[Armen]

351.8 (Mar 28) - 348.0 (Apr 04) = 3.8 down this week.

5.4 + 3.8 = 9.2lbs down total so far.

348.0 (Apr 04) - 350.1 (Apr 11) = +2.1 gained back.

A bit discouraging, but I will keep plugging away. No excuses.

[baddbullitt]

Chris ou just need to have a good shit and you'll drop 5 pounds buddy!! lol.. But in all seriousness, don't get discouraged. Just keep at it bro!!

[ZR]

Pissed me off but I'm back to making a lil progress this week.

[ZR]

[Kirk]

down a few more pounds... I'm totally addicted to the gym now & I'm at that stage where If I eat something unhealthy then I feel extremely guilty

[Ray721]

Well due to a screw up at the Keg and a comp steak I shared with my old man I ain't going anywhere near a fkn scale this weekend.

Baked garlic shrimp
Mushrooms Neptune
Bacon wrapped scallops
1.5 Twice Baked Potatoes
1.5 Fillet mignon dinners.
2 Pints of Rickard's Red

I'm stupid full. Like...it hurts lol

[Not4you]

by noon I'm now jones'ing to get back home to get on the weights and treadmill - looking for that cheap adrenaline rush. Just got finished with my toughest workout yet and want to go down and do it again!! I'm also 1lb away from my lowest point in nearly 5 years. hoping to see the right side of that by the weekend. and now after almost 3 weeks of eating well, I don't just feel guilty about eating something crappy, I'm having a fucking allergic reaction to it. what my body did to that pizzburgerfucker at wnnotc wasn't pretty ... put it this way, I ate just shy of 3000 calories of grease and sugar and LOST weight.

But you crushed that pizza burger like a champ. You still should have had the sweet potato fries.....never would have been told there were none of those left!!! Seriously, when the fuck does boston pizza run out of fries????

That's a huge accomplishment, Matt. Congrats!

[Ray721]

Congrats Matt, that's awesome news. I don't think I'm gonna eat anything today. I'm still full lmao! But I've got three days of detox to do. Hopefully I can get something started now that the cold weather appears to be gone for good now in the long range forecast.

312 today, that makes 18 since this insanity started. Still aiming for south of 300 by my 49th on May 4. I'll need to step up a bit. It's going to be close!

Already noticing that getting my fat ass out of the mustang is getting a little easier. Lol

How to post Awesome.

[SVOMACH1]

232 with no exercise. I have to start going for walks and bike rides again once the last 5 feet of snow melts.

[Armen]

350.1 (Apr 11) - 343.2 (April 18) = 6.9 down this week.

Switched to a thin/low cal bread for my work lunch. And I cut out the low calorie in between snacks (Fibre granola bar, Special K crisps) and just went totally to apples, pears, carrots.

I've also increased the intensity of my workouts with some cross training. So I'll lift weights, jump on the elliptical for 10 min (or 5 or 15 to switch it up) at an increased pace and then jump off and run back to the weights for a set (or two or three). And then back to the elliptical. I'll do this for about 40 minutes. It's kept it interesting and even fun.

[Not4you]

awesome Armen. I've been going 1-2 lbs at a time, I'd love to go down 7 at once! nice.

[Armen]

I'd love to go down 7 at once!


Ummmm, err... What..?

[Not4you]

ok. well played.

[Uncle Buck]

I think everyone on this thread deserves a big pat on the back. Stay strong over the weekend!

[ZR]

No change for me this week. Given I didnt' work at it very hard, I'm good.

[horseplayer]

Same here. Had a couple more indulgences than usual this past week but managed to stay the same at 190.

I actually dipped below the 190 mark for the first time in a long time but 189.8 still counts as 190 in my book.

[Not4you]

I know you're not supposed to hop on the scale every day, but I've been hunting a number all week and hit it this morning! super stoked and feel like working out twice today!! not going to call it official until it is still there (or better) after the two upcoming Easter dinners.

[baddbullitt]

I'm down to 252!! :D 2 more to hit the 10 lbs mark!!!

[Not4you]

Sweet potatoes, zucchini, apples with some cinnamon topped with skinless chicken breast with a maple bbq rub sat in the slow cooker all day ... now sits in ma'bell'eh!!

I've had a great week this week. I weigh in tomorrow.. Been a good lad so I hope it's paid off..... Lots of exercise!!! And I'm always way under budget on my lose it app!!! Fingers crossed!!

[69mullet]

i hate exercise, haven't done a stitch of it so far, but I know I will hit a plateau soon and will have to start :(

[baddbullitt]

Weighed in this morning and I'm at 250!!!! :) First 10 pounds gone in a little less than a month!!!! Feeling pretty excited!!! woo hooo!!!

[Intmdtr]

I too can post some good news, I had struggled with losing more weight after dropping the first 15 pounds, and well I finally can say i broke into the 30's. 239lbs this morning. makes me grin as it has been a while since i seen the 30's.

[baddbullitt]

Right on buddy! Keep up the good work!! I'm looking forward to being back in the 30's as well!!! When I hot the 20's I'll fit back into my old clothes :D

[Uncle Buck]

Weigh in tomorrow. Hmmm wasn't terrible this week but not as good as I should be. We'll see.

Chocolate bunnies. Lol....

[Uncle Buck]

[Not4you]

[horseplayer]

I'm stuck on 190 lbs again this week - down 8 in total. Haven't lost any in 2 weeks now, but man did I eat good easter weekend.

Distilled water......I used to cut 20 pounds or so in about 8 days most times.

[Mustang4]

Last Monday the 19th I stayed at 184, this Monday the 21st, was 183. Basically just holding.

[Armen]

343.2 (April 18) - 340.2 (April 25) = 3 down this week (17 in total now).

Not bad but I slacked this week. Missed 3 workouts and had Wendy's Thurs night.

And now, at 1230am, I WANT PIZZA!

[baddbullitt]

Mmmmmm Pizza!!!!

I was feeling the same way last night. hungry after my workout. just went to be to sleep it off. feel fine this morning. phew, dodged a bullet I guess.

[baddbullitt]

Great late night snack suggestion... Cucumber It's great for your metabolism and it will make you feel less hungry and less desire to raid the fridge! try not to go to bed hungry. You can end up binging later on!!

[Uncle Buck]

I hate those hungry evenings. I just go to bed early too. Has the added benefit of the extra ZZZZs

[Screw]

went up a bit but shaved 5lbs ,10 to go for my goal . Some of you guys are doing awesome :encouragement: , intake + inactivity = + lbs for me , if I don't move my azz I just pack it on even if I eat moderately . Distilled water eh ?

[Armen]

Ya... But with work, my sleep patterns are fkd.

I got home from work at 8am. Went to bed at 12 noon. Woke up at 5pm to feed the beasty. Went back to bed until 1130pm. Stayed up till 330am. Woke up at 7am.

Anyway, I had a toasted turkey samich at 1am, lol.

[Mustang4]

182 lbs this morning. Like to break 180 by end of week.

[Not4you]

just did a double episode Sons of Anarchy treadmill work out. legs were killing from the gokarting yesterday but once they got warm i was fine. no chance in using the bowflex though, way too much pain in my arms, shoulders and neck from the racing. man that kicks the crap outta me!

[Not4you]

262 this morning. that means I am down 10lbs in 4 weeks ahead of my 2lb/week goal. hard to believe that I have basically been carrying around one of these all this time ...

I had a couple of sketchy days, but was still under my calorie budget.. Just hope all these walks I've been taking Clive on are still working!! Raining today so I'll be using the glider in the basement... I really need to get a treadmill!!!

[Not4you]

^^^ search kijiji. I got mine for $400. It was almost brand new and was nearly $2000 new. guy got it, moved to a smaller house, had no space, so I did him a favour. saved a ton!

[Intmdtr]

better watch 4 episodes of SoA matt before chasing one of them cheeseburger thingys......i am starving myself today....plus did 1hr 15mins with the personal trainer this morning. I need a nap.

[Not4you]

no pizzaburger for me tonight. I am clearly allergic to them.

I started back on using TapOut XT today.. Hopefully I'll be able to do that a few times a week for some added exercise!!

Went out in the rain and took Clive for his walk.. Then when I got home gave him a bath...lol...

[Intmdtr]

i gained back a pound and am sitting at 240.

[Not4you]

262 to start the week, 261 this morning.

[Old Fart]

Leveled off at 265...need to try a bit more!

[Biz]

Crappy weather and travelling has left me the same today. Not making excuses but enuff with the shit weather.
Got a new bike that needs a good work out :D

[Uncle Buck]

Just held my own this week. A blow out last Saturday and a couple out little items though the week. Back to business this week.

[horseplayer]

I got back on track this week and down to 188 lbs today.

[cf105arrow]

I'd like to join the club if you don't mind. Got into a mini argument with the wife about my weight. Now I have to trim up. I have a small frame so don't laugh when I tell you my starting weight is 162 lbs (as of two days ago). It doesn't show well on my frame( I have to admit). The goal is 145 by the end of June.

[Not4you]

a few in this thread have had some success with using Lose It! either as a phone app or the website. Give it a shot. It is a bit of work to be sure you log in everything you eat and all your exercise but it is helping me understand my eating habits for sure.

[cf105arrow]

I'll take a look. Thanks.

[Armen]

340.2 (April 25) - 338.5 (May 02) = 1.7 down this week.

Not amazing loss this week, but it's at least nice to see the 330's again, lol.

[69mullet]

I should be into the 250's tomorrow. Hoping to hit 50lbs lost by early next week. Thats the goal. If I can lose another 20 on top of that I will be very happy. So glad I kept all my old clothes. Now I can fit into all them again! I owe the majority of my success to Myfitnesspal. Amazing app!

[69mullet]

well, the scale is friendly to me this morning! Started at 306 3 months ago, this morning I weigh in at 257! 1 pound to go and I've hit my 50LB mark. Only 32lbs until I hit my goal!

[Nsty04SVT]

Wow some serious progress in here guys! I am going to try some of the apps mentioned in here...would love to lose about 20 pounds myself! I am the heaviest I have ever been :S seem to fluctuate between 197 and 202 would been in heaven if I could see the 170's again!

[Uncle Buck]

Everyone looks just mmmarrrrvelllous!

[ZR]

Nice progress by a bunch of peeps.
Back to being serious for me, results to follow.
Hope the weather co-operates so I'll get back to walking a few miles again.

Let's git er done.

[Not4you]

down a couple more. 259 this morning. First time in the 50s since I went to China and got super sick a bunch of years ago.

[Uncle Buck]

^^ better technique this time

[Intmdtr]

so i got back on the wagon this morning. Spent 30 minutes with the Personal trainer, sweat out 250 calories, then i jumped on the eliptical for another 30 minutes and burnt off another 215 cals.

[cf105arrow]

162 last week. 158 this morning. :clap2:Not bad. 14 to go but I'm off sick today. I don't think I'll be burning too many calories today. 0 energy and still in bed. Booooo. :(

[CHILL5.0]

^^^You must be pretty short???

[cf105arrow]

^^^You must be pretty short???

I prefer vertically challenged.

Just kidding. I'm 5'6"

[cf105arrow]

My wife wants me to shed some weight and my buddy who hasn't seen me in a while said that I looked heavy. I see it too so no more excuses. More exercise and better eating.

[Laffs]

I've cut out fast food, late night snacking, started getting more active, going to get back into the gym soon. Waiting until end of the month to get on a scale. My weight fluctuates too much and its disheartening and de-motivating to see little to no progress. Going on the adage of "if I feel better thats what I want"

[Intmdtr]

Chime in, how you all doing?

I just got my ass kicked again by the Hot personal trainer.....

And on a good note i am down to weighing in at 238lbs at the end of the day. I really think all i needed was a good kick in the ass to get moving again. Seen the dietician today for the first time and she really didn't have much to offer other then to change up the things i eat to different times in the day to get more benefit out of it.

[Armen]

It's been a shit week for me. Not looking forward to weigh in tomorrow.

[Uncle Buck]

I've been fighting to get back to last weeks number. Too much birthday cake on Sunday.....

[Not4you]

i got off track a few times this week. fighting hard now to just break even for the week. argh.

[Armen]

Well I'm really surprised by this...

338.5 (May 02) - 335.2 (May 09) = 3.3 down this week.

I'm gonna make an assumption that my bout with the flu this last few days is the contributing factor here. Ya for the flu!

[Intmdtr]

Nice job armen

[Mustang4]

I was 183lb again on Monday May 5, hope this weekend to get it down.

[ZR]

I'm hoping to have at least maintained but suspect I've jumped back up.

[69mullet]

Hopped on the scale this morning, and total weight lost so far, 50LBS!!! Feels pretty damn good! 306 start weight, 256 current weight! If I can drop another 25lbs I'll be back at my high school weight!

[Screw]

^^ holly smokes that's awesome , good for you ! You buying new clothes as you go , cuz -50lbs your pants are prolly baggy and hanging like a gangsta , congrats man !

[69mullet]

I had to request new uniforms for work LOL. Generally we only get a certain amount of shirts and pants per year but they are making an exception due to me weight loss. As far as regular clothes go, I do need to do some shopping, but I am a bit of a clothes hoarder. I have lots of old clothes form up to 10 years ago that I now fit into once again. Yesterday i was wearing jeans I couldnt even do up 3 months ago, now they're way too big, belts are my friend now haha

I had Mandarin last Tuesday for a friend's birthday, loved every minute of it - even the pain walking back to the car. but it added 4 lbs and took the rest of the week to get it back off ... good luck tonight!

Thanks. Already off to a bad start. I pack a light healthy lunch which by the time lunch time rolls around half is gone and I'm really hungry. Ran over to pizza pizza for a slice. I'm so WEAK! More miles on the bike this weekend I guess.

[Mustang4]

183.4 lb this week so basically the same. Ribs and fries one night and KFC another didn't help.

[Armen]

335.2 (May 09) - 339.9 (May 16) = 4.7 up... Bad bad.

[Sswitch]

^^ You'd probably be lighter if you weighed yourself first thing in the morning!

[Uncle Buck]

Down 1 which is the 1 I gained last week. Back at 310. Down 20 with 80 to go, this is going to take a while doing it this way but it's not a drag race. More like lapping. Lol

[baddbullitt]

I weighed in this morning and was up 4... I need to kick up the salads more!! I always come in under budget on my calories, but something is not right... Gonna walk even more and eat moar salad!! I've even been drinking less....

I've been the same for the past 2 Fridays. 188 still.

[cf105arrow]

My in-laws did this diet called the Dukan diet where you eat nothing but protein for two weeks. They lost a ton of weight to the point where they looked too thin. You can eat any amount of protein but you have to remove the skin and fat. Not for me but maybe something some meat lovers may want to try.

[Mellow Yellow]

I'm ready to be counted in!

May 1, 2014 - 253 lbs
May 16, 2014 - 245 lbs

Strictly diet, no exercise so far.

[Sswitch]

Just curious about workout routines. Is it better to workout before or after work? I hate getting up early!

[Not4you]

for weight loss, your best bet is early morning (empty stomach) cardio but at a moderate pace to stay a fair way below your BPM threshold. So for me my max is about 140 BPM so if I was to do early morning workouts I'd be targeting 120-125. Any higher and your body will start using muscle for fuel instead of burning fat.

unfortunately my morning routine with kids and getting ready for work wont allow for a morning workout. instead, once the kids are in bed i hit the bowflex for 20 minutes followed by the treadmill for 45 (at about 3.0 mph). not ideal but its what I can fit into my lifestyle at the moment and it is better than nothing. i have been doing this 5-6 nights a week now.

[Screw]

Not4you , that's amazing , you gotta be feeling great , keep soldiering on man . Takes cahunies to stick to a 4-5 day regiment and your putting in an hours worth .:thumbsup:

I can't say the same , been overly exhausted lately , really sluggish, + lbs , tired as fk, I wonder if a vacay might rejuvenate me , cuz everything from work to home stuff has been very challenging . All I wanna do is sleep , maybe gots sleep apnea ?

[Not4you]

it also takes glucosamine at my age!!

[Screw]

All heart guy !

[Kirk]

Stuck at 200lbs right now I've never been below it since I was a kid... always get stuck around here, gotta try and get over it this time for real.

[baddbullitt]

^^ Great job Zazzles!!! Keep up the good work buddy!!!

[Mellow Yellow]

This morning tipped the scales at 242. About an 11 pound loss.

Goal is 215

[Not4you]

257 today so now down 15 ... still a looooooong way to go.

[99chromegt]

Good idea for a thread. Some of us are motivated to mod out rides when we see what others are doing. This might have the same results. I started a diet on Feb. 28 that was designed specifically for rapid weight loss prior to surgery. The good news is I don't require surgery now and as a bonus in 21 days I have lost 21lbs. Starting weight was 228.8 lbs and as of this morning I weigh 207.6lbs. I am 6'1" and my goal is to get down around 198lbs and build back muscle not fat. The next 10lbs to lose will be the hardest for me. Good luck everyone and it should be interesting to read about everyone's experiences with trying to lose weight.
Lol @ myself^^ posted number 3 back in March. Now it's May and I'm 197lbs.... my poor health might have something to do with keeping of the weight and loosing a few more pounds. And I might need surgery just a different procedure. I guess the only good thing about these past few months is the weight loss.

[Not4you]

Track Day is coming up soon!! for those that care (and count), racing burns about 10 calories per minute (so about 150 for a 15 minute lapping session) not including all the fluid loss ...

[Nsty04SVT]

Looking forward to weighing in when home on Tuesday, changed my eating habits big time over the past 2 weeks fruits, veggies and much smaller portions hope it worked!

[ZR]

Distracted by other things here n not putting the effort in I should.
Working on it though.

[SVOMACH1]

Down to about 230 and happy with that. Going for long walks daily and feeling excellent.

[Not4you]

[Slope]

down two sacks of potatoes since this thread started.

Friggin' hard to believe once you put it into perspective eh?

Got a Buddy at work that has almost shed 60lbs. for an upcoming hernia operation at Shouldice. Looks nails.

If you want it, you'll do it.

[01CobraVert]

Need to join the movement
Especially want to emulate the folks losing weight
205 # this am...
Challenges gin & tonic, portions and a sweet tooth
Due to injuries physical fitness running and cycling have been suffering
I am back on the bike building mileage
Wishing all of us health and happiness

[Mustang4]

Was 183.7 last week, 182.5 lbs this morning.
Going to really try this week to hit 180.

[Old Fart]

Jeez...267 this morning...don't know what happened!!

[Not4you]

been holding at 252 for a while now. fuck I want to get sub-250. havent been there since I got sick in China.

[99chromegt]

Holding steady at 199 lbs. I haven't really been watching what I eat or drink lately. Wouldn't mind dropping 9 more pounds but at what cost lol. As long as I'm not gaining I'm good at this weight.

[Not4you]

thats my target weight. I'd like to be walking around below 200. i'll get there.

[99chromegt]

thats my target weight. I'd like to be walking around below 200. i'll get there.

I lost about 30 lbs to get here. Just cutting out sugar on cereal and in pop or juice really helped me. I was drinking a lot of calories. I really only drink water & a few beers a week. Less bread / carbs too

[Not4you]

shit, up a couple over the weekend :( that sucks. But damn, we ate like kings for Fathers Day!

[toofast306]

I crossed a new threshold: 228 lbs! I haven't hit that weight since 2000! Too bad I went back up in the last couple of days to 232! Two steps forward, couple back...

[The Newmare]

down to 195 this morning,woohoo I weighed 190 when I got married in 1980!!

[Sswitch]

Yoga or Alcohol?

I don't drink alcohol, but maybe I should start. lol

[Not4you]

I'd do yoga if I didn't need to listen to all the bullshit from the instructor. If I really wanted all that, I'd just do my stretching in Church.

[baddbullitt]

I'm afraid to weigh in cause I know I'm probably back where I started...lol..
But I did start juicing again.... So I'll give it another go and see where I end up!!
I might have to give up the beer........ Me no likey that, especially in the summer.. :(

[Sswitch]

Summer is a hard time to eat clean. I think a low carb or paleo diet with one cheat day a week is the best approach for a guy. It'll give you a day to look forward to all week, and you can get low carb beer at the LCBO.

[Screw]

He's got all the low carb beers on the market lol

[RedSN]

I've tried the low carb beer

.....guess what the good tasting part of beer is?

[Sswitch]

I'm not a drinker, but I hear good things about Michelob Ultra. 2carbs per can.

Beer is the devils poison. It contains carbs in the form of maltase which raise your insulin level just like sugar does. The alcohol is turned into citrate in your liver which produces fat and that fat is efficiently stored on your belly, thanks to your now raised insulin levels.

Do you like wine? A glass of dry wine and slice of cheese everyday is ok.

[RedSN]

I like wine
rye
rum
...the occasional mojito
baileys and coffee
champagne with fish and chips
beer and burgers
beer with anything

...except no cheese. That is the devils poison.

[hsousa88]

Beer and Fritos.. the only way to live.

I've tried all the low carb beer, but when you can hammer back 24 in a night like I can it doesn't make much difference lol.. :D
I do like Cracked Canoe and Michelob ultra... Couple of good brews...
Stella is da bomb!! ;)

[Not4you]

alcohol slows your metabolism. your body wont give a fuck how many carbs are in the beer. when the metabolism is slowed, guess what ... you're gaining weight.

add into this situation that with beer rarely will you also been eating raw broccoli. So - beer slows your body's ability to burn fat and at the same time you are likely shoving wings or ribs or chips or some other crap down your gullet. good luck with that.

[cf105arrow]

I haven't checked-in in a few days. I don't want to look because I know it's gonna be up. Less activity and more eating ever since I bruised my ribs on the weekend.

[Mustang4]

Doing some vacation this week so likely blew it all to hell. Will know on Monday, lol.

[01CobraVert]

Not doing well
If I don't get on the scale no bad news
On vacation next week, gotta live

[ZR]

Starting to get back on track this week. :)

[Not4you]

fuck me, still holding just above 250. can't break through into the 40s. dammit. and the new awesome timbits are not fuckin helpin at all!!! argh!!!


and now I hit 2000 posts so I gotta get a cookie. that sure wont help.

[Not4you]

Finally coming off of the plateau that I had hit. I kicked up my workouts and that seems to have helped.

I am one good shit away from being the lowest weight I have been since I got real sick in China.

[Sswitch]

China ruined my stomach for life!

[Mustang4]

Weigh scale sabbatical , lol. Check at the end of the week, though I go on vacation to cottage for 2 weeks after that.


Hey Sswitch, like your new avatar.

[baddbullitt]

I really need to get back on track again..... To add insult to injury I went to Harvey's for lunch.
Oh yeah Angus bacon cheeseburger with the Poutine.. It was good but I feel guilty now..lol... Last night 1/2 tub of Ben and Jerry's was pretty guiltful as well.. Back on the wagon Monday!!

[Not4you]

and how about all that beer you picked up in France ...

[jibbijib]

Just to update everyone, I'm still 180 and 6'3"...


Moving along.

Scale not budging and we venture into the Mandarin tonight. Be afraid.

yikes. when a few of us hit Mandarin for Zexhuffer's b-day, I gained 4lbs overnight!!! took me a full week to breakeven!

[The Newmare]

^^^^^how much did you hit?^^^^^^

[Not4you]

^^^^^how much did you hit?^^^^^^

lots. 3 trips to the buffet, one included a full roast beef dinner complete with potatoes and gravy. then a ridiculous ice cream dessert - chocolate cake and a waffle covered in chocolate ice cream covered in oreo crumbs, chocolate chips and hot fudge. had to build it on a plate because the little bowl they give you at the ice cream bar is a fucking joke!!

[baddbullitt]

and how about all that beer you picked up in France ...

Funny you should mention that. I haven't had much of it... A couple a night but nothing more.. Been real good considering I have enough beer to sink a ship!! lol
I must be getting older because I'm slowing down!! haha :P

[Zexhuffer]

yikes. when a few of us hit Mandarin for Zexhuffer's b-day, I gained 4lbs overnight!!! took me a full week to breakeven!

Let's do it again !!!!

[baddbullitt]

4oz of steak and a kale salad for supper tonight... 'Twas good!!

[ZR]

Slipped well north of 230 for a few weeks but back on track at 225lb this am.

[Intmdtr]

Yes I slipped as well, back up 10lbs.....this new job has me all screwed up, I eat on night shift as well as through the day, so that's more calories I need to burn

[ZR]

Bang on what I had gained, feel better I'm at least back to the beginning.

[Not4you]

I havent slipped up but have plateaued for a month or so. Significant change to my workouts has be going in the right direction again tho.

[ZR]

Was good all week and upped my exercise but stayed firm at 225lbs.

[Intmdtr]

I started back on it yesterday with a 2 day cleanse......3 days would be too much with the long weekend and all.

[ZR]

Hardest part is getting started again.

[Intmdtr]

Well exactly, especially with shift work, its hard to find time to get a good workout in, let alone eat right.

[ZR]

Best of luck to all of us.

[Not4you]

Any info on the cleanse?

I've now been bowflexing in the morning and treadmilling in the evening, and eating decently (only one cheat meal all week) ... and I'm UP 2lbs. For fuck sakes!!

[Intmdtr]

Hey Matt, don't get down on yourself. You may have lost enough "mass" that your body is rebuilding with muscle, remembering muscle ways more then ummm "mass". Good on your for staying true.

As for the cleanse, strictly liquid and high fiber at that. Greens and berries. 4 visits to the mens room already today and i have been up since 5.

[Not4you]

do you make your own juice/smoothie?

I was looking at these (available near my work). They have one called Liguid Plumber lol. But at $12 a bottle and recommended daily intake is 6-8 bottles ... eff that!

http://thisbeautifuldayblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Juice-Cleanse-Live.jpg

[Intmdtr]

Yes I just throw it in the bullet at home.

This morning was spinach, raspberry, kiwi, celery and blueberries.....oh and some lemon juice. I don't have a recipe, i just raided the fridge.

it doesn't taste real great.

[Not4you]

If I raided my fridge, my smoothie would be: ketchup, pickled extreme beans, kids applesauce, asian pears, mayonaise and my wifes wine.

[RedSN]

^^^LMAO

[Intmdtr]

you never know....try it out.

[cf105arrow]

4 beers after soccer and a danger can (take tall boy, smash against skull, pass to buddy and repeat. Person that breaks can chugs). Creeping back up on 160. Time to get serious again. Damn summer. I don't mean that. Summer... I love you.

[SVOMACH1]

Anyone still on board with this? I fell off the wagon for a bit and started up last week again cause I felt like shit. Lost a few pounds this past week but still have a long way to go.

[Not4you]

I am but have plateaued lately. eating is still pretty much in check, but the cardio needs to be kicked up a few notches. the walking I was doing in April, where I was nearly dead by the end, is barely getting me to break a sweat now. But if I jog at all to get the heart rate going, my knees and hips and hamstrings hurt for a few days, keeping me away from linking workouts together. I need to find the right balance. adding some weights has helped a bit recently I think.

the 2 holidays I took were killers for my though. combined I gained over 12lbs during these holidays this summer. nearly half of what I had lost since the spring!

[jibbijib]

You definitely want to change it up in the workout routine. My trainer sat down with me last night and let me know about lean muscle work being important in moderation to keep the metabolism going strong. Doing just straight cardio will make you plateau and you will gain weight again . So it's good to change up your routine every couple of months.

Im just doing foundation right now, but will be beginning the build phase in a few weeks. Already up to 185 lbs from 180 and I'm not getting fatter.

[The Newmare]

^^^^^likely 190 now after all those timbits!!

[jibbijib]

Im still at 185 somehow, and 18% body fat.... All of that fat on my gut lol. I'm definitely more naturally energetic while being in motion. Of course when I'm just sitting around I get tired, but as long as I'm on my feet moving around I'm ready for anything

Not using any supplements currently, and sure I drink coffee but when its several hours after my last cup and I still have energy it's a sure sign.

[Not4you]

Don't take it for granted Jib, you won't be a kid forever. I was the same way until I turned 29. Then my metabolism figured it had done its job, said fuck it and left. By 30 I had put on about 40lbs - I could hear myself get bigger when it was real quiet at night. Then the next 10 years ... well, you've seen me. Now I have to work my ass off to drop a few and maintain. If I could go back 15 years, I would have kept up the good habits I had in my 20s and not just assumed that I would burn energy just standing around like I was.

[The Newmare]

I was 188 when I got married in 1980,I was 255 in the early 2000's and today at 55 I am 190!!!Never thought I could get there.

[01CobraVert]

Need to get back on track
Joined a gym 2 weeks ago
Just got back from vacation
Looking to drop 20#s

[Harbinger]

Starting fresh with a proper well balanced eating regiment. Hitting the gym hard starting Sunday morning. Aiming to lose 30 pounds. I'm 165 cm and weigh 173 pounds (79kg).

[Mustang4]

Fell off the wagon and gained about 7lbs, lot of inactivity + donuts and french fries, not a winning combination.

[Not4you]

I dropped 11lb in September. Joined DietBetter.com at the beginning of the month with a $30 bet. Basically you bet that you can lost 4% of your body weight in 4 weeks. Pay in at $30 and take a split of the pot at the end. Those who drop out or don't make weight in the end get zilch, anyone who hits the mark takes some $$$. My 4% was 10lbs and I ended up losing 11. there was 2000+ people in for the round I joined with a pot of over $64,000. My cut was $45, so I made $15 profit.

I'm using that as credits now toward one starting up on October 7th. Buy in is $25 per month for 6 months (or $125 if you ante the total in advance). Goal is to lose 10% in the 6 months. So I need to be down 25lbs by the first week of April or else some peeps are taking my cash. pot at the moment for this one is $42,000 with a few days before it starts. PM me if you think you are interested and I'll let you know how to join the same one that i am in. There are a lot starting up every day, or you can create your own, but if you want in the same one as me, PM me.

Or, I could start up a private TMC bet ... takers? 4% in 4 weeks??


they say money is a motivator, I think they are right. whoever they are.

[FoxRod]

Gained about 15lbs, had to stop working out (jogging,weights) due to a back injury from a car accident. Couple months of physio/massages(no not the good kind hehe) I'm starting up my exercise routine again, thinking of joining a Crossfit cult, hoping my back is okay for it...

[Not4you]

From everyone I have talked to crossfit = injury at most clubs. Take it slow if you are coming off a bad back.

[jibbijib]

Don't take it for granted Jib, you won't be a kid forever. I was the same way until I turned 29. Then my metabolism figured it had done its job, said fuck it and left.

Yep, I'm fully aware how close I am to that golden age. My gut staying despite my working out and food intake is an indication that my metabolism isn't as speedy as it used to be.

I'm looking to lose the gut, gain some size in muscle and be a lot more naturally energetic and flexible. The only killer is the sitting in the truck waiting for calls. Otherwise I do alright.

[speedfreak]

My diet went out the window months ago but i have still lost weight im now down to 235-238ish pounds
