Team Skinny: Jan 2012- Happy New You! (Page 5)

No workout Saturday in preperation for a race Sunday but I also drank way too much pop Saturday, food wise wasn't bad.  I did a race Sunday which was only 45 minutes.  I then went to Granite City's Sunday Brunch and probably rewarded myself a little too much.  Guess we will find out tomorrow!

Not Good on the workouts, did an hour of shoveling snow, but that was it. Lots to do around the house and then enjoyed watching My 49ers finally back in the playoffs and enjoyed several beers! got back to it Monday with a 4 mile run and then weights!

I seem to keep it in the gut more than other places! Even last year when I was training for my HIM. I probably need to cut back on the carbs, I have cut my calorie intake back and that is helping me lose weight, I just need to keep at it, I am making progress!

I am focusing on running and weight training, nothing heavy just high rep circuits. will start ot mix in some trainer rides soon.

I understand. My wife will only weigh weekly. But, I guess it depends on the kind of person you area. At work, I deal with a lot of data on a daily basis. And I understand that variation in my weight will occur because of water gain/loss and several other factors. So I don't mind weighing daily, and am not thrown by the wide swings in my weight on a daily basis. To recognize weight loss (or gain ), I calculate a weekly average and check that with prior weeks. To me, it seems like an average over a week is probably a better indicator of true weight change than taking weekly measurements.

Also, just my 2/100ths.

Sometimes I think that I only exercise to generate data -- I'm a true nerd.

enders_shadow - 2012-01-11 6:17 AM Starting weight (Jan 2) - 198.2 1/9/2012 - 195.6 (return to Team Skinny) 1/11/2012 - 194.0 (getting with the Wednesday weigh-ins) January goal - 189.8

1/18/2012 - 190.6 Yeah me! This careful eating thing is starting to come back to me.

Awesome job!!!

Start Weight    236

Goal For January  228

Overall Goal   205

1-11   230.5 Good week, back on track to hit my overall goal!

1-18   229.5 A pound a week, I can live with that. Slow and steady, that's how I got fat, that's                           how I will get lean! I am learning to embrace the hunger.

I am sooo happy to see there are more nerds out there!

1/18: 208.4  Barely off of my 1 lb per week which is close enough for me!  Any weight loss is good weight loss.  I did have a great swim workout this morning so I am pumped about that.  I am also one of those that weighs daily because it keeps me motivated.  I have noticed a trend that my "lightest day" is Thursday.  My heaviest is Tuesday.  I attribute Tuesday to having Monday off from workouts and your body tends to load up and then adjusts itself when you get back to your normal schedule!

Everyone keep it up!

Weigh in Day!

1/4- 231 lbs

1/10- 229.4 lbs

Move along folks. Nothing to see here. <heavy sigh>

I'm not sure what's wrong. I'm working out now, and granted my eating hasn't been great, but it's betther than last year. I'd just hoped for a little more. Down, but not out.

Jan 1st     152.8

Jan 4th     150   BF%  17.00   

Jan 11th   149.6 BF%: 16.5

Jan 18th   150.6 BF %:16.8

Goal 148.   

1/8 - 168

1/12 - 166

1/18 - 165.5

Also down are my triglycerides by over 50 points and my blood sugar has leveled out at NORMAL

Hey that is awesome news.

Well you have probably already answerd what is wrong.. your eating is better but hasn't been great. Make sure you are protein based diet for weight loss and you eat every 3 hours never go longer then 4.. With out seeing your intake daily and the times and what you eat it would be hard to tell.

I try to make sure my diet is 40-50% protein based for weight loss and carbs are only 25-35% of my diet. That helped me pull off all my weight.

Great job, keep on pushing!

Some awesome weigh ins so far this month, keep it going gang. The steam starts to where off a little as the New Years Resolutions get a little older and older. Remember THIS is the year we ALL hit our goals!!!

And yes, the race to the sub 200 club is on in force amongst many of us

19/1 92.9kg - 204.8lbs

good week for me 

1-2 = 232

1-5 = 229.5

1-11 = 226

1-19 = 226

No change but was sick the last week and spent a couple of days in bed. Pretty happy with the maintaining actually. Expect there is some fat loss/muscle gain in there as well as I am running far better. 1 more pound in the next 11 days seems doable for the month goal.

1/1/12 - 214.8

1/5/12 - 212

1/12/12 - 210.8

1/19/12 - 209.8

Good job, closing in on 200 fast
