Well, I dont have a new weight (because I havent weighed myself) but I have an update. Last Thursday was a rough day, it just sucked ass. And I had some meat. With that out of my system, I have been being better and I am losing more, I can tell. I am smaller in my cloths and its almost annoying how much some of them dont fit anymore. When I got this belt I had to use the second notch from the end. Well I am now down to the fourth notch so that is good. My weekly milage is increasing, but I am not eating much more. I went 10 yesterday and I didnt hit the wall until about 8.5 into it. Until then I was holdind down 9:00-9:20 miles then from like 8.5-9.5 I had a 10 minute mile and the last half mile I picked it back up to 9:15 or so. It was painful, but I got 'er did. I am happy, no ITBS pain! Taking that 10 miler with no problems cured me of my worries about playing ultimate again. I am still going to take it easy, but I am going to Georgia for spring break for a tournament. I plan to get a few good higher milage runs in there too, maybe the last day we are there I will hit up a 16-18 mile day. I am still getting more female attention, my lab partner and I are getting together Wednesday for a good two hour study session before class . I am going to go hard core on this weight reduction here until a week from Friday and not weigh my self until then. I was around 197 last Frieday, I am just hoping to be less and 188 by a week from Friday. I think its a good, achievable goal. So yeah, in about a week and a half there will be a new weight for Thor.

Same here. It sucks ass.

[Thor06]

Oh yeah, fuck you high metabolism people.

[blk_srt]

Well, according to a scale I was on today I'm down to 260lbs from 290lbs in november. Anyway I'm up to benching 275lbs, curling 150lbs, squatting 350lbs, ect. I've toned up quite a bit and have gotten quite a few compliments about it. Just the other day there were a couple guys in the weight room that told me they wished they were build like me. The other cool thing is the pants that used to fit me perfect now fall off without a belt, and the pants that used to be a little tight now are a little loose.

[ned032002]

Once I get a scale, I'll be adding my info into this thread cause I need some major weight reduction.

My goals are based on my passions in life, such as some day I want to go sky diving but to do it around here at the local jumping area you need to weigh in at less than I think 260. My other passion is obviously cars, it's not easy climbing around in cars that aren't built for the bigger crowd so I want to lose enough weight to be able to get into any car I want to without the worry if I'm going to get stuck.

Getting a scale this week.

[Thor06]

Update again. I am still 197, but I can tell I am still losing fat. I went down a notch on my belt so I am losing around my waist, but I am taking on a lot of muscle on my legs. They look more chisled and muscular and my knee brace used to have to have a full sock wrapped around my leg under the brace to keep it on the right spot. Now, I dont need the sock and I can even move it down on my leg where its supposed to. Since running doesnt seem to be taking away from my gut as much, I am going to do abs nightly from here on out to spring break in hopes of getting into a bit better "spring break" shape. I went 30 miles this past week and it felt great. I am trying for 36-40 miles this week. I am going 12 tomorrow, I had a 12 mile route planned for outside, but we are currently sitting under an extra 4-6 inches or so of snow so running outside it out. Looks like its going to be 110-130 laps indoors tomorrow .

I'm getting faster too, its great. A few weeks ago I was dieing after two 9:30 miles. Well, I did 6 miles today, averaging 8:30 minute miles . I've been doing some speedplay and hills this week, I realized its somewhat pointless to do just easy runs when I know I could be working some hills or doing pick ups through it. My long runs are slow, but I challenge myself endurance wise rather than speed wise. I was going to do a 5k on March 26th, but I am almost afraid to. I used to be able to bang out a 5k in about 21 minutes. A 5k is 3.1 miles, so I used to be able to string three less than 7 minute miles in a row. Now, though I can run long distance and higher quantities of miles per week, I have no speed. I could maybe eek out a 7:15 mile now, but no where near the 21:00 5k I used to be able to. Its after spring break, so its after I will have been doing sprinting for a week mixed with 3-7 miles per day and a 15 mile run towards the end. Anyway, done rambling. New weight on Friday.

You must have your seat up too high then, cause I'm 5'11" and I have no problems with my head touching the headliner...


Also as an update, I'm back up to 147...

[smoke121212]

o, im sorry i just reevaluated myself and came to the conclusion that im fuckin dumnass. I really should have checked that.lol

[Thor06]

LOL! I am 6'3" and I dont have much trouble either. If my hair is sticking up it rubs on the headliner, but its not bad. One thing though, the seat nees to go back farther. That is one plan when I get the new seats, they are going to be set back like another inch or so.

The 12 miler was death yesterday. I didnt have enough to eat and I was getting delerious on my way back to the dorm. I was seriously scared a bit, it was like being drunk of my ass, but without the giddiness. I'm good today though, not sore at all I think next week I am going to have a bit easier of a Saturday, maybe like a 3-4 mile shake out and I am going to try for a half marathon on Sunday, 13.1 miles yo! Not shooting for any time, just shooting to get it done. I would be happy with a 2 hour time though, that means getting a 4 hour time for the full shouldnt be hard at all. I dont know about my 15 miler planned for spring break, I am probably going to be wiped out like hell from ultimate, but hopefully I can still get a 10 in. Keep fighting the good fight yall.

I decided to change my goals. Originally I wanted to tone and build muscle but today I decided to go for more of an altheltic type body, meaning I'm going to do more explosion type exercises along with running. My goal is to be able to dunk a basket ball(already can get the rim, it helps being 6'5":wink) and I want to slim down to like a 34" waist. Right now I'm getting to the point where 38" pants are getting a little baggy and 36" is still a little tight so I think thats a good goal for now. Plus then I'll be at 34x34 when I buy pants

[ned032002]

Ok here's my info that I am Going to IMPROVE:

Weight: 404.2 lbs
Height: 6' 3"

Goals to lose at least 100 lbs. Drop down to a size 40 or a 38 and get down to a size 2XL shirt. And if you read before then you know my other goals.

Now that weight comes to a shock to me as well so no better give me shit for it. I'll do a weekly weigh in and also I'm going to fix my sig.

Good Luck everyone.

Update:

Weighed myself last night before I went to bed. A solid 160 and I hadn't eaten anything in a few hours. Halfway there...

Now I just need to lift more than once a week to start building more muscle since eating all the time has been helping.

[Thor06]

Update as promised. I weighed in today and I have to say I am as happy as I have been since I bought my Talon... almost a year ago to the day. I strip down, get on the scale and guess what... 194 after my ginormous chinese lunch. I thought I was going to be around 200, my diet has been slipping a bit. Not bad, just for like one meal every 5 days or so. So what is the significance of 194 you might ask? I am officially in the best shape of my life. The last time I was 194 was probably 7th grade. Then I was 220 in 8th, and 250 in 9th. So thats what, six years since I have been this light... not to mention that I was quite short back then as well. I dont know guys, I am on cloud 9. I feel fucking fantastic. So fantastic I am getting up at like 6:30 am to go for a nice 6-7 mile run before I have to leave for choir. I am going to need a good shake out after ultimate practice and stairs on Tuesday. I am going to clean up my diet a bit and get a more concrete work out structure and go the fuck for it. I think Sundays = long runs 10-20 miles, Monday = short easy day or day off, Tuesday = moderate distance speed, Wednesday = stairs usually 56 floors worth , Thursday = mid distance 4-10 miles, Friday = ultimate practice, and Saturday = easy 3-5 miler.

I have a new lease on life yall. Heres some good words to live by...
