I'm thrilled to let you guys and gals know that I broke into the 200's today! Officially at 298.0, a loss of 2 pounds, 15 ounces.
That's 119 pounds from my high weight of 417 at the beginning of the year, and 73 pounds away from my goal of 225. I'll post a before/after picture when I get a chance! Thanks for the encouragement, it's awesome. |

Dude that's awesome. I'm just a lurker, but that's a lot of hard work. You should be proud. |
Grats, CC!

Squatted 195 for three reps last night. New PR there. There's another girl at the gym who deadlifts 225 like I want to be able to. She was squatting across from me and asked me how much I was going to do when I was putting 10s on to get to 175. We talked for a few minutes. Deadlifts are just her thing, and she wishes she could squat better. Squats are my thing, and I wish I could deadlift better. She has little range of motion in her ankles though, where I will get better on my deadlifts. :) I want this chick's arms though. However, I did have a guy I dated compliment me on my back and shoulders once. Best compliment ever. :)

Silock - #1.5 on the sides and back - fade hair high - just print this out and take it to the beauty salon w/ you. :P Har har...

Also, thanks to going to the gym, I have a new appreciation for arms. Still not into the puffed looked, but if a guy has the nice, dense muscle tone....yeah.
I don't know if it's the fact that I wish I could lift more with my arms, making it a jealousy thing, but it's started to be the first thing I notice on a guy. |
So, I do have a question to pose.
I've lost a lot of weight fairly quickly. While it's starting to look better, this has left the "loose skin" or "pocket fat" in certain places like my tummy and inner thigh. I know it takes time to tighten that up. I'm just wondering if there's anything that will help? Water intake? Vitamin C? I've heard different things. Thought I would see what you all have to say. |
Finally worked my way back up to deadlifting 2x my bodyweight for 3 reps and pulling singles in the low 4's again. Hopefully my hip pain stays under control on deads because it's been feeling horrible on squats lately.

Weekly weigh-in...had a plateau week this week...just lost 3 ounces, which does bring me to exactly 120 pounds lost since the beginning of the year.
I worked my ass off this week...rode the mountain bike almost 30 miles on Saturday with 2,000 feet elevation climb, and only missed the stationary bike yesterday...but compensated for that by doing the Schmoney dance about 10 or 11 times during both the Chiefs and Royals games. Food was good, status quo. So I'll just press on, keep working, keep eating right, and hopefully see numbers next week. Weight is 297 and 13 ounces, down from 417. |
