[YMCA4ThisChick]

how bout every monday?

I am in for Mondays.

[chrischap01]

I would like to be a part of your conjoined journal, if y'all will have me. Since September, I have lost several inches, increased by 90 pounds in weight training, inherited a forearm muscle and have established a 4 day a week routine at the gym. Please keep tabs on my new signature, as I will edit a stat change when one is acheived. My biggest challenge will be reducing my caloric intake. I am subscribed with FitDay.com, and need to incorporate it into my routine. This is where I will need the MOST help from my partners, because I am not a stable dietary aid to myself. Blessings.

welcome aboard, you will be a great addition to this team!

whassup, edward! good to have you!

I propose we just make weigh in once a week, weigh in whenever you want, and report it here on Mondays? That should work for everyone. I think we should all report it at the same time, and not everyone posts as much on the weekend, and I don't often get to the gym to weigh in on weekends. Waiting two days will help carl build up some drama before revealing each weigh in, and i know he'll love that.

Oh my god!!! You know me so well!!!

==========================

Workout
Today was chest/triceps. It was a good workout but disapointed that my strenght is going down! Definitely going to work on that in the upcoming weeks.

Rehab
Yep...I am going into rehab. Not for drugs now... for food! I was challenge by my cousin to go 30 days or a bit over (up to February 1rst) without any fatty food, fast food or fried food. I am only allowed fruit, veggies, fish and meat. If I cheat..I pay up $500.00 Seeing that I love money more than food...I guess that was a sure way for him to guarantee I stick to it.

Cardio
Cardio will be done in the afternoon. So will post that later on.

Easier to gain weight than to lose it or vice versa
My cousin which is also my workout partner had this been discussion with me in the car. The guy is 175 lbs, 5ft 9, and about 8-9% body fat. Nice 6 packs, definition, chest , etc. I would kill to have his body. Problem...he has ben trying to get to 200 lbs in the past 2 year but never went over 185. Every time he falls off the wagon, stop eating as much, etc (He is married with 1 child, wife goes to school fulltime, so kinda explain it). I envy his body but not his life...and I thought my life was hectic.
So, he was telling me that it is easier to lose weight than to gain. I told him it was garbage and the opposite is true. We fight for over 20 minutes (till I drop him home) and finally agree to disagree. He believes it will be easier for me to get to 200 than for him!
This guys only has to gain a lousy 25 lbs...me I have to lose over 125 lbs...So tell me...for whom will it be easier
I gained more than 20 lbs in 3-4 months period!
You tell me

Hey bro!!! I am hoping we can come up with a day we can all weigh in and post weight.

[Freddie Beef]

I did really good on my cravings last nite, but I did wake up at like 4:30am and eat a handful of cashews and 2 slices of cheese. That is another of my problems, middle of nite eating.

[madSano]

Is this thing open to other people?

I wouldn't mind joining if it's alright with you guys..


If not, just let me know... I'm already doing several things already..


thanks

I'm all for this idea since I weigh in on Mondays anyways and usually can't make it to the gym on Saturdays since it's usually our busiest day at Cozy Beds.

[madSano]

[Freddie Beef]

ONce all the other guys I have involved in this journal put their 2sense in, we can come up with a good weigh in day. I can always weigh in on Fridays(almost always) I can post it on any day. So we will see what works best for all.

[Freddie Beef]

NICE!!!!


tell me what I have to do, and i'll do it!


thanks guys!

Post a waist size, a bit about yourself, and some goals, and weight.

[chrischap01]

NICE!!!!


tell me what I have to do, and i'll do it!


thanks guys!

here is my take on what this thread is about, but it is fred's deal so do what he says:

post an intro, where you are coming from, where you are going, waist size, weight and body fat, and then post the weekly updates, what you are doing and what is working for you and what is not, what you neeed help with, and and what you can help others with. we are tracking our progress and motivating each other, and learning from one another.

[madSano]

HEIGHT: 5'8"
WEIGHT: 269
WAIST: 40 (size pants)


My goal is to get down to 169 pounds and be completely ripped.

ABOUT ME:
I'm 22 years old and work construction with my father. I have both gained and lost weight throughout the years(as you guys already know)..
I'm working on a contest and have a mini competition with Carl(cawiau)
I'm recovering from acl reconstruction knee surgery and plan on joining a gym and do circuit training along with some light cardio.
Once I lose the weight, I'm going to expand my father's business and work on a corporation I started with my friends. We are doing real estate and are trying to make some money with that.
I also plan on going back to school to become a personal trainer(eventually) on the side..

I have many plans and I can't wait to get the ball rolling!

btw, my bodyfat % is around 30 and I want to be around 14 % within a year.
I love this website and look forward to changing my life for the better.
thanks for reading.

TBF, need more info, just let me know!
