Biggest Loser - 2023 ----280 POUNDS LOST----

I fucked up big time this weekend. Kids had Pre-K graduation (yeah it's dumb) and birthday this weekend so lots of cake and ice cream and carbs consumed.

Doubt I'm going to hit <200 before next Friday, but my plan is try to run 5k every day until then so we'll see where that gets me.

I'm going on beach vacation 2nd week of June so my new goal is sub 200 for that and come back with minimal weight gain.

 

New caller, long time listener.

We had a photographer come shoot my son's little league game and I coach first base. I saw a picture of myself and knew i had to do something. Just started at the gym 3 weeks ago. I've done this a few times and always let a life event derail me and I fall off the wagon. That event is in 3 weeks - work conference. Been working out and trying to make better food decisions. Down 6 pounds from 219 to 213. First 5 are the easiest 5.

 

So this happened today….

 

It’s not what you eat from Christmas to New Years. It’s what you eat New Years to Christmas.

I've always gotten out of shape and had goals based on a certain weight or a certain date. I seem to be happier not looking at that or being in shape by a certain time. Fuck that I'm just trying to be healthy for myself and not worry about weight/time based anything or what people think. I understand this isn't the way to go for everyone.

I've just lifted weights 2x week & cardio 1x and haven't lost any weight in the last 6 months, but feel way better. I used to eat super healthy and do crazy cardio to "get healthy" asap but it's not sustainable. My body fat is down 5% and i am walking around @ 6'0 180 lbs now.

I naturally have a skinny/lanky frame and before just had a surprisingly big gut. Its the only place the fat goes.

My family has a significant history of being diabetic and having high blood pressure so this is necessary long term. Also better mentally to focus on being healthy vs what's wrong with me. It's been a long road to get to this point. I'm hoping this change sticks. I've always had low self esteem so this is progress.

 

I think I busted out
What a loser

 

6’0” 180? You sound like a tall drink of water.

but you’re right. Shooting for goals like that typically isn’t good. But I know how much I burn and what I take in, so I can kinda base it off that just a little bit. You got this

 

The before and after pics are going to be so lush.

400.2 this week for me

 

Hit 199.6 this morning. This was after a run and a big shit (luckily not at the same time). Very surprised I hit this after not eating great the last 2 weeks but did a lot of cardio and IF to compensate.

Congrats to everyone who lost weight and is feeling better. Keep it up. I'll provide pics of my hot bod if needed.

 

Final weighins due by Sunday right?

 

Took this Monday morning as I had business trip this week. A little disappointed in my finish over the last month. Definitely coasted more than I intended, but still overall pleased with the results and the new habits I've created

 

I’ll do some before and after photos with the same clothes I wore back in Nov/Dec this week maybe. It’s a great visual I’m sure.

 

Great job guys! I think I ended up losing 55lbs for this edition. Can’t wait for the next one to start!

 

Super happy I was able to maintain near the end when I stopped counting calories. Been getting compliments at the pool!

Where Eagles Dare just go ahead and donate my winning to the TMB Operating Costs in my name.

 

Don't we get to see some before and after pics? Some tasteful nudes perhaps?

Spoiler

 

Anyone want to run one of those? I'll donate my money to the winner and try to lose 10 lbs in the process.

 

I'm down

 

I'd be up for it

 

my fatass is in

 

How did I miss this?

HOTTIE ALERT!


also, I’m game for a football season one.

 

I could probably use some motivation in the form of money or public shaming. I’ve been a mess the past year and need to figure something out.

 

I feel like doing this for football and holiday season would be a who gains the least competition.

 

I fully plan to lose at least 10 lbs, so I'll win that!

 

I’m in. Need to refocus.

 

Ive still kept my weight off from the last one. I would gladly join this one just to keep it off during the holidays.

 

I'd make Vice and American Hustle Christian Bale jealous with the amount of weight I've gained over the last few months. Need some extra motivation for the new year.

 

I'm all the way back to where I was last year. Ready for my annual YoYo

 

In

 

I'm in for this year again. Work stress in the back half of the year was NOT handled well

 

Im in too.

 

Still in if someone runs one.

 

Depending on the dates I’d be in. Need to do something, switched jobs towards end of 2022 and now goto the office consistently where there’s always food up for grabs. Overall life/stress has just had me eating terribly most of the year, basically it’s been my excuse to get out of the house/entertain myself but it’s beyond bad now.

In the process of getting my house up for sale and moving so my peloton isn’t available. Might have to just walk around in the 20 degree weather and go old fashioned CICO diet.
