A weight challenge
« on: April 21, 2016, 12:48:02 PM »
I need to lose some weight, 10 to 20 lbs.  I wondered if anyone in here would want to lose some weight along with me, sort of a challenge.  It helps to have a little moral support and be with others in the same goal. 

So if there is any interest, post, and somehow we can get started.  If no one is in, I will do it myself, just wanted a little help from my friends in here.  And you are all friends :uhoh

Same. I'm 6'1" and I need to drop from 210 to 190lbs. I'm focusing on cardio and abs in my workout, I really need good circulation exercise as I stay cooped up behind a computer most days and am susceptible to vascular ulcers on my ankles. Lack of movement and a love for all things food can quickly spell trouble for me.

Nice.  Just lost 45 over an 8 month span.   If you were/are ex Mil or an athlete, your body WILL remember.  You won't believe it but it does.

Two suggestions.
1.  Run/walk 30 minutes a day.  That got me to 4 mikes a day in 32-35 minutes.

2.  Download MyFitnesspal app and let it set your caloric loads based on your goals.  If you have a smart phone or another step tracker, it will credit caloric burn so the more you walk, the more you can eat, hahaha and it's accurate as hell.

Gotta do #1 so your basil metabolic rate increases.  It's all about the calories.  If you aren't burning them, you're WEARING them.

Good luck gents... :banana:

I sit and stare at a pc all day long for a living (Sales Analyst) but luckily weight has never been an issue.  My issue was/is muscle tone.  What I started doing a couple months back is simply 120 - 150 pushups a day 30 at a time.  What an amazing difference it makes. (62 yrs. old and rolling downhill fast lol)

I'm a fat 65 year old at 312 pounds and am wanting to lose 100 pounds. I have two gorgeous male chocolate labs, and I'll bet I can lose more weight over time than most of you youngsters will with intensive training in the Gyms.

Oh! You Gym guys have such low body fat that this is not really a fair contest, is it? Well, yes it is, and I'll give you guys the head start.

I haven't really thought of a time frame yet.  But a couple place online says 20 lbs is reasonable in 3 months.  Not sure how to go about starting and ending with a group.  But I am going to start tomorrow, April 22, and my goal is 20 lbs in 3 months. 

Don't think I will post starting and ending weight, but maybe a weekly update of how many pounds I may have shed  :)

If you all have any ideas, it would be great to hear them.

Got diagnosed as diabetic - had to change my diet so cut out carbs (no bread, pasta, rice, or potatoes).
Most carbs I eat are sweet potatoes, a bit of breaded fried chicken - lots of green veggies, salads etc.

So far, lost 95 pounds in weight - now weigh just over 180.

For exercise, I walk the dogs, or jump on an exercise bike - so far so good.

Not a great diet, but beats the possible alternatives!!!

I lost a little over 20 lbs in three months with no exercise (170 to 147).  I got cancer and couldn't eat going through treatment.  I generally wouldn't recommend this path but I've been able to keep it off by simply watching my diet.

I'm a bit ahead of some of you, I just lost 35lbs in less than 3 weeks. Another 35 and I will be at my ideal weight.
