Sup, B&T? It's November 1st, and it's time to TRACK. Same rules as last time. Post your starting weight, and your height along with measurements of your chest, waist, arms, thighs, and neck. Then, BUST YOUR BUTT in the gym, treadmill, kitchen, wherever, and mark your monthly progress here. Highest percentage of weight lost wins. Wins what? WINS AT LIFE.
I did a month long re-feed to try and bust myself out of adaptive thermogenesis, and only gained back 5 lbs. I considered it a small "bulking" phase at the gym, since I got considerably stronger in October. Hopefully by New Years, I'll have reached my goal of a 3 plate Bench Press, 4 plate squat, and 4.5 or 5 plate deadlift.
C'mon, Big n Tall! Show me what you've got! Let's keep each other motivated going into the toughest two weight loss months of the year. THE HOLIDAY BINGE.

I'd like to join captain, but I seem to have reached the dreaded plateau... I'm stuck and I can't understand why: training and intake are the same as always. Adaptive thermogenesis counts only for 10-20% max, so I'm not sure what's happening... hope to join the next challenge!0

I have been at the same weight for 3 months now. Just keep tracking, and keep working out. You can do it!0

I'm in. I've been pushing hard at the gym the last few weeks. But more surprisingly, I've started to alternate jog / walk laps on the track, and even more to my surprise, I kinda like jogging.
Current Weight: 352.2
Neck: 17.1"

I gained a few for Turkey day, and leftover Turkey days, but no regrets on that one. No 1 goal is to do better with my intake.
