lifting weights essentially = dropping cals

You have the right idea...get rid of the bread and soda. Lifting weights will help you drop fat much faster than only doing cardio. I lost 50lbs only weight lifting! Cardio was just too boring. I pretty much did a couple sets on each machine with 30 secs of rest between the sets. Was amazing to see the weight fall off just sticking to that and eating better.

Caprica, been meaning to ask you, what type of diet do you follow?

You need a diet plan. Your time would be far better spend initially getting it set. At your weight you could easily drop 4 pounds a week with a bit of effort.

True story. Oh and BigX160, if you're counting properly and your deficit is big enough it doesn't matter if you only eat bread, drink soda and sit on your ass all day. You will lose weight. Of course I'm not advocating that but you could.

[cnh57811]

23 will be dropped.


That is all.

[elterrible987]

another 2 pounds down this week.

we are going to be mad sexy on new years when everyone else is fat and bloated just joining a gym. Those people will be mirrorin us

[madhessian]

20 drops I think

[Bandah07]

Hey Guys,

So when I designed this new spreadsheet (which was made to make readability faster. The last one was extremely slow) I forgot to have a column to mark who submits each week. So if I don't have this column, I won't ever know who submitted or who didn't, meaning I won't know who to remove each week.

So, if you submitted this week, and you don't see an 'X' next your name (on the far right column), could you please shoot me a private message stating that you submitted this week.

and if I remove you, and you don't see your name on the list, just let me know. I don't actually delete your data. I just move to another spreadsheet called 'October_Bums'.

After this week, you guys won't have to worry about this. Just submit as usual. Sorry for the confusion. I'm usually really good about thinking things out in advance.

SORRY!

Brah, just submitted my weight to you in PM again as I dont have an X.
2 more lbs gone

[earthshieldlol]

so i only dropped about 2 lbs this week on this crazy week of psmf diet (900-1000 cals/day), but i definitely look and feel noticeably leaner than just a 2lb loss. so that kind of makes me think that (1) i'm leaner than i realized, and (2) i lost more than 2lbs fat but am retaining some water. going to continue psmf for until thursday as planned but probably will jump up to about 2000 cals/day when i get back from vacation next monday and see how that goes. only have about 6 more lbs to lose now until the bulk begins, so i'm willing to tinker with things a little bit since i'm not in a huge rush to drop the weight.

Nice work mang. Has the psmf been as bad as everyone says? I'm willing to bet the scale will drop a bit more by thursday. Keep us updated. Interested to see how things shake out.

[UnderTenPercent]

26 will drop out is my guess.

[TheNormalMan]

Haven't checked in since I pre registered for the competition.

I'm down to 201.4 from my starting weight of 207 as of two weeks ago.

Going to update more frequently instead of being lazy like I've been and using being busy as an excuse.

Hoping to finally get under 200 by next week.

[curjo]

I think it's just cause he hasn't updated it in a while, I'm sure he'll get to it. Probably a busy day.

[earthshieldlol]

He updates once a week, usually Sunday night or Monday morning.

[krete77]

Sup guys. So, it looks like we lost a lot of people this week. Before I get to the number, could you just please check to make sure I didn't accidentally remove you from the list. Like I had mentioned before, I rewrote this spreadsheet to make it faster, but I forgot to include a way to keep track of who submits each week and who doesn't. Basically, I need to know who not to remove. (By the way, by reprogramming this spreadsheet, it had ZERO effect on speedability within google.docs#. I'm actually upset at Google for having such poor programming on such a wonderful idea).

Anyways, we lost 32 people. Yep, that's right. 32 of you dropped out. We have 47 left. Already, we have had a 50% drop rate. For the rest of you that are still here, if you make it to the end, it will take a miracle. This, I challenge you.

Prove me wrong on my less than the top 10% will survive this competition.

So, a big round of applause this week for our top 3:

1) Brentten with 14lbs lost so far.
2) KidGloves close behind with an 11 lb lost.
3) deebee83 with a 9 lb loss.

Still anyone's game! Have a good night guys.

[krete77]

Here is your winner.

Reps to that man!

Total contestants dropped: 32

[truushot]

Should be who guesses closest.

I think it is more than you think 26 drop out.

And we all rep that person.

Hmm.. Guessed 26 as well. He/She copied my answer!! Oh the humanity!!!

[Felixano]

What the ****? Why isn't my name on the list, I've been submitting every week...

[truushot]

Try being polite. People make mistakes. You won't be on the graph as I think he said that 0, if I'm reading your sig. right, doesn't work on a graph.

[NocturnalEphex]

I hope Krete's a little generous with me here as it's still Sunday where I'm at. I wasn't aware of your time zone until just now, and I just sent the PM ten minutes ago.

[SY82]

OP, I appreciate all the hard work you're doing to keep this competition going smoothly. Thanks.

Thanks Krete - great work, as usual! Thumbs up to all of us still in the competition. We can do this!

[jtrip007]

I got missed getting put on the list

[Julliet]

Hello
I am on week 7 of my P90X. Today is my day 45, I am on my middle way. I weighted myself yesterday and I am 69.7kg. Beautiful and happy. Best week to all .

[CincyBass]

Changing your intake from carbs to protein matters little. It is the NUMBER of calories you are consuming. Eat less = lose weight.

I realize, but I was talking more about water weight than actual weight. Even though I stay within a hundred or so of my goals on weekends, almost all of the calories comes from carbs, so im sure I hold on to a bit of water. If I weigh myself on Friday then again on Tuesday there's usually close to a 4 pound gap.

Plus perhaps forcefully limiting my carbs will make me stop eating and drinking all that pizza and beer? Hah.

[UnderTenPercent]

Hey KRETE I submitted twice on Sunday. I submitted the second after I saw no X next to submit next to my name. Please make that correction please. And thanks for the reps!

[Dcdc83]

First time since the comp started that my clothes feel looser. Good motivation. Hope everyone has a good week!
