Operation Weight Reduction/Get In Shape Official Update Thread

[Thor06]

Hey guys, sorry I fell behind on updating the first post. I'll get on that tonight or tomorrow.

I just thought I would throw in a little update on me. Spring break was good on me, despite the bad eating and beer that one night. I am below 190 I am almost certain, but not entirely positive. Right now, I am guessing that I am between 186 and 188. I dont know that 180 is realistic without looking manorexic, but I still have a couple to lose I think. I am back on my diet today and I am back with avengence to the distance running that I havent been able to do in a week.

I am starting on a new plan. I think I am past the massive weight loss part, now I am on to the fine tuning part of my body make over. I am now down around 30-35 lbs from Christmas, or around 60-65 on my life. I dont have a lot of excess fat to lose anymore, just a little around the belly, maybe a bit on my cheeks and neck, some on the lower back, and maybe a little on my inner thighs. I am going to continue my diet until I cant check my body fat percentage and once its at 9-11% I am going to level it off. I am going to do track practice, stairs, and ultimate practice for speed/power workouts and I am going to do a short distance easy, two mid distances (aiming for 6-10 miles), and a long distance (12-20 miles) every week. In addition to this, I am starting abs tonight so hopefully that will help the 6 pack come though a bit, and I am going to do a jumping work out maybe like 4-5 days a week. I am a taller guy but my vertical sucks. I dont know what it is now, but I can only touch like the bottom 2" of net. My goal is to grab rim by next fall, since I am usually deep look (guy that runs deep for the "hail mary" of frisbee) I need to be able to jump higher so I can get the disc. Yeah, this is all going to take a bit more time, but I stopped work and I am going to cut my slacking so I can focus more on my body and school so it should be fine.

I have a bit more motivation now too, not just for me. Theres a girl back home I like and I may try to persue. Shes not vain like that to where she would turn someone down because of what they look like, but I want to look my best for someone I like ya know?

Anyway, done rambling. I think I am going to do my next update on April 1st. That will be when I come with the pics... where I started, where I've been, and where I am now. I think I will be forever on the quest for the perfect body, but I am hoping to be almost done with the weight loss part by April. Keep pushin yall!

I'm down to 264 as of today. I've been eating like crap lately, mostly because we dont have a kitchen due to remodling but also due to my lake of will power and disiplin as of late. I attribute the weight loos to me running/jogging/powerwalking/lazy walking around 10 miles for 4 nights over spring break and now instead of driving to the gym after school I run the mile and a half 2 miles. My goal was to be built and be around 250 but I've gotten more into basketball so I stopped weightlifting for the most part and I'm now focused on doing body weights(push ups, sit ups/crunches, dips, running, ect) in the hope to lose more weight and I am also trying to increase my verticle. I'm pushing 6'5" and I'm half black so jumping comes kind of natural lol, but seriously I can hang on the rim but I cant get enough to get the ball in there to so thats my goal. So I think I'm going to shoot for 230ish now. I think that is a good weight to be toned at espically for my height. By the way Dustin how did you do in your ultimate frisbee?

Another update. Down to 257 as of today. I've dropped almost 10 pounds in under a month and I am really starting to see results. My chest stomache isnt as toned as I would like but everything else is coming along nicely. I've been running for about 3 miles 3-4 times a week but that has been postponed due to the recent snow, but I will be back on track by monday hopfully. Other than that I bought a pair of those strength shoes, so hopfully that will help my verticle. Incase anyone forgot I started this weighing 290lbs and my original goal was 250. How's everyone else doing?

I'm at 152 right now and seeing massive muscle gain all around... Only spot I'm lacking is my freakin abs. What the heck is up with that?

So I really haven't been dieting in a while up until I moved 2 weeks ago. Well since my knee injury 7 weeks ago I've been enlightened on how bad alot of weight can be on a knee. So a week ago I started the "Meat" diet, basically all you do is eat meat because it has no carbs in meat. So I've done just that, I've eaten only meat for a week and a half and I started at 404.2 lbs (a lot of weight) and I weighted myself today in at 393.2 lbs...11 lbs!! So this gives me a lot of confidence now that I'm seeing results. I'm going to continue this for a while and very soon I'm going to start a routine at the gym. So theres my update.

[Thor06]

Yeah, I am not as good as I used to be either. I got down to a solid 195 for a while there, then the end of school hit. I was awake from 6 am until 2 am with atleast one all nighter per week during the week and then I would get like 8-10 hours on the weekends. Being up all night like that I would get hungry in the middle of the night and sure enough, there is nothing remotely healthy in the vending machines. I tacked on a couple there, and coming home sure as hell didnt help. For one, my mom buys and cooks food that is very not healthy, but for number two its been a kinda sucky few months. Long emo story, but my two best friends are getting into some shit they shouldnt and arent even the same people I used to be friends with. Anyway, I found two new people that have been existing good friends but are still stand up people. I feel a lot better now and I care about myself again. Unfortunately I have tacked on a few extra pounds again but hopefully I can get back into shape for school.

I'm holding at a steady 155ish... I have slacked off though for the last 2 months... I just started gettin back into things last week here...

[ned032002]

Just weight'd myself a minute ago on this sunday morning and I am now down to 382.2 lbs and so my total loss so far is 22 lbs and thats been in less than 3 wks.

I quit lifting at the end of the school year and never really gained any weight. I was feeling stronger but now that I haven't lifted weights really in 2 months I've pretty much lost any strength I had gained. Oh well, back to working 60 hour weeks and never having time to eat...

[gthompson97]

Pretty sure I'm still the same weight. I still drink alot and do alot of wakeboarding, so that burns off the beer calories (I assume), so I'm still around the ~175 mark I believe.

[ned032002]

379.2 is now what I'm down to.

[blk_srt]
