Tinboats 2014 BIGGEST LOSER Challange

[RStewart]

I'm ready. I started out pretty good last year before I got off track & stayed off track. I usually weigh on Mondays but I think it will benefit me more to weigh on Fridays. I will however start on Monday the 6th & then start weighing on Fridays. I've got a long journey ahead, but my goal is to lose 100 lbs this year.


1/06/14 - 344.6
1/13/14 - 340.4

1/06/14: 199 lbs
1/13/14: 197 lbs
Goal: 185 lbs

I haven't been a part of this particular thread in years past, but I have been working on losing weight since September of 2012. I started at 290.0 and am presently at 257.2; I've made a lifestyle change that has really made me happy. I've fallen into a bit of a rut and have been kind of hovering in the 250s since October.

My goal is to get to the 220s this year - I don't remember any time my weight was that low and by god this is the year! I've also set a fitness goal for myself, because I believe that for me the best way to lose weight is to exercise more. My personal fitness goal is to be able to do 50 push-ups consecutively by the end of the year, so I'm also going to be posting that information along with my weight. I look forward to this challenge this year guys.

1/3 - 255.2 - no push-up number recorded
1/10 - 257.2 - 13 push-ups - Family was in town and I probably ate too many things that aren't good for me.

Het I just realized my start weight was 217 not 215 so I actually lost like 5 ½. That's the thing about loosing weight, at first it comes off pretty fast and the closer you get to you goal the harder it is............................ :LOL2: I really think just a couple pounds a week is the best way.

From what I've read, the "experts" say that people who lose the weight slowly, are the ones that will keep it off the longest or permanently.

That's what has worked for me. I think when you loose weight quickly, it's most likely due to drastic changes that you're not likely to keep up.

I'm just hoping for good results for all of us and that we reach our weekly goals at the end of each week.

Seven pounds in two weeks I’ll take it. It might not seem like a lot but I’m only trying to get down to 200. I’m looking for about 2 pounds a week.

Congrats to everyone losing a few lbs. I have never been overweight but have lost a few in the last 9 months. Thought I had gout last spring so I cut my beer intake by 95%. Pretty sure I don't have gout but don't really miss the brew. I also got a dog and have been walking him most days. I was 145lbs now 133lbs, almost my college weight.
