    @vgc Welcome to the accountability club! :)

    Biggest trick for you will be keeping focus over that long period of time (as for all of us, really!) .. hopefully you stay on your feet and get to that goal!

    My sleep schedule is so F'ed in the B.

    Scariest day of the week is upon me! Do I gain yet again or are things going to turn around?

    Another week, another pound. I won't complain, but I know I can do more.
    Goal: 210 lbs by PAX - Run @ 6.5 MPH for 30 minutes straight

    How do you plan on achieving this goal: Tracking food, running on the treadmill in the morning. Will work in light weight training once I get my weight back under control (likely around 215-220).

    Week 1 - 1/10: 227 - 10-15 minutes start/stop (no more than 10 minutes straight so far)
    Week 2 - 1/17: 226 - Fell back to 5-10 minutes running - very sporadic gym visits this week - weight loss likely due to more attention on what I eat, though I blew out calories on a few days still.
    Week 3 - 1/24: 224 - Got in two 12 minute 5.8 MPH runs broken up with a 4.3 MPH walk today! Time to work on ditching the walk.
    Week 4 - 1/31: 223 - More walking than running this week, but I did get 2 hours of full-court basketball in
    Week 5 - 2/ 7: 222 - Some basketball this week, mostly walking - I need to refocus on running more. No energy, though.
    Week 6 - 2/14:
    Week 7 - 2/21:
    Week 8 - 2/28:
    Week 9 - 3/7:
    Week 10 - 3/14:
    Week 11 - 3/21 (Final Weigh-In/Progress Indicator):

    Congrats! It's amazing how much your weight fluctuates throughout the day. Last week, I weighed in at 104.8 before my workout and immediately after, I weighed 105.4.

    Well, I had another gain week for some reason that I can't identify. I tried to cut down on fruit a bit this past week (I was eating a LOT of fruit as fillers), but I'm obviously doing something wrong. Drinking lots of fluids, adhering to my points, and nothing good is happening. I'm going to keep at it though, maybe it's a bizarre plateau that I can get past.
    Goal: 130

    How do you plan on achieving this goal: Weight Watchers and going from zero exercise to moderate exercise 3 times a week

    Week 1 - 1/10 (Initial Weigh-In/Progress Indicator): 155.6
    Week 2 - 1/17: 147.8 (-7.8)
    Week 3 - 1/24: 146.2 (-9.4)

    Well, you're down 5 lbs from where you started, over 4 weeks, so I wouldn't say *nothing* good is happening. How is the exercise coming along?

    Your body is probably messing with you because it wants to eat crap. It will succumb to your new attitude eventually :) Keep at it!

    Exercise is key (as well as staying on track with eating).

    I'm feeling pretty confident this week. Jumped on the scale late last night and I was around the same weight as my last weigh in, which is good since I still had all my days food in me. TMI? Ha.

    Two ice hockey games and a floor hockey game tonight and I think I will be down 1.5lbs if I had to guess. We will see.

    did P90X yoga today - feeling like I'm getting more of it ... though this is a bizarre week with today's work cancelled due to the street being made of snow. Hoping to get out Sometime tomorrow... but the mall collapsed so I can't even do my usual errands >.<

    Didn't get to check in yesterday since I was in Jury Duty (but still got over 10k steps in by the end of the day BOOM) but on Sunday I officially dropped below 200 pounds for the first time in my adult life and lost 2.4 for the week.

    I'm hoping the pizza and a cookie from yesetrday won't set me back much this week, I really only went over my WW Points by about 8 so it shouldn't cause me to gain.

    I did this back in December I think (was only for a week) and it felt amazing. I was at like 199lbs or so. By January 1st this year I was back up to 205lbs. I've fluctuated and am at about 204.6lbs or whatever my last check-in was.

    I have faith that I will continue to lose. I am apparently just taking my sweet ol' time getting to where I want to be.

    Once I get to my desired weight, how much fluctuating typically happens? Like, if I want to be 175lbs, would I expect to just hover between 175lbs-180lbs?

    I think a 5 pound hover is a realistic view, at any given day you'll be somewhere between 170-180 depending on water retension, what you ate, BM's, so on and so forth.

    I think expecting to hover between 175-180 is reasonable. My experience of having a relatively stable weight is typically to be +4/- 2 pounds across different times of day and different days, due to recent activity level, consumption, slightly different clothes or not, etc. Usually +/-2 with the +4 reserved for very heavy eating/drinking days.

    So if you want to remain below 180 I'd advise going 2-3 pounds below that, knowing that an outlier of a day could send you a little bit over for a day or so.

    Weighed myself yesterday and I lost a whole pound since last week! I didn't think it was possible since I don't have that many pounds to spare. I did kinda eat like crap over the weekend, but I've been more or less following my meal plan during the work week. That and lots and lots of high quality H2O.
    Goal: 100lbs by PAX Prime as well as significant muscle tone

    How do you plan on achieving this goal: Exercising at least 5 times a week. Protein shakes twice a day on the days I work out as well as dietary supplements. Lots of water. I'm going to try to lay off the junk food.

    Week 1 - 2/5 : 105.0 - A bit surprised because I didn't eat so well this past weekend and it's the first week I've been feeling 100% since the surgery.
    Week 2 - 2/12: 104.0 - Woot!

    I always wondered if self-imposed resistance would work - I mean, that's all lifting is, right? If you apply the negative and positive, couldn't you theoretically lift weights by doing nothing more than applying your own resistance?

    Hey all! I'm new (first post) and was drawn to this thread cause the rest were about meetups which didn't apply to me. I know I'm super late since PAX is nearly a month away.. but I'd love to be in it together w/you guys!

    goal: rehab my knee and get back to squatting my most recent weight.

    welcome :)

    Trying P90X Stretch for the first time ... intrigued by an hour of stretching. Edit: seemed pretty good, though part of me cried at not feeling like I actually worked out. Bring it on Thursday

    In other news looking at a new position, so hoping I won't be worked to the bone and lose out on exercise time.

    That's the idea @vttym and the book is really awesome so far. It's well written and really feels like he's talking to you as a friend and not a trainer. The exercises look awesome, they'll be tough but not difficult to do and get better at. The book is only $11 on Amazon, and I also downloaded the iOS app that has videos of the workouts and a timer for the programs for only $3.

    Gonna start on Sunday!

    Wooo, my copy of You Are Your Own Gym should be waiting for me when I get home! I'm pretty excited to read it and start the beginning program. I really am fascinated by bodyweight fitness!

    I always wondered if self-imposed resistance would work - I mean, that's all lifting is, right? If you apply the negative and positive, couldn't you theoretically lift weights by doing nothing more than applying your own resistance?

    that sounds awesome! would love to hear how it is.

    That's the idea @vttym and the book is really awesome so far. It's well written and really feels like he's talking to you as a friend and not a trainer. The exercises look awesome, they'll be tough but not difficult to do and get better at. The book is only $11 on Amazon, and I also downloaded the iOS app that has videos of the workouts and a timer for the programs for only $3.

    Gonna start on Sunday!

    I'll look forward to your progress reports.. might check it out if you find success.

    Hey all! I'm new (first post) and was drawn to this thread cause the rest were about meetups which didn't apply to me. I know I'm super late since PAX is nearly a month away.. but I'd love to be in it together w/you guys!

    goal: rehab my knee and get back to squatting my most recent weight.

    Welcome to the family. @BaconSandwich is the resident squat expert around these parts. Good luck with the rehab!

    Just rejoined a gym after moving across the country, I suppose I have 5 weeks of fitness I can cram in before PAX East. I'm more of a yoga\cardio man than weight training, but I've been lax in any type of fitness the past four months due to moving and whatnot. Excited to get back into it.

    Not bad. I need to lose 2.5lbs each week for the next five weeks to hit my 190lbs goal. I really don't see that happening. I am going to alter my goal to 195lbs instead. That makes it 1.5lbs per week, which is a little more attainable. Plus, I thought I had it at 195lbs to begin with. That is what I have on my dry erase board anyway.
    Goal: Down to 190lbs 195lbs by PAX East.

    How do you plan on achieving this goal: Sticking to my decent eating habits and playing hockey multiple times a week.

    Week 1 - 1/10: 202.3lbs
    Week 2 - 1/17: 203.8lbs
    Week 3 - 1/24: 205.4lbs
    Week 4 - 1/31: 206.2lbs
    Week 5 - 2/ 7: 204.6lbs
    Week 6 - 2/14: 202.4lbs
    Week 7 - 2/21:
    Week 8 - 2/28:
    Week 9 - 3/7:
    Week 10 - 3/14:
    Week 11 - 3/21:

    edit: Ok. What the fuck is the proper html on the forums to strike a line through something? I really miss the old forum where they used to have buttons for a ton of this stuff (maybe not striking though).

    edit: Really?! [*s] and [*/s][/s] (minus the *). Wow. I might need to throw a suggestion to add a button for this.

    Weight and body fat

    Week 1 - 1/31: ~185 21%
    Week 2 - 2/ 7: 182.8 20.6%
    Week 3 - 2/14: 179.6 19.6%
    Week 4 - 2/21:
    Week 5 - 2/28:
    Week 6 - 3/7:
    Week 7 - 3/14:
    Week 8 - 3/21:

    Good progress on cutting my weight but I am somewhat disappointed because I'm doing a weight loss challenge at work and falling behind a little since starting on the 1/21.

    I blame the delicious food that I can't say no to.

    It was bound to happen - bubbled up a few pounds. I won't blame the BBQ place I took my wife to last night (which, for the record, had Bacon Jam that you spread on texas toast. Yes, I said bacon jam). Still, I could have shown some restraint.
    Goal: 210 lbs by PAX - Run @ 6.5 MPH for 30 minutes straight

    How do you plan on achieving this goal: Tracking food, running on the treadmill in the morning. Will work in light weight training once I get my weight back under control (likely around 215-220).

    Week 1 - 1/10: 227 - 10-15 minutes start/stop (no more than 10 minutes straight so far)
    Week 2 - 1/17: 226 - Fell back to 5-10 minutes running - very sporadic gym visits this week - weight loss likely due to more attention on what I eat, though I blew out calories on a few days still.
    Week 3 - 1/24: 224 - Got in two 12 minute 5.8 MPH runs broken up with a 4.3 MPH walk today! Time to work on ditching the walk.
    Week 4 - 1/31: 223 - More walking than running this week, but I did get 2 hours of full-court basketball in
    Week 5 - 2/ 7: 222 - Some basketball this week, mostly walking - I need to refocus on running more. No energy, though.
    Week 6 - 2/14: 224 - Missed gym days and terrible eating on Valentine's day = a step back. Walking when I did get on the treadmill.
    Week 7 - 2/21:
    Week 8 - 2/28:
    Week 9 - 3/7:
    Week 10 - 3/14:
    Week 11 - 3/21 (Final Weigh-In/Progress Indicator):

    Back to work. I think 14 lbs in 5 weeks is probably ambitious at this point, but I'm leaving it there.

    I needed to go out to lunch today, but I also wanted to walk during lunch, so I just walked to the grocery store, got an awesome salad w/ some fruit for dessert, a cup of excellent vegatarian soup (which usually isn't my thing) and a nice size hunk of bread! Mmmmm eating healthy rocks!

    I repeat this mantra in my head when I'm at a party and there is a table full of delicious, unhealthy food.

    Is anyone else in the group sick? Seems like everyone I know is getting sick and I have finally succumbed to the sickness. I ate nothing but grapefruit and leftover Korean BBQ today and I actually feel a little better. I'll probably skip today's workout though.

    Sticks and pucks was crowded as hell today since it is a holiday weekend and kids are off from school. We shot around for a little, but left after about an hour or so. I made sure that I did some form of suicides throughout the hour to work off the wings and pizza from yesterday. You know, because I was celebrating my weight loss. Haha.

    I'm just getting over being sick. Had to skip my 3rd weekly workout, plus ate a bunch of "unhealthy" stuff - and I'm still down a pound or 2 from a few days ago
