Doc's Weight Loss thread

[Doc]

Ok so starting TODAY I am going to lose some weight.

This is the thread to tell me how much of a fat ass I am and/or to give me encouragement. (Yes it is in the VT Bike Night Area so I can moderate it. Keep it on topic about how fat I am and how I need to lose weight and I won't delete posts )

I am currently 213.

Goal weight of 188.

That is a 12% loss or 25 pounds.

1 pound a week sounds doable. Somewhere around 2200 calories a day I am guesstimating.

If anyone else wants to get in on this for a little friendly competition feel free to post up your stats but it has to be a 12% weight loss goal to keep it fair.

Closest one to reaching the goal by July 29 (21 weeks) Wins!

Ready, set, GO!!!!!

Let the fat boy beating commence!

Doc I was 225lbs (6'0) as of january 25... I'm 195 now! I stopped drinking soda, I drink 3-5 green tea's a day, & I bust my ass in the gym. YOU CAN DO IT!!! lol

Let the fat boy beating commence!

OK, I'll start.
This all sounds kind of familiar... Didn't someone do this before?

Why, yes... yes they did.

hey doc
I'm in . Ironically i just started today, waht are you doing for cardio


I'm at 208... I'd like to be at 185.. we can make this friendly wager i think.....
what do they say.. 10lbs lost is equal to 2 hp or so?

[scottieducati]

So you wait till NOW to do this.... after I've gone from 243 to as of this morning... 196.2....

Doc sucks.

Good luck tho, it's all about making healthier choices and getting your tubby ass to the gym.... 3 miles or so a few times / week does wonders.

wow... thats decent scottie... props.


im hoping to shed 15 lbs by 1st race, and 30lbs by classic... im lifting too, so getting back in muscular shape, I'll have a little more water retention in my muscles to contend with.

[BMFR6]

you know, for "an army of one" you sure do need a lot of morale support.

[scottieducati]

Thanks man, been a long time comin.... better get on yer horse. I'm hoping to be another 10 lbs down by the start of the year and that'll likely be it for me... maybe a "dream" goal of 175, but I'll be very happy ~185 or so. Literally... I haven't been <200 lbs since high school. ha.

wow... thats decent scottie... props.

Bragging rights since it is all based on trust. I am doing this at work with a couple people and we can weigh one another etc... Unless you wanna post up a video of you on a scale? :

I have one bet for a race entry fee.

[markbvt]

I'm fatter than you are, Doc, and I could definitely use a little motivation to lose some weight.

Trouble is, I like good food and good wine, and I have neither the time nor the desire to go to the gym. Losing weight was a lot easier before I quit smoking.

You see how well that worked out... I don't even know who won.

Mostly elliptical and a Rowing Machine. I will start running more soon.

I know who didn't

It is "Army Strong" now.

[Doc]

I know who didn't

Yeah umm... Hence this thread. Although I was down to 193 at one point.

[obsolete]

Watch Mondo eat, you'll be in the gym for the next 2 weeks non-stop.

[BMFR6]

It is "Army Strong" now.

apparently it should be "Army Fat"

["Dangerous" Dan K]

I'm a fat bastid too. I'd join ya in your challenge, but the deadline is too far out for me. Now if you wanted to go for % by first race weekend I'd throw in a friendly wager with ya

Good luck, anyway. Being a fat bastid sucks. With any luck we can both knock that shit off.

Same here, 240 to ~180, though I could stand to lose 10-15 more (I was low 170's earlier this winter...not sure what happened haha). Do you still need those P90X DVDs Doc? 3 weeks until I start the P90X routine myself, can't wait!

I keed, I keed... Good luck!

1 pound a week is safe and more importantly ATTAINABLE.

Goal for the 1st weekend is 7 pounds. Which is not alot...

I am going to try and do more but I need a realistic goal.
