I am 313.3 this am....Only started training 1 month ago.  I started at about 335.  I am 6'8" tall exsmoker (its been 5 weeks).  I turn 40 also at the end of this month.  Never been athletic.  But i am really liking this. 

My goals are  under 300 by May 1st

Sept 11..my first tri I want to be under 270 and prefer closer to 250

Welcome Back, no need to be sheepish... Jump in both feet and lets help each other...

Welcome to Team Skinny... It's a good place to be, check in, get tips stay motivated.  Congrats on the smoking That is amazing on its own. Keep up the hard work. Exercise and weight lose will help you keep pushing past that.

I think you can loose that. I joined BT in April 2010 I was 279 at 5'6" TALL....ok ok Short. Now 215 lbs and still 5'6" Weight drop didn't help my height at all...DAMN IT.

I did my first try a tri last year and loved it.. WARNING it can be addictive... PM me if you want any info or tips.. or throw questions up here..

Personally I have been stuck at 213-215 But I am much more happy then I Was at 279.... Welcome enjoy the journey.

Ok onto my weigh in..

March 30 215 lbs

April 6th 215 lbs... Well I guess not going up is a good thing.

Goal 210 lbs... Going to add some more P90X and cross training to see what I can do. Spring weather is starting to come SLOWLY. I did get out for 43 km bike ride on Sunday and it helped. Sluggish but it was nice to ride for 1hr 43 mins.

You have done amazing... Keep up the good work man...

3/2 - 204.5

3/9 - 200

3/16 - 198.5

Goal of 205. I wanted to aim lower, but I am trying to be realistic. I forgot how boring realism is

Thanks! Here's hoping for a great month for all of us!!

edited to change my bizarrely awful sentence structure . . .

Have no fear I am an Engineer. If you are looking for sentence structure, grammer or spelling from me... well your out of luck.. Calculus, problem solving... and just plain looking cute... then I am your man... LOL

Its all good.. Way to check in and be honest. Great place to start.

Welcome... Always glad to have new and old team memebers back..

I'm in again, of course. I think  I am headed in the right direction. Aside from a few hiccups this week, I have done pretty well. I plan on following the same plan again next week in hopes of seeing real loss.

Makukula - Congratulations on the 20lbs! How did you do it, anything in particular that helped you?

Got a surprise on the scale this morning. Down almost 3 pounds to 205.2. Part of the difference is that my last weigh in wasn't on my normal scale but still it's a step in the right direction.

Start 208

4/7 - 205.2 (-2.8)

I'd like to jump in here if I can - new to BT and this year is my first tri (July 10th) I've never really broken down my weight loss goals by month before, so trying to follow suit of what other's are looking at for a 1 month drop.

Current Weight (as of Monday at least): 160

April Goal: 153

Final Goal: 125 or 130

Doing 2x running focused Oly training and P90X Phase 1 Level 1 eating plan.

I had to wait 24 hrs to respond to this in order to resist my natural inclinations... but I'll keep you in mind should I stumble into a calculus problem during the course of my day!! My first calculus class left me sitting at my desk saying "You want me to find the area under a what-now?"

Off to my first swim since December after work today... wish me luck!

Awesome. That's my kind of surprise!

Over halfway to your goal (assuming my math is right...:P ). Nice job!!

Hey all,

I want (need) to Play too!

April 1 - 343 (ouch)

April 7 - 339

April Goal - 320

End Game - April 2012 - 230 (~10% body fat)

Game on!

HAHA.. how did the swim go... Look I purposely caculated the area under a cone once since I got out of school. Only so I could say I did use Calculus after finishing school.. You know.. I have never used it again.. Makes me wonder why I HAD to take it.

Have it it you are welcome to comment freely. I better be able to take it if I can dish it out.

Welcome to the Team.. Glad to have you...  head down.. Game on... Focus on goals and you can do it...
