provide the towels, all for a small daypass fee. I've said it before, where else do you hunt & get asked, "did you bring your swimsuit?"

if anyone lives close to me you are welcome to "share" my set of INSANITY dvd's.  youll need a different one everyday or grab 2-3 at a time, so you'll want to live close.  i went from 240 to 219 in a month, then got hurt. its guaranteed to bring the pain but VERY effective :o i used it 2 years ago and did great on it but have yet to be able to get back on it because i shattered my ankle and have not had the strength in my ankle to handle it yet. now it will be much harder for me because my ankle is maybe 60% and the injury alone alone caused me to gain more weight. now im fatter weaker and my ankle will prohibit really intense workouts.

i wish good luck to all of us, stronger lighter healthier and happier new year!  :tup:

I wanna play this year 275 first thing this morning. I started strong last year and lost 18 pounds, then lost motivation and gained most of it back! I spent the later half of 2012 concentrating on diet change and portion control, now that I have that under control its time to implement the excersise program. I would love to see 220 again, but in will start small and shoot for 240.

Alright, I failed miserably last year but since my daughter shot her first buck last season and she is dead set on getting a big buck and a bull, I owe it to her to be in good enough shape to be able to hunt and keep up with her.  Today I am at my biggest ever, 316.  It makes me sick to think that I have let myself get to this point.  It is going to be a bitch considering my brain tumor messing up my chemistry so badly but I have do what I can to get healthy.  I owe it to my family!  My goal is to be down to under 260 by October.

OK folks the start is almost here.  The site sponsors have really stepped up and donated some awesome prizes.  Here they are:

JPhelps has donated a call
Bearmanric has donated a call
Runningboard has donated
Boneaddict has donated 16x20 or 11x14 print of any photograph
Jingles has donated 1 Custom Embroidered Jacket, Size XS to 6XL
YJ Guide Service has donated a one day turkey hunt for this fall or the late late season.
DaveBTS has donated
Smokepole has donated a elk tine hearth broom

I hope everyone, whether you are in this or not thanks them and show your appreciation by using and buying from these great sponsors.  Thank you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember to post your starting weight on 1 Jan in red.  Don't make the mistake I did last year and start off good and then stumble and not continue participating.  We are all going to stumble sometime during the 243 days, it's going to happen.  Just jump right back on the wagon and keep going.  Post often, it will help motivate you and help motivate other during times of struggle.  I'd like to see all of us in better health and better hunting shape.  I get the most enjoyment in the woods when I am fit.  Looking forward to getting help and motivation from all of you!!!
I'll donate a european mount on any deer or smaller sized critter (your animal) or a bunch of custom poured plastic worms and jig heads, winner's choice.

Machias is running the contest.   Same rules as last year and yes we are going by honesty.   I'll round up the rules.  The first one that is different is that it is Starting JAN 1-  ???(he posted it I need to confirm)


Put your weigh ins in red.   Not necessary to have to post weekly weigh ins but it might motivate you.  Biggest percentage wins I believe with other possible opportunities.

This is a friendly comp, so yes we are going to take folks at their word.  All kinds of ways to cheat if folks want to, but I'm not worried with this crowd.  The prizes are great but I doubt someone would lie to get them.  The contest is just a way to hopefully motivate folks to get in better hunting shape and get in better shape for life.  The contest runs from 1 Jan to 31 Aug.  Winner will be announced on 1 Sep.  Winner is the person who loses the biggest percentage of weight.  Since we have several great prizes we are going to let folks choose thier prize, 1st place gets first pick, 2nd place gets second pick and so on and so forth.  Post your weight in red and my wife will keep track of it.  If you see a mistake or she misses someone please let her know nicely, she's a busy lady but has volunteered her time and effort so please be nice.  ;)  I would suggest folks take some before and after photos, but there is no requirement to post them, but trust me if you have some serious weight to lose, you'll be glad you did.

Why did I consume so much over the holidays?! Added about ten more lbs I don't want! Definitely my all time high. When you play sports you whole life and get taught to carb load for energy, you gotta quit that *censored* if you quit playing sports! Unfortunately, I didn't. Current weight 214. Weight goal to meet, 175 by hunting season (need to gain muscle too, which obviously weighs more than fat). Good luck everyone!

Hey hey, a little bit of good news for us fat folks.  :)

In a review of almost 100 past studies covering nearly three million people, researchers found that being overweight or slightly obese was linked to about a 6 percent lower risk of dying, compared to people considered "normal weight."

Being severely obese, however, was still tied to an almost 30 percent higher risk of death.

The idea that being somewhat overweight could be linked to better health has been dubbed the obesity paradox, even though actual obesity is generally not associated with the apparent "benefit."

"This is actually the common finding," said the new study's lead author Katherine Flegal, a senior scientist from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Hyattsville, Maryland.

Her work, she said, confirms what previous analyses found - a link between being somewhat overweight and having a lower risk of death.

The paradox, as scientists have called it, is based on past findings that suggest overweight and obese people - even those with additional health problems - live longer than their thinner counterparts.

Some have argued that the pattern is a statistical one only because being thin, especially in old age, is often a sign or a result of serious illness - so the thinner people seem to have higher mortality.

The study results certainly do not give people permission to pack on extra pounds, according to Dr. Steven Heymsfield, the executive director of the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Heymsfield, who co-authored an editorial accompanying the new report, said the difference in mortality between overweight and normal weight people is probably very small.

"That's actually a very small number. It's probably only statistically significant because of the large number she had in her study," he added.

Also, there are concerns that body mass index (BMI) - a measurement of weight in relation to height - is not an accurate measure of someone's health risks.

For example, Heymsfield said a soldier may be considered overweight but still be healthy, because he or she has more muscle mass.

"It's not a good marker for body fat or health risk," he said.

There is also confusion around what BMI should be considered "normal," which is why Flegal and her colleagues conducted their analysis.

Past studies looking at the link between BMI and death used varying ranges to describe normal weight, overweight and obesity.

"There seems to be a lot of confusion about this whole area, and part of the confusion is that people are using a bunch of different categories," said Flegal.

For the new analysis, the researchers, who published their results in the Journal of the American Medical Association, used data from past studies, and classified the risks according to BMI categories accepted by the World Health Organization and the U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.

Those organizations consider a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 normal weight, between 25 and 29.9 overweight, and 30 or above obese. They further subdivide the obese category, though - with a BMI between 30 and 34.9 designated grade-1 obesity, and anything above 35 grades 2 or 3.

The researchers reviewed databases of medical research and found 97 studies that looked at weight and mortality risk. Combined, Flegal and her colleagues had information on about 2.9 million people from around the world and 270,000 deaths.

Being obese - in general - was linked to an 18 percent greater risk of death, compared to being normal weight. Being severely obese - grades 2 and 3 - was linked to a 29 percent greater risk of death.

However, being merely overweight was linked to a 6 percent decreased risk of death compared to a normal weight person, while being slightly (grade 1) obese was linked to a 5 percent lower risk.

The study cannot say why there seems to be a link between being overweight or slightly obese and a lower risk of death.

"We don't have the data to look at the physiological mechanisms, and that wasn't our goal," said Flegal.

"Our contribution - I hope - is just to summarize it to show what other articles are showing," she said.

For Heymsfield, the findings reinforce the common belief that increased weight is tied to an increased risk of death, but highlights the fact that someone classified as "overweight" is not necessarily "very unhealthy."

On the other hand, he warns, important markers of health, such as blood pressure and cholesterol, do respond to minor changes in weight.

"So gaining that extra 10 or 20 pounds can put you into a dangerous category, and it's important to find out if you're one of those people," he said.

Wish we had a Biggest Gainer competition!  I somehow managed to lose 15 pounds (10% body weight) last year without really trying a whole lot. I used MyFitnessPal to help track things, which helped a lot.

Anyway, now I want to get back to where I was, just do it by bulking up muscle, not fat, which is actually more daunting to me than losing weight!

Going in for surgery on the 17th, so it will be interesting to see where I find myself in 6 months.

This website was mentioned in Consumer Reports:  http://www.healthywage.com/ (http://www.healthywage.com/)

They have different ways you can make money losing weight.  One challenge is to pay $150, and as long as you lose 10% of your weight within 6 months (I think that's what it is) then you get $300, for a net gain of $150.  Sounds like a good incentive!

I think there are also group options and other things, but I didn't read it all...

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.

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
[smg id=11904]
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.

What is a Workout?
by George Allen

A workout is 25 percent PERSPIRATION and 75 percent DETERMINATION. Stated another way, it is one part physical exertion and three parts self discipline. Doing it is easy once you get started.

A workout makes you better today than you were yesterday. It strengthens the body, relaxes the mind, and toughens the spirit. When you work out regularly, your problems diminish and your confidence grows.

A workout is a personal triumph over laziness and procrastination. It is the badge of a WINNER — the mark of an organized, goal oriented person who has taken charge of his or her destiny.

A workout is a wise use of time and an INVESTMENT in excellence. It is a way of preparing for life’s challenges and proving to yourself that you have what it takes to do what is necessary.

A workout is a key that helps unlock the door to OPPORTUNITY and SUCCESS. Hidden inside each of us is an extraordinary force. Physical and mental fitness are the triggers that can release it.

A workout is a form of REBIRTH. When you finish a workout, you don’t simply feel better, YOU FEEL BETTER ABOUT YOURSELF.

What Machias says...Think long term. You have a long time. I always gain a few right when I change what I eat, then it starts to drop. A little at a time. Discouragement Kills. Think about tomorrow and the next day, let the scale go for a couple of weeks and look ahead. It will work out if you even stick to a plan most of the way.

160  down 3. 

For those with cold/coughs here is a home remedy if you want to try it.  Both of my kids are coughing like crazy and I just got this into them tonight.  They have been at their dads.  I know garlic is an amazing immune booster and fights all kinds of things.  Crush up a clove and eat it in a spoonful of applesauce or something if your really brave and want to beat a cold/flu.  Also, apple cider vinegar is very good for you also.  Just some ideas if anyone is interested.   :hello:

1/2 c. Raw Honey
Half a lemon
2 fresh garlic cloves- don't use the pre-minced stuff. It's lost its strong medicinal properties.
a chunk of fresh ginger
2 teaspoons of powdered turmeric.
2 teaspoons cinnamon
pinch of black pepper (Just a pinch has an amazing effect on your body's ability to metabolize and absorb turmeric. Black pepper increases your body's ability to absorb turmeric by 2000%. That's not a typo! Two-thousand percent.)
 
Fill a small jar halfway with raw honey. Raw honey has active enzymes, 'good' bacteria, and tons of other beneficial stuff that normal, pasteurized grocery store honey doesn't have. Squeeze the lemon half into the honey and stir. Crush the garlic cloves. You don't want to pulverize them, or you'll end up with little bitty chunks floating around in the honey...just crush them one good time, to start the enzyme reactions in the cloves. I like to whack the cloves of garlic with the side of my meat tenderizer mallet, and I do the same thing to the ginger. Drop them into the honey and stir. Stir in the spices. Store this in the fridge, because the cold feels good on hot, scratchy throats.
 
How to take it:
Take a spoonful as needed, avoiding the chunks of garlic and ginger unless you just really like the taste of garlic. And it is all food so no medicinal overdose to worry about.

So I'm back in the saddle after the first.  How do you register for the competition?  Is it based on TOTAL weight lost or Percentage to starting weight?  Any info would be great without having to sift through 15 pages...
Title: Re: 2013 Hunt WA Biggest Loser Comp

I put it all on Page one, first entry.  No registering, just put you starting weight in red and we will track it.  Total % wins.  Jump right in!

Nice job there Mark...keep at it. The scale was kind this morning....not ready to post another weight yet but I am motivated. I'm feeling good and the diet changes and gym time are paying off. It feels good to say no thanks to the brownies. My motivation is helping my wife as well. Keep it up everyone because it only gets harder to stick with it and keep doing all the right things.

Also...don't let your routine get stale. Those miles on the bike feeling easier...well, then go hit the stair climber first, then the bike. Weights felling lighter...work a different set or weight interval and mix it up. I'm looking forward to the next clear cold day...I've got a hill I plan to climb. Why? Why not.

Runamuk, I get that.  I don't plan on posting weight each week either.  I rarely get on the scale.  Your right being a girl sucks and being a girl our age sucks even worse!  I read in a book last year that most of our (girls) up and down weight is mostly water weight.  If you drink lemon water throughout the day it helps to keep from retaining water.  I'm trying to get in the habit of drinking the lemon water.  Sometimes I love it and sometimes, I just want plain water.  I keep a 64oz jug by my sink and try and drink two of them per day.  I use an old gatorade bottle.  For me it works because my teeth are sensitive to cold and so having room temperature water is ok with me and it makes it easy to monitor my water intake.   :hello:

I love lemon water and went and bought some raw apple cider vinegar to love it and it helps kill sweets cravings for me for some reason...I only drink room temperature or warm water and I drink 1-2 liters ..... I dont eat much salt .....but all my life my weight has a pretty normal fluctuation of about 10 lbs  :bash:..... for years I rounded to 130 because any given day I could be as low as 122 or as high as 136 ...so for me losing 10 lbs is kinda meaningless because I never know if its real weight loss or just another low day.......oh well gonna keep walking and trying to not eat sugar/bread/carbs you know stuff that tastes good...lol

Good luck to all!  Remember what Machias said, this is a marathon.  Pounds drop for a little bit, then you'll plateau.  Keep the faith!  Watch your portions and get your exercise.  Try and do an activity every day.  Don't overdo it and injure yourself.

Even if you don't win the contest, the best thing you can win out of this is healthier habits so that you aren't in this contest in the future!  Make lifestyle changes, not extreme changes you can't sustain over time.

only down 2 lbs but not surprised since after taking time off you will gain muscle weight as you lose fat weight so will gain weight at first. feel much better and can already do more than a week ago without suffering the DOMS, Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, usually happens 2-3 days after you start a new program.

Well been going to the gym 5 nights a week and man is the guy that owns the gym kicking my butt!! On a 6 week muscle building program, which has its ups and downs. I'm not losing weight well maybe a pound or two but I'm gaining muscle and losing fat. After the 6 weeks I do know what he has in store for me. Feel a whole lot better now that I have been going. High reps low weight. Sounds like everyone else is doing good! Keep it up guy!!!

P.s. doesn't a big burger sound amazing haha!! :chuckle:

Alright....ready to post a progress weight for me. Few days ago I was sitting at the 239.9 mark per the scale. Was I having a good day and broke into the 230's and would it last? I wanted to make sure. This morning it says 239 on the money. One pound in two days means it wasn't a fluke. I'm happy with my progress and treated myself to an iced mocha and a muffin this morning. I've got a good lunch planned and will be at the gym after work to keep it up. I do feel a bit better and am sleeping better. There are other benefits as well but I'll leave that alone.

Keep up the work everyone...weekend is here....be strong but remember....reward yourself a little here and there.

Post by: Sitka_Blacktail on January 11, 2013, 02:52:11 PM
Started at 255 and after a solid week at the local YMCA, I'm seeing some progress. Just weighed in at 249 and that's after having lunch and re-hydrating after my morning workout. Started Mon shooting baskets for 90 minutes then did 2 1/2 miles on the cross ramp elliptical trainer. Tues did an hour of shooting around, then 3 1/2 miles on the elliptical trainer. Wed I messed around in a raquetball court for an hour working on serves and my short game, then put in 5 miles on the elliptical machine.  Thurs, I could tell I wasn't completely recovered from Wednesday's workout so I shot around for an hour, then did a short 2 1/2 miles on the elliptical trainer. Today I felt a little more spring in my step, so I hit the elliptical machine and did an hour with a 5 min cool down and made it 6.17 miles and burned 720 calories. I like to vary the strain so I had it set to 2 minutes at crossramp 4, resistance 10, then 2 minutes at crossramp 10, resistance 14. As I feel my wind increasing, I'll up those settings a bit. When I finished, I did a light workout on the weight machines. Not really looking to add muscle, just want to firm up what I have.

One thing for me is I like variety to keep my interest, which is why I started the basketball and raquetball. After another week of getting in some semblance of shape, I'm gonna look for a raquetball partner, as you can burn some serious calories playing that game. I have to make sure I do some serious stretching beforehand to help prevent injury. Nothing slows you down or ruins your work out routine at my age than hurting yourself. There is also adult volleyball a couple days a week that I may try. I think I'm gonna vary how I use the machines too. I think Mon, Wed, and Fri, I'll go for distance and Tue and Thur, I'll up the resistance and go for short bursts until muscle failure. I'm taking weekends off for recovery. I may do some hiking/game scouting tho.

Last but not least, for me, as far as losing weight, I'm not changing what I eat as much as how much I eat. I was always one of those guys who could eat and eat and eat and not gain a lb. when I was young and more active. I can't get away with that now. So I'm keeping my portions much smaller. The one thing I'm staying away from is pop and beer.

Just hoping I can keep mentally on top of this.......... so far so good!

Haven't read every post but I would like to throw out there for everyone to drink plenty of water daily.

I usually try and get in ten or so 8 oz glasses a day, nothing easier to drop weight early in a diet and it helps with the hunger pangs.

Whenever you feel like a between meal and snack treat, drink the water.  I keep a 32 oz bottle on my desk and keep track of my water consumption that way.

Down to 232 today.

I saw this on another site.  For those who like to have their coffee's and soda's and might I ad beer, everytime you want one, put that money in a jar and when you meet a certain amount splurge!  It can also work with workout's, pay yourself for each workout and when you get to a certain amount do something for yourself.   :hello:

I've been sticking to my workouts 6 days a week and 1 day off, at least until yesterday when the crud found me.  I took all my remedies that I have posted and am almost over it today.  I highly recommend them if you start to feel like you are coming down with the crud.  I took all 3 throughout the day about 3x's each. 

Here is another remedy.

3 cups water
3 Tbsp. honey
2 garlic cloves (just crush with the side of a knife)
boil and reduce until you have 1/2 cup of liquid, ad some fresh lemon juice and drink.

Weigh in this morning... 239  Down 6 lbs.   :tup:

Cut out a lot of carbs, cut down on calories.  I still "cheat" a little with a small piece of dark chocolate from time to time, but keep the calorie count down.

Got back to running again... ugh!  Put in a few miles, but not as many as I'd wanted.  Last week was endurance week at the pool, so that helped.  The next two weeks are speed weeks so lots of sprint work.  May go for a bike ride later, but it's damn cold out there!  Probably opt for a run instead.

Because it's a competition I should have weighed before the morning poop :o  But it always makes me feel better to wait till after :chuckle:  238 this morning with a goal of 195 by August 1.  Been 25 years since I was below 205 so I would be thrilled to be anywhere between 205 & 195 come August 1.  Quiting the smokes, Doritos and soda will be the real challenge for me.

I do what I call a no hunger plan.  I eat as often as I want, BUT only up to 200 calories at a time, minimum 15 minutes between.  Nothing more than minimally processed, no wheat, no processed sugar, no alcohol, just lean protein, fruit, veggies, nonfat milk, rice, corn.  Pretty much allows any 4 oz lean protein, fruit, veggie, up to 16 oz skim milk, I also allow myself coffee and diet cola, so I'm not weighing, measuring.  Friday is cheat day, do whatever I want (wine!).  Weigh in on Monday.  I pack a cooler each morning Mon-Fri with more than I'll consume each day, ice pack, few cans of diet pop, 1-3 bananas, 1-3 apples, 5-6 clementines, other fruit, couple of cold-processed dill pickles (Claussen), 3-4 packs of 3-4 oz each grilled meats (boneless/skinless chicken breast or thighs, london broil, grilled pork loin).  snacky treats include Fritos (corn, oil, salt), salt and pepper corn nuts.  1-2 Americanos with a couple of inches nonfat milk.

Anyone can join at any time, but their starting weight is whatever their weight is the day they join, so if someone joins in March or April, their starting weight is whatever their weight is on the day they join.  Can't have someone join in March saying oh man I've lost X amount of weight since 1 Jan can I join in at that weight, sorry no.  Post your starting weight by 1 Jan, or the date you join.

I found my answer.  I'll weigh in tonight and start tomorrow.

248 today. Seem to have hit a plateau already. Guess I'll have to work my way through it. I worked hard this week. 6 miles on the elliptical trainer on Mon, Wed, and Fri. 4 miles on the elliptical trainer Tues and Thurs. Plus three tough games of raquetball all 5 days this week. Only down 2 lbs for the week, but definitely have more wind and bottom end.
Started yoga classes last night too.

Ok, so I've done a couple other goal oriented groups before.  Not necessarily a weight loss group, but a goal oriented group nonetheless.  What I've found to be a good motivator in groups like this is to post up your goals for the week, and report on how you fared in keeping those goals at the end of the week.  It's kind of a way to hold yourself accountable to the group.  We may or may not keep those goals each week just because life happens, but it's something to help keep us going. 

I know some people are just changing their eating habits so it'd be difficult to post up goals about eating.  But, many of us are using a combination of eating habits and fitness.  So what you could do is something like this:

EX) My goal this week will be:
Run: 10 miles
Bike: 50 miles
Swim: 4000 yards or 2 hours
Gym weight training/cross fit: 4 hours   
Other(insert activity): 2 hours
Calorie intake per day: 1500.

What do you all think?  Should we give this a go?

Well I guess I'll sign up.  My scale says I'm right at 200, but I don't believe that pos.  Can't be true.  If I go to the doc's he'll say I'm more, but he stretches the truth.  I'm not sure how this is gonna work out.  I just started two 5 gallon batches of Mac & Jack's, and my freezer's full of pork.  The hens started laying again, too - but I'll give it a try.  I'm not making any promises, but I should weigh no more than 170.  I'll admit I have a problem.  I feel like an 18 year old trapped in an old man's body.  So my goal will be to have 30 lbs. off by the first of July.   8)

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!

1). My 11Yr old will be getting his license this year and hunting with me for the first time  :IBCOOL:

I started December 29 at 254, although my start for this competition was 252.4 January 1.  So, down 12.2 lbs in 4 weeks. 

If hunger gets to be an issue, I recommend allowing unlimited fresh fruits and veggies and lean protein.  If you are "hungry", but those "don't sound good", you aren't really hungry - you have a craving.  I hate being hungry, haven't been hungry once the past four weeks - but have dealt with mad cravings for various comfort foods.  Being aware of the difference helps me beat the cravings.

I had huge allergic reactions this past week.  I believe it was drinking that stuff...my 2 cents..anything withe chemicals that or something processed shouldn't be going into your body.  After these past few days, I am really going to start paying attention to these so called "zero" calorie items...

If indeed that was it, you don't want to continue to drink it.  If you do have an allergy to something in the drind the next reaction could be much worse.  With that being said, I have never had a problem with it.   We drink it at our house like it is going out of style.  Yummmmmm

There is also a Walmart brand thing that is just pottasium.  No calories, no sugar nothing.  Not sure how it flavors, but I used it in Iraq to drink that nasty tasting water.

Nothing lost nothing gained this week.  Things I'm trying this week, adding lemon to my water, taking a cayenne pepper mixture (suppose to help with metabolism burn) Still feeling a little weak from being sick.  Can't believe how long it takes to get your energy back up and how quickly you can get out of shape.  I was only down for 4 days and missed 7 days of working out and feel like I am back at the beginning where I started in September.  Guess I just have to push myself harder.  Feeling good that I'm down 11 already, but really looking forward to getting into the 140 range again.   :tup:

307.2   :o

Realistic goal I think is somewhere around 215.
I weighed 180 in the USMC, but I looked stupidly skinny.

302.8

So I lost 4.4 pounds for January.  I didn't start exercising and dieting until two weeks ago, so I am happy with that.  Hopefully it stops snowing here so I can start running.

Tanita Innerscan body composition scale.  It is not as accurate as more intensive methods such as water displacement or skin fold width, but a lot more convenient.

Down to 242 from 255. Gonna be pretty excited when I hit the 230s. It's been at least 12 years since I have been there. And the 220s, I was last there in 94.

Post by: pips4bucks on February 03, 2013, 11:19:16 PM
Down to 234.  Didn't lose any weight last week.  That's 3 pounds lost in 2 weeks.  I'm okay with that, because it's my understanding, that if you lose it slow you're less likely to gain it back.  On top of that, I had to take the belt in a notch.   :tup:

I started a new workout and it seems to be working.  It's cardio 6 days and every other day an additional workout with weights in the gym.  If anyone wants it I can post up the link to it.

I signed up for a 5 mile St. Patty's Day run and a pseudo Olympic distance triathlon in June.  I'm still tossing the idea around of doing a 1/2 Ironman in July.  The race date is pretty convenient as it's 10 days before the start of bear season.  So I'd be in top shape to go after bears, then it's just a matter of maintaining that condition through early elk season in September.  Time to get training!

Weight this morning 250.1

150 Today, 13 down so far.  Went on a hike yesterday for some coyote hunting with my other half.  My new Sitka hunting pants that I just bought in September are barely fitting me anymore, I felt like one of those baggy pants boys you see on the street and my belt needs another hole to make it work right!  Feeling great!  Still working out 6 days a week, I go between cardio workouts and lifting.  Water, Water, Water!  I eat protein, fruits, vegy's, & oatmeal.  I also have started making sure I eat coconut oil as a good fat.  I put a Tbsp in my smoothy's or in my oatmeal.   :hello:

Haven't read every post but I would like to throw out there for everyone to drink plenty of water daily.

I usually try and get in ten or so 8 oz glasses a day, nothing easier to drop weight early in a diet and it helps with the hunger pangs.

Whenever you feel like a between meal and snack treat, drink the water.  I keep a 32 oz bottle on my desk and keep track of my water consumption that way.

Down to 232 today.

Been on vacation since Jan 16.  Tried hard on portions and down to 228

299.4

-3.4 for the week, -7.8 total.  Run you can't quit, just like this board.  Once a member always a member.  Besides August is still a long way off.

243 here. I seem to have hit a plateau. Been up and down the last two weeks. Hit a low of 241, thenhit Super Bowl weekend and went back up to 245. was down to 242 Thurs, then back to 243 today despite working hard yesterday and this morning. Gotta break that 240 barrier!

Down to 214, which i think is 9 pounds.  For those of you hitting a plateau...work harder.  And for those who quit...SHAME on you!  (Yup it's a good old fashion shaming).  TBH, I was pretty unmotivated to start the year, but then I started planning my hunts, and one of them is a pretty serious physical challenge.  Now I'm in full gear.

If you guys are having trouble finding a good diet, I'd recommend the Paleo diet.  It's nice not having calorie restrictions.

Change your workout plan.  If you've been doing the same thing for a while, add some interval work and maybe some weightlifting.  That'll do more to get you through a plateau than fasting.  All that does is slow your metabolism down even more.

I did not join this weigh loss challenge on here but I just finished mine that we did at work.  Myself and about 25 others started a 6 week challenge, for the most body weight percentage lost.  I started in at 259 lbs.  I worked my ass off dieting without cheating, excercised every day for 1-2 hours, sometimes more with the exception of 2 days.  And the results were in this past monday.  I lost a total of 42 lbs in the 6 week challenge for a total of 16.20%

It was a hell of a 6 weeks with lots of mental struggles fighting off every urge thrown at me.  I now plan on maintaining my current weight of 217 lbs just with more weight lifting and reducing my cardio.  I feel so much better about myself and glad I did it.  Keep up the good work to all that is involved.  Its a tough challenge but very rewarding in the end!!

147 again this week.  I seem to loose a little and then hold it for a week or two and then drop a little again.  I've switched my workouts to mainly cardio and core workouts for now.  I think doing to much weight lifting is adding to my non weight loss.  I'm going to try and get to my goal and then I can ad weights back in more heavy.   ;)  Keep up the good work everyone!  :tup:

I am running right at / around 256 lbs and having a heck of time right now getting to / or below 255...So today I got serious.  I went on a 5 mile hike that started at 2700' and climbed to 3700' in the first 3/4 mile.  The rest of the hike was up and down and we ended at 1300'.  We carried packs for weight and and were in some fairly treacherous terrain where we did a lot of side hilling and climbing (use the word lightly) on small rock outcroppings.  Needless to say my legs are not liking me tonight, but I feel good.   My new goal is to do similar hikes once a week.  If I stick to this goal the pounds will start to fly off.

So I haven't posted anything because I hate to say I went from 331 to 334 the last two months.  Being lazy.  Now I got it back in order.  Wife and I started diet on Monday.  Bought a Bowflex from a co-worker and walking at lunch time when it isn't raining.  So this morning 327.  I haven't put a goal but I would like to get to 250.

148 this week.  Up 1lb.   >:(  But I haven't been exactly eating great.  Getting tired of always eating healthy, so I took a week off.  I'm still doing all my workouts mainly cardio and core for now.  I figured my BMI when I started at 29.8 which is the top of the overweight category.  I am down to 27.1, but still have to drop to 24.9 to be at the top of the normal category for my height.  So I'm wondering, so far I have dropped 16lbs and lost 2.2% in BMI which leaves me another 2.2% to loose to get to my normal BMI, does that mean I need to drop another 16lbs?  I'm not looking to be a skinny minny, just an in shape, ready to hit the mountains girl.  hmmmmm.

i dont put a whole lot of faith in the whole BMI thing, for example i was reading an article about the pros and cons of fitness indices BMI % body fat and what not, in the article to point out a flaw of the BMI they said that when Arnold Schwarzenegger won the mr universe (when he was in tip top body builder shape) his BMI was 36ish and thats considered obese and we all know the govenator was far from obese back then.


i havent posted an update in a while but this morning in weighed in at 263.4, i have no idea why i cant loose any more weight i eating right both type of foods and portion sizes im constantly improving on my run distance and stamina (ran an 11:45 mile yesterday new PR, and now can steadily get 2.25-2.5 miles in 30 mins) and im switching up my lift schedule and lifts to not get stale, my clothes and belt all say im getting trimmer and it shows in the mirror but that stupid scale keeps saying "no progress try again later fatty"

BMI doesn't calculate for Frame size or muscle.  Myself at 10% bodyfat is still 50 pounds over what I should be according to BMI

Eeek, okay finally gunna start this Monday (and I'll officially weigh in then), late in the game I know but I have 0 motivation in the dark short days of winter.

^^and I agree with all of you on the BMI thing, sorry but I am NOT losing 65-105 lbs ( :yike: !?!) to be a "healthy" BMI lol, that seems ridiculous.

Down to 236. Now I'm starting to get excited! My ultimate goal is 200, but if I can get down to the mid 220s by the time I leave for Alaska next month, I'll be ecstatic. It's been about 20 years since I was that light.

I won't have as good of work out facility as I have now, but my workout buddy also commercial fishes in the same town I do up there and we've made plans to ride bikes and hike this summer.  The local gym there does have weights and an elyptical trainer, plus there's a pool, so it's not all bad. Plus I'll be away from momma's tempting home cooking.

Weighed myself this morning 256.7!!!! I am on my way to 240 for sure, I am making way better progress than last year. Also my workout plan has been stalled since the 21st of February (new baby in the house). It is odd how sleep deprivation makes you want to eat like crazy!! I am hoping by the first of April I can get back to the gym, and get rolling again. Keep up the good work everyone.

Stuck on 150 again this week.  I am starting a 3 day fast/cleanse to see if I can break through the plateau and get dropping again.   :tup:  Really want to be in the 140's!

Change your workout plan.  If you've been doing the same thing for a while, add some interval work and maybe some weightlifting.  That'll do more to get you through a plateau than fasting.  All that does is slow your metabolism down even more.


JLS, my workouts are a combination of cardio and lifting.  I rotate through about 10 workout dvd's so I'm not sure how I might change my workout and further.  I've considered running, but I'd have to go somewhere to run, no place around our home.  But 2 days into my cleanse and I'm 148, I'll take that.   :tup:

Change some of your workouts so that they are higher intensity, or do the interval thing and go low intensity-medium intensity-high intensity followed by a brief rest period.  Then, do it all over again.  Don't do intervals more than twice a week.

A lot of the weight you lose from cleanses is just retained water.  Do you keep a food diary of what you eat during the day?  If you're still plateaued, you might look at doing this.  Sometimes we can make huge strides by really watching what we eat, it can be an eye opener for sure.

Good luck.

Ok, well I'm still at 150 again this week.  Didn't post last week.   :yike:  So I have been doing tons more cardio and less weights to try and see if I am just lifting too much and gaining muscle intstead of loosing weight.  I also went from doing a 30 minute workout to 40 minutes.  I don't keep a food diary, but I'm really strict about what I eat and I rarely cheat.  And if I do it is something simple like a small handful of chips or maybe 1 small cookie.  But other than that, I eat mainly protein and fruits and vegy's.  I decided I'd be brave and post a picture from this morning after my workout.  So the beat red face is from that.  :)

JLS, my workouts are a combination of cardio and lifting.  I rotate through about 10 workout dvd's so I'm not sure how I might change my workout and further.  I've considered running, but I'd have to go somewhere to run, no place around our home.  But 2 days into my cleanse and I'm 148, I'll take that.   :tup:

Change some of your workouts so that they are higher intensity, or do the interval thing and go low intensity-medium intensity-high intensity followed by a brief rest period.  Then, do it all over again.  Don't do intervals more than twice a week.

A lot of the weight you lose from cleanses is just retained water.  Do you keep a food diary of what you eat during the day?  If you're still plateaued, you might look at doing this.  Sometimes we can make huge strides by really watching what we eat, it can be an eye opener for sure.

Good luck.

Ok, well I'm still at 150 again this week.  Didn't post last week.   :yike:  So I have been doing tons more cardio and less weights to try and see if I am just lifting too much and gaining muscle intstead of loosing weight.  I also went from doing a 30 minute workout to 40 minutes.  I don't keep a food diary, but I'm really strict about what I eat and I rarely cheat.  And if I do it is something simple like a small handful of chips or maybe 1 small cookie.  But other than that, I eat mainly protein and fruits and vegy's.  I decided I'd be brave and post a picture from this morning after my workout.  So the beat red face is from that.  :)

Have you taken measurements before you started this? You very well could be losing inches and gaining muscle! :) good job :)

Nope I didn't :(  But I know I am down from a size 12 pants to an 8!   :IBCOOL:

Heck yea  :tup: .. It sounds like you're gunna continue, I'd take some measurements soon and start looking at that :)

IBSpoiled,

If you have the time, throw in a day a week where you do a long endurance workout.  Your HR should be about 70% of max, and try to work up to about a 90 minute or more workout. 

Variety is the spice of life when it comes to fitness.  Keep up the good work 8)

Heart palps are gone and so is the Coreg CR and Girl Scout cookies.  Dangit!  Now I'm stuck on 225.  Doc told me to go out and get a bunch of Mrs. Dash seasonings to reduce my sodium intake.  He says that will bust another 5 off this week.  Should be depressed and lighter by next weekend :chuckle:  Suppose to ease into cardio workouts again too so that should help as well.

^Radsav, I might try that as well, I forgot about Mrs Dash and it sounds like it might be delicious on some chicken. My food is so bland/boring I have to force myself to eat, I've basically cut out as much sodium from my diet as possible.

150 This is getting almost depressing!  I've increased my workouts from 30 minutes to 40 not counting warm up and cool down.  I also did a 30 minute cardio this week, followed by a 3 HOUR hike with hubby.  Our hikes are all uphill and all downhill on the way back so 1 1/2 hours both ways.  My legs felt really strong and I kept my wind, so I know I'm getting in great shape.  Just wish I could blast through my platue.  Here is a typical day of eating for me.  Oatmeal for morning maybe 1/2 cup, with a spoonful of coconut oil (good omega fat) a spoonful of honey and small amount of milk.  Big salad for lunch with homecanned chicken and homemade fat burning dressing on it.  Dinner is usually elk meat or chicken and vegy or popcorn with no butter and only small amount of salt.  I try not to eat after 6pm.  So hmmmmmmmmmm, I guess I'm stuck!   :bash:

I'm sure it must have been.   :chuckle:  I'll have to remember that key when I hit my next plateau!  I'm doing a liver flush today.  Been doing alot of reading up on the liver and how it can help you loose weight if you cleanse it.  Because if your liver is toxic, it can make it almost impossible to loose weight with eating healthy and working out.  Hopeing for some great results.   ;)

Ya, weighing yourself daily can defeat you!  Try and find a book called The Fat Flush Plan, it is a very well rounded plan and isn't a diet like other diets.  She explains alot about your body and how doing certain things can help you liver, kidneys etc. which will help you lose weight.  It is pretty simple to follow and mostly what I still do, after reading it last year.  The basic plan is to drink cranberry water throughout the day with lemon water and eat proteins and vegy's and fruit and she teaches you how to use herbs and spices to assist you in weight loss.  It is a really good book.  :)  You may also want to start with doing a parasite cleanse.  Most people don't think about it, but all of us carry parasites just like animals.  We use a product about once per year called humaworm.  I think the website is humaworm.com Sometimes it is the parasites that cause so many of our food cravings, so getting rid of them can really help in weight loss also.   :yike:

Still going down.  I am drending when the spot were I level out.  290.  Down 44lbs  I have been averaging 2-3 lbs a week.  Using a modified Weight Watchers diet, working out on a Bowflex 3 times and week and walking on a treadmill for 30 minutes almost everyday.  My treadmill has a motorized incline on it.  You can either do a program or push button to incline it.  Even with all the house hunting and going through the closing appraisal I have still been pretty good with it.  I suprise my self sometimes.  I remember and quaote from a high school football coach I had.  It is just mind over matter.  If you don't have a mind, it doesn't matter.   :tup:

figured id check in. i have no idea where im at, i lost my scale in the move back to wenatchee from bozeman and have not replaced it due to financial reasons.

been running 3 miles at least 3 times a week and have been doing insanity workouts (insanity is an understatement for that workout program) when time permits. my summer job hit hard and heavy have been living in a motel during the week in moses lake for the last three weeks. been trying the best i can to keep a decent diet and not give in to take out and fast food garbage. and i have yet to join a gym here in wenatchee

although through all this craziness i have had to punch a new hole in my belt and even with that my belt is already starting to feel loose on my hips

Ok you exercise freaks I need to know your motivation I was working lots and exercising lots. It got me wore out and sick. Not getting enough rest. I am all better know but finding it hard to get motivated to go workout after a long day of work. How do you push yourself and what supplements do you us? Thanks

I had to quit as I keep gaining even when I cut my eating and added exercise daily.... :dunno: I was becoming suicidal and close to bulimia again so I said screw it ....I guess i am now round and fat and have beat my highest weight ever 3 times inside 2 years.....gonna go see a doctor again and try and figure out what is wrong with me, probably be told its all in my head again but I have to try, then if this doesn't answer things I may take up smoking again and see about amphetamines/err prescription diet pills :rolleyes:....might work....

started this "contest" at 278.4, bought a new scale yesterday and weighed in this morning. today im at 252, ive lost 26.4 pounds since i stated this in january, have had to punch 4 new holes in my belt and most of my wardrobe is at least a size to big now.

its crazy to think i started working out regularly last september, at that time im pretty sure i was north of the 300 mark and it took 20 minutes to "run" a mile. now i actually run a mile in 10 minutes. today an average workout is a 3 mile run followed by an insanity workout, haha 10 months ago this daily workout would have killed me.

good job Russ, re-read all of this from page 1 to today. fell out after doing the Bone Marrow donation in April for an unknown recipient. got back on the cardio machines and weighed in @ 239 this morning, 1st time in 3 years under 240. December 11th 2011 was 263. lots of inspirational posts here, keep up the good work guys and gals. for those who stagnated, fell out or gave up, just start over again like I did. down 11.6 from my start feels good, my friends and co-workers notice a difference in my appearance, alertness, activity level & happiness.
one thing I had to quote from all of my re-reading this morning,

Don't make the mistake I did last year and start off good and then stumble and not continue participating.  We are all going to stumble sometime during the 243 days, it's going to happen.  Just jump right back on the wagon and keep going

Jumped on the scale this morning 280 down 54lbs. Don't think I will reach my goal of 250 by the end on the contest but going to be close.  I feel so much better now.  Do a lot more at work and home and don't feel exauhsted.  Hope you all are doing good.

Ok everyone, I've made it to the 20lb weight loss.  It has been slow going these past few weeks.  I just hit one platue after another, but I am glad that I am keeping the weight off.  This past weekend we did a 2 day hike.  The places we go is by far not easy.  This trip I had to carry an 18lb pack so we would have enough gear for our night stay.  We left around 3200 ft elevation and climbed to 5400 ft.  We never take the easy trail, in fact we had to get over one rock face and my husband thought he found us a way through a chute on the rock.  About 20 feet into it, we hit nothing but pure viney maples, so we claw and climb our way through them.  We get up about 100 yards and he realizes we are boxed in and that wasn't a good route.  Back down we go and had to go down in elevation to make it around the big rock and then back up to get on the ridge he wanted to hike.  I am happy to say, I made the complete 2 day hike with a pack on and never complained once!  I am in such great shape, now he is wishing he was in good shape too.   :IBCOOL:  I didn't measure myself before I started all this, but if you measure my belt from the previous hole I used to wear it on to what I use today, there is a 4" difference.  I encourage all of you, if you haven't stuck with it, give it another try.  The feeling of health is worth it.   :tup:

I am not competing...but....had been having a continued weight gain and stomach problems.....took bread out of my diet......and feel better and lost 8-10 lbs  :dunno: so now I cannot eat any dairy, no chocolate, no soy, avoid legumes, and no bread.... :dunno: when I stick to basically meat, veggies, and potatoes I don't feel like crap...and that is a good thing :)  I walk a mile or 2 each day and do yoga 2 days a week for almost 2 hrs, trying to get in the habit of doing it daily for at least 1/2 hr again but just not successful... I am so impressed with all those who lose lots of weight, I have never weighed so much before I have topped my pregnancy weight by almost double what I gained back then....I knew not smoking would have an effect just had no idea how much it messed my body up...

I see that I forgot to post my starting weight.  :bash:

This probably won't count now for the contest, but I think I was 265 at the first of the year, I got up to 270 in early July and decided I better drop some pounds fast. I'm at 248 now, feel better and hoping to get down to 240 by hunting season, might even make 230's by hunting season. I'm eating twice a day 3 or 4 ounces of meat, one fruit, one vege, per meal. One of my favorites is to put 6 or 7 strawberries and a handful of spinach in the blender and eat a small serving of meat, tastes great. Losing weight sitting at the computer on this diet. If I do something physical outside I have to eat a little more or I get light headed. But the pounds and inches are coming off. Just had to get my head set with determination to do it.  :tup:

I got anemia and stopped my original journey and sadly re-gained it all months ago.

I refused to give up though restarted July 8th, with a new healthier and funner approach. I want to do my final weigh-in on September 1st like everyone else (although I'm sure I won't be winning, I still think it's fun).

My last week's weigh-in was 213. :) makes me happy because I only got to 214 last time before I stopped and started gaining weight again. Now I beat that and am still losing.

Not sure if it too late but yesterday morning I was 247 not quite to my goal, but I will continue until Christmas. By then with my progress this far I may be below my goal by the first of the year!!!! I stopped exercising in March after our new one was born, and continued to slowly drop weight with diet alone, I can not wait to get back to the gym this fall and see what I can accomplish now that I am #30 lighter.  I am sure my diet will allow me to maintain what ever weight I end up at, and hunting season is going to be awesome this fall!

WOW, congrats to everyone.  There should be a bunch of doctors who are happy to see the loss of weight. 

I did want to provide an update as to my wife's weight loss.  Some my recall Sheryl had gastric bypass last year 14 October.  She spent 4 days in the hospital due to complications of lacerations to her liver that have since healed.  The biggest loser winner to me is my wife,  going from 299 lbs  to now 125 lbs

If not for her having the procedure, she may have not been here this year due to her failing health.   Since that time her doctors have taken her off of 18 of her 21 different medications she was on.  She now has a whole new outlook on life, meeting new people and making new friends.  I'm so happy to have her in my life, our kids and grand babies lives. 

I wish everyone good health as you continue your battle as I am.

After picture taken 20 minutes ago by 1 of my employees while I was finishing up my daily workout. even though only down 20 pounds I can really tell the difference in my stamina, drive and feel good meter. I plan on keeping at it as time allows and be down even more weekly, except for maybe my week-long hunting trip where I always eat crappier than other times simply because it's easier. biggest difference for me is MY gut is gone  :chuckle: I used to hit my gut with my thighs when on the arc trainer set on level 10 but no longer, keep at it folks and good luck in your outdoor adventures this fall!

So I finally got an after picture today.  I wanted one in the same setting as my before picture.  So here is my before picture July 2012 hiking and scouting.  And here is my updated picture 20lbs down and getting ready to pack out my husbands bear for him, so he could stay and elk hunt.  I'm pleased with the results.  In the after picture, I couldn't even fit into these pants last year, today they wouldn't stay up without my belt tightened all the way.  I can pull them down without even unbuttoning them.   :IBCOOL:

And a really cool picture of me and my horse in one of our barrel runs, that we won a saddle for.   :tup:

Thanks for doing the challenge and thank you for being a donor. it kinda hit home last DEC when I found out I had a form of it and am now taking meds I refuse to do the chemo. Figure at 65 the majority of my life is behind me and I'm NOT gonna go through all the crap that goes with Chemo so just gonna do what I can as long as I can.

Great Photos, my wife spends her whole summer going to rodeos and watching the horse groups practice, she doesn't ride, just enjoys watching others.

I had forgotten to properly register, but I am pleased, since Aug 3rd I have lost 33 pounds and feeling like I have a ton more energy.

Machias- First off I want to thank you for running an awesome thread and to the sponsors for contributing prizes. When this first started I was all in working out 2 times a day and eating better, but that trailed off when summer and work kicked into high gear for me, so the workouts stopped and the normal routine kicked in. I had forgotten all about this until you messaged me. I don't feel comfortable taking a prize that someone worked all the way to Aug 31st for. I gained weight back before the end of the contest, so I couldn't consciously take a prize away from someone else. Next year I am all in through the end of the contest if you happen to do it again!! Thank you again, and congrats to everyone that took part in this contest  :tup:  Move on to the next person!!
