i saw the post about your work shirts. that's a good problem to have! maybe you can get them tailored for less?

Yes it is a good problem, and if I had to pay for them myself.... that would definitely be something to look into. Due to the material and the safety aspect of the requirement, I don't think that is an option. Plus, I work for a fortune 500 company, they can afford a few shirts for me, even if they say they can't!

Now for that top ten list, I just can't seem to crack that 3rd spot! I think I will definitely finish with >10% loss and will be close to 30lbs lost ( saying to self now---please don't flat line the weight loss today......) for the whole time period and I can live with that.

[maXmood]

Down to 191.8lbs this friday..

We still got one more week to go!

[moosejuice16]

Down 3lbs from last week!! Yay! Just what i needed after no loss the week before. Finding my stride just in time for the next thread.

Nitro when you looking at setting up the next one?

Good luck to all today!

[superhappy]

Held steady at 145 this week. This is really surprising - I've been completely swamped at work, didn't track, and only made it to the gym twice.
Firing up MFP again this morning to get back to tracking, and will hit the gym after work.

Have a great day everyone!

[stingray72]

Somehow im still down to 144.4 this week and im not intentionally trying to lose weight.

[NitrogenWidget]

185.
again.
Maybe next week something will change weight wise.
My pants are looser.
So I know i'm on the right track.

[live4gs]

227.0 Again no progress this week, no gain I guess is still good.

142.5.... again! Knowing those feels...

[StillFat53]

222 for me, what can I say my diet has been crap and that's most of it, up to 45 pushups now and improving my squats ever so slowly nice to be able jump/run around throw yourself around and actually control your own weight! I guess only former fatties know those feels though brb cant do one pushup brb squat down and can barely get back up!

[EdMclean79]

In at 226.8 for a loss of 3.8 lbs this week. The closer I start to get to my goal the more I want to start bulking!!! Got to keep my mind on the plan and don't stop cutting too early...

[lucksterx]

Next week is the last weigh-in, right? Who has before pics & are gonna share their progress?!

[HandoverFist]

197.4 still droppin

How the heck am I supposed to get to that top spot if you keep dropping weight like this?????? Good job, keep it up!

[rocketman766]

Weighed in at 239 lbs this morning, finally broke into the 230's again! And yes, once again it's a 2 lb drop.

[slimsta00018]

Hey. I was in such a rush I didn't weigh in! Ok well I will weigh tomorrow morning. Hope that's not considered cheating.

Know the feeling man! My weights been dropping really well as of late, but I'm also starting to have a noticeable loss in strength as my lifts are suffering. I'm sooo ready to bulk & get moar powah, but have to keep my eye on the prize and drop another 10 or so lbs before I'm even close to ready.

We're all gonna make it.

[caprica6]

liking these updates. in for everybody's pics.

Now for that top ten list, I just can't seem to crack that 3rd spot!

next week i'll be stompin' on all a y'all. everybody look out!

Thanks for the update, I gotta say at the start top 10 was looking meager for me lol.

when i get the sense that Nitro is done with the sheet i swoop in w/out asking. so far i haven't done anything to make him mad, lol, but one of these days i'm going to mess up his work.

also, i suck. i'm still doing 1 full body and 1 cardio session per week. how's your training going?

Down 3lbs from last week!! Yay! Just what i needed after no loss the week before. Finding my stride just in time for the next thread.

dang! congrats.

let's ask him via pm just in case he doesn't see our messages in here.

this week i felt somewhat frail. it's a bit scary when that happens, actually.

185.
again.

again!

again crew


...


i was a little too grouchy to check in earlier, but advil patched me back up. cramps... no change in my weight this week but that's welcome news given that i'm on my .

as i said above, i suck. i was thinking about trying out a few gyms with better hours, my gym extends its hours and i still don't show up... i think i'll lay out a few workout outfits tonight to see if that helps. my full body workouts last for a few hours because i guess deep down i don't trust myself/i know i won't be showing up again that week, lol.

[slimsta00018]

Came in at 244.8 again today. Can't wait to see the 230's! It's been a hectic week.

[Nottoway]

Back up to 253, so gained 2lbs and the caught the flu....down, in bed and tired....

[Ace Corona]

I finally broke through to the 220's on Friday, yesterday I weighed 229.5 lbs. and today I was 228.5 lbs. It's kind of an amazing feeling, I've been stuck in the low 230's for a couple of months now, I need to maintain this and get lower.

[EdMclean79]

How the heck am I supposed to get to that top spot if you keep dropping weight like this?????? Good job, keep it up!

Haha, my bad! To be honest all I worry about is being consistent and losing a little every weigh in. Inches can win or lose a game so you gotta fight for every little bit you can get. I don't have cheat days almost ever and I just keep my eye on the prize.

I've been away for a bit and it looks like I missed a ton of progress...fantastic job everyone.

I wish I could say the same. My household had the cold from hell wreak havoc on it. Between the 4 of us we are just finishing up it's second wave through the family. On top of that I have been swamped trying to meet deadlines on a couple committees that I serve on.

I still have to finish up a push for approval on a fundraising campaign to benefit a local respite care facility that serves families with children who are dependent on medical equipment. They have medical & support staff on hand and will provide care for the child for anywhere from a couple hours to 7 days when the parents have no where else to turn. Due to recent fire code changes the number of children allowed to be in their care at one time has been cut in half so our goal is to make a substantial donation to a building fund that will hopefully allow for the construction of a larger facility.

Anyway...back on topic. Between being sick & being busy I have to admit that some of the food choices I made weren't the best and were compounded by missing a couple workouts. Up to 182.4lbs as of Friday morning. I may not hit my goal of sub 180lbs this week...but I'm gonna try like hell.

[superhappy]

Welcome back, Frontman!

This time of year it's tough to avoid all the crud that goes around. Glad you're on the mend!

And good luck with the fundraising campaign. Sounds like a very worthy cause.

Keep at it and you'll get it! I started out not being able to do 1 chin up facepalm haha now i blast through those and working my reps up in pull ups!

[TelusLob]

Started creatine again after being off of it for a few weeks. Up 2 lbs.

Macros for the day: 2,150 165 69 166 (cals , carbs, fats, pro)

Did a nice walk today with the family. Take advantage of the brief warm-up before it gets bitterly cold next few days.

[rocketman766]

Had to cut my leg day short today... hated that! On my first rep of my warmup set on the hack squat, had a terrible pain shoot thru my leg ... knee/lower quad area. Don't know why, but glad I did a warmup set because I couldn't even push with that leg. Had trouble walking most of the day so I couldn't even do cardio! I was able to switch over to a shoulder workout, but super bummed about the leg. Unable to explain, feels better now but still "sore". I'll try again in a few days.

[cyanotikat]

Started new workout today. Holy **** am I going to be sore for the rest of the week... And I have to do it 2 more times this week! ;_;

[barbrox]

And these were so not worth it...
