Official Apr 1 - Jul 1 Weight Loss Thread/Comp

[cornwallus]

Sure. I don't know how to contact a MOD though? I've been meaning to edit my original post. I'd definitely want to add/remove some things on there.




Thanks bro. I'm trying to make it look nice and tight. Wish there was a prize we could give to the winners...would definitely make it more interesting.

Anyhoo, awaiting 19 more people to send in their info to have a confirmed running tally.

Year's ago on this very forum there was contest, I came 2nd, and there were meant to be considerable supplement prizes, it didn't eventuate, so perhaps I'm a little jaded about prizes but I think they make things difficult, well at least large ones.

Lost 130lbs today, because my (now ex) girlfriend and I just ended things. Do I win something for the most weight lost in a day? Anyways, my weight didn't change this week (still at 202), but I did hit a PR in squats this week and I'm still dialing my macros in for IF/LG, so I'm hoping to see some progress in fat loss soon.

I hope you all had a great weekend and holiday (if you celebrate it)!

Well, GL to everyone for this next week . Decided I'm going to do the Lee Labrada 12 week lean body program on top of 1800 calories a day from now on.

I guess all entries are in! We have separate leaders in each division.

Dang, did 20 people just not submit or did they all break even? Kinda lame for them to just not submit for a week, lol.

Congrats to Photostic and WannabeBetter for being the leaders in LB and % (respectively), and congrats to everyone on their weight loss!

Unfortunately, it looks like a bunch of people did not submit their weight, while two (myself included) did not have a change in weight. Speaking of which, my lack of change in weight this last week has given me the idea to look into Hydrostatic, caliper, or Bod Pod testing, so I can keep track of my body fat percentage as well as body weight over the course of the competition. Hopefully it'll give me a better understanding of what's going on, because having the scale not change is rather frustrating!

Edit: I just looked into it, and the university I go to has a lab that does body composition testing for $50, which includes skin fold measurements, pulmonary function testing and hydrostatic weighing!

Thanks man, currently sitting at 201.6lbs today. Doing a PSMF so we'll see if I can pull ahead and take both. Being competitive sure helps you stick to a diet.

Im working on getting the link into the first post of this thread. Should make things easier on everyone.

You are correct. They did not submit numbers. Look at it this way..a smaller group means better relationships and stronger competition.

I think ill drop everyone that doesnt submit a weight thiss week. Will make the spreadsheett look neater and Im all about neatness

[DevouringCRONOS]

Started the week off right with cajan spiced Alaskan King Crab legs for yesterday's lunch/dinner. Good god, I was in heaven!

[Dcdc83]

Hope everyone had a good weekend. I'm off work this week so I have my workouts all planned and will def get them in.

Even though it is a bit pricier I am very motivated by my new gym.

Also less than a month away from finishing grad school so I will have my fitness time back.

All good things!!

Awesome. I kind of feel like a cheater for weighing in at night for the start of the comp. Very good motivation to keep going though.

[wings_unhinged]

Took more progress pictures and in comparing them to my first set I took two weeks ago, I see a difference in my torso. Glad to see some results.

With the last add=in (someone was late getting me the info) it puts us over 100lbs. If we could hold 100lb a week, we'd be looking pretty good!

[Aschramm71]

Sorry for being late - 276.2

Make sure you follow the submission directions next time. You need to PM me with your current weight in the subject. I won't accept submissions via the thread anymore.

[WannabeBetter]

Made most of my lunches for the rest of the week, and about to head to the gym. How is everyone else doing?

[krete77]

[krete77]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...sRTZkNEE#gid=0 is the actual spreadsheet.

I'll post some other comments in here later.

I can't wait to see the total group loss June 1st, its going to be big!!!

I was thinking the same! Hopefully we all stick with this, and we all have good results. I don't want to get ahead of myself though, but its nice to think how much we could all lose, as a group.

I want to get close to 2 lbs weight loss as possible now. I've been hitting the cardio pretty hard after every weight lifting day, 4x per week. In addition, I have 2 days of HIIT per week.

Its only the first week, and to think what could be possible by July 1st!

I'm wondering how this comp will compare to the other one I'm in.

It won't. This one's 10x better since I'm running it
