Tinboats 2014 BIGGEST LOSER Challange

[RiverBottomOutdoors]

Fell off the wagon and went the wrong direction....ol' lady was sick and filled the house with comfort food. I can't be trusted around Chocolate Chip Espresso ice cream, pizza and donuts. Looked at the scale this morning......reality check has been cashed.

This week was already scheduled to take the elliptical from 20 minutes to 30 minutes a day. No more f---ing around.

This is going to be a tuff week for me as well,

I didn't necessarily fall off the wagon, but I didn't eat great this weekend. I cheated just a little. The bigger issues is, I have to go out of town again on Thursday morning so that means I won't be able workout Thursday or Friday, I will be back on Saturday Its all good, Rome wasn't burned down in a day.............. :LOL2:

As long as its a positive number I will take it. I'm looking for 2lbs loss but I'll take 1. I wont be able to weigh until Saturday, I want to weigh on the same scale.

 

[RStewart]

I''m ready. I started out pretty good last year before I got off track & stayed off track. I usually weigh on Mondays but I think it will benefit me more to weigh on Fridays. I will however start on Monday the 6th & then start weighing on Fridays. I've got a long journey ahead, but my goal is to lose 100 lbs this year.


1/06/14 - 344.6
1/13/14 - 340.4
1/17/14 - 339.0
1/24/14 - 333.2

Not sure where it went this week. I have been working very hard though. I'm starting to have doubts about my scale's accuracy too. This morning, I weighed myself 6 times. It gave me 4 different results. Maybe it needs a new battery....I don't know. Still...this doesn't make sense to me this week. Even my belt is cinched up a hole more. Hmmmm.

RStewart....you've done GREAT this week! Congrats and keep it up!

1/06/14: 199 lbs
1/13/14: 197 lbs
1/24/14: 196 lbs
Goal: 185 lbs

Stepped up the elliptical this week. Went from 20 minutes to 30 minutes. Elliptical calculates that has me burning around 300 calories vs 450 - 500 calories.

New motivation: Vacation in Rome at the end of March!!! Don't want to be a fat American stereotype.

1/3 - 255.2 - no push-up number recorded
1/10 - 257.2 - 13 push-ups - Family was in town and I probably ate too many things that aren't good for me.

1/17 - 255.6 - 17 push-ups! Heading the right direction!

1/24 - 254.2 - no push-ups today, but in my periodic weekly testing, I'm holding strong at 17-20.

 

[fender66]

Keep it up guys!

Thanks Fender. I always weigh 3 times & usually get the same reading two of the three times. Did you add any muscle? Muscle weighs more but takes up less room. You could actually lose inches & gain pounds. Sometimes things just happen weird. Last week I barely lost any. Haven't changed anything in my routine.

 

[Country Dave]

I fell off the wagon,

I had to travel again this week and it's so hard to eat right when you're on the road. Not to mention no time to workout. I was hoping I lost a pound or at least stayed even but that was not the case. I gained 2lbs back...................

I will knock those 2lbs off this week and be back on track.


Start weight 1 /3/14- 217

[Country Dave]

Ok back on track,

I'm so disappointed and confused I can't stand it. Still starving myself and working out like a maniac. Why is my weight going up? My scale gave me a consistent reading all three times this morning though.
I have cut out almost all my soda and have been drinking about a gallon of water a day. I'm peeing more than I've ever peed in my life. Something has to give soon....I hope. #-o

PS....Way to go Dave. Keep it up!

Chris I'm not a nutritionist by any stretch of the imagination but I know this, Don't skip meals. Your body will interpret that as you're now not receiving any nutrition and it will purposely store fat. Just eat a smaller meal and don't eat you're last meal of the day late.

You will get there just keep working at it bro. O and thanks for the encouragement.......... :mrgreen:

Hey Dave....thanks for the advice.....but, that's exactly what I'm doing. First...I'd NEVER skip a meal unless I'm fishing. Second....I'm eating less (smaller portions) and not late at all. In fact, I've cut out almost all the crap food and replaced it with high in protein foods. I'll get there...just very frustrated with the results right now.

 

[Country Dave]

Its going to happen then,

It might not happen in the time frame you want, but it will happen. Don't give up!

1/31 - 253.6 - Haven't done push-ups today, but I've been at 20+ when I've tested during the week. Updated last Friday's count for what it was in the evening. I've actually been weighing in at less earlier in the week, but this morning I weighed heavier - I'm actually happy about that since I think this is on the higher side of my weight variance right now.

Fender - if you've been working out like crazy and eating right, but gaining weight, it is likely that you're building muscle. When you work out are you doing a lot of lifting, a lot of cardio, or a balance of both? If you're concerned about the numbers and don't know what's going on, I'd recommend taking measurements, then track those every week or biweekly; it will clear things up pretty quickly as to what's going on.

 

[SumDumGuy]

As has been mentioned muscle weighs more than fat. Muscle also requires more "food" to maintain.

The secret to weight manipulation is no secret at all. It is very simple.
To gain weight (lean or fat) a calorie surplus is needed.
To lose weight a calorie deficit is required.

Good times!

Two steps forward, 1 step back. :?

Chris, if you're working out as much as it sounds like, you're more than likely swapping fat for muscle. If you're more concerned with dropping actual lbs, you might want to look in to doing a cardio type workout instead of working with weights or doing muscle building type exercises. Jogging, swimming, or treadmill would probably get you the results.
