....because i lost 10lbs in the last 10 days!

started weight watchers with a friend of mine. i've always been very active but i just eat too much. i'm having to re-learn proper portion size and eating habits.

anyhoo, 10 down, 25 to go! i started at 247, am 237 now and shooting for the 210 range.

i bet if i shaved my back hair i'd be down to about 230 :love:

Good job, man. Keep it up

 

[chicodude]

Ew.....back hair......gross...

 

[manziman]

Well, thanks to college, I'm down to one meal a day, about 20-25 miles of riding, 3-7k of swimming, and then walking to classes mixed in. I'll either die or be in awesome shape. Good luck with your deal.

 

[douglas]

one meal a day? I'm thinking you end up sick/unhealthy

 

[Konabumm]

Good job man keep it up... 2 years ago I was 255 and now I'm 190 - 200 and its great. Good Luck I hope you reach your goal

 

[COmtbiker12]

That's awesome!!! Last April I was about 225ish, and now I'm 195-200.

I was in a similar boat. Before college 190-195. During college 150. There was never much money left for food and I was riding every spare minute I could squeeze in. That was my secret of weight loss, go to college out of state and work full time to pay for it. After school I've floated around 160-165 for the past 3 years (except when I broke my shoulder and fell in love w/ beer ).

The old man is around the same size as you manimal. He's in his 50's and I got him into riding around 2001. He doesn't get to ride as much as he wants to w/ his job, but he digs it and its helped him loose a fair bit of weight over the years. It seems the hardest part he has is getting to his target and then reverting back to old habbits (he works in the restaurant buisness so poor temtations are always there). But when he stays w/ his strategy, he's a pretty healthy old dude.

Your metabolism is likely to get all f***ed up eating like that.

 

[Crazy Sweeper]

way to go man keep it up. It's a great boost to your ego when you really start taking the weight off. I remember last fall after I had lost my first 30lbs, at the club I noticed girls actually checking me out. The one thing that isn't so great is the cost to completely replace your wardrobe.

I've lost 50lbs since last year. 180 from 230.

 

[BigMike]

I think you should loose like 300 more pounds, and then go on the commercials with "results not typical" under you

hehe..." i lost 30lbs in one day by using this simple -leg amputation- product.....gauranteed to drop 30lbs or your money back!"

 

[blt2ride]

Good job! Keep it up, man...

for once...

Your body will eat up all your muscle tissue.

Anyway, good job, manimal...how are you dealing with donut breaks?

I did it for about 6 months 3 years ago, and I was in killer shape, but it may not work for everybody.

I save my back hair and use it as stuffing for throw pillows that I give as gifts.

Good job cop!

Awesome...I sure hope I'm on YOUR Christmas list!

 

[Tenchiro]

Damn, that is alot of weight to lose so quickly... I would be careful dropping it so quickly.

Good job though.

That is what I was thinking. Maybe a little dehydration?

But if Manimal is active and has a good fitness base and just always overate he should be able to shed pounds fast.

cntr-F didn't find it (unless i spelled my search wrong).

Awesome man, I came to football pre-season at about 210, and now I'm about 190 give or take a few. Feels good! I lost all that weight it about 4 1/2 days.

 

[hooples3]

way to go manimal!! keep it up

ok. you lost 20 pounds in 4.5 days.

was this some sort of freshman football camp enema hazing ritual?

yeah I'm going through that now...sucks but I getting the results I want so I can't really complain but I hate shopping....D

not really. my exercise/workout routine is the same. 5 days a week. 40-60 min heavy lifting, 20-30min run. the only difference now is that i'm not eating:

-double cheeseburger
-whatever wife fixed for dinner
-10 microwave chicken nuggets
-3 bowls cereal
-grilled stuffed burrito (taco bell)
-3 cookies from subway

once i cut out all that crap and replaced it with something my body can use it just happens.
it's kind of weird for me with any kind of routine because i rotate shifts every 3 weeks. i have my 3rd shift plan down and now i have to figure out how i'm going to eat on 2nd this week.
3rd was easy.
dinner @ 6pm-ish, something healthy like grilled chicken with veggies....
-go to work at 8pm-
2 plums or a pear around 9pm
snackwell cookies around midnight
healthy choice type of meal around 130am
more fruit or can of veggies around 4
workout from 5am to end of shift at 630
go home, take kids to school
my signature bowl of cereal w/ cottage cheese mixed in
go to bed.

i've actually had a hard time eating enough to keep up with my points, especially after points are added in for excercise.

i'm just wondering how i'll be on 2nd shift from 3pm - 130am. my food needs and cravings will be different.

 

[manimal]

Anyway, good job, manimal...how are you dealing with donut breaks?

ding ding ding! somehow i figured that you'd chime in with that first

actually, i haven't had a doughnut in over 6 months. i love to eat them but i always feel like ARSE (used that word just for you :love: ) afterwards. plus they always try to come back up when i'm running

 

[caboverpete]

Good job man! Keep it up. This time 2 years ago I weighed 205 and climbing, as of now im at 145 and been there for the last 10 months.

 

[valve bouncer]

I thought this thread was gonna be a re-hash of your vasectomy Manimal. That thread still gives me the creeps. Good on ya anyway mate.

Sounds like your doing it right. Up your cardio a bit if you have the time and you'll really be burning it off.

Crap, I'm jealous. I'm off too go workout....

I had one last week...I'm a sucker for the white cake ones with the white frosting and pretty colored sprinkles...those are soooo good.

And keep your RRICA to yourself. :eviltongu

Yeah, cake...I guess that'd be what you call em...same kinda donut base as a powdered donut but no powder...white frosting instead and lovely colored sprinkles...not airy like a glazed donut...

Goddamnit, you internet short girl shorts wearing nerd, you know I don't know all your gay little acronyms...wtf is RRICA?

Oh and PS...what is wrong with a 'cake' donut? what kinda donuts do you eat? whole grain with frosting made of fruit juice?

 

[Ciaran]

Nice job Manimal!

My GF works for WW so I am familiar with the program. I have noticed that many people drop pounds really quickly in the first few weeks then seem to go down to a healthier weight loss rate. one of the really good things about WW is that they stress eating healthier, portion control and excercise. And you don't have to buy their food, unlike others such as jenny craig. You learn to work with real food so that once you hit your goal and possibly go off the program you will have the knowledge and tools to keep the weight off for life.

Keep posting your progress.
