Fat azz to lean thread.

[FoxRod]

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

Seems to be the consensus, gotta slowly ease into it. thanks...

[Gabe]

I am starting crossfit in the next week or two (depending on the weather as cycling season winds down). I did a few classes a couple weeks ago to get my feet wet and enjoyed it immensely, but can definately see how injuries can occur to those trying to lose weight and get back in shape. With a bad/ healing back, you should be very careful

[Screw]

K Matt set it up , I'm wearing a big tire bulging on the rim and its gotta go .lmk the details lol

20 min workout day 1 warm up 208.5lbs , wife's making pasta how is this gonna work :shrug:
Looking at her things to do list : pizza,pasta,chili,fish,peas .... ya gotta know I have interest in the first 3 ;)

ok lads, lets do this!

Quit drinking coke and soft drinks for 2 weeks already and going strong. Still gotta deal with random cravings by food association (so used to having a nice cola with a steak, burger or pizza). How is everyone else doing? Any food eating habits any of you just kicked?

Coke is killer for me. Starting fresh in the new year. There are too many temptations right now. Going to stop drinking pop, eat better (and less) and workout everyday. I should hit my goal by Spring.

If someone can motivate me to get back to 205 again, I could be a stone cold killer again

[Cancermasher]

That's the number I want to hit again also or even dip below it. Last time I weighed myself a week or so ago I was at 223.5. Starting up again after Christmas and hopefully stick to it this year. Picked up a pretty much mint Bowflex Exceed Plus today to add to my power block dumbells.

Thats the spirit! Also I find it easier to stop one habit at a time. Start with going child turkey with cola and substitute it with water. Once you feel confident enough, make a slow but dramatic change to your eating habits. I find it to stressful to stop cola then reduce food consumption.

[Harbinger]

Cold turkey ** my android autofill has failed me

[Harbinger]

I'm going to regularily post here from now on to help some of you stay motivated. I'm comparing this achievement to the hard laborous work I put into getting my mustang. If you have a goal and you want something, sacrifices have to be made.

I want to look lean again and in order to do that I have to cut back on sugary stuff and of course, overeating. Its important to go easy on it as it is very easy to say "fuck it" and indulge on food.

Nothing tastes better than looking thinner!!!

[Harbinger]

Update: im at the gym focusing on cardio then I'm switching to weights Friday. Feels good to start new years resolution early.

[ZR]

Starting back in Monday after New Years.................can't wait.

Good luck ^^

looks like I'll have to do the same after new years.... I over indulged on food but never drank an ounce of regular coke or pop for over a month. Food altogether is another story.... This will be the biggest struggle for me. Good luck ZR.

[Intmdtr]

I think we need to set a goal, 1 dollar per pound lost donated to a charity

[Ray721]

Gonna give this an honest attempt with the new year. It's sad to think I could almost loose enough weight to net me a tenth in the quarter. If the old saying of 100lbs = a 10th that is lol.

Today is the day. Official start weight is 161 lbs. don't laugh I have a small frame. The goal is 140 to 145 range. Starting this process while sick as a dog (fever, cough congestion). I think I already hacked up and lost 5 lbs since this morning. Yay!

if I ever get my rec room in order I'll likely start them. Bought a bow flex and need to hang my heavy bag in the garage. I'd rather hammer out some sweat on it.

Day 1 is going great.

[ZR]

I know the first week or three are the easiest but I'm encouraged by dropping just a hair under 5lbs this week.
How did everyone else make out?

[Intmdtr]

Haven't been to the can yet. Another hour or so I should have my weekly total....my guess is just a pound or two. Blew my back out on Monday so it's been a lazy week

[ZR]

Hope you feel better soon.
My new outlook, so long as I don't gain over a weigh in cycle, gonna consider that a win and look forward to the week it drops at least a little. Not as prone to being discouraged that way.
Just had blood work done a day ago. Stats should be ok this go round but know I'll be in for an argument with my doctor next month when INR comes back fubar'd.

[Intmdtr]

Keep on keeping on

[Not4you]

so far so good for me.

[Harbinger]

Feel better! hope your back recovers asap.

So far:
1) 1 month and two weeks cola free.
2) have been working out more Consistently then ever. Downside is I just came down with a shitty cold so I had to back down from the gym for two days so far. I'm feeling a bit better today so I will head over to the gym tonight.
3) starting a revised diet Monday morning after I plan everything out during the weekend.

[ZR]

Hanging tough here.

[Uncle Buck]

I know the first week or three are the easiest but I'm encouraged by dropping just a hair under 5lbs this week.

That's encouraging! Keep doing what you're doing.

I'm only down 2 but making smaller changes this time in hope they become life long good habits.

Totally different approach here as well. Long term stick is the key.
Let's get er done.

How's everyone doing so far?

[onDjuice]

Just got a dip and chin up tower.. Started 2 days ago looking to put on 10 pounds or more.

[cf105arrow]

I believe that I am past the caffeine withdrawal headaches (Thankfully). I cheated a little this weekend and a coke with dinner on date night this Saturday. I haven't weighed in yet but I'm sure I am down a few. I'll check tonight.

Excellent. Try not to cheat if you can because it resets the withdrawal. If you have a huge craving try having a diet cola.

[Harbinger]

Today is the first day of my mostly zero carb diet aside from very small amounts. So far I'm getting intense cravings for rice and noodles. I'm basically starving. Didnt plan out my work meals well enough. Thankfully I have some a strong resolve after fighting so many inner demons. I'm making it my absolute goal in life to look thinner like my life depended on it. Hope everyone else is winning the fight.

[Not4you]

soup for lunch today and been drinking Club Soda the past few weeks instead of pop. Adding some Mio to it, just to keep some flavour.

[ZR]

diet pop withdrawls can be even worse. Looked like a junky with the shakes when I cut out my 5-6+ cans of Diet Dr Pepper per day habit.

[The Newmare]

first was the weight loss....now 4 weeks of not smoking cigars,WTF am I doing!!!!!!

Very cool Steve, toss dem bitches to the curb.

Tough one to break. I'm almost smoke free. Done with butts, now to bring the 1 cigar a week to special occasions only

[Intmdtr]

back is feeling better, 1 more week of recoup then i will start to log about 50km's a week on the treadmill, then slowly bump it up till i reach my goal of 100km's a week.

be 5km in the morning and 5 at night. whether its walk or run, just gotta get'er done.

[cf105arrow]

158.8 lbs midday weigh in. Looks like a 2 pound loss by just cutting out pop. Now that I'm not sick I'll kick in some work outs. Free weights tonight an taekwon do tomorrow.

[Harbinger]

Good stuff everyone! Glad you are all on track 😂

Want to but can't. Blood work from a week ago came back with a problem, need to wait until next months check to see if it levels back off and I can increase activity again. Controlling food intake is the best I've got right now but not gonna get discouraged regardless.

How's everyone's diet going? I went all out on the weekend and wasn't proud of it. Cola addiction is still in check (haven't had a pop in over 2 months and counting). Diet is going well and sticking to it since Monday. Getting lots of greens in my food and getting some tofu in there.

Alright its about time I join you guys here, I'm 27 have no excuses, being off work I've been depressed and am getting no physical activity and its showing.
Ive started trying to get my meals in order the first step is breakfast smoothies.
Ive had one daily for about a week now and love them. Water vegan protein powder (2serving of veggies and 20g) and whatever fruits I'm feeling normally a mixture of apple, banana and mixed berries.
Next stop is to kill my cola addition, I know its shit but it tastes so good.

Welcome! If I can stop cola anyone can loll It was difficult but it may be easier for you since you are relatively free. If you can, hitting the gym will help since you are consuming protein powder every morning so it's good to utilize it. Stay strong!

Lost 5.5 pounds. Lady at work told me I look thinner. Things are looking good :).

Only downside is I've been lazy as fuck and haven't been to the gym for 1 and a half weeks. I'm aiming to get back Monday with a solid program from bodybuilding.Com.

[ZR]

Scale not showing how good you've been? Take a look here, puts a totally different perspective on loosing wt and feeling better.

http://artemisfitnessvt.com/dont-trust-the-scale/

[ZR]

More good reading.

You just started a weight loss routine, your first two weeks you’ve dropped 10 – 15 pounds and your doing awesome! And all of a sudden your in your third week the scale doesn’t seem to budge. You still feel great and clothes are fitting better, but your weight isn’t going down. What the heck is going on? http://joefitness.com/wp-content/uploads/digital_bathroom.jpg (http://joefitness.com/wp-content/uploads/digital_bathroom.jpg)

The culprit: The scale.

Like I mentioned in my 25 fat loss tips post (http://joefitness.areavoices.com/2012/03/30/25-fat-loss-tips/), the problem with the scale is it’s inability to tell you the whole story of your weight loss. When you step on the scale it tells you every going on as a whole. It doesn’t tell you body fat changes, what you ate, the amount of water in your body, swollen muscles, and a number of other things that effect your weight.

Using the scale to measure your progress is okay, but don’t just depend on one measurement. Here are a few better ways to measure your progress:

Performance Goals
Instead on focusing on the fat loss result, focus on what produces the result. Make it your goal that you will go to the gym 3 days a week or eat like a diet rockstar for 6 days in a row. Maybe it’s to bike around the city limits or to finish your first 5k! Whatever it is, track it, improve it and you will see results!

Dress Size / Waist Size
One goal of weight loss is to look better right? Well why not measure your progress with clothing! My favorite clothes to use is jeans. They tend to be unforgiving and you can definitly tell when they are fitting looser! Whether it’s a dress or a pair of jeans, pick some clothing and track your progress weekly.

Pictures
Before and after pictures can be an amazing tool when it comes to tracking your progress. Once a week take a picture of your progress and watch your body transform!

It’s not all about the number on the scale. Just remember, a scale is just one measurement that tells you the whole story at once. Pick a few ways to track your progress and watch your success!

[Harbinger]

as well got some vitamins and other stuff that is supposed to be good for you.... BLAH

[ZR]

We get drilled to death on the TV etc that eating healthy n loosing wt is all about the scale. As such, we are judging the win / loose column on it vs what really matters, how you feel and how you look. In my own case, see's me get discouraged n I drift back to the same old same old. Scale says I'm doing ok but clothes n how I feel say I'm definately on the right track.

At a maintanance stage as far as lbs go but pants are a little more roomy as of late which is good. I never bother to take measurements, just go by feel. Things are good right now! :highfive:

Good to hear Rick. Keep it up.

I still check the scale but I'm not letting it sway me. I have to admit it makes me feel better seeing that weight drop on the scale. Been off the good eating habits a bit but hitting the gym pretty well. I could do better, as always. Work really stressed me out so it didn't help to keep me steady. I have pants falling off me now though: Jeans that were a perfect fit are needing a belt. underwear-mooned a few poor coworkers at the warehouse lol. Embarrassingly good feel!

[Not4you]

yup scale doesnt tell the full story. muscle weighs more than fat. and building muscle burns fat. so if you are doing it right, there will come a time when fat loss does not equal weight loss, because you are building muscle mass.

[Zexhuffer]

Fat... Muscle... Who cares I'd trade all my food for a fucking cigarette right now

I slipped pretty bad but I wont blame myself. Hoping to get back into the game starting next week Monday. Might be going to cuba sometime in the next few months so I really want to lose some weight asap (and keep it off).

[ZR]

So, everyone back on track.
Don't get discouraged if you slipped for a period of time and put a few pounds back on. Learn from what triggered the slip and move forward, does get easier with time.
Let's go, spring is almost here. No better way to speed up dat ride then to take a few pounds outta the drivers seat.

According to the bipolar scale: I lost around 1.2 lb in 3 days ish. Been controlling portions. Trying to eat 1500 calories per day or less than 2000 if I slip up.

Mixing it up with a comeback to the gym (yesterday). Nothing tastes better than being slim.

[CHILL5.0]

The more portions the better. You just need to control portion size. When trying to loose fat, cut portion size but eat 5-7 times daily. Drink lot's of water especially before eating. This tricks your body into thinking it's more full. And exercise plays a big roll. Your body needs to build muscle to burn fat.

This is a lifestyle change peeps, not a diet change. If you don't want to put in the work, you won't get the results.

[FoxRod]

I lost weight (60lbs 2yrs ago), sadly about 30lbs found me again...:crying: need to get back into running, difficult with a bad back from an MVA, props to those who are maintaining their routines...

The sad part is that I know all of this. My biggest problem is that I loooooveee food and probably enjoy it more than the average joe lol. Food makes me as happy as driving my mustang (which is an 11 out of 10 on the happiness scale).

[CHILL5.0]

I love food too. 5 years ago I weighed in around 165lbs @ 5'11". Thought that was pretty normal, but I look back thinking that was probably a little on the slim side. I got into hitting the gym and trying to put on muscle. I learned the only way to gain size is to eat like a beast. I had to force myself to eat sometimes because I knew that's what I had to do. Now my body knows how much I eat and I don't have to force myself, I'm just hungry all of the time now. Last summer I weighed in at 230lbs. Most of which is muscle. I'm very happy with my progress. Now I'm around 220-225lbs. But if I just sat around and ate the way I do I'd probably be 300lbs and obese. I train pretty hard, lot's of heavy lifting. I know my goals and I know that they are not achievable by sitting on the couch.

[Not4you]

Awesome man! I would probably be obese as well but I am luck enough to have a decent metabolism and due to my full time job being somewhat laborous + gym.

Which gym do you go to?

[CHILL5.0]

I don't go to a gym unless I'm out of town. I train at my buddy's house with him. He's got pretty much everything we need in his basement and his garage is full of additional strength equipment. Some of which we've built ourselves.

These videos are all a year or more old. I don't have any recent videos on youtube as of yet and I haven't been getting much video of training lately. I can try to get a few more up.

And that atlas stone over bar that Matt posted is a 340lb stone over a 48" bar I believe.

[CHILL5.0]

Thanks guys, a lot of hard work and eating to get to where I am. Also, earlier today I kinda beat my circus dumbbell PR. I got 140lbs with my left and my right. Unlike the above video of failing with my right. Felt good too, I see a 160lb dumbbell happening this year for sure.

Now, let's keep you guys on track with your goals. You're welcome to ask me any questions if you have any, I will try to answer to the best of my ability. In the meantime, here is a great inspirational video...

Couple of PR's set in the last couple of days. Played around with the circus dumbbell and I managed 140lbs with each hand. Felt real good and I foresee a 160lb dbell this year. Did some atlas stones last night, set a new PR with a 350lb stone over 44" bar. Should be a good year for training. I'm still siting around the 220lb mark for bodyweight.

[Harbinger]

Just did a weigh in today. Looks like I lost 11 pounds so far. Everyday I'm losing bit by bit. Pull ups are easier to do and left knee isn't hurting as much.

Make sure its lactose free if you have any intolerances as that might cause bloating and digestive issues. Make sure you drink plenty of water in conjunction.

[CHILL5.0]

You can always try soy protein as an alternative. And it is always important to select protein with the least amount of crap in them. When selecting flavours, vanilla or chocolate are the best choices unless you can get a flavourless one.

The best alternative is to not use protein supplements and eat real food when you can.

[Ray721]

Well, bow flex just arrived today. I now have a bowflex, treadmill and heavy bag. There's no more excuses. Time to stop being fat. Gonna hit up Herc's tomorrow for some supplements and information.

Currently sitting at a depressing flabby 260lbs. The heaviest I've ever been.

Look forward to building the new me tomorrow. Right after I assemble the bowflex lol

Haven't posted on this thread for a while.

Congratulations to all who are working toward their goals.

My progress:

January 2015 - 247 lbs

April 15, 2015 - 216 lbs.

Still about 10 or 15 to go.

Accomplished through a complete change in diet. I have dumped breads, pastas and all starches. Replaced wheat flour with almond flour for baking. Lots of veggies and meats (I'm no vegetarian).

Additionally, I had an upper respiratory infection that knock me out, but (not in the best manner) I lost 12 lbs in four days.

I like the brand Omega Nutrition. This product mixes well with almost anything. I put it in smoothies, oatmeal, yogurt, stir-frys, baked goods, sauces, ect. There isn't much taste to it besides a slight nuttiness. It's good stuff and priced very well.

Organic Garage in Oakville sells it.

only 9.5g?? seems low. I use Promasil or Hexapro, they are 22g and 25g respectively. or is this intended to be a food additive rather than a 'shake'.

[Gabe]

Note the portion size, that is only for a 15g portion. The mix I take is 41g scoop equates to 22g of protein (more or less 2:1), where this is 5:3 or 24.6g per 41g scoop

[Not4you]

ah, Ok. yeah I missed that part.

[Sswitch]

I only need 88g of protein a day. I get most of it in food form. The pumpkin protein helps me out when I'm too busy and need to grab something fast.

Back on the bus. Starting at 160 and looking for mid 140's. June 30th is the target (wife's birthday). A decent gift I think.

[ZR]

^ Nice.

[Harbinger]

Update: started doing the beep test with a buddy at work. We set up 20 meter line in the warehouse. So far getting better. Also started drinking lemon water (threw a lemon in a sports bottle with water). Helps in weight loss

[cf105arrow]

Funny that you mention the lemons. My wife started drinking that recently. She cuts the lemons up and then adds boiling water. After cooling it tastes pretty good and is not that sour at all.

Weather has finally changed, out and walking approx 2 miles per day.

Cranked another two miles on last night.
Feelin goooooooooooooooood about it but freakin leg hates me. :)

[Intmdtr]

Hey Rick, anything stopping you from adding glucosamine To your diet? Great for joints etc....

With all the rucksack marches and miles I have logged on my feet, I always felt it necessary to add glucosamine into my daily vitamins. Not only helps with joints, but good for muscles too.

[ZR]

Appreciate the suggestion. Swelling from the knee down is a clot in my right leg, doc is hesitant to operate as they have no idea what caused it and feel it may cause a larger issue. Meds I'm on (rat poison) can't make big changes in my diet etc without it going off kilter so it comes down to small changes and monitor only. Foot swells so much, keep wrecking my shoes. :)

[Intmdtr]

Well that sucks

[Harbinger]

Hope your leg gets better rick :(
I really fell hard off my cola/ diet and have been a giant glutton over the past 3 weeks. Took off Tuesday next week so I can have a 4 day weekend. Gonna try and go super clean starting tomorrow for the next 4 days.

I'm doing ok, clot happened at the same time as it was originally thought I'd had multiple mini strokes. Good news was, no stroke or heart attack but yes a significant clot in my rt leg. Lots of peeps with way bigger issues vs that.

Im doing great but suffering.

I just started a low carb diet. I have 3 Co workers that placed a bet at 50 each that I wouldn't lose 30 pounds in two months. My brother in law is betting me 200. Hellava incentive to do it! Just had only 700 calories for the day. Ate bok Choy and salsa salad, 200 grams of chicken breast , an orange and a small yogurt. Also worked out a bit in my room. Now I'm gonna go free running /walking around my neighbourhood

[ZR]

If said workout involved a porn site, don't count ya know.

[CHILL5.0]

700 calories... One meal for me :encouragement: Have cut back a little on training, just means I hurt more after each session now. Still strong though. Atlas stone record of the year so far for me, #350 stone over 50" bar. #320 stone over 50" bar for 3 reps. Hit a #300 bench press for a single. Hit a #160 circus dumbbell with each hand. #245 log overhead press. #445 squat for a single. Not bad... Progress has been slow to say the least but I also weigh 10lbs less than this time last year and I'm not eating as much. Wife likes it though lol. Did some grip strength training last night after hitting curls for girls. We did farmer handle holds with 2" handles. Then we timed ourselves. #200 per hand held for 1:01 with 2" handles. Ya my hands hurt after that. Little tender today.

Hope everyone is staying on track or at least not going off track too far. Keep it up, it's worth the lifestyle change. Your body will thank you down the road.

So from my understanding losing weight not only requires exercise but more so a change in lifestyle and eating habits. I spent a month watching my calories using the My Fitness App on my phone...... I did really well, I did struggle with what foods to eat.... and after a month started slacking with recording my daily intake of foods. I'll admit it was good, I was able to discourage myself from over eating, late night snacking and junk food all together. Looks like I'll need to start again. Physical activity is another task all together!! One at a time.....

That's good! I used my fitness pal (I still use it a bit) but I can't follow through most of the time. So far I've been weighing my food portions, mind you, I'm on a very intense diet and it's not for everyone.

I say 80 percent of losing weight is lifestyle change in the form of eating habits.
There is no way around it unless you work out rigorously and burn thousands of calories per workout. Most of us don't have time to work out at such an intense level nor the energy especially after work.

I recommend slowly limiting portion size and fighting yourself from over eating bad foods. Don't eat out more than once a week. Try to go for a brisk walk for 25min a day. Walk before you run :)

Just 700 calories for the day?

No, 700 calories per meal. sometimes more, sometimes less. 4-6 meals a day = not enough calories for this guy. :crying:

Bought a bike today so I can ride it to work. Work is close by so I'd save a reasonable amount.
