Ok, I'm offering the knife of your choice from Rainshadow1. Up to $150, I'll pay. My starting weight is 298. My goal for 1 Sep is 200. We can do weekly weigh-ins, but your not obligated to post it each week, but it will help to keep you motivated. I'm doing the Nutrisystem Diet again. In 2010 I lost 105 pounds in 182 days on NS. Gained most of it back in 2011. :bash: Broke my ankle and fell right back into old habits.:o What a prize I wish I had some weight to lose.

:yike: Can I include the weight I've already lost in the last month and a half since I've already started getting back in shape? I was hoping for something like this with the turn of the new year but nada, so I just started and have been plugging away ever since.
Sorry. You should have said something! :) I actually started on the 23rd of Feb and I'm down 9 pounds, but we'll have to start it now. We should actually start the date from today, but what do you guys think? I'm easy going. What do you think, everyone needs to join by 1 April?

I think it is great idea!! I think that this would be a great motivator. I only need to lose about 5lbs so I am out. I just hope you guys are not going to line up in your underwear with no shirts for an official weigh-in. If anyone is in the Port Angeles area and wants someone to train with then feel free to send me a pm. Good luck to all.

I am 6'0 276 when I started on the 1st
I do it every year, get down to a great weight. Hunt and guide in good shape then I go to crap! Time to start getting back to a good shape :tup:
I take pictures each week of the scale. I use them as motivation for myself to keep going. I have no problems sharing them with everyone.
I would like to get down to about 230-240 I hunted last year at about 235 and had lost 45lbs to get there.

Good luck guys. Make these changes so that they are lifestyle changes and you don't have to redo all of this again next year!

Just have a question. Are we measuring this by plain old weight or a percentage of body mass loss. See my two examples below.
ex 1: Starting weight 260, Lost 30 pounds. Final weight 230 Total weight loss 30 pounds
ex 2: Starting weight 260 Lost 30 pounds. Final weight 230. 230/260= 88% of original weight. So body mass loss is 12%

I mean if the winner loses 100 lbs, the other contestants are only out $25 but that would add up quick for the winner.

Post by: Machias on March 05, 2012, 01:22:53 PM
I am in either way but I have a suggestion. Each person that says they are in, pays the winner $.25 for every pound the winner loses? This way people stay committed. This is obviously on the honor system and before and after photos would have to be shared at the end.

Good idea, but I think we'll just go with the percentage this contest.

That is for sure, I learned that quick. Anything like oj or chochalot or any thing with a lot of acid, late at night. I will not be able to go to sleep because it is killing me so bad! When I get done fasting and get down to my hunting weight. I have maybe 1/3 of the problems I do when I am bigger.

I think it's awesome we are getting so many guys to join in. Let's try to have a weekly weigh-in and report, just to keep you motiviated and updated. I was thinking I was going to be a shoe in to win myself an outstanding knife....now I'm not so sure. I will tell you all this and you all already know it, no matter who wins the knife, if we all get healthy and lose some weight we'll all be winners for that!! I will have the spreadsheet posted in a few days with everyone's name, initial weigh in, their goal weight, the amount lost for that week, total loss and their percentage lost. Good luck everyone and if anyone needs help/encouragement please let us know!!
I agree 100% it's a good motivator between friends and members to keep eachother going. I got on the scale this morning and was very happy. I will post the 1 week weight tomorrow. The first weeks or 2 I love all the extra extra stuff just falls off of me. Then I go down to just several pounds a week. Wish the rest would fall off as well :chuckle:

232 lbs. currently Last year I drew a branched antler bull permit and went from the 240s to around 210, and got up & down the hills noticeably easier, now it seems as though the stairs are getting longer & gravity is getting stronger, so it's time to do something!

Might be a good idea to post up some ideas or gives some tips on how each person is going about their weight loss. What are some of you doing that you are having success with? Specific workouts? Specific diets? Might help some of those who don't know where to begin or who haven't had much success in the past. I try to stick with fruits, veggies, fish, and lean meats like chicken. Red meat once a week. For those of use with high cholesterol, getting your heart rate up over 100 bpm for at least 30 consecutive minutes each day is a good start. I went from numbers similar to Bone's in regards to cholesterol and triglycerides, to normal levels in about 6 months with exercise and taking the meds my doc prescribed. I'm almost to the point where I won't have to take the meds much longer! Motivation is a huge factor, and just doing it is another. It takes 21 days to form a habit. It will be hard, but staying with it will make you feel much better. Hopefully this contest will help with the motivation and there is lots of support here as well. Good luck guys!
this is how i'm doing......oh wait a minute, i caught you there...trying to get members to divulge their secrets so you can use them to win!!!! :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: I'll let anybody know my workout regiment at the end but I'll share my diet plan.
breakfast-1 serving of whole grain cereal with fat free milk-try to keep around 200 calories
lunch-cold sandwich no dressing or condiments, just a serving of cold cut meat cheese and lettuce-try to keep around 200 calories
dinner-meat serving with veggies or salad-try to keep around 1000-1500 calories

So since week 1 started the 5th I s weekly weighin due sunday evening or monday morning? Are you going to establish a deadline for weighin or sometime on the 7th day?
I figure anytime Friday morning to Monday morning. Everyone has a particular day they can or like to weigh in. It's not mandatory to weigh in each week, it'll just help keep track. Bottom line your last weigh in has to be 31 Aug, so we can calculate the winner. I have e-mailed back and forth with Rainshadow, he will work with me...er the winner and make a fantastic knife. I'm donating the $150 and Rainshadow is going to make you a knife worth even more than that based on what I...er...whoever wins wants. :)

The problem with me going on nutri-system or something like that is then all the game I have in my freezer does not get eaten. Whatever I do I need to still enjoy the end product of my hunting. I like my elk and deer meat. So I will move almost all that to being cooked on the grill now when I have a dinner that includes red meat.Wild game is actually good for you because it is lean meat.

Ok Ok, all of you guys just shouting your weight out has guilted me into it - put me in at starting weight of 244 :yike:, goal by September is 195, or otherwise known as a good start...
p.s. this is after a 30 lb weight loss already this past year - low carb, increased exercise - I was practically jogging the Pheasant fields this year, it felt so good to be lighter! I am looking forward to the Turkey Hunt and to another summer to improve my bottom line as it were before Pheasant Season!
p.s.s. Add some grilled chicken to that "DamnDietSalad" and you have got a much more satifying meal :-D
p.s.s.s. Use up that game meat in your freezer by grilling for salads or a vegetable stir fry! Steaks of vension are super healthy! Just no rice or pasta. My husband has been making these amazing venison burgers (no beef fat added thank you - just some egg and whole wheat crushed crackers) that we eat with some sauteed mushrooms and a slice of Swiss Cheese - you won't miss the bun!

As this progresses it would be nice for people that hit on something that really works for them to post their tips. I know it is a contest but I think it is really about all of our health. Who knows, you help someone take off 50 lbs. that person just might be the one to help you pack that elk out of the canyon.
That's a great idea. It doesn't have to be radical and starving yourself is NOT the answer. I gotta tell you the reason the Nutrisystem is so good is becasue it is so fricken easy to do and stay on. I have tried diets in the past and always fail because they are too hard to follow. This thing is amazingly easy, I am never hungry and the weight does come off regularly and consistently. 105 pounds in 182 days and that was not doing anything other than following the plan to a "T" and walking most every day. I'm really looking forward to this weeks weigh in becasue I have already tightened my belt two notches.
One thing for the ladies, do NOT be discouraged by the hug numbers some of these guys are going to post. I visit the Nutrisystem website and most of them are ladies and they ALL loose at a much slower weight in the beginning, so don't get discouraged!!!!

You are very brave! I am not quite there yet...maybe after a couple weeks I will have guilted myself to it as well. I did take a before pic and skitched my weight into the picture....so at the end I will post it no matter what...well if I don't lose any I might not! :dunno:

I don't want guys to get discouraged if they see others getting better results than theirs and giving up because they won't be "in the running" for the knife. I think if we get a few others to maybe offer a prize it might help keep more people motivated.
That being said I will donate something for the contest, maybe a gift certificate for one of Bone's 2013 calendars, if that can be worked out with Bone. If not I will find something else to donate.

The first one is a standard dream catcher, she also makes one that has leather stretched out in the hoop rather than the "web". The second picture is a plain leather bound photo album. The third one is a photo album she made for a wedding. The fourth picture is the other type of dream catcher. She can cut out about anything for the front of the album and also has some cool stencils she can use as well.

I just bought a new digital scale tonight, my previouse starting weight was incorect due to a crappy scale, so my new starting weight is 301 with a BMI of 42%, yes this new scale is progamable per up to 4 users, put in your height and it automaticaly calculates your BMI
Cool scale, I'll update the spreadsheet soon.

Great idea, I started my own personal weight loss program Feb 13th. I decided to commit to the p90x program and started my fourth week. Very challenging but with the right diet plan it works awesome. I actually feel I get to eat better than any other time I tried to drop wait. A year of ago I was 360, so far this year I was at 338, now down to 315. Already dropped 3 waist sizes and expect to hit under 300 in the 2 weeks if all goes well. good luck to everyone.
That's awesome keep it up. :tup: I'm at the end of phase 2 of the lean program and it works good. I started it late as compared to just the gym but once I added this to the arsenal the endurance, strength, stamina shot up and the pounds have started falling off. I do it in the morning and during my lunch I run and stair climb or bike and elliptical going hard with only a quick break to change machines. Keep it up! :tup:

Well, my ticker doesn't show but the link does. I went a lb in the wrong direction this week and don't even know why. Not enough gym, for sure. Been on the road. Moon cycle's wrong. Too much rain. The planets aren't aligned right. Someone's feeding me sugar in my sleep. That'll about cover it.

Yes sir, I am in on the P90X too. I just finished the first phase of the original work out. I have been going to the gym for years and have heard of the P90X for awhile and I finally caved in and started it up about 3 weeks ago. I love it so far. I would say I am in pretty good shape already or I thought I was and even in the short 3 weeks I have seen improvement already. I seen he came out with P90X2 the end of last year I am thinking of getting that later this year and trying that. I seen some videos of some of those work outs, looks crazy but in a good way. And to everyone on here working and getting in shape no matter how you are doing it. KEEP IT UP!!!! Great job everyone. :tup:

TeacherMan,
Be careful, you drop too low in calories and your body essentially goes into starvation mode. Your metabolism slows down and your weight loss slows.
You guys should be trying to incorporate some sort of strength training in your routine, because as you add muscle cells your metabolism speeds up. Plus, it's a great way to prevent injury!
Good luck.

I'll second this, especially for us bigger guys. I spoke to my doctor a little while back about not having much luck losing weight and he asked about my diet. When I told him I was down to 1500 calories he was surprised I wasn't actually gaining weight. He said anyone over 225-250 lbs or so shouldn't drop below 2,000 to 2,200 calories a day until they had gotten down below 250 lbs. He said the best way is really to just gradually work your way down and shave off maybe 100-200 calories a day each week or so, and try to maintain at least 30-60 mins of exercise 5 days a week.
Post by: Goldeneye on March 18, 2012, 12:58:48 PM
As is usually the case after the initial quick drop in weight my body somewhat locks down. Now the weight will be tougher to bring off.
Cravings for food I don't normally eat are really kicking in. I have resisted so far...

I put in anther 45 minutes today on the tred mill at 4-7.2mph. Burned 542 calories. I only took in 745 calories today. With that said I'm feeling heavy from the corned beef and cabage last night :chuckle: When I started on Feb. 13th I was 260, when I signed up on here I was down to 239. But then I went back up to 245. I think some of the first weight loss was water. I'm hoping to be back down to my sign up weight of 239 Monday.
745 calories is not enough. I have a physiology degree and my wife is a personal trainer, so take it for what it's worth and what you paid for it. You cannot be healthy eating that few calories a day. You are also hindering your weight loss in the process.
You have to have a 3500 calorie deficit to lose a pound of fat. Have you had a body composition reading? Any idea of what your basal metabolic requirement (calories a day to sustain) is?
Try to establish a healthy routine that you can sustain over the long haul. Then, you won't be repeating this again next year.
Good luck.

I have to agree now that I came back and read the recent posts. I make every attempt to stay below at least 2000 calories a day. I don't want my body eating away at the muscle tissue instead of the fat tissue. When your body goes into hunger/starvation mode (whether you feel hungry or not that's what your body is doing right now and after your workouts) it starts to chip away at your muscle tissue for nourishment rather than your fat tissue. Keep a good HEALTHY calorie intake and keep working out hard and it will all work out fine.
I'm at 10 weeks on the healthy calorie intake and work out regimen and I've dropped 41 lbs and it's all fat tissue loss, so don't take this as being preachy or anything, i'm not a compelete expert or have a degree in this stuff but I know a thing or two and whatever works for you then that's great, just some advice.

Healthy eating and increased exercise has worked for me in past years. Portion control and watching excess sugar and fat control my calories without major calorie counting. If I plateau for a week or 2 I will usually shock my body with a longer intense workout or a day of fasting.
Good luck everyone!

The part where I usually get discouraged is after a few weeks of working out hard I start putting on more muscle weight than I lose in fat weight. It is a good thing because I am gaining the good and losing the bad at a higher rate but looking at the scale brings me down.
Don't let it get you down! I started working with weights after my nightly run on the elliptical this week and I have lost far less this week than the preceding ones.

DANG, I want a snack Toothpicks and cardboard are starting to look good. Less desk time would help as well. No snacky stuff, no treats, make lunches, no prepackaged stuff...I cleaned out the house. Made beans/ brown rice, veggie soups, dirty rice(brown rice), Jambalaya and ham/beans and some cornbread w/o sugar. All tastes good but leaves a hole.

I'm down 1 pound this week going from 171 at the start of last week down to 170 today. I've went from 176 to 170. Slow but sure. It isn't getting any easier but we're moving in the right direction. Have a great week everyone.

weekly total and its combined by Wrangler into the spreadsheet as weekly and overall total. You don't have to report weekly if you don't want to, the only weigh-in that matters is the final weigh-in, everything in between is for motivation and tracking purposes. Keep it up! :tup:

My house was broken into a short time ago. Been dealing with contractors to rebuild the front of my house as the ass-hats did a number on things, the sheriff, Insurance, installing a security system, and am still finding things missing. The *censored*s even took some small trinkets my dying mother had given me just before she passed. No real value except to me. Then the sum-bitches had the balls to come back and check out my house repairs and test the new doors strength. My guess they'll be back with something bigger to slam into the door.
Anyways, the diet kinda fell to the side with all this going on. Latest weight 249. I plan to try and restart the weight loss effort.

FC, you plannning on taking that vacation soon so I can catch up to you? :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
Hell no! Whether I want it or not though, I'm peeling the weight off slower these days, I'm making a few changes but I am getting towards the point of diminishing returns now.
229 -1 I finally broke the 230 skunk anyway!

I didn't sign up when this started because I had been working on my weight a little before this got started. I started Feb 1st at 262 and this morning was at 220 even. I am looking to lose another 40 pounds but have been stuck here for a while. Im hoping I can beat it and start dropping again.
214 this morning. This area between 225 and 215 was super hard to break. I hung there forever. Hopefully now that I am down past 215 I can keep dropping. 2 more pounds and I will be 50 pounds light since Feb. Im sure that will happen this week.

rofl! My belly has been gurgling bigtime ever since then too hahaha! 225 was my original goal for elk season :) and I made it with time to spare!
Coming down from an unofficial weight of about 300lbs six months ago has been awesome, I haven't been in this good a shape from a cardiovascular standpoint in my entire life! From a strength standpoint I am doing very well also.

So I have been not jumping on the scale lately. Due to getting geared up for the fire season for communications. Didn't think I had lost anything maybe even went up. Jumped on the scale and 325 -3 wow who would have thought. That is down 14bls since starting this and 20lbs since Feb. Good job to everyone else too.
25 more lbs of meat you can pack per trip this year! Keep it going!

212 -12!
Unofficial start weight of around 300 6 months ago (I didn't even want to admit THAT) and a less impressive official start weight of 267, I am down to the last 15-20lbs or so now.
Congratulations to all who participated in this one, the results alone are a hell of a win for all of us!
Edited to add before and after pics.

I have been horrible about keeping up with this, life happens is my only excuse. I did end up losing more, down to about 315 but still working at it. My offer still stands for the second place winner, looks like Turkeybuster came in next so he can send me a PM and let me know what he might like to have my wife make for him.
Congrats to everyone who participated!
From my original post:
The first one is a standard dream catcher, she also makes one that has leather stretched out in the hoop rather than the "web". The second picture is a plain leather bound photo album. The third one is a photo album she made for a wedding. The fourth picture is the other type of dream catcher. She can cut out about anything for the front of the album and also has some cool stencils she can use as well.

Be sure to do this again next year. I didn't know the contest was going on, but I went from 237 to 221 in four weeks to get ready for the high hunt.
I'd sign up next year for sure. Great idea!

Just got back from Dr. appointment and he has confirmed my scale is correct. At my May 24th appointment I weighed in at 287, today I am happy to say I'm no longer in need of my blood pressure meds, cholesterol and a few others due to the fact I have been successful in (DRUM ROLE PLEASE) getting my weight down to 230lbs. That's is right 57lbs in 6 months.
:IBCOOL: :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL:
Now all I need to do is work on my smoking and poof I have it made. Thought I would share my great news to all and wish each of you success in your changes in life.
