Weight Loss Thread

Recommended Posts

Weighed in a 217 this morning after Pound Class - Amy once again kicked my ass.  It's interesting being the only guy in the class with anywhere from 20-30 women, one of which, of course, is my wife. One woman said her husband was to embarrassed to come to the class - for me the embarrassment horse left the barn years ago!

 

It's one intense workout, but it does wonders for legs, thighs and core. 

 

Also had a prelim meeting with a personal trainer - we talked goals, etc. First session is next Saturday afternoon - can't wait to see what she comes up with. 

 

Yoga tomorrow - then two days of business travel. Will have to make sure to bring workout clothes.

 

Let's keep it going gang!!!

 

It's on like donkey kong now!   Glad to see ya hitch up to the old wagon and begin this journey. Every single one of us that finish  our goals will be in better shape, slimmer, and healthier for 2018.  Let's do this with passion!

 

You mentioned your wife hopping on board and my wife is also interested with what's going on with me.  She's now motivated with healthier choices for this year and beyond.  You never know what kind of positive influence your actions will have on others.

Proved what I thought cannot do elliptical, destroy knees so that out. Rowing machine for 15 minutes then weight machines except the ones that are weight bearing on knees & hips. Gonna work just fine. Did an hour and flew by. Going for 2nd time later today.

Weather breaking so will be at range tomorrow. Haven't hit a ball in 8 days!

Rowing machines are amazing. That is a good portion of my workout.

Well, weighed in and am at the same 204 as last week. I can see why, being sick and not working at Lowes means I come home and flop on the recliner hoping to die.

 

I'm on a z-pack now, so I should be getting better any day now....onward!

Z packs can, for some people make them tired but they do get rid of the “bad “stuff “.

Well got off to an awful start weighed in  at 282 on Friday, that was after  the  boss buying lunch all week, that included Meat Lovers Pizza, Five Guys and then Ribs on Friday.   Kill that noise, next week it's back to my salads or turkey sandwiches.   Although this Romaine lettuce scare is putting a cramp into those plans, just about every pre packaged salad I have been buying has some romaine in it.  Guess I' can get it off the salad bar and just pack it for myself for the week.  

 

Although a good weekend and working out three days in a row has me down to 280 as of this morning.  So gotta keep it headed back down.

Iceberg lettuce really has no nutritional value though

Pizza is a primary food group for me as well. Sadly it'll have to wait until I've reached my goals - so I won't see a slice til at least springtime.

Brutal sinus infection right now. Minimal work outs. Been doing light weights and yoga to keep me occupied.

Try Flonase, a Neti Pot, and a humidifier by the bed. I get the sinus infections constantly and this seems to have helped

I usually get them this time of year and spring. I do exactly what you said. Being so dang cold the past few weeks there is around 20% humidity, makes it worse.

3 per week on average is a very healthy way to lose weight, by losing it slowly you are more likely to keep the weight of as well.

Keep it up.
