2013 Hunt WA Biggest Loser Comp

[runamuk]

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  so now I cannot eat any dairy, no chocolate, no soy, avoid legumes, and no bread.... 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...

So now that the unpacking is winding down.  I got my treadmill and bowflex setup.  Jumped on the scale and 278 down 56lbs.

Great job Russ. I am down -11 lbs to 261. Lowest I have been since my final football season in 2008! I still have a lot to go before my Elk hunt in October!

I told my wife the other day that I am at the same weight I was when I met her 17 years ago.  Here is a good picture of me last summer on Samammish and then me Happy,Happy,Happy about a month ago.

248.6  today, finally broke through that 250 barrier

I see that I forgot to post my starting weight. 

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. 

[Russ McDonald]

Well slow going lately.  275 down another 1lb to a total of 59.  Want to get to the 60 mark before the first a good round number to end with  .  A little over 2 weeks left.

Went to the doc yesterday.  Cut my blood pressure med in half and down to every other day.  Almost off these things.
