Biggest loser on CF.....

[GQ Chris]

Bud? Oh man, that is sacriligous, lol j/k

I think the beer thing may be an urban myth, because its about the amount of calories you take in. I make sure to not go crazy on my food portions.

 

[GQ Chris]

The sugar monster no longer rules me!! HAHAHA!!

 

[Riot Riot Riot]

How does this thing work? Do we just report our starting weights or what?

 

[Wren]

This is just a weight loss (and/or fitness) support thread. No contest was ever started.

 

[Riot Riot Riot]

Oh. Well then in that case,

I've lost 1 inch off my waist and 2 inches off my hips.

 

[Wren]

Congrats!

I've lost a bunch of weight, but I don't disclose numbers.
Since January, I've gone down two dress/pants/whatever sizes, though.

 

[Riot Riot Riot]

That's GREAT!!!

I don't think I've gone down any clothing sizes, but I have toned up. I wish I had a job to take some ballet classes, even though I'd be an absolute beginner. Haha

 

[Wren]

Thanks.

Toning up is good. I'm working on that too. Part of my workout routine involves weights and other toning exercises.

I'm thinking about starting the Couch to 5K plan. It might take me longer than 9 weeks. I'm NOT a runner.

 

[Wren]

Good luck. I hear (on another forum) that plan works well for people who don't run, but want to. I'm not good with plans that are too structured, so I just mix in running with walking as I feel like it.

 

[Keri]

I need structure or I'll get sidetracked or lose interest and quit.

I was running 4 days a week for a while. But it just started to hurt my hip too much. So now I just do cardio DVDs and they seem to be working just fine.
Keep up the good work, everyone!

My calorie intake went from 2,500 to 1844. Plus my job involves a lot of walking, 2hours a day. My goal is to lose 37 pounds. I lost 3lbs this week.

 

[GQ Chris]

ran 3 miles and sprinted flights of stairs for 20 minutes afterwards.

 

[broken_one]

Weighed in post-illness at 183 (clothes on, during the day)...the "target weight" is 178. So I need to get back to the gym ASAP. But this is good.

 

[FaithPrevails]

I've recently lost 17lbs and have quite a bit more I would like to lose. I'm thinking about joining weight watchers with my sister, but might keep going it on my own if the weight keeps coming off.

I did a tour of a really cool health facility in a hospital next to my work. It was really cool actually. It has a pool and I love swimming laps. I believe it will be the winner! It has already gotten hot and humid here. Heat drains me completely and nearly makes me ill even if I drink water. This situation has officially pushed me to getting a gym membership so I can finish losing my excess weight.

I know the "contest" part of this thread never happened, but I am truly happy to see that people are using this thread for encouragement and accountability. I am really happy people can come here and ask questions and get helpful tips and hints.

I know how to lose weight and how to do things right. I was a PE/Health major in college so the head knowledge part is easy. My biggest obstacle has always been my motivation to actually do it.

Well, I recently have found someone who makes me want to get healthy so I can be there for her for lots and lots of years. We have been taking walks together and helping each other make healthy food choices.

Basicly, I just want to encourage everyone to find someone to work out with and keep you motivated. For me, it is a romantic relationship, but that is not the only option. Find that work out partner.. It makes it so much easier!

Apparently the weekend went well. This post needs a "like" button!
