I'm lurking still. :~ Was doing good all week then had a bad weekend so I'm stepping up my game. We have 5 weeks left and I don't want to mess up now.

[NitrogenWidget]

Only had 30 mins this morning so I just increased the incline on the treadmill & upped a the speed a little.
sweating like crazy when I was done.

Tonight lower body & more treadmill.

[blacksilo]

Well, still trying to sleep at night.. getting closer with my macs..

woke up at 161.0 this morning after some DELICIOUS turkey chili last night

[Cindaboo1]

Back on the grind this week, totally ate like ish this weekend, me and the kiddos baked good ol' Christmas goodies and I definitely indulged, and therefore the scale has been my enemy as well. =/ Workouts have been pretty good, gonna up my cardio a little bit more during the week though. Hope everyone has a great week!!!! Stay focused!

[jgrieser]

Have a great week all.

4 weeks left and and I am fighting hard to drop one freaking pound before Christmas gets here! Then it is new goal time. I am thinking I want bigger arms next

[mbogier]

So i have been doing zumba and yoga, and then yesterday i did a spin class and the sauna.. I found out yoga is extremely painful for me and my wrist.. This week I am going to find how much Target wants to settle with me and hopefully its a legit amount.. I had a hard time doing the downward dog or anything that bent my wrist like that... I hope it gets better soon.. The doc said I just have a torn tendon now... time i guess? However spin and zumba is perfect for cardio and my wrist.. no jarring or whipping it... I am readjusting my caloric intake in two from today, i now know what my problem is it is my calories by far.. Once i started to lack on keeping track of the calories i started to gainnnn!!!! well any way this is a lesson learned.. Time to get on track.. also a sauna pic from yesterday.

you can do this!!! Come on!!! Let's go!!!

[mbogier]

I can't seem to get below 187 lbs! So it is time to make some changes. I'm going to clean up the diet and increase cardio. Did HIIT today and planned for tomorrow also!

Sometime we have to take an assessment and realized that what worked once may no longer be as effective as it once was. Make some changes and watch some changes take place.


The countdown has begun!!! LET'S GO!!!

[ellybelle]

Its been a stressful 48hrs, i got back from vaca last night, I was looking forward to getting back to my super scheduled life, but as we pulled off the tollway my daughter decided to start throwing up (shes better now though). My husband who woke up feeling really nauseous on our travel day now is either suffering from either Montezuma's revenge or Man flu, which is basically the same thing anyways. We got home in one piece to relieve my house sitter, only to discover my dog spent the week pooping all around the basement. Seven loads of laundry, house scrubbed and vacuumed, kids bathed, everything unpacked and put away. woke up this morning feeling slightly nauseous myself so i hit the gym after doing the school run, and sweated out the possibility of getting sick, 3miles on the treadmill followed by squats, bench press, stiff leg deadlifts, pushups, yoga stretches. Feeling a little exhausted but feeling good

Perhaps we can get a volume discount, I too ordered larger arms. If I could just get to 16" they would not look so much like twigs.

[NitrogenWidget]

Ok, 6'6" yeah you can use some bigger arms.

I'm 5'8" and my 14 3/4" arms are looking like I lift on my smaller stature.
If I managed 16" arms my shirts would probably cut off the circulation around the sleeves.

hmmm, I can think of worse problems. LOL!

[PimpedHerOut]

my neck is really killing me after a shoulder workout yesterday. I did btn shoulder presses and i felt a slight discomfort but the pain didnt come until after my workout was done. hope its nothing too serious cos my strength was just starting to increase nicely

[Skullster]

Haha! Yeah a volume discount that would be great. I had 16 inch fatceps before I decided to lose 80 pounds! LOL.

Six foot here and my arms are at 14.5 inches. I went to Kohls this weekend and not only was I able to comfortably fit into size 32 cargo shorts I bought a size Medium dry-fit shirt! Medium? I was in shock. All my XL's now fit me like they were tailored by Omar the Tent Maker. Anyway, if I could add just one inch to my arms they would fill the sleeves on the medium shirt. Time to grow some guns

[cyanotikat]

FFF yeah. Feeling amazing. New DL PR!! 205x1 from a 4" deficit!!! Prior pr was 185x2... Hnnnggggggg. Sorry lol, you all know what this feels like ; I'm on cloud 9~!

[TMcDermid]

Strike off Monday for the week and hopefully a hard workout. I cranked out my back but never got in the cardio I wanted. Weather was getting a bit shaky so I figured I better hit the road with the 1.5 hour commute and all!

[live4gs]

Bummer I thought I posted for the week, post # 1816. On Dec. 1, Thought Saturday was the start of a new week. If not I will not get DQ’d.
It was a busy stress & fun week. First our car took a dump. (hope the extended warranty was worth the purchase) Then we had to go out of town for family parties. One nephew graduated Peace Officer Academy. The other nephew turned 4 years old.
Bad but fun week now back to the diet and get back on track again…

[EjnarKolinkar]

hmmm, I can think of worse problems. LOL!

Baby Gap-ing a XL is the plan, just give me 4-5 years.

Dat Feel.



My puny leg workout got me walking like polio already. Knee feeling pretty good though. Squats back to 175x3, hopefully I get 175x5 next week. Sucks being weak, but I am drinking milk.

My 30's are getting closer to fitting.
I'm hoping by end of this comp (my 41sts birthday) i'll easily be in them.

I literally only wore them for the few weeks between last yrs cut & bulk. so sad.
This yr i'm not stopping until i'm close to 10% & don't have to worry about growing out of them if I gain a few lbs of fat on the slow bulk.

My week has been a bit rough. Under the weather, super busy with work (arggg commuting!!) and other life stuff going on that I can't control... But hoping to get squat day in!!

Motivation levels are sky high... only 4 weeks left but I can't let christmas and new years celebrations derail my progress tho. Ive decided that I will allow myself to enjoy some extra food with family but no drinking for me Will try not to miss too many workouts either.

[akira6713]

I know i said no more progress pics but im so excited about reaching single digit bf levels for the first time ever I just have to share with my fellow obf'ers! Here is a current pic at about 8.5% bf. Hope to be at 6% by the end of the competition.

Pushing really hard to win, but regardless of what happens I feel proud to have accomplished single digits after being obese in my past. My personal best!



Excuse the panties in the backround. I like to crossdress sometimes. Lol
