It's all in the title. I am a former 300+ member. Last summer though, I lost 100 pounds, and during a lil bulk during the holidays I gained 30 (oops, lol). Wanna drop back down to about 220 for a start. Looking for some people with the same goals to compete with. ;) Anyone wanna challenge me? :) lol

    4 months... lol, can't say I had the healthiest diet in the beginning... But half way through I really got into proper diet. This and my dedication to the gym, I conquered!

    ... Now I gotta do it again. Damn. lol

    Well, I gained it back for a few reasons... I was trying to bulk up a bit, muscle-wise. In addition to that it was the holidays, and I turned 21 shortly there after... Next year I'm going to approach things differently, that's for sure! lol

    Damn, I've heard insanity is just ridiculous. lol, my buddy is doing it and he absolutely dreads it... I'm not even gonna try, i couldn't get past the first day of p90x. The gym is just so much more familiar/comfortable to me. Good luck though! :)

    I'm with ya. I've got 112lbs to lose so I don't expect to lose all that in four months :P but I'm pretty dedicated though I don't "diet" I just practice portion control and work my butt off doing TurboFire and 30 Day Shred.

    I'm down about 40 pounds since I started late February but I bought a new scale so don't let the ticker fool you.

    ETA: My mini goal is entering the new year AT LEAST seeing a "1" on the scale rather than a "2".

    Hard breakup started it. Crash dieted for a while... halfway through though i began doin it right. always supplementing the gym into my life ever since high school.

    And thank you. :) Though I look better with a shirt on then off. I want that to change. lol

    Thank you! You're not doing too shabby yourself but the 30 day shred is a pretty decent workout. It's not much fun, IMHO, but it definitely gets your heart pumping. I suggest everyone look at TurboFire... sooo much fun!

    Hi there,
    I've gone from 213 last April to 175 in January. Since then I plateaued until April and since then I am now back up to 180 lbs.
    Not sure what my main goal will be, as I'm focusing more on how I look and feel rather than the number on the scale. Aiming for 130-140ish lbs by Christmas (which is also summer where I live).

    You shouldn't get embarassed/uncomfortable! They are always the one at the gym I'm cheering on in my head, cos I know how hard it is.

    I'm guessing you're American, so greetings from across the pond from me here in the UK.
    I'm 21, my goal is the shed 20lbs in 6 weeks and I love a challenge!

    Sounds like a damn good day to me! I, like you, start out with a coffee and espresso shot, black. Then have a pre-workout protein shake. Same shake right after. Then for dinner I tend to stick with poultry of sorts, protein style. Hot sauce and cinnamon wherever I can. :) I do low/no carb.

    Low cal diets don't really effect me negatively. I actually feel quite good on them. That, and I have something in a couple weeks that I wanna look good for. So I'm goin hard right now. lol, this isn't permanent by any means. After that I'll probably bump it up to 1000-1200 cals a day.
