Tinboats 2014 BIGGEST LOSER Challange

[TexasLoneStar56]

You're Welcome!

I was checking on you guys to read your new posts. If you did like we did Labor Day weekend, we ate, enjoyed family & friends, and ate, and visited more, and ate (along with a few cool ones). Great times, now on to......

New season approaching. Cooler weather makes it a bit easier to work out. You guys have inspired me.

1/31 - 253.6 - no push-ups recorded
2/7 - 254 - 21 push-ups.
2/14 - 251.8 - I recorded 12 push-ups last night; I did a pretty intense weight training session on Wednesday night, so last night my muscles sore and I didn't want to push numbers and risk injury.

3/14 - 250.4 -
3/21 - 251.4 - I've also shifted my push-up focus to form first, then numbers. I've been doing 15-20 in the best form I can instead of trying to just push numbers.

6/20 - 237.8
6/27 - 238 - My push-up counts are in the 30s. I'm excited that I've taken the weight drop that I have in the past month and especially since now my 4 week rolling average is under 240.
7/4 - 236.4 - I recorded the weight on Friday even though I didn't post it.
7/11 - 236 - Still stable in this range.
7/18 - 233 - I've shifted my strength goal a bit since I'm having success with weight loss. For the first half of the year, I've worked on endurance training of muscles, now I'm shifting to 1/3 strength focused then 2/3 endurance.
7/25 - 234.6 - Up a bit from last week, but still down overall. I think I've hit another plateau in loss right now, but at the very least the average is still down.
8/1 - 232 - I'll take 4 straight weeks at 236 or less. I'm only 2 pounds away from my short term goal of 230
8/8 - 232.8 - Still below the rolling 4 week average. I have to admit that I'm pretty astonished overall at the progress I've made in the past 3 months; in 3 months I'm down about 17 pounds. I feel better, I look better, and I'm now officially just a L-XL in sizes...I don't remember any point in my life where I owned a size L shirt until recently. I'd still really like to hit 230 by 8/31 since that would officially mark 60 pounds lost in 2 years, but I realize that short term goals sometimes lose sight of the bigger picture.
8/15 - 231.2
8/22 - 230.4 - I'm very close to my 230 goal. Year over year, I'm down 35 pounds and year to date I'm down 25.2 pounds (10%).

8/29 - 230 on the dot. I have to admit that was a little bit disappointed since earlier in the week I was in the upper 220s, but I'm psyched to have hit this number on an official weigh in. On 8/31/12 I was 290 and in lousy shape; on 8/30/13 I was 264.6 and recovering from a serious back injury. This year at 230, I think it's pretty safe to say that I'm in the best shape I have ever been in and the lowest weight I've been at as an adult. Now that I've hit the short term on the 230, it's time to re-focus myself and aim to the year-end goal of 220 (or lower).

9/5 - 228.6 - I'm committed to September being a month of renewed ambition! I'm going to get in some sort of workout every day this month - whether it's hiking, working at the gym, golfing, etc, I WILL get a workout in every day this month. I'm also making a pledge to stick entirely to the paleo diet my wife and I were kind of doing last month.

Fender,
Muscle mass weights more than fat. You probably are bulking up. Keep up the good work! =D>

One of my biggest "diet" pet peeves, 1lb of fat = 1lb of muscle............. Muscle mass is just packaged nicer.

Very true, but a 10lb bag of feathers is lighter than a 10lb bowling ball......right? :mrgreen:

You are correct sir!! Unless it is dropped from a satellite hovering Mars where the specific gravity is 4.316 newtons²…

And forget about the scale, if your clothes are fitting better and you're getting stronger you are doing something right. People keep telling me I look like I'm losing weight when in actuality I'm gaining but still fit nicely in my 32"!

HOLY CRAP!

I think I might be dieting and working out with results that are turning me into BA!

DEAR GOD...HELP ME PLEASE.....SOMEONE......ANYONE???????

That's the standard reaction, but embrace it. It will make the transition to BA-ly-ness much easier

Just checking in on you guys to see your progress. Keep up the good work and be proud of yourselves! =D> I am proud for each and every one of you! =D>

Someone once told me, "If it was easy, everybody would be doing it."

Cheers to you guys!

Keep going Grand! It will only help after the long run of the holidays!

5/05/14 - 321.6 OUCH! Bad weekend. Too much beer & Mexican food.
5/12/14 - 326.6   didn't realize how much snuff controlled my hunger. Seemed like I wanted something to eat all the time & I gave in too much. Oh well, on the bright side, I'm 7 days with no snuff.

6/16/14 - 320.6 yeah
6/23/14 - 321.8 oh no! Time to get back to drinking a meal replacement shake for breakfast I guess. When I quit that it's when I started yo-yoing

Ok, I'm back. Life has gotten in the way & I've let it sidetrack me. Got to be able to continue even with life's distractions since this is a lifelong commitment. Glad to see there are a few still at it. I've started supplementing so I'm getting the 90 essential nutrients our bodies require. I've got a lot of years with of damage to reverse but I feel better. So here goes:

8/25/14 - 323.8

Up 10lbs - 12lbs but could probably drop to a 30" waist. Scales don't tell the whole story, throw them out!!!
