[caprica6]

lol

starting weight 126 lbs. ending weight 125.5 lbs.


*kicks stuff*

(edit: not really. i'm fine with that. onward and downward, and good luck to everyone else once again.)

[NONOPUST]

What a week! I sincerely thought I would end up +3lbs. At my heaviest this week I was almost 206, but somehow I managed to get back down to 198.6, which is a loss of a pound.

[krete77]

Hey Guys,

Still missing submission from 8 of you! I hope you guys make it in!

Right now, we have 11 people out of 101 that made it to the end. Just a TAD bit better than the last one (9 out of 85).

Looking forward to the rest of ya'll's.

[lucksterx]

Daaaaaamn didn't lose anything this week :-(. Came out same exact, 183.4. I guess this is where I start for the new comp, haha.

*PMs krete77* and thanks for doing these :-)

[BodyOfLaw]

Down to 186.8 for the final weigh in.

That makes for a total loss for this comp of 24.2 lbs and a total of 38.2 lbs since I started cutting on Aug. 27th. Awesome work everyone! Thanks for all your work, Krete77 - See most of you in the next comp!

[DamianMK]

I'll submit my final weight first thing in the morning Krete; I neglected to weigh myself today. I don't think the number will be a good one to finish this comp, it's been a week of sweets. Tossed the remainder out today.

I'll also be joining the next comp tomorrow. I gather I have ~35lb to lose still.

[stormtiger]

Thanks for hosting this comp Krete; I really appreciate all of your hard work.
This competition had a great group of people.
I look forward to the next competition!

Happy New Year everyone and I wish you all much success in your endeavors.

[JayAche]

I'm confused...
Is one just finishing up, and another just starting?...
I don't want to miss the first submission.

Yep....hence the titles of the two different threads......

Edit: If you don't want to miss the first submission, send krete77 your pm right now (in the other thread, of course)

Ahh gotcha Didn't even look at the dates, just saw weight loss competition, clicked on it and saw people submitting.
I submit my app to Join the new one, that's why I was worried didn't know if I needed to submit an official starting weight today or what.

You have to send a PM to the person who is running the Jan1-Apr1 comp. Go to that thread and read the op. It has all the instructions.

[outofmyhead]

krete, i dont know what the hell is wrong with the PM system but it seems u didnt get my PM once again ( sent it yesterday ) anyways my christmas feeding frenzy added 1lbs so im 215 for the final weigh in, thank you.

Very weird my friend.

Are you in on the next one? I placed you in it just in case. Let me know if you want to opt out.

[cnh57811]

So, here are my results. I went from 190 to 170 and feel like I'm real close to where I want to be when I start a bulk. Still doing Convict Conditioning and will continue so until I hit the weights sometime in the spring. Oh, and dat feel when you realize you don't actually have the lbm you thought you did :/



Love handles gonna love......going to work on leaning these out in this upcoming comp. Then bulky time

[krete77]

^ I'd say that was a good cut. Looks like your arms stayed the same size while you decreased fat all over. Way to go.

Much appreciated. I'm starting to feel really small cause I've never been this lean before. My mind is playing games with me....'You're losing tons of lbm!'......'Nah, you're fine. You never had that lbm to begin with'. It's good to hear you say that it looks like I'm maintaining some lbm.

[matman1813]

Looking pretty good, bulky time soon.

[cnh57811]

Agreed.

I'd say little to no lbm was lost. You just don't have a lot of lbm to begin with. Keep it up you're almost there; the mind can be tricky lol

[krete77]

Good morning!

Congratulations to you all! You lads made it all the way to the end. This was probably the toughest one since it ran over a few holidays AND was the biggest one we have had to this date. Running these is fun for me because I get to know you guys a little better, especially at the end where there is so few of you, it becomes sort of a bonding situation. (a little bit I guess lol).

Anyways, with that, I'll leave you with the statistics of the overall competition and of course, the winners/runner ups!

Thanks bud. Without the pics, it would have been hard for me to see visual proof. Measurements are showing decrease as well but I'm very glad I've been taking pictures. It's motivation to me. I have pics from 248lbs too, that ****... I don't even... -_-

[matman1813]

Will try to get round to posting some before/after shots when I get home. More likely tomorrow though.

[usvartj]

Hey guys

Pretty crazy that it's at the end, huh? Really great results for a few people! I hope that those who will stop cutting now are happy with themselves and that those who move on to the new one do good as well. I took a progress picture, very poor quality iPod camera though, but since I'm still a noob I can't embed them. I don't know if you'll be able to click on it or if someone could kindly embed. i45.tinypic com /2wgbpcw.jpg
