Not to step in but.... weight is a terible way to gauge your progress. My first comment would be to throw away your scale. I would have jumped on your little bandwagon earlier but I don't really want to loose much weight...just drop my bodyfat from 12% to 6%. A scale is bad because you could fluctuate 2-5 lbs in any given time during the day just in water weight.

Use a tape measure (soft), a picture, how your clothes fit, a bodyfat test to see how you are progressing...not the scale.

Make sure you are drinking .66 times your bodyweight in ounces of water per day. THis will do several things....flush your body of toxins if you have increased your protein intake, you will retain less water weight, you will burn more fat, and you will be more hydrated.

To loose bodyfat...you need to eat right (5-6 times a day to increase your metabolism and eat the right foods), do cardiovascular exercise to burn calories, and have resistive training to build muscle.

Note to women....you don't have to worry about looking like a muscle chick if you lift weights...a woman has to workout 3 times as hard as a man becuase you don't produce Testoserone. Lifting weights will actually make you more firm without necessarily making you weight less. Remember, muscle weighs more than fat.

THink of it this way...it's easy to gain fat...but fat burn no calories and it's hard to loose. Where ever you gained the fat first...that's where it will come off last. It takes time to build quality muscle but you can burn like 50 calories per pound when you are sitting in a chair. But if you don't keep working out, you can also loose the muscle pretty easy. No.... muscle gained does not change into fat when you quit working out. It's just easier to gain fat.

And you need to expend 3500 calories during exercise to burn just 1 lb of fat over and above what you are eating. You have to eat to loose and eat to gain...it's a crazy cycle.

I can post more on how to eat...what food to eat...how to figure out how many calories to eat...etc if you all would like.

Actually, one thing I've kind of been having trouble with is being able to figure out rough estimates of calories. I have an eating/ exercise plan that I'm feeling really good about, but sometimes it's hard to tell about how many calories I'm eating. I live on campus and therefor eat in the cafeteria the majority of the time and the cafeteria that I go to doesn't list nutrition info anywhere. Could you recommend a good calorie calculator online or something of that nature?

Suzi...fitday

www.fitday.com

There are some other great ones too if you don't like that one but I don't remember the URL's.

Doh...beat me to it.

Tyzo....


Weight can be a bad way to guage progress....but if you have alot to lose it can be helpful.

Weight can fluctuate many pounds a day!

Here is an article....about why if anyone wants to read.....to understand why your scale may be lying to you....

Why the scale lies....

I'm really thinking that maybe I should join you all...

I jumped on the scale last night and went...

I'm check again a couple of more times and let you know what I plan on doing.

Keep up the good work everybody. And so far I think Richard Cranium has given the baest advise...

5-6 "small" healthy meals a day, with the emphasis on low fat protien, fruits and vegtables, and lots of water or unsweated tea.

I don't know if fitday has a membership fee, but I really like Weight Watchers online.

Only $15.95 a month...

Plus...be careful about ONLY watching calories and not paying attention to fat consumption...




Agreed. I think this is just a fun way for all of us to get motivated to lose some weight and get back into shape...




DO IT!!!!

Join the fun!!!

Well, I officially started mine Jan 1 with a peak weight of 249. Last week I was 230, this week I'm 225.
My goal is 210 by May 20.

Very nice!!! Looks like you're well on your way to making it!!!

Tyzo- hit me man. I'll take whatever you've got. I use Dr. MacDonald's Hilton Head Metabolism Diet right now, and use the scale until I'm down to around 210, and then go by exactly what you said. Unfortunately, I'm well above that right now. I'm using the diet from about 1986, when he first published. It's probably been updated a million times by now.

Anyway, down 3.2 for the week, Redd. Move my marker.

Sorry folks, I got lost at the part... Redd was a Masseuse and HRGirl would like a message???

I'm so bad . Still holding the same weight, no loss for me . Maybe a message would help .

In this context....it's a good thing!



Nope.

Did I just post that???

Here is a good article my sister sent to me...

The Secrets of Thin People

You guyz are doing great! Keep it up.

Good read... I like the part about eating more frequently ...

Quote:

The National Weight Control Registry (NWCR), an ongoing study of how more than 5,000 people keep off the weight they’ve lost long-term, has found that successful weight maintainers tend to eat five small meals a day rather than three squares, which may make it easier to scale down portions.

Still holding steady at 223lbs here. Maybe lost 1lbs, my scale sucks. My pants are looser, but the scales not showing much. Go figure???

You going to be nice enough to help with a plan?

-2 for me today!!

Well, first I put 4lbs on to be realistic. I could really loose 10 (shshsh don't tell anyone).

My habits? No excercise. Like cream in my coffee. Eat candy, chocolate and high fat foods like they are going out of style. Pretty common sense really. However.... I've spent 2 weeks in the past, eating only low fat foods, salads, cutting back on carbs, etc and my weight didn't change so that's where I get got. However, now that I'm typing it out, I never really got my ass up and did anything. Maybe that's the ticket. But how much? I don't want to join a gym and waste the money. I have a bike, but I don't know how far I should bike. I have Alex I can push around in his buggy, but how far do I go and how often? I have stuff to do and don't always have time to exercise.

Maybe lypo suction :]

Congrats Joelmikel!!!!
Updating stats....

Mikey, The best I can reccommend for you is the eat lean meats and veggies and whole grains..but have portion control....and if you have the time...eating 5 or 6 small meals would be even better. Dont freak out on the cream in the coffee..1 or 2 cups isnt going to kill you. Dont eat a large meal and go to bed, but that is a given, stay away from fruit juices and soda, drink plenty of water.....but most importantly move! Walk when you can, but if you dont have time...buy some free weights and use them while your watching TV. Moving is the key! Be patient. I have been trying to lose 7 lbs for 2 months now...the last few pounds are the hardest! You may even find you havent lost an ounce and youre pants are looser.....Thats why a recommend taking your measurements for comparision so you dont get frustrated.

OK I know I'm not officially participating in this but somehow I lost around 4 lbs over the past week. I was weighing in between 199 and 202 last week. This AM I was 196. Oddly enough I have eaten poorly several times in the past few days. Friday I had some chicken fajita tacos then Sat I had a GREASY bacon cheeseburger (which sucked btw) and some spanish fries. Then I had some ice cream a few times since. I think maybe my metabolism needed a kick start or something.

OK.......Bad news.........ate crap all weekend (daughter's b-day party) and weighed in at 260 yesterday a.m!!!!! Haven't weighed that much in 3 years......scary!!

Good news.......ran with the boys for about 40 min's last night at their track practice

Bad news........still weighed 260 last night

Good news.......lost about a lb of it this a.m


I'm beginning to wonder if there's something wrong with me. In the last couple months I've been gaining weight like CRAZY!!! And I don't think I'm eating any worse than I have previously

Unfortunately...you're probably just getting older.

As we age our metabolism slows meaning that we can longer eat the same foods and stay the same weight...

If you're concerned about it, I would go get a physical which is always a good thing to do anyways before starting a new diet/exercise regime.

Hang in there!

We're here for you!!!

Only other thing I'm thinkin' it could be, is that for about 3-5 months last year I was running about 3.5 miles one day, then lifting the next. Weight was still hanging around 245......wasn't losing anything really, but thought maybe I was seeing/feeling some changes in the mirror. Got sick in between Thanksgiving/Christmas & quit for about month or 2. Have picked the running back up last few weeks, though not at the same distance 'cause of the increased weight. Knee has been bothering me again afterwards too.

Anyway.........quit that about 4 months ago, but wondering if my sudden weight increase the last 6 weeks or so is tied to that............delayed reaction???

Sorry about sounding like your wife...



Er....umm....

I'm guessing that's probably it!!!

You used to be working out and now you're not, but still eating the same...

Ding, ding, we have a winner!

Seriously, I think exercise is the key to weight loss.

If exercise feels too hard on your body, then you should focus on losing a few pounds by just eating better.

Then, once you've lost a little bit of weight 5-10 lbs., get started with exercise again...

That's what I did and I feel much better even after only losing 6 pounds so far.

Losing and gaining fat is a funny thing.....

You can eat right and excersize and not lose an ounce on the scale for a long time, and then wake up and BAM 3-4 pounds gone. The reason for this is when your body loses fat....it replaces the fat lost with water....after your body realizes that its really not coming back....it will lose the water that took the fats place....

When you gain weight at the rate you are, it almost works in the opposite manner....for every glycogen store you have, your body attaches 2 water molecules to it.....your body is storing glycogen because you arent burning it up with excersize. so you are gaining....that is in no way "All" fat, alot of it is water.

You also have to take into consideration that your wife is expecting.....When I was preggers, when I gained weight...so did hubby. He actually developed cravings too. I would have to run to the grocery store and buy him pecan praline ice cream cause he "needed" it. The cashiers would laugh at me cause they thought it was for me!

Or you could be getting your period soon.

Whatever the case...once that new baby comes home.....you will start up losing again. You wont have time to eat...and whatever time you do have, you will be needing your sleep!

I added you to the list Brett!

Well I'm still holding at 176. I haven't been able to get much exercise this week, but I've been eating good. My pants are fitting better and my beer belly is getting smaller.

You 'da shit Anna.........Is there anything that you don't know about??? I've wondered about if I was gaining sympathy weight. I've been joking about it........only problem is that my wife will be losing hers in a few weeks, and I'll still be.....FAT!! BTW........Praline Pecan ROCKS!!!

I'm not looking forward to tomorrow's AM weigh in

Me neither!!!

I jumped on the scale today to take a peek and I only lost 0.2...

We'll see what shows up on the "official weigh-in" tomorrow morning...

Yeah, this weeks gonna be a dud for me too. I had the flu for three days and barely ate anything and didn't DO anything either. Jumped on the scale yesterday morning just for giggles (I hadn't eaten anything besides a couple juice boxes and some mini-wheats for running on three days) and I weighed in at 134... but I'm pretty sure the Sunday am weigh-in isn't gonna show any real improvement now that I'm actually eating again.

I think I'll be okay....the water I was retaining seems to be dropping off.

Ate great...got alot of excersize in before I fricken hurt my neck....

yesterday and today are shot...

Its damn near 70 degrees out and I cant even ride my new bike!

I hit that shit hard today. Thought I was going to puke and then pass out.

Not sure why actually since the workout itself isnt that hard. I just got winded and kept on hammering.

My Friday weigh in:

I lost a WHOPPING 1.2 Lbs. I DID however manage an impressive 4% bodyfat loss!

May take a while for the pounds to catch up, but I'm sure alot leaner!

Hey you did better than me!!! My weigh in said I lost 1 whole whopping pound!

DAMN, DBLXX came out of nowhere! I better get on the ball!

+1....let's pick it up Deac!!!

When you have a ton to lose...it comes off fast.

Plus...I am starve myself.

Not really...but I skip a lot of meals !!!!!

Friday's weigh-in... Up .5~1lb. . Don't really get it as I've been working out with cardio and weights. I worked out for 2.5 hours at a time, twice this week. This just sucks. I think I'm getting bigger, not smaller

...and hungry as hell!

Not good Dave...

Not good at all...

You still need to eat...



It's difficult to know what is happening with your body, but I'll go with the "your gaining muscle mass" point of view...

Actually, if you have recently started working out again, that is probably the truth...

But it sucks to hear..

Keep at it...you should see some weight loss in the next couple of weeks...
