2013 Hunt WA Biggest Loser Comp

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

[Russ McDonald]

yeah I don't follow the BMI either....everyone has different bodies styles....just feel good about your self that is how I see it.

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 ( !?!) 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.

197.4
Forgot to weigh in the other day. Haven't gone down in weight much more but noticing A LOT in inches!!

[jaymark6655]

299.4

-3.4 for the week, -7.8 total.

298.4

Only 1 pound this week.  Not too bad considering I got food poisoning on Monday, so I didn't exercise at all except yesterday.

295.6
Didn't lose or gain anything the week before last, but it had snowed so I didn't get to go running.
My NEW treadmill was delivered and put together last Wednesday and I dropped 2.8 lbs for a total of -10.6

[RadSav]

The heart palps seem to be working   Finally making a move.  Down four pounds to 233

[Russ McDonald]

325This morning.  Got me a treadmill and it is setup in the garage. 

[Lincoln4]

Eeeeww.  I don't like BMI!  At 30.6 last Thursday.     But, it's better than one year ago at 33.2!   

[RadSav]

Had some Girl Scout cookies last night.  Woke up this morning and I'm down another 3 pounds to 230.  I think I might be on to something   Perhaps I should write a diet book, The Coreg CR / Girl Scout Diet. I could be infamous

[WenHunter]

Well this morning weighed in at 251

[Becky]

I hate publicly shaming myself...

Okay okay, joining in TODAY, official weigh in 231 / goal 195 (lol) -36 lbs.

No I'm not going to go by my BMI and lose 70-106 lbs, HA! I'd look like skeletor. I'm a solid 5'9 girl
