Weight Loss Thread

[kardboard.kid]

So I have this app on my phone six pack in 30 days, that I finally started.   OH BOY AM I SORE!  my son the marine reminded me that pain is weakness leaving the body.  Didn't know I was that weak.  Hopefully this will relate to weight loss and muscle gain. I would like to loose 10-12 lbs.  Just want to feel healthier.

What's important is that you're making a change and have a goal in mind. Stick to that goal in the best way possible but allow for some setbacks if things don't go your way. 

 

What's not important is if you can get a 6 pack...because genetics have a HUGE factor in the body's overall composition. Also remember that healthy and fit and not one in the same and the folks that have a 6 pack are usually either starving themselves of carbs, working out excessively, or are fortunate enough to have good genetics and naturally shredded. Some folks will kill themselves in the gym for rock hard abs yet they don't factor in that their parents naturally carry weight around their midsection and sometimes the body just won't allow for a lean stomach. I don't want to give you excuses right off the bat, but sometimes things out of your control dictate your body shape. 

 

Keep posting updates with your progress...that's what this thread is for!

Stay away from the hot dogs and natchos

1 hot dog, 2 beers and a pretzel with cheese - not my finest hour but my first hot dog since January. I'm back on track today.

Oh and this Ball Park is the bomb. We will be back - this is on the Revs must do.

 

Summer trip to Miami, fall to the Appalachians, winter to the time share on the beach and a wild card vacation.

 

Works for me

Good to see everyone dropping some weight. Will make life easier that's for sure. And you won't feel bad slipping in a bad meal once in a while.

That particular restaurant is pretty much a Sports Bar and the Philly is best item on menu. Also got to watch Chris Sale pitch awesome, good night

So I'm super late to posting an update since I first piped up and said I would get back to be healthy.

 

I have always battled consistency in my journey to not be a complete fat ass. I either go all in crazy work outs, rigid diets, strict measurement goals etc. or am all about the fried food, cake, and laziness.

 

I was inspired by a video at work today where one of our leaders talked about his guidelines for wellness and it was a nice wake up call that all of this is in my control and is actually supposed to take time. So today, for the first time in 4-5 months I walked 10k steps and ate relatively well. I'm calling that a win and am now looking to form a winning streak. Here's to tomorrow and the next step to being consistent.

Two days in a row of 10k steps. Small changes that are in my control is my current focus.

Back off a 15 day vacation, which included a couple days with my daughter, my 50th High School Reunion and a Little Golf with my Hgh School bud. Looked at the scale today and I am at 194. Not bad for two weeks without excercise.....gotta get back on the bike.

I had an incredible weight loss day.

 

1. I bought my first new pair of pants. You might think, about time after 35 lbs., but that shows how tight my pants had gotten.

 

I was in 40's. I'm in 36's now. And they were very comfortable. I still I'm looking at 7 more lbs. I was a 32 in college but a 34 from 25 to 40. I would be great at 34.

 

2. One of the bag guys at the club said, “Man have you shed the pounds Rev. You look great!”

 

3. And even though I went to Miami and sampled lots of great food including a hot dog and 3 beers at the ballgame - I weigh less today than Monday before I left.

 

Oh yeah and I hit the piss out of the ball on the range - I was carrying my driver all around the flag that I thought was 210 - that would be good enough - when I shot the flag it was 217 - if I can carry driver 217 plus consistently at sea level my handicap will plummet.

 

I'm holing putts too. Sub 1 suddenly seems possible again.

That's great! I think your one of the “poster boys” for weight loss on this thread.

I've gone from 42 to 40 and 38 is on the horizon.

My 42 pants are now very lose and I don't want to buy new pants until I get to 250 or these don't fit at all

I'm the same way. My 42s are getting baggy but my 38s aren't quite there yet. Hopefully when I reach 290ish I can move into 38s

I wish I'm at 290 and can only fit into 40s right now. I'm also built a lot different than most.

I am too, I'm pretty shocked that I'm this close to 38s and still in the 3s. I thought I'd have to be around 250 to see those sizes.

Keep at it if I can get under 300 so can you. This thread has been a great place to come for bragging and for some morale boosting when not having the best day.

Found a set of scales this evening. In my gym gear I'm 88.9 kg or 196 lbs. I'm happy with that another couple of kgs off would be good.

Down to 306 today. That's 6lbs down so far since starting Weight watchers. Pretty pleased with myself seeing as I haven't been able to workout as much as I'd like cause of some foot pains

[MattF]

After Saturday's beer and sausages day I gained...but that's OK.

Gym work outs and my shoulder are feeling great. Losing weight going not so well. Was 199 a month ago and now I'm 212 . The more I'm getting range of motion back and able too lift more . The more I'm starving when I get home and I'm eating everything . I was going to try an online weight loss program. It costs $500 for 8 months.This gives you daily email contact with the instructor and an dedicated diet just for you

 

Think I should try it ?
