I've been meaning to start getting some exercise for ages now so I figured if I made it some kind of project then I might be a little more motivated (as if not fitting into my trousers was motivation enough) so I've decided to blog about it and will be noting my progress all the way up to Christmas. I'm posting this just in case any one wants to join me in a weight loss marathon. We could make it even more interesting by putting some prizes up for grabs. Lets not make it turn into another YART thread though. What we could do is post your current weight on the blog and the person who loses the biggest percentage body weight between now and Christmas wins the prize. I will donate a PR4 link for 3 months to the winner. I'll be starting on Monday as I need to buy some scales lol.
I lost 51 lbs From Jan of this year to Mar 15'th - Don't think I can loose anymore Eat... More... Chicken
6 foot 2 and 190 pounds. If I cut my beer consumption by half I could lose some weight but that isnt going to happen. I need to start excorcising as well.
For some reason my metabolism hasn't slowed down yet. I'm not overweight by any means but I'm definitely in the worst shape of my life. I still look like Drago from Rocky IV, but I feel more like Butterbean. I have a membership at a gym that I pay for each month but I think I've been there twice since December '04! Weir, most guys gain about 15lbs. the first year they're married. And most women gain like 25lbs. (or maybe it's the other way around- not sure)
You gonna join the contest then? Just sign the comments of the blog with your name and weight. Anyone joining up feel free to donate prizes, but dont make it too great because then it will be too serious lol. I've gained just over 2 stone since meeting Grace Haven't weighed myself in a long time but I could certainly do with losing weight so I can sleep better at nights and concentrate better during the day.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I'm in shape. Round is a shape I'll donate a $100 GC to my nutrition site for the contest.
Ditto that... One of the reasons a 750 sq. ft gym (with sauna) is going in the new house. Although I've been good the last couple months (running or weights 4 or 5 times week).
Whats 275lbs in stone? Do you divide it by 14 to get the stones? Very fitting Lorien lol Thanks for that. Prize List PR4 link for 3 months (Weirfire) $100 GC to a nutrition site (Lorien)
http://www.metric-conversions.org/weight/stones-to-pounds.htm I'm 5'11' and 12 stone so I don't think I'll be participating. PS: Rapidly moving your mid section up and down for a couple of minutes several times a day does wonders for the waist line.
I'm 5'10 and just over 12 stone so we're not that different. (it could have gone up since my wedding though lol) Remember it's a percentage body weight lost so if a 10stone guy loses 1 stone and a 20 stone guy loses 1.9 stone then the 10 stone guy wins.
The difference between fit and fat: a chunkier middle. For those that didn't get it the middle letter a is chunkier than the middle letter I.
I used to get a 6 pack every summer by just playing football/tennis etc Now im into pool which means drinking beer and sitting around with a stick... I guess il have to join the gym in order to stay fit now...
Thanks Jason. Thats a good idea. I'll throw in an hour of PHP work or debugging as well. Having had palespyder do work for me in past I can say his work really is of a high quality.
