June 1 - Aug 31 Weight loss Comp/Support

[Rambo14k]

I'm looking forward to Friday.. I was at 217 this morning.. lowest I've seen for pretty much a year. I'm going to try and be around 200 by the end of July

195 U can do this!

Bad couple of weeks from a diet perspective, even if I've lost weight.

I have, however, started working out again, regularly. Travel + family reasons kept me from working out the past two weeks, but today I went for a great run in San Franscisco. It was delightful.

I just need to taper down my calories again, and hopefully hit my stride!

It is so hard to be good when you're traveling and going out on nice dinners. Tomorrow, I'm meeting someone for lunch at the famous One Market restaurant. Grrrr! Wish people would pick Subway instead.

I'm hoping for 222lbs in the morning. Fingers crossed!

Subway can be bad as well if you're eating a foot long, chips and soda. Portion control my friend

[PunkyCindy]

Ok, finally got this one done.

Y'all are doing great and I'm so proud of everyone sticking with this week after week. I know it's not easy. The most important thing is not to give up.

We lost a lot of people off the sheet for missing weigh ins.....we're down to 101 people.

If I missed anyone or made a mistake please let me know...I had a 5 year old bugging me the whole time I was doing this. (mama, mama,mama, mama..."whattttt!" I love you the world...so cute, but doesn't lend itself to getting anything accomplished.)

Congrats to Ciscoguy. I have been trying to catch up to you but it is not working so far. And congrats to everyone else. Keep up the great work. I am curious to see what the total weight loss of the group is when we are done with this.

Ahhh I know this feel!! I've been visiting family the past couple of weeks too. Usually my diet strategy is not buying trigger foods so I won't even be tempted. Lately I've been cutting whatever's on my plate in half whenever we go out to eat by rendering the other half inedible. Salting it into oblivion, putting too much hot sauce, etc. Haha...a method to the madness I guess.

[Crooktele79]

Oh how the scale taunts me! I'm in a bit of a stall this week I think...Still gonna post a loss but not as much as I had hoped unless I get a whoosh in the next 24 hours.

[mac2118]

I haven't had a whoosh for a month.. I'm kind of dreading the next one..

[devices]

Alright. Made it to the first page!

[Tuffshift]

Seeing HUGE lean muscle gains, feeling the burn and can visually see some slimming down! Checked in last night @ 246.9, pumped for tomorrow!

[Kelekin]

I had to take a break after all the insane stress in my life during that last competition. It was just terrible timing. I'm glad to see you started one up Cindy, you're an inspiration. Just great seeing a lot of the same people still at it.

I lost 20 lbs so far this month, so my journey's been rockin'. Sorted a lot of things out, and life is really good right now. I take it one day at a time and not let it be a big deal. If I have a day of over-eating? I go work it off right away.

[onthespot]

Well it,s Friday morning weigh-in time again. It has been a bad week for me, we have friends on island visiting from the states. My Diet has been off this week. My weight this morning it 240 lbs same as last week. Total loss of -0 lbs.

[lssanchez]

I went to the gym this morning and did chest and shoulders for about 90 minutes. I use the smith machine and dumbells and then a few machines. My workout was very good...now I feel the soreness even before I let go of the weight. I can see my body changing a lot. It feels hard in many places which is good. I went back to the gym after work and did the elliptical for an hour. It was good to be on the elliptical again after so many months. I'm soooo tired! Anyway, I had not seen the scale go down from 155lbs...Today, I increased the calories intake to 1400 per day. I will be doing 1400 for 2 weeks and then 1500. My main concern is that I do not want to lose my muscles so my protein intake was always higher than my carbs. I kept my protein between 120g - 140g. Carbs at 110g max. Am I doing something wrong? Once again, I'm really upset about that part of my training..what do you guys and gals think?

Well i'm pretty hungry right now and I already ate all my calories for the day, so what do I decide to do? Looked at new restaurants and their menus on Urbanspoon for the last 30 minutes. I'm such an idiot lol now i'm really hungry

You could always eat something filling and healthy (e.g. seasoned cottage cheese) and go for a run to make up for it.

Sounds like a good idea, but..... 6 days of cardio is already too much for me as it is lol

If you want to get smaller, eat less. It's that simple. I gain and lose around 20 pounds every year. The amount of excercise I do doesn't change whether I'm bulking or cutting. The only thing that changes is the amount of food that I eat.

[Seachmall]

Friday Weigh-in: 171.8lbs

[Crooktele79]

Weigh in : 202.4 - Happy Friday everybody! - Increased calories this week to actually slow myself down and it worked....which pissed me off LOL.
I'm getting really impatient and ready to see my weight drop below 200, looks like another week and a half and I'm there.

[Earlbolus]

Friday weigh-in: 213.2, that's -0.2 lbs

Not much, but still happy about that with all that alcohol from last weekend.

Jun 1 - Aug 31 Fat Loss Comp:
6-1: 323.4 | 6-8: 326.4 | 6-15: 321.6 | 6-22: 323.2 | 6-29: 317.2


Well, down 7 lbs on the competition as a whole. my weight fluctuates like crazy, I was at the docs office on Wed and the official weight was 324, def not likely to have dropped 7 lbs in 4 days of actual weight. Im drinking a lot of water.iced tea throughout the day.

Also started taking ECA on Mon and will continue that for the month. I am drinking tea in lieu of the caffeine pills though for a more natural caffeine. Today will be my first day back in the gym since this Sunday when I injured myself while doing insanity basketball drills (lower back). I was decent enough by wed but Id rather give it an extra day and take no chances, just cut down my calories for those days.

[5FDP85]

Weighed in at 181.5 today I believe that's 7.5lbs lost for the month, I'll take it!

[cnh57811]

170.4 (down 1.0 lb)

Upped my cals this week by 200 per day. Things will probably be slow for me over the next few weeks but i dont think i was eating enough.

June progress:
9 lbs down and 1.25" off waist

[babyj1006]

6/29: 160.4

I haven't been on here much to post since I went back to work but my diet is still going strong and I'm still making it to the gym. I'm only losing a tiny bit each week but at least I'm losing and not gaining. I must say that now that I have made it a month into the diet, it is really getting easier and easier. Also, I'm at the point of needing to up my weights at the gym because I'm starting to get comfortable. Monday I'll be upping my weights by 10lbs.
