Here are the numbers from my workouts this week (workout a on Monday, b today). I stalled this week on bench and deadlifts. The stall on deadlifts hasme really stumped as this past Friday I was able to get all 5 reps of 275 all though the last rep was a big struggle I was able to make it. Today though at 285 I couldn't…

Congrats and keep it up. I started around the same stats as you. I am 6'3" and at a physical in August I weighed in at 489. For me it registered as 11 lbs form 1/4 of a ton not close to 500 and for some reason 1/4 of a ton sounds like so much more then 500 lbs. There is always something that triggers it for each person.…

How many warm up sets are you doing? I injured my knee about 8 weeks ago and after an MRI it was determined my patella was tracking correctly partly because my IT Band is so tight it is over compensating for everything else in my knee and causing it to pull my patella off track causing a lot of pain when I walk and when I…

Get some skinless wings and bake them and then use this sauce to coat them This should make enough sauce to coat about 18-24 wings 3 T Unsalted Butter - 305 calories, 35g fat, 0 carbs, 5g sodium 3 T White Vinegar - 0 cal, 0 fat, 0 carb, 0 sodium 3 T McIlhenny's original Red Tabasco Sauce - 0 cal, 0 fat, 0 carbs, 315g…

If you don't have high blood pressure or prone to it then you should be fine. Extreme amounts of sodium can cause you to retain more water weight. Weeks that my sodium intake is really high I seem to lose about 3-4 lbs less than the weeks that my sodium is under control. Ive found that if I drink an extra cup of water for…

Thanks everyone. So what do I plan on doing now? Keep on going with my new life montra, Eat Less Move More. I still have a long way to go to reach my goal but I'll get there. I want to thank Angie for all of her wonderful posts during this challenge time and even tho I am not super active as far as replying on the forums I…

I was 448lbs when I started going to the gym. I understand what you are saying and had some of the same thoughts. What got me over it was when I realized it wasn't other people looking at me and thinking this but that this is how I was looking at myself. Once I started changing the way I thought about myself and thinking…

Don't consider it a slip up. When you reach your goal weight you are still going to have days that you are over your maintence goal and days that you are under. You are changing your lifestyle and you are always going to swing to both sides of the line. The goal is to not swing to the high side more than the low side. It…

When I had my physical in Aug 2012 and I weighed in at 489 lbs. It didn't register as close to 500 but rather that I weighed almost a quarter of a ton. Don't know about you but for some reason a quarter of a ton sounds like so much more than 500 lbs. The thought of that weighed on me for about two days and couldn't shake…

May want to check some of the major universities near you to see if they have a Bod Pod open to the public. I know there are 2-3 here in VA that only charge $35 to get a body fat reading done.

Can definitely see a difference, Congrats. Biggest difference you can see is in you smile. First picture looks almost as if you are forcing the smile because you are taking a picture, second one seems like you are a lot happier and more comfortable with taking pictures of yourself. Keep up the hard work.

need to make the IMG lowercase for posting pictures. Great job so far

Picture on left is @489 one on right is @399, have on same shirt in both but couldn't button it in the first one

Currently I use standard grip. I have tried using a mixed grip but it feels weird for some reason and I end up concentrating on my hands rather thatn the lift and my form.

Are you talking total calories or net calories? I am somewere between 1200-1600 total calories. I do not even come close to eating my exercise calories back but I do believe in a lot of the information that is posted in the In place of a road map post on this site…

Close, I'm 38

I used to be a pretty hard core raider/pvper in WOW. I raided/pvp'd on my hunter Shamrokk - US Shadowmoon until BC when alliance could have shamen and then rerolled to Enhance Shaman Shamshokk for our guild. Was a big race on our server for first Rag kill and all tho we ended up getting second kill we vowed not to ever not…

My goal for today and tomorrow is to hit 6k calories burned each day. Best day I have had since getting a BodyMedia has been 5300 but Sun morning is final weigh in for the Lose Big program I started 12 weeks ago at my gym. Need to hit 389 to reach the 100lb lost mark since deciding enough is enough back in August, 388 will…

400 lbs would actually shatter the World Powerlifting Federations world record for squats at her age/weight. Can go here to see all the listed records http://wpfpowerlifting.com/CurrentWPFRecords/WPF%20WOMENS%20POWERLIFTING%20RECORDS10.03.13.pdf But it shows the current records for the teenager (15-19) and Junior (20-23)…

Squats - 195 Bench - 170 OHP - 115 Rows - 120 Deadlift - 215

Congrats. Great progress can really see the difference. Your image size is just a tad to big, try to keep the size to 600 pixels or less for posting to forums Yours is currently at 639 pixels for the width. Here is your image at 600 pixels

I had one of my favorite meals tonight, not sure really what to call it as was just trying to figure something out one night when hadn't been to the grocery store and did not have a whole lot left in the kitchen and turned out to be really good 1 package of Italian turkey sausage links 1 spaghetti squash 3 teaspoons Mrs…

I started c25k at 430 lbs. I plan on doing my first 5k in October and if the path stays true should be under 300 by then. You can start it at any weight. The point is to get you moving at a faster pace then you typically do working up to kepping that pace for 30 min straight. I plan on doing the complete program a couple…

My first toon was created on 11/24/2004 Day 1 of WoW. NE Hunter named Shamrokk on Shadowmoon. This is still my favorite class and toon and is the toon I still PVP on. Rerolled Enhance Shaman for the guild and raided on Shamshokk until guild rerolled Horde and went back to playing hunter. Stopped playing hardcore and…

Height: 6'3" Age/Gender: 38/Male Highest weight- 489 lbsCurrent Weight- 146 lbs Current Weight - 399 lbs Lowest weight- 210 lbs (right after basic training/ait in the Army) Goal weight- 225 lbs this is really a subjective number as my goal is to be fit and around 15% body fat but I know when I was 210 lbs and in the Army I…

Congrats on the loss, going to make getting up and down the sideline so much easier. Need to change IMG to img for pictures to show

Scratchmade Biscuts and Sausage Gravy. This has been the only thing that I have not had since Jan 1 as I know the moment I give in to it I am done. I could eat a dozen biscuts with sausage gravy and be upset that I didnt make more.
