Am going out of town this morning and will be gone for the next 3 weeks. Will get back just in time to close out the contest. Should be able to get 2 workouts a day now, and I can actually concentrate on doing them too

Good Luck everyone... I hope to see everyone else's pics on here before it's too late.

Sky22 · 03-08-2009, 01:53 PM

trying to upload pictures to my bodyspace but errors keep coming up. Arg...i hope they fix it soon. I have some small changes but nothing too dramatic. Hope everyone is still keeping up with their exercise and diet.

had my pizza cheat meal yesterday and hitting the gym hard tonight!

Throwdown515 · 03-11-2009, 07:28 AM

borrowed cardio x from the p90x program from a friend and did it for my cardio last night. Wow, thats no joke, I was sweating my ass off. I think I am going to implement it into my cardio routines to switch it up.

Tonight I got Chest and Tri's at the gym to look forward too and I will probably do 30 minutes of the elliptical afterwards. How is everyone holding up here?

Throwdown515 · 03-12-2009, 03:26 PM

Had a great chest and tri workout last night. I moved down another notch on my belt which was a nice surprise. Im really trying to stay off the scale is as it can be unmotivating.

I have Legs/Shoulders tonight and Im gonna try to get in some cardio before. Cardio is really hard to do after you have a good leg workout.

j. ViLLA · 03-12-2009, 05:11 PM

on a bright note. I weighed in at 179. So i lost weight w/o working out. lol. Still got my muscles too. on a dark note...i'm OFFICIALLY out....turns out i gotta get surgery on my knee again in a few weeks. O well, its all in good for the future.

good luck to everyone still in it!

Sky22 · 03-12-2009, 08:14 PM

Sorry to hear that J. Wish you a fast recovery!

On my side i'm sitting at 241.5-242lbs. Been here for a week now. Started hitting the gym again doing cardio and weights after a week or so off and hoping to crush the 240's soon.

Throwdown515 · 03-14-2009, 09:50 AM

had my cheat meal last night, a few beers with the guys and a slice of pizza. I dont feel guilty at all because I had an awesome cardio session.

Sky22 · 03-14-2009, 11:28 AM

I broke the 240's this morning. Jumped on twice to make sure. Read as 239.9lbs!! I'm excited. Was weighing everyday until i broke 240 and now will wait a week before i jump on the scale again. Hoping to get down to 238lbs by the end of this contest so i can say i lost at least 20lbs.

Throwdown515 · 03-14-2009, 06:12 PM

Nice Sky! 235 or bust by April 1st. You can do it!

Sean_Jmu · 03-16-2009, 09:24 AM

I hit my 200lb goal on Friday, had a bad weekend though because Iv been out all weekend, Iv got 1 week of my current diet left then going into carb cycling so hopefully I can lose another pound or 2 by April

Throwdown515 · 03-18-2009, 05:45 PM

Sky22 · 03-18-2009, 05:51 PM

I'm here...still truckin along.

nymac · 03-20-2009, 03:30 PM

How many of us are left?

Throwdown515 · 03-22-2009, 08:11 PM

haha not too many

USA79S · 03-23-2009, 07:29 AM

Hi guys,

Made it back to the USA and have been trying to relax and visit people without overeating. I have managed to walk the dogs and run in my neighborhood, but no gym time yet. I need to get into the gym though for weight training, before it starts going away.

Closing in on the final 7 days... Lets do this!

Sky22 · 03-24-2009, 02:46 PM

I'm down to 237lbs. Lost 21lbs since January 1st. I'm feeling great! Still going for 235lbs for the 1st.

I'm LOVING keto. Great thing is i've learned how to make cookies and chocolate cake that have very little carbs. With this diet i haven't had trouble at all sticking with it unlike when i would want to cheat on a 40/40/20 diet. Hurry! Waiting for the first to have a carb up day so i can take pictures and everything before. Then I will be getting pizza. Soooo excited.

How's everyone else doing? One more week!! Keep working at it!!

Sean_Jmu · 03-27-2009, 12:39 PM

got down to 198 so surpassed my target

looking forward to putting some muscle on again now, think 3 months is too long a cut, just going to lean bulk and then cut using keto for 5/6 weeks next time

nymac · 03-28-2009, 08:53 AM

Just back from 3 weeks of working on certifications for work.

Throwdown515 · 03-29-2009, 04:56 PM

last push, 3 more days. Not as successful as I would have liked to be, but I dropped about 15 solid pounds of fat so I am happy about that.

Sean_Jmu · 03-31-2009, 12:58 PM

Iv just gone to sort my photos out now and realised Id completely dropped a bollock, Iv deleted the photos from the 1st Jan and unfortunately only have photos from 3 weeks before and as you can imagine, I put on a good few pounds over x-mas and didnt train once

here I am around 22lb down anyway, first 4 pics are around 2nd week of Dec and the last 5 are from Saturday

a bf% estimate would be great ta

Throwdown515 · 03-31-2009, 08:43 PM

Here are my results from the competition. Not as much weight as I'd like to lose but I have another 3 months to really reach my goal. Any comments or critiques welcomed!

Jan 1: 223 lbs

March 31: 210 lbs

Thank you! You too! Well, you ready to start another 3 months?

The next 2 1/2 months is where i'm really going all out for. I'll be graduating and i haven't seen my parents all year so i'm hoping to surprise them with my weight loss and look good walking to get my degree. I haven't told them i've lost weight or trying so it should be interesting.
