I bet you would get a really good workout riding a bicycle across the seven mile bridge in a hurricane. |jester|

Hmmm....if you timed it just right, since the bridge runs mostly west-south-west, you could ride from Marathon to Big Pine with the wind at your back on the approach of the storm and then ride back with the wind behind you again once the eye moved past and the wind direction reversed. Maybe we should send this idea to the folks working on Jackass III.

:D

Here's today update.

88.3 kg (194.26 Lbs) but I haven't eaten yet today.

I'm not gonna weigh myself for a few days because I know exactly what I have done. Friday and Saturday were spent eating junk at the local festival this weekend, Sunday was spent with my ass planted in front of the TV from noon to 11pm feeding my face watching football, and today is my birthday and I'll be going out to eat probably twice.

Here's mine for today :)

I didn't take a pic today, but I'm the same as yesterday, 179. I might just wait a few days, as I don't want to get frustrated at seeing the same weight over and over, lol. Yesterday we took a break from working out to heal up, but plan on going back out this morning for a walk in the park and some bad mitten. :D It was kinda cool when I realized I had cereal for breakfast, then a slimfast for lunch, that by the time dinner came I wasn't as starving as usual...think my body is adjusting somewhat to the reduced calories. I hate the first few days when you are starving all the time.

If you want another field added, let me know.

Well got to busy yesterday and forgot to post my weight so here is todays :) its looking good so far now i hope i can keep it up.

I know I have skipped a few days being in Buffalo. But, tomorrow I will post a fresh picture. I fully expect to have gained at least 5 pounds over the weekend. We ate constantly. :)

I'm too fucking tired to pick up a camera and walk over to the scale - it's been a weekend from hell...... I'll weigh tonight when I wake up.

Well fuck

Too depressed/upset with myself to take a pic, but I stepped on the scale and I gained 3 pounds just as I suspected. Thats what I get though for eating deep fried shit all Friday night and Saturday night, drinking 8 beers Friday night, and then sitting on my ass all day eating and watching football Sunday.

I gained 3# as well, but I swear: the only thing I ate that I should not have was Jim's Mild Flavored Chili.

...and maybe a muffin or 2 and some not-burnt chocolate chip cookies.

The scale says I stayed the same as yesterday....

185 lbs

Well I am at 380 now lost a half a pound

Don't get discouraged guys.. muscle weighs more than fat, so if you are working out, you might gain a bit. On the huge plus side, it takes more calories to support muscle, and your metabolism gets revved up for about 24 hours after a workout. You may think you are gaining weight but you really are not.

Another huge thing that I think gets missed -- Water. Shoot for 1 quart per every 50 pounds (1 litre/25 kg) to really hydrate well like the Pittsburgh Steelers do. If you are soda drinkers, cut the soda and watch the pounds drop like crazy.

And so what if you had a cheese enchilada or a muffin, or chocolate chip cookies? Don't beat yourselves up, go for a walk, have a nice big glass of water, and tell yourself how great it tasted. Then, start back on your regimen. You're all still human... still delightful... and still can take false steps. The ideal would be to go for a walk, drink the water, and forget about the treat, but hey... such is life.

You're all making great progress because you are trying to change.. you are all getting more active, and that is the best part. Now.. keep it up.

Monday morning weigh in...157

damn i need to cut my toe nails

Hey wait just a second!

There were no specific rules. I was holding out "strategically".

I needed a few pounds to lose. So I packed em on over the weekend.

I'm at 170 lbs. now....dripping wet :) My goal is 153 lbs. whew that's a lot to lose.

Here's my toes

WHY THE FUCK DID THIS MAKE ME WANT TO SEE JUST HOW LONG THESE TOE NAILS WERE????

|nahnah|

Sorry for dumb question but not being a native speaker I'm not sure what you mean. By soda you mean carbonated water or drinks like coke, sprite and so on? I try to avoid soft drinks but I drink lots of carbonated water. I heard still water is better but I didnt know carbonated water was a no-no ?

It's been a long day - bedtime weight this time:

I think he means soda pop - coke, pepsi, etc. There's a shitload of empty calories in pop.

i think i lost a pound. maybe i'm just thinking light. or getting stressed out. eh.|huh|crazy|

|huh I announce the start of the contest & repeatedly remind you that it's started:

So when I got here yesterday morning & saw no pic from you, I took you out.

Now, after you've been eating like a pig & packing on weight while everyone else is dieting, you want in? How is that fair to everyone else?

I think there's going to be another contest after this one - go stuff your face for 2 months.

You sound pretty serious, Greenie :)

Blurry pic but same weight ... 210 lbs.

I'd blame the weather for keeping me inside instead of out getting exercise but ... oh hell, why not, it's all Ike's fault.

:D

Still the same weight, 179 today. I'm sure eventually, it will trend down, lol. I'll take a pic tomorrow no matter what it is.

As I put in the morning thread though, I can feel everything toning up from the walking, so I'm not too discouraged since I know I'm putting on muscle. I've also always gained and loss very slowly...it has taken me 9 years to put on 40 lbs, I don't expect to lose it overnight. I've lost a 1/2" in my waist, and that makes me more encouraged then only losing 4# (3 before we started)

WTG! It is a start, and believe me, I know what it is like to lose really slowly. Keep it up. |thumb

Alright... Good luck everyone :)

Here's my pic for today, looks like I gained a little weight (89.7 kg or 197.34 Lbs). Must be all those muscles I put on today :)

Oh yeah and I'm trying different poses on the scale :D

I looked at the pic before I read this & was about to ask what kind of strange scale you had over there :D

***

Down to 216.0 |thumb
