Team Skinny - April 2012...No Foolin'

Morning....

Ended March at my race goal weight of 204.6.  Then I ate whatever I wanted for three days, so re setting goals.   April sub 200

4/2/12: 209.6.  Yikes!

Reached my goal for March on March 23, now at 197.

Goal for April 27 is 189 Lbs.

1-1-12:  249.8

1-12-12: 244.2

1-24-12:  239.0

2-11-12:  236.2

2-27-12:  234.0

3-2-12 :228.8

3-14-12: 226.0

3-26-12: 221.8

4-2-12: 219.2

My end of March goal was 223 and I was blowing by that by the 26th.  My total goal starting this thing was 220 and as of this morning I have reached it.

New Target is 210

End of April goal is 215.

Didn't make my Goal again last month, but still lost overall.

4-1  220

End of April goal 215, haven't seen 215 for over 10 years! Got to hit it hard this month.

Good luck everyone!

Hi Claw.

Congratulation on improving your time on the HM, I find it incredible that you can run that long at 258 Lbs. I run 35 minutes and spend another 30 icing my knee while my legs scream bloody murder. You are definitely an example to follow.

Oh hey, thanks - but going slow works wonders. I see people a heck of a lot bigger than me doing the distance and more. But I have to admit, when I was at Disney, in pain from my ill-prepared half, watching the full marathoners the next day, I saw a lot of very heavy folks doing the marathon. Some of them had goofy challenge bibs. That's doing both races in two days. I was impressed that they could do it. But at the same time, I said to myself "maybe you could run a marathon at 280. But why would I want to?" So that's why I'm here.

OK, my April checkin. After two solid months of weekly losses, I posted a slight bounceback. I'm not surprised, considering our weekend. But where a moment like this would have led to an all-or-nothing resignation years ago, I take it for what it is. I weighed every day this week to see the fluctuation. Actually, if I only go by last Wednesday's weigh in, I'm still losing. I was too excited to see a drop below 260 last Thursday, even though I knew it wouldn't hold over the half-mary weekend.

So, actually, after the longest weigh in preamble ever.... (sorry about that)

January 13 - 287.5

Feb 1 -279.3

March 1 -267

April 4 - 259.5

Goal for end of April: 250. I want to be under 245 by TriRock Annapolis on May 12. I can't wait to compare my pictures from last year. That's 3 pounds a week. Not crazy, but steady discipline still needed.

3/28: 195.4

4/4: 196.4

April Goal: 190

I better stop screwing around or I won't get my goal weight for my Half on the 29th.  The good thing is I started at 213 lbs so I have shed enough to make a difference.  I ran my last half at 210 so even if I don't lose any this much I'm enough lighter to make a difference.  Just need to get back to eating clean and getting in all my workouts.

Oh yeah, in my N=1 experience, 29 pounds lost (and proper training) yielded a heck of an improvement. Please post results with your time drop so we can celebrate with you.

I'm back, gotta get the commitment back.  I really want to drop pounds to bring my speed up and make life biking up hills and riding in aero easier.

Goal weight for end of April: 180 or below.

4/4: 187

I was 190.5 on 4/5 and want to be at 185 or less on 4/21. That is when I am running the Tar Heel 10 miler. I was down to 187 earlier in March. So I think I am drinking to much soda and to many sweets.

I am little higher than normal, I had a cook out in small group Tuesday and have been high since. (2 burgers and 1 hot dog later, makes me higher than I have been.) I have to make good choices with food. I start the day strong but usually finish weakly. Eating to many sweets!

So this will hopefully be my first of many posts on this type of thread, because for the most part, I'm embarrased.

April 1 - 297.2

April Goal 285.0

I'm into my 2nd week of the Insanity workout in the evening, and I've been doing run/bike workouts in the morning, so I'm hoping the LBs come off easy.

Cheers.

Welcome aboard, don't look at the distance you have to go, it will discourage you. Just enjoy every small steps you make and how much easier day to day things will become.

4/5/12:  205.4

Not as dramatic as it sounds.  This was my pre-race weight more or less last week that a couple days of ignorance is bliss eating derailed...

Insanity is an awesome workout and will help you shed the lbs.  Good luck!

I was 227 at the start of the year.  I weighed 197 on April 5.  Will be 193 by end of April.  Goal weight was originally 190, but I may have to change that.

Keep losing everybody!

Nice steady progress!

Friday morning is where I finish my week. I could hardly believe the scale this morning.

193 Lbs, another 4 pounds lost this week.

My goal is 189 for April 27, so I should make it. I don't expect as good a result next week, as i will be spending 60 hours at work, so a lot less time to train. Hoping for another pound. Still feeling great.

End of March- 218lbs

April 4- 217.4lbs

End of April Goal- 212lbs
