Men on a Mission - Over 250, Looking to Drop 50
Replies

Reporting in at 230.2lbs - where I was last week. Yesterday morning, I was 228.2, so not sure what to think of that! Oh well!
Congratulations pgp_protector for dropping a 6 pounder this week! Overall, I'd say it was a good week with only a few of us losing nothing or very little. And those of us who lost nothing or very little this week have had victories before, so no big deal, right?
I don't know about you guys, but I'm ready for Spring! In Washington State, we are barely into the 40 degree (F) weather. It's hard to go on walks and work out outside when it is this rainy and cold! The warmer weather is the environment I really do well with for losing weight, so I'm hoping it warms up soon...which brings me to this weeks topic:
Which do you prefer - working out in the gym with available equipment and weights? OR outside, where can enjoy the fresh air and sun?
Keep up the good work Men! Let's bust a move this week!

I gotta say I really enjoy seeing the percentage of weight lost stats. Sometimes I feel like the amount of weight I lose weekly is minimal, but seeing the percentage add up really puts it into perspective!
As for the topic I'm a bit mixed between the two. I prefer cardio outdoors but strength training indoors.0 -
Well, I combine the two. I've started working out the way I did when, as my profile says, I felt like a machine. Treadmill cardio is no match for road work. It's hard to duplicate outside cardio indoors. This is my schedule started today:
4am = Wake Up
4:15 - 5:00am = 3-5 mile run
5:00am - 5:30am = Elliptical
5:30 - 6:00am = Weights
I feel a lot better these days, but I'm getting out of last place if it kills me. It's my new motivation.0 -
As to apolloag's question
So far I managed to stay out of the gym, in the past I've had a subscription but after a while I used it less and less. I'm more a racketsport guy, badminton and squash, so that is all inside. It's more fun when there is direct competition, winning or losing. Tried spinning once, but that's not my cup of tea, can't win from anybody ;-) About a year ago I picked up salsa dancing, which I thought would be completely out of my league. He, I'm a guy, pfff dancing yeah right. I watch football, like cars, drink beer, invest heavily in audio en tv equipment and am a gadget guy. But surprisingly, I liked it. So that is also inside. Leaves one thing for the spring/summer and that is skeeleren, kind of inline speed skating. That's is very nice with good weather and not too much wind. However, rain and wind is something we have abundantly over here ;-)0 -
My knees are shot from sports abuse and my 'other life' in the Army. If I run or have impact by knees tend to swell and then I have restricted movement for a while. So for me it's all gym work. For my CV I use the Elliptical machine, tread mill - walking and the concept rower. I no longer need to run. With the weights I don't do squats anymore. Over the past few years I've got used to going to the gym and no longer miss being outside when working out.0

Today's weigh-in: 225.00

Decent week over here, not very spectacular but I'm happy sofar. Today's weight 114,3 (LW 115.1). That will put me in the yellow zone again I guess, with this competition it will be hard to become greenish again. Well done to you jaskelley, you've put a lot of effort in it this week I saw. Good luck to the others0

Didn't think it would happen this week. Down one more pound to 263lb.0

136.1kg
I had to check this one twice. I weighed in this morning and again this afternoon and both times the scales showed 136.1kg. By my calculations that's just under 300Lbs on conversion. I've reached my first goal. After a few weeks of no move, finally a drop. I've been getting a bit despondent. Before last weeks weigh in I'd rowed (Concept rower) a half marathon and that didn't seem to make any effect to my weight. This week I've started to increase my time on the Elliptical. Hopefully this is the key to getting things going again.
Good luck to all - keep up the fight!0 -
This weeks weight 248.5 lbs
Last weeks weight 250 lbs
I prefer outdoors for a long jog specially going to hiking trails early in the morning. Gotta love that nature and early morning sun
But have to go to the gym for strength training and different cardio machine. And when the weather does not cooperate specially this past week its seems like it rain 4 days out of 7. I know i should not be complaining about the waether here in sunny southern california.
Hopefully you guys have a good week and keep those healthy lifestyle going0 -
I love seeing this on here! Wish I would've found it when I started off. I started at 245 and now I'm down to 213 (GW 200). Keep up the great work guys!0

I think I'll skip reporting this week :laugh:
down only 1 lb this week @ 261 now.0 -
Last week 266
Today 265
4 pound loss last week, 1 pound this week. Still happy about 5 pounds in 2 weeks though. I am going to try and up my daily calories. Friends have noticed I am way low in my daily net cals (Negative net cals yesterday). I'm going to give this a go for a couple of weeks and see what happens. Hard to suddenly change things up like this when I've had such good success already. However, I want to make sure I am doing this in a healthy manner and not just some quick weight loss that will be back on this time next year.0 -

Hello Men! Again, I am sorry that I didn't get the table up this week!
My laptop (that I keep all of the excel data on) died on Sunday. I am working on a solution to get it up and running.
In the meantime, hang in there and keep working at it! 0 -
Let's see how you've implemented your backup solutions... good luck!0

Hello All . . . I'd like to join if you'll have me. I was using another website but recently switched to this one, because it looks better.
Starting Weight - 307
Current Weight - 280
Goal Weight - 180
I'm 30. I was a swimmer in high school and used to be extremely athletic. I've been working a sedentary job for the last six years and really packed on the weight. I struggled with depression for a while, but seem to have that under control with medication. Now that I feel I'm more myself I want to get back into an active healthy shape. So far I've been exercising in the pool, swimming a mile 3 times a week. I've been thinking about hitting the gym when I get a little more of the weight off . . . I prefer the no impact that is swimming currently since it'd be easy to injure myself as heavy as I am. Anyway, that's me.0 -
Anyway, that's me.
And I love you (sorry to be like that in front of the guys).
You'll find out how inclusive this website is...the people are amazing. You should get some friends, though. You can even see them/get support/provide support from your iPhone app.
*ETA* Sorry I posted from your account. Normally it's me who's logged in here all day! - Wife0 -

Winkey + L next time before you hit the pool. ;-)
Welcome a board anyway, wish you a good mission. @apolloag: you're getting busier and busier with the succesfull topic.0 -
First of the weekend weigh-ins. Early weigh-in this weekend as I'll be out today so will no doubt be hitting a restaurant at some point so tomorrow things might not look as good !
Weight on Saturday morning 134.6kg (296.1Lbs). It's been a great week in the gym and the calories have been kept in check.
Some while ago I gave all my 'smaller' clothes to my son as I thought I'd not be using them again. Now, I'm having to buy smaller clothes again and it feels good. I noticed this week that my watch is now slipping around my wrist, it's the little things that tell. Needless to say I'm happy with how things are going.
Good luck all - stay positive.0 -
Got that big week I've been working for!!!! I'm ready for next week, and the fight will become even more intense!

I have been consumed with my backyard renovation. Been working on it 5 - 7 hours a day for the past 7 days. A job that 15 guys should be working on my wife and I are doing by ourself so it was too much this past week to do the renovation and do P90X. Lifting 100 lb boulders is enough of a workout in its self. So I will be starting P90X again tomorrow since the hardest part of the renovation is behind us. Two weeks left until I graduate P90X!!!0
