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.
Good job!!! You can help the rest of us with tips and motivation!!

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:You could maybe set up an appointment?

how's it work?
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.

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

Im in last year I did not stick to it. This year will be different so do we post the weights now or wait until the first
I think we are suppose to wait till the first. At least that is how I understood it. Then post an updated weight every week.
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.

I am in ... Starting weight ....(ugh... this hurts...) 198 Goal is 140 (which I've been told by the Dr. is still too much for my stature) Trying to be realistic...
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.

Post by: Dan-o on December 29, 2012, 01:33:28 PM
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.)

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?"

what are the rules etc? they are not posted in the opening thread? :dunno:

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.

On the other hand, I was 228 when I started eating better and consistently working out mid-March 2012. Was down to 203 in late September. What the hell, it took me nearly 49 years to get there. Who cares if it takes me a few to get back to 160-170?

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.
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.

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.

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

Strongly recommend allowing yourself a scheduled cheat day. I would have faltered at least three times this past week if I didn't have Friday to anticipate. Yay cheat day!
Excellent idea!

Starting weight is 241
I can't make the numbers in Red Smart phone not so smart!
Just let me know if you got it!
Since having back surgery last year and the Holidays I could lose 40 lbs.

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!

I haven't weighed myself again, but can feel a difference. Probably update the 1st of each month. My goal is 180.
Also, I agreed to donate. Is there someone in charge of collecting the donated items?
We're not going to collect the donations, the winners will contact the donor of their choice and arrange for the prize delivery.

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.
Post by: IBspoiled on January 11, 2013, 07:24:44 PM
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.

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.

Anyone else totally FAILING at this?? Don't know what my problem is... Come hell or high water, I am GOING TO THE GYM this weekend...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.

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?

Post by: DOUBLELUNG on January 21, 2013, 10:20:45 AM
not budging here in fact after 3 days of eating careful and exercising the scale went up more.... :bash: :bash: :bash: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 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
I am currently carrying about 5lbs of excess fluid because I am on an increasing exercise program. Don't give up yet!

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 :dunno: 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 :bdid:
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 :IBCOOL:
2). Need to get extra life Insurance to protect the family. (Have to stop Skoal as well >:(
3). 30Yr reunion coming up this summer.

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.

Just a thought for those who hate water....try the MIO water flavoring. It is really good and has no sugers or calories. It can seem expensive, but it goes a long way. My personal favorites are blueberry lemonaid and fruit punch. :tup: :tup:
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...
Trust me, having you skin feel like its on fire and breaking out all over the place isn't worth it. I'm going back to water and pure veggie juice for now.

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

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.

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!

BUT... I'm not giving up! I haven't managed to find the motivation myself, so I decided to enlist the help of a personal trainer. It's certainly not going to be cheap, but I waste money on FAR worse... I figure If it helps get me jump started then it's worth it!!! So will be working with her two days a week for the next 6 weeks. Nervous but excited!!! Wish me LuCk!!

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

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.
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.

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

Ok, so waterfowl season is finally over, unexpected trips to the South are finally over, vacations are finally over, time to start this diet and weight loss thing. I weighed in January 1st knowing January was going to be a fat eating weight gaining month. I planned to start the first Monday in February, so here goes.
Weight this morning 250.1
My goal is 220 by May 1st and then 200 even by the end of June. Anything after that and less than 200 will be a huge bonus!
244.7 Today.

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!We are in EXACTLY the same place. February is just up and down, low of 241, looking for that break!

343.8 tonight. Lots a little just watching what I eat now time to step up the workouts!

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:

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!!

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.

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. :)

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. :)
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 :)

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)

JLS, that might be tough! I am a stay at home mom that homeschools our kids and I do have the other half of IBspoiled to take care of also. Not including all the chores around our farm of horses, goats, dogs, chickens etc. But I will try. Thanks for the suggestions. ;)

^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:
Sometimes on a strict diet my metabolism needs a big punch in the gut to get over a plateau. A single scoop of Coldstone Icecream and BAM! Almost the very next day I start to drop weight again. Works for me :dunno:

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. ;)

Oh I've never heard of that, I've always stayed away from cleanses but only because my lack of knowledge on doing it the right/healthy way. I've been weighing myself too often day to day (when I know you're supposed to do it only weekly) and now my scale batteries died :( haha.

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:

Truth be told, it was awsome while I was doing it but I now have a huge amount of guilt. As of a couple days ago I was at 246.3 lbs, down from 280. I guess a good cheat day will not kill me, but now it is time to get serious again.

293 down 41 pounds so far.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:

:yeah: I eat 5 meals a day at total between 1500-1800 calories a day and I also take a multi-vitamin pack once a day. Then I look in my closet and stare at my old uniforms and think how close I am to getting back in them. Find your motivation and stick to it.

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.

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

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 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.

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!

Jingles, I like that pic you posted, having been a donor for a 17 year-old Leukemia patient I wish I had seen your post before, I am doing a challenge here @ work and would have made my shirts orange for awareness. next time.
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.

:yeah: x3
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.
Post by: bearpaw on September 10, 2013, 06:10:20 AM

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!!
