Three more pounds off this morning: 182 :eek:

7 lbs off in 8 days.

Cheat day tomorrow. PBJPBJPBJ

Planned: apple fritters, candied bacon wrapped smokies, ham and cheese sandwiches, pot stickers, extreme moose tracks ice cream.:drool:

Awesome! Almost a pound a day!

i was on phen-fen for years and all it did was maintain my weight...

i started at 376 a couple of years ago and got down to 308 before going back up to 335...

so put me down for a starting weight of 335...

396?

i started at 398 a few years ago...

we've lost it before, we can lose it again, eh?

Have not weighed in two weeks. Lifting has totally messed up weight vs fat loss correlation in my head. But...Have gone from tight 38 waist jeans to 36 comfy since Dec 6.

Started at 210 now down to 208. Insanity kicks your behind!

Down 16 pounds for the year.

258

I haven't lost much weight but I have noticed that I am leaning out a bit. Bleh.

Only one pound off this week down to 181.

I gained back 2 lbs between Saturday and Sunday last week (I was probably a little dehydrated when I clocked in at 182 last Saturday). Added 2 more pounds on my cheat day. I dropped own to 183 within a couple days and held steady there until this morning's weigh in. A lot of up and down along the way, but I'm still down 8 lbs overall.

179, down 10 pounds.

Just weighed in at 191.8...down 8 lbs for the year so far, not bad.

I started at 294.6 on Jan 1, 2012, and the last time I weighed I was 198 or something, so this is the first time I've noticed that I'm 100 lbs down from the beginning of last year.

Broken ankle is healing pretty well, hopefully I can get back to sports/heavy lifting soon.

251.3 - Down 7 lbs. Using the smoking method of slow and low. LOL! Nah illness and job demands have cut into my exercise time. Feeling better now and ready to get back into the gym groove.

190 even today.

1 more lb until I'm considered healthy by the BMI standard.

BMI is the dumbest shit in the book if you workout. I have had to write letters to my insurance company when they decide to classify (overweight) me by this standard and tell them how ****ing stupid it is for people who lift weights.

Yeah, BMI is a joke, I know. Even the military uses it to determine if you're overweight...stupid. If you come in "overweight", they measure your waist and your neck and figure out the ratio between them to see if you're fat or not lol.

That being said, this happened today.

239 - down 12.6 pounds for the year. (listed under I Am The Walrus)

Wow. I am 5'11". If I got down to 140 I would look like a ****ing corpse.

I am trying to get down to the 190/200 range.

Don't kid yourself. I thought 230 would be good for my height and when I got there I was still fat. Then I did the same with 200. I have a solid 10 lbs or so left at this point.

Up to 247, not good at all.

Down to 206 from 225 as of this morning.

FUUUUUUUUUUU

179.

Only down 2 pounds for the month of February. Didn't really change anything. However, didn't exercise. I think i'm getting to the point where I won't be able to lose much more weight without exercising.

Yep. I thought 175 would be fine when I was 250 lbs. Now i'm 179 and realize i've got a long way to go.

254. February sucked for me.

how tall are you?

Yeah but your body was probably compensating for that January you had.

248.0 this morning.


I'm doing work

I just started a cut trying to get down to probably the 170-174 area from where I'm at now. Right now I range about 178-183.
Posted via Mobile Device

I'll weigh in tomorrow. I forgot to weigh myself this morning.

Not a good month. Haven't exercised in 3 weeks. Weight steady at 209.6.

5'8

Yeah you are probably right. Still discouraging, hopefully March is better.

Jan 1 - 199.8
Feb 1 - 191.8
Mar 1 - 187.6

1 month loss- 4.2 lbs
Total 2013 loss- 12.2 lbs

I'm going to start a spreadsheet for those who want to see our comparisons

176 today, down 13 from January 25th.

Sounds sweet!

Do you have mad Excel skills?

Insane.

Does anyone do a low carb diet, except for fruit in the morning?

I'm almost to maintenance....so I wanted to see about eating fruit in the morning, once a day. Would I insta-bloat?

Feb sucked for me so I didn't even bother weighing. I've got the plan figured out though so March should be better.

This is for you Buck.

Yum. Probably wicked overpriced.

I picked up some at Sams Club. 3 bags for $8.

Never noticed this thread, probably to late to join in but I just started today. 180 lbs, mostly gut. I'd like to get down to 170 but replace the gut with muscle.

Looking for a ton of low carb recipes to try?

http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/

I came in at 185 yesterday morning. Still rolling along pretty well.

I think 175 might be where I start maintenance. I don't have much left to lose.

I've been back on since January(except for weekends) and even though I've snuck some chocolates here and there and have in no way given up my Blvd. Wheat beer have still dropped 20 lbs.

In other words as a veteran of low carb just be sensible,take a day or two a week and have a few things you're really wanting,if like me you'll be fine.

Yep. Surely that banana will go straight to your thighs.

What do you mean by 'replace the gut with muscle'? Losing fat and building new muscle at the same time is almost impossible unless you are either a beginner to lifting, or have assistance from drugs. It's a pretty simple formula, calories in vs calories out. Calories in < calories out, you lose weight, and vice versa. The one constant in your diet needs to be protein. The other macros you adjust depending on how active you are. Sedentary desk job, not much lifting, then lower the carbs and up the dietary fat. If you work out and lift a lot, lower the fat and increase carbs as your body cannot build new muscle in the absence of insulin. Its the body's most anabolic hormone next to testosterone and to avoid it while lifting is reeruned.

lol, holy shit, these guys are great. a whole channel bout fastin'

I got shitrocked on Friday night and ate 6500+ calories on Friday/Saturday.

Up 5 lbs for the week...I think I dropped out of Keto because I drank like 5 beers.

Not 100% sure. Back on the grind.

Not a good February for me. Didn't even bother weighing in on 3/1. Weighed yesterday at 247, so only up 3 pounds from my previous low. Time to get back on track.

You didn't know about the Hodgetwins?

Those guys are ****ing great.

DO WHATEVER THE **** YOU WANNA DO!

This a good deal?

Coconut oil for $7?

I don't know if that is some sort of super-coconut oil or something, but that is kind of expensive for regular coconut oil.

God, it sucks gaining weight so easily, doesn't it?

Coconut oil at my grocery store is $9.99 for a jar.

Yeah, it's typically a 30-32 ounce jar, though. The one you linked was 16.

Shit....I didn't see that. Thanks.

I knew what I was doing when I did it, but I won't binge like that again for a while.

It was nice to eat as much as I wanted for a couple days though. Expensive too.

Made it 5 miles on the treadmill yesterday for the first time since I've started running again. Not a very clean 5 mile run, but better than nothing. I'll do 5 miles 3 times a week for the next 2 weeks, then maybe bump her up to 5.5 for a week or two before reaching my goal of 6 miles a time, 3 times a week.

So you're saying cardio one day, weights the next won't make my gut smaller while building my arms and chest? I've already done this routine in the past and that's exactly what happened. I think you're over thinking this.

9 days in.....10 lbs down.

This is turning into a year of fail so far, for me. In the weight loss arena at least.

Whats the best IF strategy? 24 hrs eating and then 24 hrs fasting, or eating 8 hrs out of 24 like the hodge twins do?

The longer you can fast the better.

Tends to lose effectiveness after 36 hours though.

Cool, thanks. I tried IF for about a week before. Some days I could do it and some I couldn't get through more than a few hours before I had to eat.

I give myself a 6 hour eating window. I can eat between 2pm and 8pm.

Put on forty since Jan 1. Depression sucks guys and gals. Divorce, prison, go figure.

I used to do a version of Fasting where I would stop eating around 6 pm on Thursday night and then not eat til breakfast on Saturday morning, so I think it was just over 36 hours.

Once a week, fabulous results. I was a tub of lard though, so I don't know if the results are typical.

On another note, I already lost all the weight I gained this weekend. I must have been out of keto and retaining water because it's already all gone. 6L of water a day will flush you out.

Did you carb load at all?

Drank about 5 pints of beer.

I meant when you were in keto.....initially starting to lose the weight.

LMAO

Oh.

Nope. Strict Keto 24/7.

175, mother****ers.

Buck do you IF and low carb at the same time?

That's what I thought...

Bravo. I'm at 185...but it's the end of the day and I always weigh first thing in the morning, so probably more like 184. IM GONNA CATCH YOU BRO.
Not anymore. I don't fast at all. Used to.

Have you done that though? I bet that would just obliterate fat cells.
