Did U get fat this last winter?

[trebsdub]

22 lbs lost so far or 11.76 % within 5 lbs of my original goal of 160. Wife is telling me i lost enough already, will probly loss a couple more than just work on maintaining that weight of around 162. Hope everyone had a great Holiday weekend.

[ridindirty800]

Month 1 & 2 = 36lbs
Week 9 = 10lbs

Total= 46lbs ( 11.5% total body weight lost )

Had a great week, I think the Mid 90's helped me sweat away a lot this weekend and just really watched what I ate all weekend ad there were many parties and cookouts to go to.

I'm amazed at the scale this am for as much as I drank and ate, but I still stayed away from the sugar, with the exception of the beer. Maybe I'm just dehydrated from being on the boat in the sun.

2 lbs down, 4.69% total

[skutr]

Week 1: 177 lbs
Week 2: No weigh-in
Week 3: 183
Week 4 & 5: No weigh-in
Week 6: 177 lbs
Week 7: 176 lbs
Week 8: Holding steady at 176
Week 9: Still holding at 176

Update on my achilles tendon repair: I only need to wear the walking boot for another 7 days, 5 hours & 33 minutes. I cant't wait - its been so damn long since I felt normal and able to do the normal everyday things that everyone else gets to do (like wear two shoes) that it's hard for me not to do more than I should.

I was amazed when i got on the scale after the 4 day weekend . lost 4.2 this week.

[Go Fast or Go Home]

Graduated High School in 1967 and weighed 185 pounds. I'm now 63 years old and still weigh 185 pounds. Never varied more than 2 pounds one way or the other. Only problem is, what used to be upper body muscle has settled South.

I can still fit into a 32 pant size, but 34s feel better, however--I buy 35s.

Week 1: 177 lbs
Week 2: No weigh-in
Week 3: 183
Week 4 & 5: No weigh-in
Week 6: 177 lbs
Week 7: 176 lbs
Week 8: Holding steady at 176
Week 9: Still holding at 176
Week 10: 175

Has it been 10 weeks since we started this? Wow - it seems like my life is divided into BAR (before achilles rupture) & AAR (after achilles rupture).

My next doctor visit is this week Thursday and I expect that I get to take the walking boot off and start wearing two shoes. The walking boot is starting to get in my way.

I started a blog on a website devoted to people who ruptured they're achilles and when I look back I'm amazed at what I can do now compared to 9 weeks ago. http://achillesblog.com/skutr/

See ya next week & keep the faith

very slow progress but still shrinking, 194 minutes ago

Not a bad week considering all the parties (Mem Day, graduation and a couple big B-Day ones) Dropped some even when I wasn't sure I would. I'm a couple weeks behind most of you but here is my chart.

Week Weight Net
1 250
2 241 9
3 236 5
4 233 3
5 231 2
6 228 3
7 222.5 5.5
8 219 3.5

That gives me a total of 31. Feel good about it, now on to the next goal by July 4th!

Well I missed last Monday due to a mini vacation, so this week I'm checking in with a 1 1/2 pound loss. I should be smiling but I must say 10 plus weeks have gone buy and all I've lost is 3 1/2 pounds gggrrrrr. I've been moving tons of mine rock for the past week and I do mean tons, Dave delivered me 9 tons for my gardens and that's almost done, then at the cabins I have a dry river, which actally works as a real one in the spring, this is at our entrance and one of the areas that get's my blood preasure up in the winter as people like to tear up this area which they don't realize is all mine rock until they tear it up, which makes extra work for me. So that has been my exercise for the past few weeks,and I am trying to cut back on sugar, but I am a sugarholic and I admit it, should go to a meeting but just can't at least not yet! It's so nice to see the winners and losers and those like me just pecking away little by little, but hey I'm down not up!

[ridindirty800]

After the big 10lb drop last week I was very happy with 4.4 lbs loss. Many times when I had a big drop I stayed the same or even gained a little the following week or 2. Hopefully I will continue to take some off this week.

Week 10- 4.4 lbs
Total - 50.2 lbs (12.5% total weight loss)

[lvr1000]

I am two days late on the weigh in because of a 2-1/2 day divisional meeting = no exercise, lots of great food, little sleep, and all the beer and drinks you can handle. Oh, and did I mention, ALL FREE! Needless to say, I didn't loose any weight...we will leave it at that. There is always next week.

[lenny]

I weigh myself 4 times each Mon and take the average because it is a digital scale and the first time I got on was 191.5 and I was like yahoo!!!!!!!! But the next 3 were 193, I am okay with that. Looking in the mirror I still have a ways to go.

[garyl62]

Well the week started out great, decided I needed to start doing some walking if I wanted to keep dropping the pounds and things went well for a couple days, then took a "diet off day" for Saturday and went out for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Needless to say that didn't help. Still not bad, but I need to work hard at it this week.

For the record here are my numbers as I start week 9, 216 as of 6/11/12, lost 3 for the week, 34 total after 8 weeks, and thanks to skutr's spreadsheet I now know my "total body fat loss" is 13.6%

Lets keep it going everyone, these are some good weeks to stick to it before the big parties around the 4th of July next month!

[ridindirty800]

Week 11 - 1lb loss
Total = 51.2 (12.8% total weight loss)

[lvr1000]

Oh, and did I mention, ALL FREE! Needless to say, I didn't loose any weight...we will leave it at that. There is always next week.

^^^ At least I'm back to my weight of 2 weeks ago, so I really can't count the weight I lost this past period.

[pwolfy2003]

last week gained 1.2 this week lost 1.2 gotta get more serious and dam graduation parties are killing me.

[garyl62]

Had a good week even with Fathers Day out to eat with the family. Kept up the walking each night, and my wife even got me a new pair of tennis shoes for Fathers day to walk in. As of this morning, 211, lost 5 for the week, total of 39. I had a goal of 210 my July 10 which would be 40 pounds by my 50th birthday. Decided to really work at it between now and then so now I'm going for 200 by that day. New goal is "50 by 50"!

This is going to be a hot week here so lets all get out and burn some calories and we can all have a good week.

[loriwlrc]

up, down, up ,down, this week up, first words out of my mouth this am I quit! Second words can't be a quitter, I'm doing more excercise then ever, eating less,but getting no where,I was 10 days with out sugar and then I broke, had to have a payday. Oh well wiped the tears and got off the pitty pot, today is a new day, I'm starting at 2 pounds more then my 1st. day uuuugggghhhh : (

[Grant Hoar]

Well, I too am back down to only 2 pounds over my starting weight.

One the bright side, starting to come back down, so headed in the right direction now. Confident now that the progress will continue

[ridindirty800]

week 12 - 6.6 lbs
3 month total = 57.8 lbs (14.45% total body weight)

[lvr1000]

down 2, 12 total, 5.63% overall

[skutr]

Week 1: 177 lbs
Week 2: No weigh-in
Week 3: 183
Week 4 & 5: No weigh-in
Week 6: 177 lbs
Week 7: 176 lbs
Week 8: Holding steady at 176
Week 9: Still holding at 176
Week 10: 175
Week 11: No weigh-in. Sorry, I forgot
Week 12: 175

That makes for 5 or 6 weeks at 176 or 175. I think I'm going to have to start paying even closer attention to what, when & why I'm eating or drinking. I don't think the beer or the grilling & smoking experiments are helping on the weekends. But what else is a guy supposed to do when he's got a bunch of beef in the smoker for 4-5 hours?

Blessings to all & keep the faith,
Scott (Skutr)

[pwolfy2003]
