Well here it is!!!! This is a personal thread for Marie, Ben, Liz, Fu, Jenny and Charlie. Since my computer doesn't have excel May have to wait till I go back to school to make the sheet unless Liz's comp has it. Anywho some of the things I would like to track is:
1.start weight
2.weight last week
3. new weight
4. change this week
5. week % lost
6. Total change
7. Total % lost
These categories seem to be the broadest for us. We can even narrow the categories. I believe we should use this thread as a tool to motivate one another and maybe tips/snacks we try to eat to curb cravings. Good luck to everyone and lets shred! Email me your weight and goals tomorrow and we'll get this puppy started. Liz has Microsoft Works so should be able to use their excel.
Liz and I are still in transitions between a program and Insanity so we won't be bouncing to a specific program till 2 weeks. Gonna stay on my plan till than.

let's get this started. it does not have to be just use. if some other MVP person is interested in our awesome group then join use as we lose weight.
I have a long way to go. 40 pounds but I know I can do it. I am 225. I want to get to 185 and be ripped. I have a few physical goals. run 5 k under 25 by April with my wife. climb mt. rainier again but by a harder route, and do half ironman.
I will get you mine and maries numbers. I know Marie is going to kick butt
good luck everyone0 -
Here is how the thread will look. So give me the numbers and I'll fill in the data:

glad to see you post fu. I think we should try to post tips/tricks to dodge the calorie binge. If we have any great ideas, swing it away or even recipes. I'm sure marie is whipping up so low cal ones!0
-
Yay so glad you figured it out!!!!! And Christopher wow look at you posting stuff on MFP lol0
-
One facebook post meant two MFP post today. That's my formula at the moment.0
-
Your going to get addicted. My friend Christi will be joining also. I will update the names and weights tomorrow. Good luck everyone0

Hey Everyone:
This is how the sheet will look. Maybe I'll add some colors when the paint program isn't so touchy. Anyhow some of you lost weight this week and others gained, but I only wrote down what your weight was this Monday that way we are all on a fresh start together. Consider everything else preliminaries... Heres how everything will look Monday. There are error messages and random numbers because of the formulas embedded so pay no attention.

Hello all.
Start weight 168
Goal weight 150
Who would think it was so hard to lose so little weight!
I am going to do Turbo Fire with some running and weight training. When finished with Turbo Fire I will go back to Insanity and start over and complete it!
Good luck everyone!0 -
wow. looks like I am the big boy of the group. no one else hitting the 200.
Marie and I had a hard first couple of days and did not meet our goal of exercise yesterday vutboth did out workouts today and we have been eating well.
I did 24 minutes of running on the new treadmill today in my newtons and will see how the calves feel. also did some climbing training by putting a 20 pound pack on and walking at 2.3 at 12 % incline. did those in newtons also. may switch to my vibrams in a couple weeks.
Marie and I might start p90x next Monday.
Mike might need your help bringing in my lat pulldown. I don't think my door frame pull up bar is going to work. I will check out those bands.
Marie did 2.0 mph at 15% incline for 30 minutes with the 20 lbs weight vest.
we just figured out how to track calories on the new treadmill.
good luck everyone!!!!!!0 -
Nice job Ben. liz and I are still messing with Chalean, but I think i've convinced her to do p90x with me in 2 weeks vs. Chalean. I feel like p90x is harder and works our body better so if you wait it out 2 weeks, we can all do p90x same time.0
-
Liz and I got one more week of Chalean than that following Monday which is the 17th is when the p90x rumble is going on!!!!!!!!!!!! Do it at the same time with us so we can all be on the same page. Also What are the 5 poses for pictures do you take for p90x, i want that free shirt!0
-
to get e free shirt I think they will want to see that you purchased the program. hahaha.
I will see with Marie. maybe we will do 5 weeks of phase 1. then we will all be on board together.
I ate some chocolate cover pretzels last night and then decided to burn off the calories with 30 minutes of workout on the treadmill.
we have a funeral tonight but we will both do our card. I will do bike and elliptical. oh did that last 30 in my vibrams0 -
My feet are banged up from r-ball and wallyball so I can't wear my vibrams yet. We have a birthday party saturday to survive, but as far as i know we are doing really well on the diet. Monday should be a nice weigh in.0
-
any chance you can come by before next Monday to bring that lat pulldown in0
-
The one in the Garage? If I can switch my dumb government class, I should be able too. I have class all the way till 10 pm on mondays...0
-
thanks for helping me set up the lat pull down. I kicked butt in cardio today. getting back in form. makes up for slacking yesterday0
-
you guys are weak I have not seen you guys post in awhile.
I did 1300 calories in 90 minutes. let's hope I get down to 220 for Monday0 -
HA. Just cause i'm not posting doesn't mean I'm not working it son!!!!!! I've still worked out everyday, stuck to my routine and reduced my calorie intake each day by about 200. Though I had a horrific Monday so its tough to say where I will be at come Monday weigh in. Fu and Woody had their son's b-day party saturday so that may have damaged us, but we will see. We just finished yoga. Hope you got your cardio in!
Mike0 -
I am 220 today. Marie is 131
we start p90x today0 -
Hey guys my weigh in for today was 136! Mike stayed the same as last week. Marie and Ben you are kicking butt with all your workouts!! When are we all going to play wally ball again??0
-
Hehe well it sounds like everyone is doing well so far that's recorded to me. Man i just spent 622 bucks on USED books... such a rip off. Less credits = more money. Anywho back to the subject, so far everyone that reported in lost weight besides me. I stayed the same. Tough moving the scale these days, think i'm at a pretty low body fat. I won't start p90x till next week THOUGHHHHHHHH we are gonna touch on cardio more this week and drop abs. I'll update the sheet when I get home. I still haven't heard from Fu or Christi and didn't know if anyone else wanted to jump on board. If so I can fill the chart with their info today.
Mike0 -
I was at 163.2 lbs today, down .8 pounds from last week. Body is changing, though, but I'm wondering where the bottom is before the muscle starts to make the scale go up.0

Fu: Ben would be able to answer better, but if your using a diet which MFP gives you in terms of calories. All you can create is lean muscle, which does way more than fat BUT. Your going to be losing fat so I don't think you'll be seeing big shifts in your weight. You potentially could be seeing your weight stand still a few weeks, but I dont think you will gain a massive amount of weight. Only way to tell your lean muscle mass is the water tank thingy which western may have Or callipher test by a personal trainer or someone who has one.
Ben probably will post on this.0 -
good work everyone
mike. the thing with the books sucks damn. such a rip off. you will have a hard time losing with a low level of body fat. you will have to crank up the cardio.
Fu. it is hard to tell the difference between muscle gained and fat lost. Liz is correct and the only way to tell is to do a good fat analysis and that would be by hydrostatic testing but calipers done by an experienced person can also be good enough for what we are doing. Most importantly if you notice a change I would not worry. What type of exercise are you doing. if you are doing p90x then I would not expect you to lose a lot of weight. it is not ment to be big on weight lose but to tone you up. if you want to see the scale drop then you need to add lots of cardio and make sure your diet is good. you will not gain lots of muscle very quick.
good luck all.
got to go pick up anya0 -
