Official May 1st to Aug 1st weight loss thread

[xx0dinxx]

In!

The current comp is helping me stay on track, but my goal keeps changing, so this is perfect.

[psyvision]

In. Down from 265 at midway through January. My goal is 180, but now I'm shooting for the best I can do by the beginning of next year of college.

May I join in? I am doing a midApril-midJune weight loss-in the female section. But I would like the chance to continue on till Aug.

OK. The "rules" this isn't really a "competition" but a great way to help keep you on track for your weight loss goals.

The Feb 1st to May 1st thread was a great place for everyone to share experiances, recipies, workouts, ideas ect. that they discovered or are using to loose weight.

I enjoyed that aspect of the thread. I'd like to keep it going.


All I need is a PM with the header "weigh in" on Sunday May 1st & sometime Monday while i'm "working hard" lol! i'll post the spreadsheet with everyone's name on it.

It's gonna suck with sunday morning being the weigh in day but I know it's going to be on my brain every weekend & remind me that moderation is key.

I'll update the spreadsheet monday's & post it.

EDIT: NO PICS NEEDED! THAT IS WHAT BODYSPACE IS FOR.

[Sami76]

Just what I need to stay motivated! Thanks for starting this!

A Sunday weigh in will keep us on our toes during the weekend socializing, and that's all good in my book.

Oh geez, I hope pics are optional. Wouldn't mind showing the after pics a year from now, tho.

[NitrogenWidget]

You know, I have to say that posting pictures is an excellent motivation, along with challenges/support groups like this. There is nothing more real that seeing what your fat ass looks like, literally. Of course, everyone is different, but actually seeing how fat I was in my back view was a shocker and certainly helped me. But if you don't, definitely do measurements every two weeks or so (for yourself), in addition to weighing yourself. Losing fat is about so much more than the scale.

I've taken pics every few mo's or so from March '09 (300ish lbs) - Dec? '10 (160ish lbs), will have to see if i took any since. I know what my fat-ass looks like; however, they really don't need to be disseminated to the public to scare anyone.

[CorruptSilence]

SWEET!!! I've been waiting for this thead. lol I have done a couple in the past and they helped me greatly. Haven't dropped out of one yet. Lost my job and let life get to me. Fell flat on my face and need something like this to get me back on my feet. I will PM with height and weight May 1st...

[HL1]

I'm in

[avl0]

I'm in!

[cavymeister]

In! I was already planning on doing this. I actually started up today.

[Nexus2kx]

I'm in.

I was planning on starting a creatine cycle on May 1st though (not used it before), would that be a bad idea for a weight loss comp?

[TelusLob]

Creatine is fine for weight loss. I've started it 4-5 days ago, and lost more weight than normal while on it.

I started with 5g, but today upped to 10g to see if difference is noticed.

[gjbridges]

I'd definitely be glad to join this.

I'll update with stats later.

[dmmongoose]
