Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

wow can't believe i only gained like 2-3 lbs in china, incredible since i had no reservations and ate like a pig. Back to it now. Went on a walk this morning after a lovely 4 hours of sleep, and will be getting subway for lunch/snacks

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

Very disappointing week considering how much cardio I put in. I was only down 1.4 lbs this week, but did pretty lousy on Sunday/Monday. Had a cookout on Sunday and just couldn't help myself from getting a burger, brat, and a dog. :( Yesterday was a challenge of sorts being on the road and having to eat out for 2 meals.

I've got to cut 13.4 lbs in 18 days if I'm going to make my goal before we go on vacation. I figure the last 11 days worth, I'll probably put in 3-3.5 hours/day split over 2 sessions each day if I'm going to have a chance to make it.

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

Awesome news, Ferdinand!:banger
Down 1.4 isn't dissapointing. Anytime a loss occurs it's a good thing.

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

It's disappointing in the sense that I was hoping for twice that. I'll just have to work that much harder this week on my intake and get in 90+ minutes cardio/day over the next week.

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

ran 20 km today! longest distance that i ever ran. i am up a little butexpectedit official numbers on sunday

Total loss - 37.3 lbs

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland

trying to get under 94kg this week. also trying todo a couple of 2adays this week.

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

i actually gained weight 95.8. i ran 4x15 km + 3 times to the gym. i didnt eat too healthy but thought i would loose at least a little bit.
i bought new running shoes asics gel kayano 16 + took them directly on a 15km run. got a couple of blisters because i didnt get used to them slowly....

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

Conga Rats Bro! I'm jealous!

Hey Andy.....
So I found this rope lying around, and used it to pull myself back on-the-wagon.
And now I’ve found my way back here! (I have some catching up to do! I think I’ll only read the last week or so....)

I'm back on the wagon, 1 week already.
Smaller meals, smaller intervals; a dose of Weight Watchers as well.....


The long story will come in another post shortly.

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

Can I borrow some of that rope? I weighed in for the first time since May or June and I'm at 271! That's the highest I've ever been. I feel like sh!t most days too. I'm gonna drown myself in my sorrows and alcohol tonight and grab the rope tomorrow. I have to make some decisions about what kind of regiment I want to do, both exercise and dietary. WW worked for me years ago, low carb hasn't done too much for me, and just counting calories with nutrimirror doesn't seem to do too much either. Maybe I'll go back to WW. I haven't been to the gym in 6mos. and my membership ran out. Maybe I'll just stick to home workouts, running, cardio, Wii Fit, etc...


Jesus Christ I knew I was getting bigger but I didn't know I was a fat ass...:td

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

@andysutherland: the problem with working out at home is that is so easy to skip a workout. i think kettlebells could be a good option for you.
i love chicken breast (tons of variety) and protein shakes (i use them as reward after working out ).
i dont like diets because most people do them for a couple of months, then quit + are suprised that they gained weight. i cheated myself on diets all the time. now i just eat what i want and if i didnt loose weight i eat healthier the next weeks + put more workouts in.

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

That, I agree with. But Weight Watchers (WW) is a learnign guide, to better understanding what and how much food you take in. It starts as a diet, but helps to develop better habits.

We stopped eating regularly, and controlling our portion size, and I'm back where I started... that's not true, I'm worse.

I'm too comfortable saying "I've lost weight, but it found me and brought friends."

We're back to paying attention, and we're already showing progress.

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

The word diet has been distorted in today's society. We are always on a diet. A diet techinically is what we eat on an everyday basis (a dumbed down definition). When someone goes on a "diet" they really mean that they are changing their diet for a short time.

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

cant get a good work out in up to 97kg. i have one week before my new job starts. Its much easier for me to eat good during work days.
i thought i could workout 2 a day but my body just got tired. i think about starting bjj because i hate the gym right now

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

up to 199 this morning with the week off and a lot of beers and BBQ. Hopefully be back to 195 in a day or two. Been holding steady at 192-195 for the last 3 months. Not bad from 247.

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

I have been away from this thread for a while. Ok I have been away from the board awhile.

My goal was to hit 215lbs and I accomplished that in June of this year. I was 212lbs and 14.5% body fat when I did a 226km bike ride. I was and am in pretty good shape now. I have put approximately 10lbs back on, some of that intentionally and some just good living over the summer.

I have kept my exercise up somewhat over the summer but now is time to get back at it. I want to put on some muscle weight and bring up my metabolism so that I can eat a broader range of calories and not worry about gaining weight.

Here is where I stared.

December 25th 2009 293 lbs.

http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/g...s2009-14-1.jpg

July 28th 215lbs doing something I haven't done in 20years.

http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/g...rfox67/Ski.jpg


Now I am cranking it back up again. Good eating combined with intense cardio, lifting and plyometrics. The goal is to put 15 to 20 good pounds (muscle) back on by Christmas.

Let me know how you are all doing out there................Where is Andy at ?

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

It's great to hear from you, Shawn! Awesome to hear you made your goal and in a very short period of time. Keep up the good work.:tu

I fell off the wagon over the summer but am working on getting back to 250 (which was my pre-summer weight). Once I get down to that weight, my next goal is 225.

It's about time you came back!;):)

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

I just signed up for three months of weightwatchers for men tonight. New program starts in the morning. I've been putting this off for far too long.

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

Great thread, I did the math a couple days ago and realized I turn 30 sixteen weeks from tomorrow. I'd like to lose 3lbs a week until I turn 30. That's really just a start but it would be a great one.

I'll focus on eating whole foods, lots of fruit, veggies, and lean protein. Exercise will include walking, working up to running, sit ups and push ups. I hate gyms and don't have room in the apt for weights.

Maybe run a contest here to motivate myself :D Looking forward to this change! It's so motivating to see others who have made a big change here!!

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

Ate good today and I feel full! Steak and green beans tonight.
Best of luck to you and congrats on deciding to make a change.

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

Thanks Andy, same to you. For anyone interested, I did post a contest to help motivate myself a little more...

Today was great, ate well and took a nice walk/jog.

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

Steak is on the menu again for breakfast and lunch. It's both filling and lean.:tu
BBQ chicken in the crockpot this evening and a beer or two with it.:tu Losing this way is fun.:)

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

Hey gang.
Fell off the wagon for a few days as we were 'vacationing' at Foxwoods.
- Fuddruckers for Dinner
- Festival Buffet for Breakfast (was reasonable)
- Hard Rock for Dinner (Granny Apple Burger)

Supplemented with a lot of walking, a 20 minute lifecycle bike 'ride' one morning, some walking, a swim in the pool and jac-a-ruzi, some walking...

Did I tell you that we did some walking????


Okay. Here it is.
1 month since starting to work on our eating (a.k.a. dieting)

Down 9.4, up 1.4 :(, down 1.6, down 2.8, down 1.4
All together, down 13.8!

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

I've been doing salads for breakfast lately, a great way to start the day. Tons of greens, hard boiled egg, chicken, veggies, fruits, nuts, leftovers, etc. Fills me up until lunch and is quick and easy.

Congrats on the 1st month Dan, down almost 14lbs in one month is great!

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

we are redoing our kitchen -->fast food. 97kg.

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

Just got back from an hour at the batting cages. Did both some hitting and some throwing. So far I'm on track to have a big first week on this program. I'll report back on Wednesday.

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

Gonna see if I have time to hit some fungos on the field at school today if I don't have to attend any meetings. Using baseball as exercise rocks! Tomorrow is my weigh in for the first week.

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

I'm still hangin around 220 something.
I haven't been doing much of anything, dietwise. I'm starting at least two new medications this month, and this neuro thing won't tolerate exercise.
It's easy to lose/watch my weight when I feel good, but pretty much impossible when I don't.
I have started back to drinking lots of water, that helps with both the weight and my overall health. I think it washes all the pill poison out of me. :tu

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

Water is your friend, Scott.:tu


I'm down to 271 this morning. That's a loss of 6lbs. Not great, but not bad. Need to pick up the exercise more heavily.
Cutting back on the alcohol couldn't hurt either I guess.:td

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

Well. Only down .2 today.

But it is down and not up! :tu

Seemed like a slow weekend, so I figured things weren't going to look great. Spent two days standing around watching and doing a little leg-work on the ground as my buddies stripped and reshingled a roof.

I need to make sure I get that walking in! Two-tenths is too-small!

Well, I'm now at 14-under.... :tu

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

Report in tomorrow for me. :gl Not any exercise this week but I feel a good one coming.

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

Evening fellows - ready for one more to join the party? Had the downer of the decade this morning when I weighed 269!
Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

Come on in! The water's nice and warm.:)









Today is my weekly weigh-in date. 265lbs. That's a total loss of 12lbs in two weeks. I didn't get in any exercise b/c of my sh!tty schedule but my dietary habits were spot on for the most part.

What's everyone else up to (or down to I should say)?

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

Back on my veggie and protien only cut diet. Headaches from lack of carbs stopped at 4 days. Already down a few pounds. Just didnt like running at 182. Need to get down to 168ish. Will document how long it takes. 176ish now. Not running as kind of hurt my foot and running so much.

Diet sucks boring as hell and wife says I have been a moody bish at the end of the day, but it works.
Todays breakfast eggs, spinach, salsa, cheese omlet. A little milk for 20 carbs.

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

Congrats on the loss Andy! I was reading through the thread and see a lot of myself in you and the others. I have been doing well for 1 day so far - it isn't easy as you well know. I will try and post weekly here the figures and am sure to look here to offer and receive encouragement.

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

Not the best week for me, but still monitoring intake. Got in a bit of exercise on the field today. I actually had to pair up with one of the players and warm up with them.

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

Its not easy Andy but you are out there giving it a shot brother. Tomorrow is a weigh in for me.

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

Let us know how it goes, Travis.:tu

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

Well its good news for week 1 - down 2.2 kilos or about 5 lbs.

I am happy though I know its easy the first couple weeks.

Had a sub and chips for lunch and a couple tacos for dinner - sounds like a lot but not bad for me...

Good luck to all and I will check in next week hopefully with a few more pounds off the total!

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

Depends on what type of sub you had, but a sub and tacos is pretty light.

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

Alrighty then!
I just realized that I forgot to drop in last week after weigh-in.

I've noticed that when I 'check in' on myself on Tuesdays, I'm always lighter than my Wednesday weigh-in.
(No, I'm not changing just to make it look better..........)


~~~~~~~~~~~~
Last week:
Down another 1.2 as official :tu
I was smack-dab at the Hundreds mark on Tuesday and was hoping to break passed it. Missed it by that much.
Came in exactly at the 01 mark.


~~~~~~~~~~~~
This week;
I was below 99 on Tueday morning, and was hoping for the best.

And this morning: http://www.rolandchayer.com/TheVanKa...RollSmiley.gif





Down 1.6 officially! :wo


I am officially below the first Hundred mark! http://serve.mysmiley.net/party/party0010.gif My first Step-goal! http://serve.mysmiley.net/party/party0010.gif

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

I just keep getting fatter and fatter.
I'm changing my whole diet again, and that'll help. I'm never home, always traveling, and that makes keeping a decent diet almost impossible.
I'm changing meds yet again, and hat always takes toll, cause it lays me out and I get no exercise at all.
I've been really pushing to raise my activity level, doing all sorts of stuff I'm not supposed to do, and I feel a lot better. It's taking a major toll on my back though.
Fortunately I see a new doctor soon to try and get that managed.
It's looking up!!! :tu

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

Stick with it Scott!
Don't give in, just because you know 'this part' is tough. Keep Fighting!

Push on the lunchtime salads, and water... lots of water.

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

This morning weighed in at 170, but that was before breakfast and I have been weighing with pants so I would say closer 172. 4lb drop from last week to this week. Not bad not great. I started running again so that helped because I had a few days of eating not so clean. Probably would have hit 6 pounds if I had kept the hardcore paleo/ modified keto diet going. Looks like I should break into the upper 160s by next week.

Scott I know it sucks eating clean when traveling but there are lots of little things you can do. I work patrol and even have a system for eating at fastfood places with minimal damage.

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

Mike and Dan, congrats on the loss! Mike, the first 100, that's awesome!:banger
Scott, hang in there.:tu


Weigh in today was at 263, a loss of 2 lbs. for the week. Not bad, but if I had tried, I could have done much better. It was a lazy week. Camping trip coming up this weekend for my anniversary. I'll probably not eat that great, but will get in some exercise to make up for it.

Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
 

We've been Camping every weekend, and still eating healthy. You can do it if you plan it that way.

Just for clarification, I'm just below the 100's mark... not lost 100... LOL! The way I read that the first time, I interpretted it wrong....
