I never actually owned a size 40, but my 38s were getting a little bit tight to where I probably needed them.

Dan, you act like everyone has the same build. I know you follow the NFL draft stuff. There are frames that can take on weight in certain ways and frames that can't. It's not just about height.

Yeah, at 225 I was in 32s and 34s.

How tall are you?

[Kirobaito]

160.4 this morning, but kinda sorta forgot to eat dinner last night, so I don't think it should really count.

[tablecloth]

No man, I understand, but it is definitely rare for such a build given height. Height typically plays a large role in this.

158.8 this morning. And that is a weight loss plan successfully executed. Huzzah!



I think I'll still try to lose another five pounds.

[chumdawg]

Congrats! Very well done.

[Kirobaito]

11/7 160.8 lbs

Erk. Now I get to celebrate all over again!

(This is still a full pound dropped from last Monday, so we're all good.)

11/14 158.8 lbs

[Dirkadirkastan]

08/01 - 210
08/15 - 204
09/01 - 197
09/16 - 190
10/01 - 186
10/17 - 185
11/01 - 182
11/18 - 178

Mid-month update was delayed because I first had to burn off delicious food I ate earlier in the week. Scale read an inflated 184 just a few days ago.

Try not to overdo it on Thanksgiving everyone

[Kirobaito]

I'm not even having a real Thanksgiving dinner, fortunately. My mom and sister are in California right now, so my dad and I are going to my grandparents' house where we'll order in from Cotton Patch. I can get a tilapia with rice and broccoli that's less than 500 calories.

Binge-eating was never really my problem, anyway, though.

11/28 156.8 lbs

[xrobx]

these last 10 pounds just don't want to come off... 191, so close to 180 yet so far away

[alexamenos]

193 .... 22 pounds down, three to go.

Great work. You had disappeared for a couple of weeks, I assume to business. Good to know you kept up!

12/5 157.2 lbs

Constant yo-yoing this week between 156 and 157. I wonder if this is where my lifestyle has settled me at.

[Murphy3]

Ok..good for you guys.. good work. I'm about to start hitting the running pretty hard again. Well, I've decided to tone it down a bit from what I've done in the past simply because I haven't been able to stay healthy enough. I 100% know what I should be doing with running, but I have a tendency to want to push it a little harder than I should... Frequent Achilles Tendonitis and Plantar Fasciitis along with compartment syndrome in my calf... I've about had it. But, I figured I'd give it another try while monitoring my increases in speed and length a little better and lessening my sprint workouts considerably. Hopefully the issues will be manageable. Plus, I need to lose 20 pounds.

12/12 157.4

[alexamenos]

192.4...Ive seen south of 191 in recent days.

[xrobx]

Hit 187, just 4 pounds away from a completed mission

[alexamenos]

checked in at an all new monday morning low of 191.8. Haven't been riding much due to weather. A week or two of good weather over the holidays (so I can get out and ride) and I might get there soon.

Objectives aside...I'm really not doing anything out of the ordinary these days...by that I mean I'm not going to start doing something (or eating something) different once I hit 189.9. The weight is coming off slowly but surely....wouldn't be surprised to get down to 185ish...eventually.

[Kirobaito]

12/19 154.4 lbs

I had my worst day of eating yesterday (burger & fries for lunch, pizza for dinner) in six months and lost .4 pounds.

[Kirobaito]

Pigged out this weekend, and... didn't gain. 154.8 this morning.

[xrobx]

184.0

just one pound away from having a "normal" BMI for the first time in my life

[Kirobaito]

1/9/2012 153.2 lbs

Gotta start working out more intently, though. Sigh.

[alexamenos]

hovering around in the low 190's. Pigged out like a mofo over the holidays. Also received several bottles of scotch as xmas gifts....scotch is like the ultimate anti-weight-loss drink for me.

'scuses, scuses....

I'm contemplating drastic (ie, dietary) action....after I finish my last bottle of freebie scotch.

[alexamenos]

Checked in at 191.4 yesterday. I've mostly been hovering in the low 190's for a while. My goal was originally 190, but I'm still carrying more fat than I care to carry, so i'm going for 180.

I've gotten semi-serious about the whole diet thing. Not like the last time I said I was going to get serious about my diet, and not like the time before that....this time I really mean it.

[xrobx]

181... I am finally normal

[Kirobaito]

I've finally recovered from my first squat-lunge workout. Ow. Hanging out 153ish this week.

[alby]

The working out + eating healthier plan started on Monday for me.

My biggest problem is alcohol. I know if I dropped that, I could easily lose 5-10 pounds right off the bat. Those who were in the same boat, how did you deal with this?

Initial weight = 180 lbs
Target weight = 160-165 lbs

Wish me luck.

[BGMaverick9]

Between the lockout and yesterday, I've lost a total of 28 pounds.

Tons of cardio. During the lockout, I played 4 on 4 full court hoops (2 hours straight) about 2-3 times a week. It's mainly just cardio now.

I find that I don't care too much about my weight when I'm drinking, so for the most part I've dealt with the problem by drinking more.

I was very light on my alcohol drinking...maybe once or twice a month. The big thing for me was soda, that was at least 1-2 a day. I just randomly stopped, cold turkey, right after the Finals. I haven't had one since.

Just flat out said no more, drink water or maybe fruit punch. I didn't really do anything special, just said you're done and I was done lol.

Fruit punch is worse than soda. Just drink diet, the aspartame doesn't have any real consequences if you're only drinking one or two a day.

I haven't had a regular soda since I started at the beginning of July. I've gotten so used to the taste of Coke Zero and Diet Dr Pepper that I don't need it anymore.

Can't help on the alcohol problem. I'd say, as a lifelong tee-total, to just not drink at all, anyway, but that's a perspective few people ever reach. I guess I'd just say it's fine so long as you cut out other calories to make room.

It's still like 85 percent water, 15 fruit punch.
It's a radical difference compared to watch it was before.

There aren't any urges to have soda anymore. I'm not really sure how it relates with alcohol.
