its that time again.
[details=Spoiler]well the 100 degree weather raped me so I didnt work out once. but I are less, on average 1.5 meals around 2000 calories. …
I still lost some circumference ww ight but only 》1/4 of an inch on hips chest and waist. ao I essentially flat lined. [/details]
Yeah, I kinda flatlined too. The initial push was successful and I’ve managed to stay steady, but I haven’t lost any more weight. It’s been hard- work conference in Austin, then Moms came to visit last week, I’m going to a cabin in WY over Memorial day weekend coming up, then a week in CO to visit the GF’s folks. It’s gonna be difficult to keep a routine and diet with so much traveling.
Yeah I know I sound like a dickweed making exuses, but there it is. Hopefully I can make a final effort during the last leg of the comp to get to my goal. When is the end date anyway?
I’ve been messing up lately on account of a bad breakup. Pizza and alcohol helped me get through it but I’m slowly getting back on track. I’ll be back down to 175 in no time if I keep my head out of my ass lol
3 more weeks then i can run to freedom…
thing is that it’s not de motivation. in hot weather I hate doing any type of strenuous activity since I get massive migranes
Aaaah, I’ve been bed ridden first by sickness then one of my disk started rubbing against my right sciatic nerve. Thankfully, that stopped but I’m gonna take it easy this week.
Riding my bike more than doing fitness stuff lately, but I have been getting close to what I used to do in the military as far as push ups and sit ups goes. Haven’t smoked a cigarette in a couple weeks now and feeling a little better because of it.
well, this week was good.
[details=Spoiler]I increased my HIIT routine from an average of 45 min to an average of an hour. it feels like I just started again with the extra 15 min, and my back is sore. But that’s OK, that means a stronger core and back. I do need to make my neck stronger though, because laying down and lifting my neck gets me tired fast. And i’m doing forearm stretches, feels nice and has helped with plyometrics.
As for diet, I’ve simply eliminated excess snacking, and I am simply eating around 2500-3000 calories per day. It may seem like a lot, but the weight is still dropping, and there is no significant loss of strenght that I usually get when I only eat ~2000 calories a day for an extended period of time. So Ill take the slow weight loss if it means my strenght grows. Obviously, one could get stronger through phsysics by dropping the weight allowing for more repetition of plyometrics, but if you can do 50 push ups at your current weight instead of 10, ill take the 50.
It also makes more sense to establish eating habits at that level, since that’s what I usually eat. Once I lower the intensity, I’ll lower the total calorie input by 500 calories.
And at somebody my height, 2000 calories makes me feel lethargic. Maybe it’s a mental thing, maybe it isn’t. More experimintation is needed afterwards.
But so far so well, size 38 jeans fit well, now size 36 fit comfortably. So that’s great.
chest 41.25 inch -> 41 inches
biceps 14.75 inch -> 15.75 inches (haven’t measured this for three weeks, so that could explain it still feels like to much)
waist 42 inch -> 41 inches
Only worked out 4 out of 7 days, it should be 6 out of 7, but the increased load has me more sore than usual.

Coke Zero tastes amazing, for something that’s supposed to substitute the taste of regular Coca Cola.
I’ve always wanted to say that.
Damn, missed it.
Reddit ( i dnt go there) has one too I hear.
they have 3 division.
Weight loss
Cutting
bulking
you guys should really read the Reddit FAQ and even the /fit/ off 4chan. (beginners)
Not going to knock any1 for wanting to better the physic, but be careful of trainers and bro-science.
Well guys i had hopes id get into this, but sadly i havent made much progress since the challenge started. I have no excuses and no one to blame, i just didnt apply myself. I really want to change my self for the best but i really got to start from ground zero. Ill def. work my hardest when i can get my head into the game. As of now its just not heppening…
I didn’t officially get in on this but I am the same way as you. I am really disgusted with how fat I am, and also less girls want to have sex with me now. But sex was also one of my greatest sources of cardio, so I am in a bit of a bind. I am having trouble losing this weight, it just doesn’t seem to come off. I understand now why people stay fat, I used to think the fatter you are the easier it is to lose weight, but I was wrong. It’s easiest to lose weight when you are either just a little bit overweight or not really overweight at all but just have muscle. It is very hard when you don’t have that muscle anymore and have a lot of fat.
You can’t play sports or run really, there’s little you can do for a decent amount of time because your body just can’t handle it.
My shoulder at least seems healed up, a little. But I don’t know if that will really help. It’s tough to get into a good routine and keep at it when it takes at least a month or two before you would see any physiological results.
Diet is like 70 percent of weightloss, and for me it’s a lot harder to eat healthy than to exercise. But you really need a good balance of both.
If you want to get fit you have to actually make diet and exercise a TOP priority. Too many of you guys are using things like long-stay guests, conferences, party’s, breakup’s, etc. as excuses, when they should not be. Diet and exercise comes first, then all the other things that life throws you…and yes, even exams. If you’re studying right, you don’t have to spend ALL day and NIGHT studying and taking exams ALL WEEK LONG (and this is from a guy who worked and went to college full time).
For example, stop eating your relatives unhealthy cooking. They will be upset, but they will get over it. At conference meetings, don’t chow down on the donuts and cookies. Get a salad and a lean protein, or bring your own shit. This is what you do when you put diet and exercise FIRST.
If you don’t then you’ll never meet your goals.
This is exactly what I had to do to lose the 150 lbs I lost. Some of people in my social circuit got butthurt over my stubborn determination, but in the end, they all got over it, and I’m alive today to talk about it.
well its day to check up. so everything is go I fine, but I feel like I haven’t lost enough weight. even though ive lost couple inches id like to do ot faster. and my weakest link is diet. im not pigging out, and incorporating more vegetarian and less sugar. but it could be better. im just eating better versions of what I eat, but less of it. it just seems suistanable oover the long run. but I want this more so.
so ima diet properly to maximize weight loss for two months. the ball is already rolling, this shouldnt be hard.
I like to eat but im trying to subsitute more portions with water but my body refuses to cooperate but that means I just work out that much harder
ive made some progress but alas it could be better, I will say this second has been better than my first
A wise man once told “its like eating a whale, just gotta take it one bite at a time”
just take it one day at a time, you will have up and down days but as long as you dont stop
I couldnt agree with u more, i really have no excuses to not be changing my diet, and exercising more. Im flat out admitting im just not apllying myself and im wasting my time on other silly shit. Instead of working out. My biggest problem is eating healthy, i have to find someway to start eating more greens and less crap. I had a burger last night and i can feel my body rejecting that shit… I just have to work at it and really do it. Only i can make all these changes.
I’m glad to see that I’m not the only mahfucka here who could be doing better. I’m still on the 182 lbs plateau from my initial 190. I really need to change my mentality because I’m letting myself make excuses- traveling, moms, and tomorrow I leave for a week vacay. I’ll try to be better on this trip. If I can come back weighing less than I do now in a week, I’ll consider that progress.
I’m at 330(at least I haven’t gained anymore lol), and need to lose like 75.
It could ALWAYS be worse.
Pretty simple(Occam’s razor WHOOOOO); rock bottom isn’t the bottom yet, and tempting fate is self-demonstrating as to why you shouldn’t do it.
Murphy’s law, too.
