**OFFICIAL** Oct 1st - Jan 1st Weight Loss Thread/Competition

[Dutchie1972]

230.7 so -3.6lbs this week, was seriously hoping for more but hey I´ll take it

Minus 3.6 lbs is great! Any loss counts.

Im down a little bit, and delighted to be 73.9 kg. Been looking forward to that 3 for a long time.

[Tupperwolf]

Down 1.5 lbs this week and officially down 10 lbs since signing up for this comp.

Edit: LOL, Krete, I screwed up my weigh-in PM thinking about that 10 lbs. I submitted with 172.5 which is where I started. Then I sent you another PM with 162.5.

[cnh57811]

176.8 (down 2 lbs)

[truushot]

194.2...

[NONOPUST]

Down to 212.6

[wrknprogres]

I think I'm gonna drop out. This cut isn't going like I'd hoped. I'm losing but at about half the rate I was shooting for. I thought I could be done with it by the first but it'll probably take through the end of Febuary at this rate if not longer. Good luck everybody.

[truushot]

So you are quitting because it isn't going as well as you thought? Putting it on is certainly easier then taking it off. So what it takes longer than you thought, quitting now won't make it happen any sooner. So I guess you want to be fat.

Dont stop now man, just think how far you have gone, not how far u have to go, 1/3/5 years from now will you be happier if you kept @ it or if u quit, even if progress is slow, progress is still progress you/me everyone can get there keep your head in the game dont stop, you must also realise january 1 is not the end, it`s just a waypoint you dont stop counting what you eat or stop training there its a marathon not a sprint. Find something that keeps you going why you are doing this, my own head is totally in this thing lately cause I have found my reason to change my ways, hope you can find yours.

[rocketman766]

Down to 261lbs. Not quite where I wanted to be today... I had set a goal of 259 for today, but I'll take 261. Thats a loss of 5lbs this week! This week will be a little harder, but keeping the diet clean(er) and keeping my focus should help me get into the 250s for next weeks weigh in.

I think some people really expect too much too soon. You were aiming for 7lbs in one week?

[rocketman766]

I started late, I am still in the early stages of my loss. I figure I only have a few weeks in the beginning to drop high numbers, then its on to the hard stuff. Unfortunately, I have yo-yo'ed my weight over the last few years and every time I start losing, I have good numbers in the first couple weeks. I won't be calling for those types of numbers every week. I'm not going to be upset if I don't hit a high number, I just set my bar high. Realistically, I expect 3-4 lbs a week, but I will try for more.

[matman1813]

Fair enough. That sounds a lot more realistic now.

slow down man you will reach 200 before I will

[BodyOfLaw]

Down to 197. That's another 2.6 and 14 since the comp started.

[deebee83]

Down to 191, -4 this week. I'm taking this as a huge victory because the hurricane cost me 1 trip to the gym, and in reality even more than that (got 2 of my 3 lifting days in, but since that was thrown off I didn't do any cardio so I'd be fresh for this Monday when I get back on schedule). Kept the diet in check and that got it done though. Congrats to everyone else who had a good week

[Dcdc83]

Lifted for the first time in 2 weeks ( 1 week for minor surgery and 2 week hurricane shut my area down). Feels great to be back on track.

[cnh57811]

Lol'd irl

disgonbgood by the time this is all over. actually being serious.


...

I've been traveling and I got ravenous before I could weigh in this morning. Since I'm guessing at my weight I'll assume upward - 128 lbs. Sending pm now.

Heading out now to do some runs up a steep hill.

[AllApologies]

I can't believe I am less than 4 pounds from the 150's; I haven't been in the 150's since I was 13.

Down 15 pounds since August, this is easily the best cut I've ever done.

The biggest change is the waist: down from 37, two years ago, to 31.5 now.

But... surely you'll be working on girl #3 during that time?

...

A really good (artsy) cinematographer has been staying at my brother's place and he had the same idea/did 14 sets of stair climbs up that hill. He could have filmed my workout! Should have thought of that earlier. He's seen me go from fit to fat to fit again over the years... Probably would have been happy to do it, lol. Oh well. He's leaving tomorrow so I missed my chance.

[BradKemp]

But... surely you'll be working on girl #3 during that time?

That was last week.

Just kidding.

Nah not looking for girls right now but if the universe sends me a good one then who am I to refuse?

[krete77]

Still here guys. Will take care of spreadsheet tommorrow. Very busy so sorry if I'm a little late on everything.

Hope you guys had a good week!
