**OFFICIAL** Jan 1st - April 1st [2013] Weight Loss Thread/Competition

[JayAche]

Hey all,

69 entries so far. If you don't see your name on the list, then you submitted incorrectly or I didn't get it. I'm still getting incorrect entries.

Just to clear a couple things up;

- Submissions are on every Sunday (anytime) from here on out.
- If you do not submit this upcoming Sunday (1/6) you will be dropped permanently, no exceptions.

Your last few posts confused me, but this post just re-cleared my thoughts.

1/6 Is the one we "NEED" on time.

If we submit on the 29th, do we need to resubmit our weight on the 31st again?

LOL.

Here I go trying to simplify things, and I just make it worse.

If you're already on the spreadsheet, you're golden. We weigh in every Sunday, with 1/6 being the first weigh in.

The dates between 29-31 are to get into the contest. (so basically, if you submitted on the 29th, you're next weigh-in is on the 6th, not 1st).

Make sense?

First time, so attempting to make sure I know exactly what's going on to stay in the contest.
Makes sense, "BUT".. you mean 6th not 1st correct?

Yea my bad. Must be all the pies I ate this week. Wtf is wrong with me. I fixed it so it reads correctly now.

[webgodess]

Pretty depressing being the heaviest person. I blame it on being quite tall and having heavy bones or something.

It just means you have a lot more potential for weight loss. Shoot to win this thing!

Yup! Exactly what I was thinking. I started out a comp a few years ago as one of the top few heaviest, two of the guys who weighed more blew past me when things started rolling lol. I was happy for them but pissed all at once!

Just PM'd with my 241 starting point! So pumped to run for 200!

(and beyond of course)

[Kelekin]

Okay, so just to confirm one more time (sorry), do I need to give you my STARTING weight by tomorrow (31st) or can I give it to you on the 1st?

You can give him your starting weight (NOW)...
Last day for Registration is the 31st.

The 1st will not get you into the competition.

First official weigh-in which is mandatory that you submit on time is the 6th.

He's re-iterated a few times that the title should be exact.
[your_name] - [xxx] - FATLOSS COMP[2013]
So I'm guessing it was the fact that you had Weightloss Comp 2013, rather then FATLOSS COMP [2013]

[Iusedtobefat99]

I'm kicking things off with an all day fast tomorrow and just steak tuesday to enter ketosis.

Anyone care to discuss methods for their planned weight loss? I'm going to use ketosis and intermittent fasting, seems to be most effective for me.

Aye.

It's my own fault I'm here - time to do something about it.

Friends have been telling me they think I have an alcohol problem as well (I don't, but do like a drink) so I think I may go for an alcohol free January.

I think I can rely on the coffee to keep me alive.

Best of luck to you!

I think I'm going to operate an 8 hour eating window daily. Going to start at around 2k calories a day and see how it goes. I can adjust from there but would imagine that at my size that should suffice at least for some steady initial weight loss.

Bro, I don't drink coffee but I'm a believer that you can learn to appreciate anything over time so I started drinking 1-2 cups of black coffee daily, it's something to look forward to now. It's hard to fit alcohol into cals, you're better off without it for a while.

Yea, I drink maybe 5 or 6 cups a day at the moment (albeit with but a splash of low-fat milk). I think I would rather give up the alcohol but I will have to find something else to do when I'm sad if I can't drink or eat pizza.

I'm absolutely terrified of the fact that I die someday (I know it's stupid and I know I'm not a kid anymore.. well besides the username) and it sometimes upsets a lot and I've found that a walk around the town cheers me up, since I remember that I should be enjoying this rather than worrying about possible outcomes of live.

I suppose everyone has their methods of staying on the right side of crazy. It's good you are able not to worry as much.

[RainMan215]

How I plan to lose the last of these 20 lbs? Eat at a calorie deficit, bust my ass in the gym and use IF.

The only reason I use IF is because I'm usually up late so this helps turn my late night Extra snacking into part of my daily "planned" calorie intake...

After the new years party tonight I'm cutting all alcohol until I'm done this cut...

My weight loss journey from June 11th to Dec 31st was pretty successful. I went from 240 to 202. Could've done better if I wasn't drinking so heavily and drunk ordering things like 3 mcgriddles and 3 hash browns/ trying to order big macs at Wendy's etc.

Good luck everybody. Stay motivated.

Edit: I also suggest people use a program like myfitnesspal. There's no way to know your eating at a calorie deficit unless your tracking what you eat

Thats true, mate! Thanks.

[Gelert]

I do a lot of lurking and keep telling myself that I'm going to do something, so I will. PM'd!

Starting
Weight: 120.5kg/265lbs
Waist: 45"
Neck: 17"
Tits: Massive

Goal
Weight: 100kg/220.5lbs
Waist: Smaller
Neck: Smaller
Tits: What tits?

Just need to see how my will power plays out now.

Good luck with your goals guys and girls!

EDIT: Krete, I've sent 2 PM's but neither are showing in my Sent Items. Could you let me know if you've got them? Thanks buddy.

I'm going the keto route too...weight falls off like nothing and it keeps me from indulging in junk. Whenever I allow too many carbs on a 'diet', I end up seeing how I can fit pizza and ice cream into my macros lol.

So..you don't think he knows what it was for eh?.lol Surely so.

I believe he uses a program to manage everything more efficiently....imagine it'd be tedious to manually categorize and track 70+ people.

If you copy and paste how he said to post and fill in the blanks, you can't go wrong.

[Earlbolus]

you again!!! Ahhhhhhhh 8-)

Hehe, you won't get rid of me until I am where I need to be.

[krete77]

So, sometimes I don't get PMs from people. Something weird about the PM system. I'll put you in with this message however. It's possible you put the correct format in the body of the PM, not the subject, to which I just automatically delete.

He's re-iterated a few times that the title should be exact.
[your_name] - [xxx] - FATLOSS COMP[2013]

Nah. It doesn't have to be exact. A name and weight will do just fine. I just wanted the 2013 there initially to separate this comp from the last (since they overlapped). IT MUST BE IN THE SUBJECT THOUGH.

So..you don't think he knows what it was for eh?.lol Surely so.

I knew what it is ... just never got one from you. (it happens)

[krete77]

In!

Anybody wanna put up money for prize?

I'm in on this. In 2012 I lost 97lbs total. I weighed in today @ 220.1lbs (damn holiday I was down to 214lbs). Goal is to be down to 190lbs by the end of this. GL to everyone!

Congrats on the loss so far and good luck to you in 2013!

[Blownchevelle68]

Starting over again after letting myself get back into bad habits. Not making any huge resolutions as those just seem to get in the way anyways-just planning on setting a caloric value to hit each day, get some excersize in weekly and see how it works. Not even cutting alcohol out as I enjoy that once a week, although I will cut back on bad foods, get a set eating schedule and use portion control.
