Ohiobucks Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Congrats! Are you doing any sort of diet? If so, what? I am going to have to change mine up after this week and am wanting some ideas from others that are loosing weight. Missed this one, sorry....I have just cut back on everything, especially lunches. I used to eat chinese food all of the time, burgers, etc. Pretty much no more fast food, no pop/soda to speak of either. I'd imagine if I started using the treadmill, I'd get to 225 a lot quicker. 237 this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 I'm still in it. Didn't weigh this morning, will do before I eat lunch. I am afraid of what the scales will read. After 8 days of camp food, I may be back at square one. Will we see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 This is starting out as a tough week. I am getting a lot of cravings for bad foods which is making me super hungry when I am not normally hungry. I am downing a lot of water during these times to cut the cravings but its killing me. I also am not seeing any change in the mirror and that is discouraging me but I do have to punch a new hole in the belt tonight or tomorrow. I also got on the scale this morning and I was at 225 even. How I gained 1.6lbs baffles me. I hope I can figure something out and reach my goal of 220 on Monday. Sometimes I just want to cave in and make a big fat juicy bacon egg and cheese biscuit with gravy. See, there is one of those stupid cravings and I just had a turkey sandwich on whole wheat with hot sauce and a side of pineapple. Dang this week! Dang these cravings! Dang it all!!!! Oh, and beer. I want beer, many of beers, but I am staying strong....I think.....Gotta go run or do something now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Well, after that last post, I went for a 2 mile run/walk followed by a 30 minute nonstop upper body workout. By the time I was done I wanted to die. No food after that workout, only a glass of water. This morning I weighed and was up another 1.6lbs. I am at 226.6lbs now instead of the 223.6 I was at Sunday night. This sucks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92xj Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Beats me. I know since I drink so much water throughout the day that I have never really seen an increase or decrease with weight when I intake water. Even after I sweat like a champ or drink a gallon of water, my weight stays the exact same. As for muscle, I am not sure it grows that fast and as sure as poo dont feel any stronger. I know I am gaining a little muscle mass but mainly doing my lifting and high pace workout to get my heart rate up for some cardio building. I am unsure of what's going on, but I know I will be off the scales until Monday morning. I have been very strict on my diet and will continue to be. I will also do my hour long workout with a run every night this week. Then plenty of walking and exercise this weekend while I duck hunt. Carrying in 3 dozen decoys on my back, 3/4 mile walk, setting decoys in waders and retreiving birds in waders is a dang good workout.

92xj Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 I am keeping this alive. This morning I was at 224.4. point 8 lbs heavier than I was last week. Which baffles me but oh well. I was strict on my diet and excercise and how I gain weight, I will never know. I plan to change a few things up this week, so I hope that shocks my body back into weight loss mode. My plan/goal for next week is under 220. What is going to kill me is on next Monday I fly to Vegas for the week. Hopefully I can find the gym at the hotel to use and try and not gain too much weight there. Anyhow. I am kinda bummed that I did not go down this week, but I am at that wall I guess. Head up and keep trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Forgot to post Monday, busy I guess. I was 252 the other day. I imagine I'm going to gain 1 or 2 this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92xj Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Just got back from a week in Vegas right after Thanksgiving and now getting ready to head down to South Carolina for two weeks. The workouts have stopped these last two weeks so I will be starting back again December 29th. I am actually going to enjoy Christmas and eat my Granny's awesome southern food. Then after Christmas I have no plans for vacation or family visits so it will be back on the diet and excercise hard core. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92xj Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Alright. Now that the over eating of 13 days in the South is over, I am at it again starting this morning. Going to weigh every Monday and see what happens. 232.4lbs. Gained 8 lbs with Thanksgiving, Vegas and Christmas. It was well worth it!

The_Kat Posted January 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 I've dropped alot of weight but this night shift has stopped my workouts. I'm down to 189 since Jenn left. I gotta get back to working out somehow or I'm gonna turn into a toothpick lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Not sure of my weight right now, waiting till Monday morning to weigh again. I just had a huge southern style breakfast after duck hunting, but other than that this week has been loaded with protein and lettuce/salads. Feeling dang good.

The_Kat Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 weighed in at 185.....thats 20lbs down in 8 weeks! Now I just gotta start lifting and toning it back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 232.4 last week, 226.6 today. I did not plan to drop that much in one week and have been eating a TON of protein, shakes, bars and meat everyday, with one day during the week splurging and eating biscuits and gravy, bacon and eggs. It was dang good. I am going to do the exact same thing this week plus a few beers for a friend birthday party on Saturday. We will see what next Monday brings. I want to hit 205 bad!

MCH Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Will probably start posting again here pretty soon. A bunch of people in the area are starting a weight loss contest the 17th. They're giving away prizes, too. Anyway, with my 20 year class reunion coming up, I'm gonna work real hard to win first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 So I hit the gym hard today.....too hard. I started off running, and then did a typical day 1 p90X routine of pushups and pullups mixed with more running. Not even through the first round of pullups I had to hit the trash can and dispose of some green stuff in my stomach. I made it the rest of the way weakly. After my workout I went and sat in the sauna for 7 mins and thats when the dizziness and nauseau set it. I barely made it out of there. I felt like I was gonna pass out and went into a cold sweat and then just stopped sweating and couldn't breath. Not sure what happened but after hugging my knees for about 10 mins I rebounded and called it a night. This is gonna be a tough road to get back into....I think it's the cold air affecting me but I dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 259 this morning! What the heck? Been on the treadmill a lot, and I'm also hitting the soloflex, but gain of 4, in a week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Typical for weight gain after a good loss. Also could be turning fat to muscle in your legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
