Don't eat after 8 if you can help it. Chug a cup of water right before bed. Not too much so you have to pee at 2am but enough to stop the hunger. Works for me

I'll do it in two weeks. I honestly don't know what to expect. I will also be going to the doctor to get a full round of blood work done. It's been a few years. I'll probably buy a multi pack of scans since it makes better financial sense. Then I can rescan after a couple months of actual CrossFit.

Well maybe win was the wrong word. I certainly got $500 worth of training. 18 hours of semi personal training. That money will get me almost three months of 3x a week membership. 18 weeks of awesome training for $500 is a steal in my opinion. On a personal note. I do a fair amount of online dating and the gym has helped me…

I would love to hear you defend your position here. What does physics have to do with me working out and losing weight? I rode my bike a mile to the gym, did a half hour on the treadmill and a half hour of arms. Rode to my CrossFit gym and had a super intense hour and a half session then rode home. Today I talked with the…

It's not possible that if I don't eat enough that my weight loss stalls? I am very analytical so during my initial weight loss I kept notes every week. There was definitely a sweet spot of calorie intake . If I tried averaging 800-1000 calories a day I may lose 2 pounds that week. If I bumped it up to 14-1600 I'd get my…

The true test will be the Dex scan I take after the challenge ends. I will see how much fat I lost and whatever changes happened in my lean mass. I cannot under eat for very long or my weight loss stalls. I learned this already.

It's not unhealthy if I'm eating enough calories. Why is everyone here so negative? I lost 70 pounds in 5 months by changing my eating habits and did very little cardio. Now I'm spending 3-4 hours a week working hard and am being called out because apparently 3-4 pounds a week is too much. Don't forget I started off at 33%…

Had my week 4 weigh in Monday. After being a bit loose with my diet I buckled down hard over the weekend and was able to show a nice 3.2 pound loss for the week. That brought me to 19.8 total lost and most importantly to me out of the 200s. Seeing 198.4 on the scale felt like a huge victory. Going forward I will be hitting…

They made it a partner workout for us so halve it.

Week three down. Went off the diet rails last week because of some personal problems but rallied on the weekend for a 4.2 pound loss. That puts me at 201.6 for a total loss of 16.6 over the three weeks. The workouts are more difficult on paper yet easier to push through. I'm going to dial in my diet tighter from here on…

Second weigh in was yesterday. Everything is going better than expected. First off I'm down three more inches for a total of seven since I started the program. I weighed in at 205.8 so I'm down 12.4 from my beginning weight of 218.2. The diet portion of the challenge is the easiest part for me. The workouts continually…

I don't wear a HR monitor. I also don't pay attention to calories burned in relation to weight loss. I just got done with a very intense session and will be burning more calories overnight too. The only thing that matters is the scale moving in the right direction and anything else is overthinking which is something I try…

In case anyone was wondering why I feel so confident I will lose 20 pounds. This is the workout for tomorrow.

Gahh. Typed out a reply and the app ate it. 😂 First weigh in of the challenge was yesterday. I'm down 5 pounds. On my own I'm tracking measurements and am down 4" neck/chest/waist/hips. People are already noticing the changes. I'm starting to look forward to the workouts and we get pushed harder every day. The coaches are…

Completed my first workout yesterday. It was an intense full body workout. The lack of long periods of rest between workouts turned it into a cardio session too. This is everything I hoped it would be. I think the first week will not show a huge loss on the scale as my muscles refill with glycogen that I depleted from my…

Had my official weigh in and nutrition meal planning consultation tonight. 218 and the goal is to lose 20 pounds. I'm very confident that I can hit that goal. They really made the meal planning super simple.

Something else that merits mention here. The other guy who was at the initial sales pitch with me was pretty lean so they tailored the challenge to his needs and his goal is to gain lean mass. Anyhoo, follow along and see how I do. I will update often with a weekly weigh in and measurements.

Actually I went back and looked over my spreadsheet and I was mistaken. I have a few 20 pound loses over 6 weeks. Ya, it for sure will be difficult but I intend on giving it my all and will certainly be leaner at the end of the program.

I was 216.0 yesterday with 33.1 BF. 6% BF loss is 18 pounds of fat so 3 pounds per week. It's certainly not a scam. I get three hours of personal training each week. Meal planning and nutrition coaching. I lost more than 25 pounds in a six week span using this app and minimal cardio a few years back.

It's 25 pounds or 6% BF loss. The first gym I talked to had a 12 week program that cost $2600 and you didn't get that back so even if I fail to hit my goal it only cost me $500. They just uploaded the recipes and such and I'll look them over after work and see what kind of stuff they have me eating.

solid start. Keep your eye on the prize but don't sweat it if and when you stumble.

get it get it!!

Dating is flippin brutal. Married for 15 years then took 4 months off before jumping into the dating pool. At first its fun then it gets old and you just want to settle into something. I did just that and that was also a mistake. The real fun begins when you start questioning your own judgement. The struggle is real!

I weigh myself once a day but only record it once a week. Just remember that two cups of water weighs a pound so don't get all crazy if you are up a bit because its probably just water.

Holy hell man! I would have guessed there was a minimum of a 30 pound difference.

ok so I decided that I would take it easy for my birthday week. I stayed on task during the day but after work I pretty much ate everything. The weekend was flippin brutal. Between all that I ate and drank I ended up at 228 Sunday night. Mind you I was full of food and whatnot but still.... Nearly 20 pounds LOL. Well I…

Well today was the day I set for myself as a waypoint for my diet since it was the Monday closest to my birthday. It is also the day I planned on taking my new drivers license pic. I started this diet on 11/9 at 272. Today I was 209. I took my new DL pic and feel like the old me is gone for good. No more shocking people…

I was down then stable then up a bit but I am now in my final push. I have about 20 pounds to go but my focus is still pretty strong.

Staying hydrated is probably the only thing you can do. It seems as if genetics play the largest role.

I knew the feeling bro. The mirrors always seem to betray unless you get that perfect down lighting that helps pop any muscle definition you may have. When I made my initial loss I relied mainly upon measurements and how clothes fit. My ahh haa I think I finally made it moment happened when I fit into a certain size pair…
