"Fatty Bear"

You want to lose ONLY 15 pounds? Before I can even dream of enlisting, I have to lose 60. Guess you don't feel too depressed now.

60's a long road but still very achievable.

Here in Detroit we have a 10K on Thansgiving Day called the Turkey Trot. I'm going to try and run that this year.

If you've got something like that in your area you've got 8 months to train for it, and that would be 7.5 lbs a month to lose to hit that 60.

And if you've got 60 to lose, I wouldn't be suprised of you lost 5 of that just by upping your fiber to 20-25 grams a day. It won't be actual "fat loss" but it will make a differnce in how long/far you can run, and that's huge when you're trying to burn calories. And that's also assuming that running is part of the plan for enlisting. I hear they do alot of running in the military.

*Edit*

There's also the Mashed Potato Mile, but it's not really worthy of 8 months of "training".

(so) I haven't lifted weights in about a month and my eating habits have gotten significantly worse. I'm like a fat man trapped in a fat man's body all over again.

I'mma try to get down to 180 by the end of March.

Just posting in case there's any sympathy losers* that want to get on me for some accountability, I'll do the same for you, but you need some goals for me to help you track. Or you guys can just ride and ridicule me if I don't live up to my goal.

* by losers I mean fat losers, not weight losers or "loser" losers.

you're all winners in my book, I just want to be thinners in your book.

That may have been the stoopidest thing I ever typed. In fact, 2,000 blessings if you can bring forth something stoopider that I typed, contest ends March 31.

and Fatty-Bear is what my 4 year old neice calls her 22 pound cat.

I'm trying to tone up too. Going to the gym lots lately. You look cute in your pic though. I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Unless he's the tiger standing NEXT to the guy in the baseball hat... in which case I'd start to wonder... we're just *assuming* he's the one on the right.

 

[Eagle_Wings]

Alright...I'm in. I've been off and on a diet since last summer and I really need to get serious since boating/kneeboarding season is almost here! I've lost 10 lbs before and still could have lost more before I gained that all back, so I'll say I'm aiming for 15-20 lbs, although I'm really aiming for a specific look by the end of April.

(btw~ I agree with ChasingADream )

 

[tamtam92]

too bad for the game i don't have weight nor fat to lose. I eat french food and that's the best lol


Ahem maybe that's because i eat student's food too... lol so disgusting at times.

Beware of diabete !

LOL

I'm glad to know someone appreciates my pathetic sense of humor.

 

[kelco]

Just got back from the gym. Scale there says I've lost a pound.!

 

[JPPT1974]

Good for you my friend
That is great!

 

[eatenbylocusts]

I went to the gym today. My trainer gave me all of my paperwork today. She wants me to lose a total of 21 pounds-actually about 17 now.
It's rainy, cold and I'm starving now and eating leftovers out of the fridge.

 

[Spicy McHaggis]

I'm down about a half pound so far. I guess day one is a success!

Well with all this weight loss stuff that is going on I must be taking up some major slackthen.

For when G-d Created the Heaven and the Earth, He also created man and woman. He also created food. WHen He created food he also created fat (which He only made so much of, I might add).

So it seems that whenever someone looses a pound someone else must take up the "slack".

So that now explains why I have gained weight while I have been trying to loose it, by walking and watching what I eat. (thanks )

(stepped on the scales this morning and almost hit 270 )

I suppose I could gain a pound to let you lose one. LOL

Evie - you should still join, it doesn't matter how long it takes, maybe just set a small goal and work to achieve it

Thanks but I am not sure when I am going to be back on this site after the weekend as I am moving to Korea. I think that is going to be hard enough on my diet as I am not sure what foods are available over there but atleast I will be safe for Tim-Tams over there

I had never done crunches on a ball before. I do lots of crunches on the floor, but I'm hurting today. My legs are aching too. I had a massive headache today and didn't do any workout. I did manage to get to the store and bought some evil cookies (for my kids of course). But I had to try the cookies to make sure that they were edible because I am a caring mother.

 

[Spicy McHaggis]

Well, so by eliminating soda, increasing fiber/calcium and just generally eating less I'm at 194.5 this morning, so down about 3.5 pounds so far, since Sunday's weigh-in.

 

[JPPT1974]

Also drinking a lot of water
As well as eating more fruits and veggies!
