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

[ateamextreme]

Does anyone know if the cutoff time was time-zone specific? If so, then damn, missed it (PST vs EST) by an hour when I submitted yesterday at 10pm PST.

Oh well, still gonna tag along and track my own progress!

Good luck everyone! Stay motivated!

The cutoff ended about 12 hours early anyways. Reached the max of 150. Please do join us! Maybe we can have a %115 retention rate!

Losing weight is 1 part knowledge 99 parts will power. If you have the will power to put the fork down you will lose weight. Most everything else is just noise.

This 99x over. There are interesting studies too about how the receptors that affect drug addiction are the exact same as food cravings. I wrote a longer post about this but accidentally refreshed the page and it'd be too much effort. But yeah. Will power is everything. For some people, it's like kicking a habit, when it's been a habit all your life. Changing fundamental hardwiring.

[krete77]

Nope. March 15th will be one year since I started my transformation and I plan on being a shredded kent.

No wife. No kids. No GF.

NO EXCUSES.

Hello all,

So I hope you have all gotten off to a good start. We've got quite a number of entrants this time. In fact, it's the most we've ever had. There is 152 of you total. Since I had to cap the competition off at 150, I decided to make a waiting list so that as people drop off, I can bring the people who submitted after we were full back in. That waiting list can be found here;

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...RTZkNEE#gid=10

It is in order of who submitted PMs to me first, so first come first serve is the deal here. It's the order of how I got them when I downloaded the PMs, so don't yell at me, yell at BB.com if you think you submitted earlier

Alright guys, one last note. I'm not messing around when I say that if you miss this next submission you are off the list for good and I won't be taking any more submissions from you. So, DONT MISS THE DATE (1/6/13).

Also, another way to get the boot off the list is to not submit correctly. You must submit your NAME and WEIGHT in the SUBJECT line, or else I will ignore you and you will be removed from the list.

Normally I make exceptions, but with this many of you, I cannot. So do it right the first time or else you're gone. I'm sure the guys on the waiting list would appreciate you messing up so they can get in on this however

Have a good week,

-krete

I feel so ill this morning. My throat and head hurt, it hurts to swallow, my eyes are stinging and I feel so tired. Ergh.

I think today might be coffee, tea and soup all day. At least it will go some way towards mitigating yesterdays slip ups.

Day 3 is going WELL

Feeling very motivated and looking forward to weight training. Let's do this BAM !

[webgodess]

Time to whine. Ugh I hurt, feels like I been hit by a bus. Progress! lol

Day 3, on track with food, supps, workouts and not so much with water, hitting about the 8-24 oz range per day. I thought about a day off but it's too soon so I'll just do cardio today. Maybe treadmill or Zumba on Kinect with my daughter, she got it from Santa.



Glad to see so many are active in the thread and that we have some extras hanging out, it's all very motivating!

Gjdm. My weight gain is intentional. I aint scurred.

^^^Lol at on the fly. Some things you dont hear very often outside of working at a restaurant.

[RainMan215]

Burned 1400 calories last night on the elyptical... Gonna hit the gym again in a few hours. Good luck guys.

lol, you're right! waited my way through college expenses. it's one of those phrases that I use, but don't realize are profession-specific

I don't know how to put this in a delicate fashion, so I'm just going to say it. No you didn't. You didn't burn anywhere near 1400 calories unless you were on the thing for 5 hours. Plz don't trust the machine or your FitBit. They aren't right. Plz don't eat an extra 1400 calories that you "burned". You'll be cursing yourself in two months when you weight exactly the same or higher than you do now, best case scenario.

Plz listen.

You may be right who knows. I was on there for 100 minutes... I've lost 40 pounds running 1 hour to 1 hour and 40 minutes in 5-6 months so I know what I'm doing is working. I usually never eat back my calories

Don't listen to him.

Go out right now and buy this. Best $5 I've ever spent. I used to drink about 20 oz each day, unless I was feeling inspired, then maybe a half gallon. I now drink well over a gallon and no longer have the water-skipping habit.

Got mine from Walmart, but here's one on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Purple-Free-Do...cup+with+straw
