Weight loss/ lifting/ dieting thread

[2talltim]

Another double round of cardio tonight. Was feeling really pumped to push it hard tonight. Day one of protein shake meal replacement went off with out a hiccup. 10 days till vacation, will be extremely  hard on myself till then.

Back down to my pre holiday weight.!!!

[JustinNck1]

The gym was full of new faces last night. I guess the new year wave is already starting. At least the views are nice...

[what]

got sick and gained water weight. at least that's what i'm telling myself. 

[ScubaCinci]

Made it to the gym today (most of the family finally left town) and it was pretty busy for a weekday afternoon. This next month is going to suck there.

[what]

down 7lbs since the switch back to chickum & salad. lighter and faster track andy, coming this spring.

I noticed the gym crowd is already starting to thin down already. I am very close to the 25 lbs lost mark. Haven't been losing as much with weight training mixed i with my cardio, but I can feel the difference in my arms, shoulders, and waist.

I was sick too and didn't eat for like 2 days lost 5lbs..lol...I might actually be real close to that 229.9 unobtainable goal I set for myself for this Saturday morning. I'll post a weight in when I do it.

[2talltim]

Didn't make it under 230 but close. Hoping for only 10lb regain this week on vacation.

[ScubaCinci]

Close enough...you are one good away from 230

[JustinNck1]

Eclipsed the 25 lbs lost mark today. The last week and a half has been like a brick wall. Weight just stayed the same, but I kept pushing harder in the gym and started losing again.

[what]

down 10lbs, almost through the "holiday addition". 

[ScubaCinci]

I pretty much held steady through the holiday and have relaxed a bit on my diet/exercise program to a maintenance level to give body a break as I'm within 25lbs or so of my original goal. I head on a dive trip to Indonesia for 3 weeks in February and then I'll crank it back up again. I'll prolly lose weight on that trip ...I'm a picky eater - especially when it comes to veggies which is a big part of Indonesian/Asian food. It's rice and meat for me!

[ScubaCinci]

Progress...I'm not usually one for selfies  but feeling good today

I have nothing but shame for what I did during vacation. So till I get back to where I was no bragging for me.

[ScubaCinci]

I go on vacation for 3 weeks in 2 weeks so I'm making hay now...

Wife's got me doing the "fast metabolism" diet.  Took the dog on a 7 mile walk....I think its working!

[blue03636]

Well I have been going to the gym 5-6 days each week, so i figured I would give a pre-workout a shot for those days I'm feeling sluggish and not motivated. Rode the motorcycle Saturday and can tell my jacket is fitting lose now, gonna have to tighten the waist straps.

[2talltim]

Have taken off about half of my vacation gain, haven't exercised yet due to a very busy week and weekend. Will be hitting the cardio hard this week, cant lift due to fucking up my hand working on cars this weekend. Hope to have the regain gone by this time next week.

[JustinNck1]

First workout with the new pre-workout. Definitely helped getting the last couple reps in a set. Feeling the caffeine crash though.

[2talltim]

Still only taken off about half of my vacation regain sitting at 242 right now. Asking myself why, and I know they answer. It's because I think ive only worked out once since ive been back. Then I ask myself why that is, and where did my motivation go? The only answer I could come up with is because I haven't given myself another short term goal. So here it is. I'm going to need to buy myself another riding jacket and pant for this season, my old stuff was loose as hell for the fall gap trip and I'm 15lbs lighter than I was then. I DO NOT want to have to buy stuff for 2018 too so I need to get as much weight off as I can before I order new stuff. Soooo, my new short term goal is to be at or below my 219lb long term goal by the beginning of May. So that's 22 lbs. in 3 months. I have a few other excuses why I fell off the wagon too but screw excuses I'm back on track.

[2talltim]

Last nights work out kicked my ass, almost threw up. Pushed myself on the treadmill harder than I ever have. Probably what I need to do a few days a week now.

[JustinNck1]

Today marks 3 full months of my new lifestyle change. I am 30 lbs lighter, I have more strength and muscle, and I have more energy. Next goal is to be down another 30 lbs by the gap trip.
