Operation Weight Reduction/Get In Shape Official Update Thread

[Thor06]

Ok, many of you may remember the "Operation Weight Reduction" and the sig dealies. Well, it seems to have sorta died off and I (for one) got off track when I hurt my knee. Well, in light of the New Year and a chance to start over, lets get this shit rolling! Heres what I would like from everyone.

Post up your current weight, height, goals, and what you are doing to get it off. You also may want to include other things too. Then, as updates become available, post up your new weight, change since the beginning, change since the last update, and time since last update. Like the first post, other things, such as change in max on bench for example, you may want to post up. Heres some examples...

1st Post:
Weight: 286 lbs
Height: 5' 8"
Goal: 200 lbs
Method: Skating and jumping jacks

Update:
New weight: 249 lbs
Change since beginning: 39 lbs
Change since last update: 22 lbs
Time Since Update: 9 days

I need to check out my shit so I will post up my real stats later.

This contest is going to start at January 1st 2007 at 12:00:01 AM and run through April 30th 2007 at 11:59:59 PM. Be sure to check in during the last couple days of April as a final update, if not you last update will count as your final weight. I will keep a tally on who is doing this and try to PM you as a reminder.

Before and after pictures would be cool too.

One thing though guys, lets be honest about this.

I dont have anything for the winner and since it would be so easy to cheat we wont have one, but it would be really cool to see some of change our lives and that should be reward enough. Winner gets bragging rights I suppose.

Take it easy guys, and good luck!

Ok, got my shit for my current weight.

Start------------
Weight: 220
Height: 6'3"
Build: excess fat, but pretty much on the midsection only, not much muscle, not very well toned
Method: Running, push ups, situps/crunches, lifting once I get back to school, eating less and eating right

Goal-------------
Weight: 180
Build: not big, just moderate mass and toned, 6 pack

Also, I will keep a running tally in the first post of people that joined, what they started at, and where they are.

Keep in mind guys, this just isnt for the people that are overweight. People that want to gain weight, stay the same but get in better shape, or people that just want to get in better shape regardless of what they weigh are welcome too. This is a general get in shape movement. I'm going to sticky this soon enough too.

[david-b]

Current:
--------
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 141 lbs
Build: Toned

Goals:
------
Weight: 155 lbs
Build: Buff
Method: Work out every day (situps, pushups, weigh work), protein bars/shakes, 5 meals a day, running.


I don't have any pictures, but I used to be in shape really good. And that muscle is still there. Everyone says I have football plaer shoulders, because they're wider across than what most people my height/weight have. I have a 6 pack, but no always defined the way I want it. I want a bigger chest, and biceps and arms all around. A bigger neck would be nice also.

Build: ?

Goals:
------
Weight: 140 lbs
Build: 6 pack
Method: I have no ideal, im busy every day, and eat what ever I can eat, no schecule for work out . I want to be taller.

[blk_srt]

Start------------
Weight: 272(down from 290 a few months ago)
Height: 6'4.5"
Build: excess fat, pretty muscular I guess, but not very tone
Method: Cardio, push ups, situps/crunches, lifting, eating less and eating right

Goal-------------
Weight: 250ish(havent quite decided)
Build: Toned, I would like to get to the point of a 6 pack or at least flat abs

[l_eclipse_l]

Current:
--------
Height: 6' 3"
Weight: 155 lbs
Build: Skinny and a little bit of muscle tone, decent abs

Goals:
------
Weight: 165 lbs
Build: Put a little more meat on me, whether it be fat or muscle I'm not gonna be picky
Method: I'm going to eat like a motherfucker. I got a good start since Christmas when there was a ton of food around, so I may be slightly heavier than what I posted but I will go from there anyway since it seems to be so hard to gain the weight and then keep it. I will also start lifting weights 2-3 times a week when I get time and back at school.

I like the idea of this thread. The world (United States) is becoming so fat nowadays, it's things like this that will drive people into becoming more healthy and improve their lives.

Thank you. Its weird, the last two years of my life, I noticed a few people gaining weight, but easily 3-4x more people were losing weight including three major weight losses in my show choir alone. Well, since I left for college it seems almost everyone that graduated stacked on a couple. That and a special new girl is enough motivation to get back into it. I cant wait to get on the scale and see my goal met. I am into the pushups and crunches and I have to say it feels good, I can definately tell a difference. I am eating considerably less, and for the most part I am eating better. The second I hit 180 straight up I am going to go back to my room, take my after pics, and post up. Good luck everyone.

Update:
New weight - 215
Change since beginning - 5
Change since last update - 5

I guess I'll add my stuff to this list as well now...


Current:
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 144 lbs
Build: Average

------------------

Goal:
Weight: 160 lbs
Build: Toned/Extra muscle

I was only at 115 lbs last spring but I have slowly brought it up to 144 now by eating lots of extra food and sitting around more. Now that I have some weight on me I plan to turn it into muscle by working out to get it toned. Then I will work on bulking it up here...

[Thor06]

Update!
New weight: 207
Change since last update: -8lbs

I just worked out and weighed myself, I'm nearing 200! Ok guys, I have tried everything and yo mama to lose weight. Atkins, vegetarianism, eating once a day, anorexia (not too proud of that), etc. Pretty much all but bulemia. Well guys, since this last Saturday I have been eating 4-6 times a day and 300-400 calories each time. Its working great! Granted its hard as hell, I am always hungry, but its working so good! Even on that week when I ate nothing I only lost 10 lbs and I got some of that back once I started eating again. I was around 215 as of last Thursday and didnt start losing until Saturday. About 8 lbs in like 5 days! Weekly updates from me from now on. Good luck guys!
