    Well done guys. Still no movement on my part, 140.5kg. Things are getting desparate now. After all the weight loss last month to virtually nothing this month: I need to change something.

    Missed the check-in yesterday. Today I'm @ 234.0.

    Big thanks to everyone in this thread. It's such a motivator during the week knowing that I'll be posting in here come the weekend. And it's great to know I have a support group sweating along with me. :-D

    Weighing in at 238 today. Have been a little frustrated as the past week has been the hardest working week for me - I have incorporated more rigorous elliptical exercise routines and also daily pushups and situps. Maybe I gained some muscle this week? In any case, I will post the results tonight - it looks like we had a good week, with several of you pulling off a loss of 3+ lbs.

    For those of you that are new, either post your weekly weigh-in on Saturday or Sunday and make sure to post it on this thread (I'm not going to go hunt down your profile). Also, please be consistent from week to week on the day you post, so we can have a fair weight comparison between the members of this group. To help with the statistics, please include:

    1) Starting weight, as of January 2, 2011. You are welcome to share your original starting weight too - we'd love to hear how far you've come along.
    2) If it's your first week posting, please post your last week's weight, as the 'rankings' are based on weight lost over the past week.
    3) Post your goal weight. You may have some mini-goals, but please post your ultimate goal weight.

    And for fun:
    4) Tell us what you are doing to achieve your goals (i.e. calorie count, P90X, walking, etc.)

    Keep up the good work men! I will post the results tonight!

    Hello Men! Here are the results! Way to go C-Bran droppin' a big 6! Like I mentioned before, we had a few men drop at least 3 pounds too - overall a great week. Though, a few of us (including myself) didn't do as well. I know for a fact what I ate, how much I worked, and based on the ideal mathematical formula of calories lost = calories consumed - calories burned, I should've lost 3 lbs. However, I think I added some muscle this week - we'll see what happens next week.

    For those of you that feel that you are not making as much progress over the last week or two, perhaps this is your situation too. If not, make sure to take into account what you are eating. Several years ago, I remember going to the gym 3-5 times a week and burning 1000 calories per session. However, I wasn't keeping track of what I was eating and I wasn't losing as much weight as I probably could have been losing.

    Keep up the good work and along with what jaskelley said earlier this week, I agree that it really helps to know we have this forum and that we post our weekly weight. It gives me something to look forward to and work towards; it also helps to know that you guys are working at it too! To a new week!

    One thing I've noticed that impacts my weight a lot is my sodium intake. I don't do such a good job of keeping below the target. When I exceed the target by more than 1,000mg or so, my weight goes up the next day by several pounds and takes a couple of days to come back down.

    I can't find it now, but someone posted pictures before and after lowering their sodium intake. The difference in one week was astounding to me.

    Pancho, you are welcome to join. I am going to quote myself from a previous forum post:

    For those of you that are new, either post your weekly weigh-in on Saturday or Sunday and make sure to post it on this thread (I'm not going to go hunt down your profile). Also, please be consistent from week to week on the day you post, so we can have a fair weight comparison between the members of this group. To help with the statistics, please include:

    1) Starting weight, as of January 2, 2011. You are welcome to share your original starting weight too - we'd love to hear how far you've come along. If you are starting after January 2, then post that starting weight.
    2) If it's your first week posting, please post your last week's weight, as the 'rankings' are based on weight lost over the past week.
    3) Post your goal weight. You may have some mini-goals, but please post your ultimate goal weight.

    And for fun:
    4) Tell us what you are doing to achieve your goals (i.e. calorie count, P90X, walking, etc.)

    Look forward to seeing your results next weekend and comparing them to last weekend! Good luck!

    I finally broke the 20 lb barrier! I know it isn't much compared to how far I have to go, but it's territory I haven't seen in more than ten years. I've been good, but still hovering just above that 20 lb mark for the last two weeks.

    I still have about 70 lb to go.

    I forgot the topic of the week! What do you men do to motivate you during exercise? Do you listen to a certain type of music? Watch a certain TV show?

    On a side note, ceebran, I take it you are posting your results on a weekly basis on Wednesday? I will try to remember to go back through the thread when I gather up the data for the week - it's a lot easier if it is all posted on Saturday or Sunday.

    Keep up the good work Men!
