I hit 203. Then I had a carby weekend... And am 205 today.

PRAYING TO THE POWERS THAT BE THAT I CAN STAY LOW FOR TOMORROW. If not, I swear I'm going to be mad.

Also, pic from November vs. Today:

Don't even look like the same person.

Three thoughts:

1. WOW! INSANE WORK! KEEP IT UP!

2. Good idea losing the fu manchu. Beard is way better.

3. You kinda look like Jason Jones.

Holy monkey, thanks guys

So awesome! I've still got a ways to go, but we're getting there. Congrats to you all, too, for your constant drive to be better

[caprica6]

Jaysus... I NEVER EVEN SAW THAT SECOND POST!

*hugs*

Thanks for that

*hugs you back!*

Will take you and your Quebecette/Quebecois-ess out for a seafood dinner the next time you're in New England/10. That goes for some of the rest of you as well, lol. As for the rest, I think I'm on your ignore list so you won't even see this.

[chudude]

Straight up stunner right here. Lookin good man, you gotta teach me how to dress! Suit up!

[scatterzoom]

Hey all... been kinda absent this past week. Totally have lost my focus. Diet wise I've been eating like crap and drinking too much. Still keeping up my lifting but haven't done any cardio for 2 weeks. I think the stress of moving and getting things ready is getting to me. I've totally been avoiding the scale. Just thought I'd check in... lot of posting going on.

I just sent Nitro a message hoping to get back on this thread. In the times I've regularly updated the spreadsheet with my weights, I've lost like 12 pounds. Since I've stopped, I've gained 8 back. Time to get back on the wagon!

You guys are all awesome. Good to be back for teh motivations.

Hey welcome back ajm!

Still 149.5! And I've had the worst sweet tooth lately... Ooh cookies...IIFYM!

Nice new avi steff.. is that your DL on the back of your phone?

Back up to 172.
Too many carbs this weekend.

Next weekend doesn't look any better.
I'll just keep it strict for the week.

I shrunk.
Mostly butt & chest area.
I'm able to wear some 30's I couldn't wear last week & my M athletic cut polo's & V's aren't at snug around the chest.

I swear, this cut I've been totally overdoing the carbs. I think I'm up over my starting weight. I think I should try eating at maintenance for a while

Since i will be on the road tomorrow and cant weigh... My official weight is 169.8!!!!!!! Started out at 217 in January so i think i am making pretty solid progress. Now time to make a statue out of a log!

[SherOfPunjab]

Drinking about 4-5 litres of water now and bladder is getting used to it..love it when I take a long 5 min piss in the morning and stomach feels so light and tight....still a longggg way to go...but this time not gonna quit !

[steffy456]

Nice new avi steff.. is that your DL on the back of your phone?
!

Haha, it is!! I have a really bad habit of losing it (lost 4 times just last year) so i put it in the back of my phone since I'd never lose that! So far it's been a great idea for me even though it kind of shows how often I get carded which probably isn't as good, but whatev

Edited for bad spelling, thanks autocorrect.

What was your starting weight in April?
You got a meal & lifting log on the forum?
Watching the vids man. Thanks for posting.

[thjones3]

I can't add much to what has already been said, but awesome job everyone! I had a fairly clean weekend and weighed in at 205.6 this morning!

One issue I have been experiencing for the past couple weeks is that when I do my protien shake, it makes me nausous (sp?) until I eat something else. I've never had this happen before. It's ON gold standard choc mixed with 12 oz of 1% or skim milk. Has anyone experienced anything similar? I think I will try a different brand when my tub runs out.

[ajm422]

Man, so glad I hopped back on this thread. When I submitted my weights to Nitro last week I was 176.6. Today i was 173.4, and the mirror is once again my friend. Just water weight, I know, but it's nice to be off to a strong start. Can't wait 'til 8/1!

Life's responsibilities been kicking my ass lately and cutting into my internet forum time. In at 231.2 this morning.

I haven't changed my diet or training routine but the last couple of weeks it seems like the weight is just melting off me??? Not complaining but wondering WTF!

Good luck, jehutyzone123!

Great job, guys!!

125 lbs today. I can’t believe it...

In anticipation of today I ate lunch and small a snack at home before attending a huge annual street fair on Sunday. The only food I purchased - one medium multiberry smoothie that was mostly berries and crushed ice... it was soo refreshing... And now I know I made the right choice. No food can make me feel as good as I feel right now.

[Shane502]

I've been pretty sick since Friday of last week. I didn't hit the gym, but stayed at home and ate more than I should.

I went to my appointment on Monday and turns out I have a bad sinus infection and upper respiratory infection.

I lost almost a full pound though, which was suprising.

I am feeling a bit better today, hopefully I can start hitting the gym within the next couple of days.

Keep Motivated!

[BradKemp]

No more easy weight loss for me - I've only lost like 2 pounds in the last 25 days.

Ever since I started this gay ass german volume training I'm not losing any weight.. I just get DOMS instead.

I think I've gain some muscle on my legs but these damn moobs got more lives than the cat that came back the very next day.

[dagame04]

235 this week and my birthday is Thursday... But that means nothing im still knocking out 3 miles and Shoulders on my bday... Gotta look good at the beach this weekend...

[TelusLob]

Need to send Nitro a PM, but my weight today was 183.4, LOL...

Stitches came out today, so my activity level should pick up soon. May drop my cals back down a bit.
