Just Saw the new spreadsheet. Good job guys. Pretty interesting to see how the field narrows each week.

It will be a feat for most people just to consistently post their weight each Sunday till march 1st .

Just posting the link to sheet for updates. I think I have everyone who posted or PM'd me in their updates and several participants even updated their own number, Thanks!

New Link Dec1-Mar1-Tracker


Looking at the numbers I think we may have some people loosing a bit too fast... 4-5 and even 6 pounds per week average over 3 weeks. Maybe adjust your numbers if weight loss isn't tapering off to 1-2 lbs per week. I think that is the widely stated as healthy average target (or maybe it's just more bro-science). Although I think it's common if just starting out to loose more for first couple of weeks just should be aware and adjust if needed...

I think if there are no updates by next week for the rest I will pair down the list at that point.

Any way keep up the good work everyone! As a group we are almost 200 LBS lighter

As a general rule, yes... That being said I don't think the rule really applies to all people.

Take my particular situation. At this point being 383 is a far greater health risk than losing 4-5 lbs per week.

[redcaesar]

I think your right. Read the exact same thing... They used an example the contestants of biggest losers that were loosing 10-20 lbs in 1 week being far less unhealthy then keeping that 10-20lbs. So I guess as usually the general rule does not apply for everyone!

On other topics of "Rules to Live by" if you haven't read this I highly recommend this post on Lean Gains site Top-Ten-Fasting Myths Debunked

Well guys... Starting today I am officially doing C25K on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday (my off days from AllPro). That will be my cardio for the foreseeable future.

If you would have told me a coupe of months ago that I would be jogging for any considerable amount of time (that didn't involve a buffet ) I would have laughed at you!

227.5 to 223.5 1st week of cutting. Bit faster than expected but that's all good I guess

The link seems to be down, I just wanted to make sure you got me. I workout during the day at work, so all of my weigh ins will be on Mondays. I don't even have a scale at home. Good work people!!

[alacriTEA]

Good to hear... What is C25K?

Couch to 5K... It's a 9 week progressive running program that is aimed at preparing a complete noob runner for a 5K. It alternates intervals of running/joggin and walking. Each week the running gets longer and the walking gets shorter.

yep, went through a transition in my life a few years back. grabbed a piece of paper, drew this transitional phoenix, then off to the tattoo place lol.

[redcaesar]

Nice! I've always wanted a tattoo but haven't found anything yet that I'm sure I'll still love in 10, 20 years

Currently battleing my first cold of the season it's hindering my training but diet is not affected. Boosting up on vitamins and resting want to be able to get after it tomorrow. Stay strong!

Having a rough week. I keep weighing myself everyday, which is a terrible idea. I went from 308 to 313 overnight because of some chinese food and loads of water. Daily weigh-in = ****ty mentality.

Are any of you guys getting some body image issues? Before I started this journey, I never saw myself as a hideously fat guy but now it's all I can see in the mirror! It's disturbing.

Yes, yes and hell yes.... Frequent weigh-ins were had my head jacked up for a while. It's like I gave up one addiction and found a surrogate with the scale. Now, only on my officially designated weigh-in day.

As far as body image, well, I never really had a positive image of myself; however, like you I didn't really grasp how bad it was.... I think it's because we're paying more attention to it now. You are definitely now alone!

[01lowbird]

I weigh myself daily, for 6+ months now, and i find it interesting to see my weigh flucuate based on what i have had to eat and drink the day prior
