In a rush today... would like to say that I actually gained a few pounds over the holiday. Damn BBQ! Anyway, I will work extra hard in the gym this week to drop it back down. Not a big deal. :wink:

NP! :smile:

LOL I was about to post the same thing and then saw you beat me to it. What gives people? We are missing like 20+ people now.

MFC Starting weight: 285 Starting weight: 276 Current weight: 267 Challenge Goal Weight: 250 Goal weight: 202 Weight gain/loss this week: -4

Seem to have hit a plateau weight wise these last two weeks. Still gaining muscle and lost 2 inches off my waist. Yesterday was Father's Day so my wife made me a very sinful hot fudge sundae for dessert. It was so bad, but oh SO GOOD! :laugh: MFC Starting weight: 285 Starting weight: 276 Current weight: 271 Challenge Goal…

You are in the same boat as me. I am trying to gain muscle while at the same time losing weight. Most of the advice given above I would agree with. What I have been doing and it has been working for me is Chad Waterbury's Total Body Training Program. You can find it free on T-Nation. So basically I do 3 total body workouts…

Well if this helps let me say that 3 years ago I got myself down from 280's to 219lbs. I am supposed to weigh somewhere around 202lbs. so you can see how close I was. Then I went through some troubles in my life and fell away from the gym. I kept my weight to around 240 but during this last year I got back up to the 280's…

Question... Lannilou has been MIA for two weeks on this. Anyone know if she is doing okay? I hadn't seen anyone ask yet so I don't mean to pry. Just hope she is doing good.

Caught the flu this end of this last week. Was only able to workout first part of week. In order to makeup for the missed workouts I drank a lot of extra water (good for staying hydrated with flu anyway) and ate lighter (didn't have much of appetite anyway). I did however start back to the gym today feeling 100%. Even…

Been looking for this thread since Monday. Better late then never. :smile: Here is my week 3 stats: Starting weight: 276 Current weight: 272 Goal weight: 202 Weight gain/loss: -4

I still don't see it? Can anyone post the direct link to it?

I started this ab workout today and I really have to say that I am feeling it. Starting out it may seem extreme but the final goal is to complete it with as little breaks and time between exercises as possible. So after awhile you should be able to complete it as one fluid transition of exercises. But at the beginning take…

Well he does not provide a range per say. If you are 5'11" and small boned then your weight would be 173 or so. But it is awesome that you realize how your body performs. I think without having a personal trainer and/or doctor telling you what YOUR body's ideal weight is it is often easy to get lost and lose your…

Diann your doctor's advice is more than likely true, but it leaves too much up for guessing as far as individual ideal body weights go. Hopefully this will help you guys come up with a healthy ideal weight goal. One thing that I would like to point out is that the BMI is completely outdated and promotes unhealthy diets,…

Awesome! I really like the tally you are doing each week. It is motivating.

Starting weight: 276 Current weight: 276 Goal weight: 202 Weight gain/loss: 0 I did not lose any weight. It went up and down between 277 and 276 all week. But my body fat% went down by 3% so I still consider this a victory! I contribute this week to gaining lean muscle mass so that my weight stayed the same, but lost some…

Yes, 1400 calories today for a man is a BIG NO NO. It will send your body into starvation mode in which it will actually begin to store fat. Not to mention the health risks and nutritional deficiencies that it will create. There are tools on this site and others that will help you figure out your BMR. And you should get a…

Thank you for this inspirational topic! It was a blessing. :happy:

I agree with all of the advice given so far. I will add that it is important to realize that missing one day at the gym is nowhere close to missing a week or even 2 weeks of working out, which would obviously have the potential to reverse progress. Especially if you are working out consistently 4-5 times per week. If you…
