jasejase Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 or the treadmill. 400X's, 800X's, and 1600's were part of my training once a week. Interval day sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Users seabass07 Posted October 12, 2015 Mega Users Share Posted October 12, 2015 Kinda fell off of the wagon. I've only been able to run once a week over the last month. Still doing 6 miles of trails in about 50 minutes, but it was a lot easier a few months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasejase Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I got into the Marine Corp Marathon. Nice. that was our first marathon... One of my favorites. It was also the first time I saw dc. Great experience. We ended up doing it again a few years later. You'll love it. Very humbling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't finish it but it was still a Soda. :/ Good for you. Just passed my one year anniversary. It gets a lot easier a month or two in. Now if I have a sip I think it tastes awful.

famaya26 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I've started feeling refreshed actually. I am loosing weight. Been eating steamed veggies for Lunch daily. Usually with grilled chicken. It's hard but it's gotten a little easier. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnmid Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I lost 5 pounds by cutting out bread, beef, chicken, pork and eating more fruits and veggies after I read "Eat to live" by Dr. Joel Fuhrman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I lost a ton of weight (230 down to 155) using the Fit for Life" plan. Continued it while also training for a triathlon. Book is by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond. There's a FfL2, but the original FfL is really good enough IMO. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el5y Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 WOW SBT That is a ton of weight indeed! How tall are you? The highest I've been is 245, the lowest since high school was 205. At 205 I felt pretty lean and didn't want to lose any more. at 245 I feel bloated and way too jiggly to be comfortable. I can't even imagine getting below 180.

rebourne Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Started Hammer and Chisel last night. Goal? Maintain weight but get more definition, muscle-y looking. And to get to eat more. Without reducing my alcohol consumption. Funny thing is I usually workout in the mornings, but ended up starting at 10pm after the kids went to sleep and 3 drinks in. Enjoyed it! And suprisingly, this mornings workout was pretty good, too. pic thread build thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this weight loss was over a year period. Diet coupled with exercise. Upper M-W-F, Lower T-TH-S and a mile swim everyday. Sundays off from any workout. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonnyJagaru Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I thought I was doing good being down 37 lbs since beginning of year. Only another 30 lbs to go! The secret to my success is the Health Canada Food Guide and an hour of cardio a day for five days a week. If the weather would just warm up I'd get out on my bike and burn some more fat.

SBT Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 nice, I'm 6' as well I guess just a different build than you. I guess you are pretty cut now. I was 46" chest, 30" waist and everything ripped. I've had a year of relocation, limited exercise, coupled with less than healthy "southern" foods. But I'm getting the pool out of hibernation and should be swimming again by the end of the month. Between that and working around the homestead, I expect to get back into shape pretty quickly. *fingers crossed* - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stm25rs Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I'm working on cutting some fat. I'm 5' 9"....bulked up from 145 to a peak of 177, which I hit ~2 weeks ago. I was probably ~15% body fat to start, and ~20% at 177. I figure I've gained around 20 lbs of muscle plus 10 lbs of fat. Have already dropped down to low 170s, and can see the difference in my stomach. Want to get down to 155-160, which should put me around 10% body fat. Bought a smart scale on Amazon to help out with this. Thought about dropping the $$$ for a fitbit wifi scale, but couldn't justify it. Bought this one instead: [ame=http://www.amazon.com/GoWISE-USA-approved-Measures-Capacity/dp/B00CZPF5L2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00]Amazon.com: GoWISE USA Body Fat Scale with FDA approved- Measures Weight, Body Fat, Water, & Bone Mass 400 Lbs Capacity Tempered Glass (Black): Home & Kitchen[/ame] Figured I can just manually log the stuff to my fitbit account.

I'm using a similar scale: http://amzn.com/B004L6NTHU I figure it's only measuring fat in the legs, since that's the path the electrical signal takes. I went from 19% down to a low of 9.8% in February. At that 10% number I am guessing I'm really 12-15%, since my legs run lean, and I can't see my abs . I think it really helps to have the body fat percentage number, even if it's inaccurate. I can swing 3-4 lbs based on food and hydration, even when measuring same time every morning. Combining the weight, body fat %, tape measure and the mirror, helps track progress and stay sane. Started Hammer and Chisel last night. Goal? Maintain weight but get more definition, muscle-y looking. And to get to eat more. Without reducing my alcohol consumption. Middle of week three of the Hammer and Chisel. Scale is holding steady, while eating more. I'm eating a bit cleaner, choosing extra veggies instead of a little bit of processed carbs at dinner. I can see a little bit more definition in my abs, chest and arms. Some of the workouts feel too short, some too brutal. Still many workouts haven't come up yet, so I can't really review. Maybe they are just getting warmed up. The whole time I keep wondering if I should have tried Body Beast instead. pic thread build thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJBerk Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 For the first time in a long time, I'm making a change. Baby steps, but I'm down 8.8 lbs in 2 weeks. (and back up .5 this AM) I have a long, long, long way to go, but I've doubled my steps and my stairs in the last 2 weeks, and cut back on calories and wine.

wrxwhit Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Haven't been under 12% body fat for probably a good 15 years now as I have always focused on strength and size so decided in two months before vacationing to the outer banks to drop from 14.85% to 10.82%. Only change made to diet was lowering calories and not killing ice cream before bed every night, well cheated a few times. Haven't been this vascular in a while!! I feel great too with a ton of energy. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160507/8919ad8b3451d8c900889bf5621a1edf.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
