Men on a Mission - Part 2

No change in my weight this week...still at 379, but considering some of the stuff I let myself eat this weekend, I'm pretty glad.0

Sorry Eats, it seems I posted your numbers from a previous weigh in. I'll remedy that on the next chart. It seems like a few of the guys are going through a pretty rough plateau right now. My advise is to just stay the course and it'll turn around. I just went through a 4 or so month plateau. I'm sure I could have been a bit more aggressive in getting back on track but I think I needed this time to get myself in order. I didn't stop eating right or anything like that but I think the mental aspect is much bigger than we realize. Just checking in here helped me more than you guys will ever know. Keep up the great job men.0

I'm definitely going to kick up my routine a notch. I'm going to a four day work week so I will make sure I hit the bike and weights before work each day since I will be getting home so late. I will do one body part and 30 mins on bike each day. If you don't see me log it please kick my butt!
Then we have two days a week planned for working on the landscape and house. I've got a ton of lanscaping to do and some remodeling inside. We have an 18month plan to sell and then find flatter more horse friendly property and start over. Now that I 've had ten years with the horses to learn I have a better understanding of how to set the next place up. Most importantly will be no washes or arroyos so the hay truck can get in and a taller barn so I never have to lift a bale of hay again except to bust it open to feed. :-)0 -
Sorry guys, was away this weekend and that &#&^$ phone was returned by HTC but still not fixed. So sent it back again. No logging therefore last couple of days. This in combination with that weekend: LWW 112.4 CWW 114.0.0

Thanks t. No worries on the chart posting. I think my body has a monthly plateau. (Can it be my time of the month?) I lose weight two weeks out of the month and then either gain/stay the same for two weeks. I think it has something to do with the way I eat. On the weeks when I eat higher fat and and get my carbs from massive amounts of vegetables, I lose more. When I go with more fruits and lower my fat intake, I tend to stay the same. It works though because when I do post losses, they are usually pretty big...6 pounds or more.0

I had a few extra minutes so went ahead and updated this weeks results to include Eats and Bigeddy.

StevLL, sounds like you have some serious work ahead of you. Also sounds like you have a pretty good plan on how to get there. Just don;t over do it and no worries, we will be here to kick your butt when needed.0 -
Hey guys, sorry I've been MIA, been a busy week and a half or so and I had a really bad week last week (only got to the gym on Monday and I pretty much took the week "off" diet wise) and was ashamed to get on here and post my results.
CW (as of Sunday 8/21): 368.6
LWW: 361.4
Up 7.2 lbs...but I'm glad to report that the majority of that was due to high sodium intake as I have already dropped those 7.2 lbs plus a few more this week and it's only Thursday. So it's a BIG week for me, although I'm not sure it really counts (lol), but it is definitely great to see the numbers on the scale going down again after gains the past two weeks. Hope everyone is doing well and have a great weekend! I'll report back on Sunday.

Slight variation this week.
Down to 130.2kg
I hope all is well with you guys in the US at the moment.0 -
No Loss yet. Bad day today since we went to Olive Garden to celebrate my daughter's baptism.0
-
No Loss! Frustrated. Gotta get my sodium right. I was at 322.4 on Thursday and today I'm back at 327. I' know I'm pushing my calorie limit, but not that much. Too tired for excercizse tonight, but look out tomorrow I'm goonna kick some butt.0

Up a pound. Travelling on a VERY limited budget kinda left me at the whim of those who were buying. It was hard to make smarter choices so I usually just got whatever. Today I'll ease back into things and tomorrow I can roar back in.0 -
OK guys, here is this weeks results. Looks like other than Paul, the rest of us had a pretty rough week. Some had it a little rougher than others. But no worries, today starts a new week.
I had a 3 pound gain this week. I knew I was not going to do well on the scale but didn't think it would be this bad. Our best friends daughter got married this weekend. She is also like a daughter to us and since about mid week, we were pretty heavily involved in wedding preparation and this completely threw me off track in eating and exercising.
This Wednesday is mine and the wife's 27th anniversary. My daughter is engaged and believe it or not, her future in-laws have the same anniversary date as us. Small world. So, we kind of did a joint anniversary party yesterday. Voila! 3 pound increase.
I'm back on track today though so let's all have a great week.
Congrats to Paul on losing this week!!!

Hey guys, sorry I'm a day late but I was traveling yesterday.

Lost the 7.2 lbs I gained last week, so I'll definitely take it. The number would have been a few pounds higher but I had a bachelor party this past weekend with mass beer and bbq consumption, tried to keep it in check as much as possible but we all know how that goes sometimes. Great job everyone, here's to another big week!

Again late, but still in the race. Finally some good news:
LWW 114,0
CWW 113,5
Let's keep it up this way. Still waiting for that damn phone, don't know why it is taking so long for repairing it. Found out the hard way that logging works better for me than restraining my self at this moment in time. Cheers to you all0 -
Woo Hoo! Down 3.8 this week. Not sure how today will go, Brother-in-laws b-day and might partake a little. Tomorrow will be hitting Pinnacle Peak for a hike again and 1 week from today is Warrior Dash.
LW 277.6, CW 273.80 -
Still no weight loss this week. This is beginning to get real frustrating as it has been 7 or 8 weeks. However, I do see changes continue as my arms are looking more defined and it appears I actually have shoulder and bicep muscles now. My smaller pants also look baggy now and I may have to buy a new pair or two for work.....again. Nice problem to have.
Keep up the great work guys! We can do it!!!!!0 -
Great job Tim! WTG! Taco that scale was kicking my butt the last 4 weeks, but I triumphed. You've got a ton of NSV's that trump the scale anyday! Bigeddy way to stay in the race!
I'm back boys and loaded for bear. CW320.2 LWW326.8 I really feel like it's only 2.4, becuase the other 4lbs was totally water weight as I've worked hard on my soduim this week and that seems to be the key. Althought you would think with the mondo double water pill I take that would not be an issue but I can litterally gain 5-8lbs in a day and if I am up and down all night I can lose it completely by morning.
Big NSV too. Need to get in and see doctor because BP consistently below normal now, so I think it's time for another med to go. That would be sweet.
Rock on men!
My focus this week is going to be reduce sodium & increase fiber with more veggies and fruits.
Ps... also to increase my time with Hoots, so I'm moving to a 4 day work week. I'll still put in the same amount of time, but a little more from home and not so many at the ranch.0 -
Busy week at work so not been keeping up with the diary. No suprise that I've no loss this week, maintaining food but lacking gym time.
It's a devil to break through a plateau and it gets real depressing as the weeks go by and only miniscule losses occur.
Keep with it guys.0 -
LWW 113,5 CWW 114,0
Back at weight two weeks again, good thing is that I know why ;-) At least no parties planned this week, maybe that will help..
Keep up the good work guys!0 -
This weeks big winner is Stevll with a 6.6 pound loss. Fantastic job Steve. Taco, I have no doubt you will be turning it around here. Until then, your NSV's are even more amazing. I might currently be showing a little improvement on the scale, but I haven't had any of the NSV's you've had lately. Let's focus this next week and make it a good one. If you have any ideas for topics, post them up.
Way to go guys.

I forgot to weigh in this weekend so count me as a zero.
Question for everyone: What exercises do you do if you have bad knees?
A couple of months ago I bought Active 2 for PS3 and liked it a lot; however, it made my knees hurt. In one of my knees I am missing half of the cartiledge so Active 2 was a little too high in the impact area. On the other knee I had surgery to repair a ACL/MCL tear. Once the knees healed from doing Active 2, I started back on the elliptical and started pushups, situps, and squats. Things feel better now. Just was curious what else I could do to make the exercising more entertaining.0 -
Hi Guys,
Count me as zero also. Work settling down now so back to the gym this week.0 -
Well, I guess I should be a little disappointed this week because I have a 5 pound gain but I'm not. We spent a long weekend down in Oregon with friends and family participating in the Warrior Dash. I beat last year's time by more than 22 minutes. The eating was off the charts but had an absolutely fantastic time and am looking forward to doing even better next year. I think I also am carrying a bit more water weight than normal also.

Most haven't posted this weekend so I will wait and hopefully others will post their results today and I'll try and get the chart up later.0 -
CW 315 LWW 320.2 down 5.2lbs which was a total suprise. My guess is it's a lot of water weight as I didn't eat really yesterday and didn't drink as much as normal. Tim i'll bet it's just water weight and within a couple days it flushes.
It feels like I've been eating all the time this week and last week and yet losing weight with ease. I'm thinking one of two things are happening. I've been kinda grazing so that litterally every two hours I'm eating something and for the first time I actually really kinda of feel hungry. (sounds bad that at almost 50 I'm just now learning what true hunger feelings feel like) It seems like my energy is through the roof and I never feel full, but seem to be satified. The second option is I have a tapeworm, but I'm really hioping it's the first one and a metabolism change.
Big NSV last week and this week. My doctor allowed me to come off all my BP oral meds and just use my patch and my water pill. I am consistently running mid-100teens/mid 60's to low 70's. The reason this is so big is that eight months ago I was wearing two patches, on five meds, plus a water pill and my doctor was estatic when I would be under 160/110. I think all the energy the past couple weeks is from not being on the BP meds.
Stay strong ya'll it was a crazy two weeks and I will get back into posting and commenting this week.0 -

Tim I'll bet you have some inflamation too from the race and with increased sodium from eating out, I'll bet you lose the extra and post a nice loss after everything balances out. Awesome job on the 22min shave off your time!0 -
Small loss overhere: LWW 114,0 CWW 133,3.
As to the Tllstaco question about exercises: fortunately my knee is still reasonably intact, although running is not really an option for me. So for me badminton, walking en cycling. And what I tried 2 years ago was .... salsa dancing. If your knee isn't in too bad condition, this can be fun... Will start tonight with the first lesson of the new season, hope I can remember something from before summer ;-)0 -
Here are this weeks results. StevLL is the biggest loser with Bigeddy following. I am at the back of the pack this week but not worried.

Hey guys I won't be near a scale till tuesday, but I was 313.6 Friday morning, so i'll take it as my loss this week. 1.4lb loss CW 313.6 LWW 315.
Hope everyone is doing well.0 -
Down 3.2 pounds this week. Didn't erase the entire gain from last week but headed in the right direction.
