@vgc@baconsandwich I've been practically bedridden since Wednesday. I think it had something to do with walking 8 miles in that blizzard. I figure the weight drop I've had is just dehydration.
Goal: 290 lbs by PAXEast
How do you plan on achieving this goal: Counting calories (really need to start doing this again). Gym 3-4 days a week. Kris Gethin weight routine with 20-30 minutes of dedicated cardio.
Well, even after a truly horrible eating and drinking weekend, I still managed to drop 2 pounds. At least I'm heading back in the right direction!
Honestly though, if I end up getting stuck around this weight for a few more weeks, I may drop the effort all together. If my choices are eating whatever I want or being 7 pounds lighter, I think I'd rather give up all the counting and dieting and juts be 7 pounds fluffier.
Goal: 130
How do you plan on achieving this goal: Weight Watchers and going from zero exercise to moderate exercise 3 times a week

It's a marathon, not a sprint (I know it's cliche, but it's the best way I've been able to keep my gains and losses in perspective). If this crap was easy, we wouldn't need a support thread to keep each other motivated!
Even if you stay 7 pounds lighter, you're still making better health choices, and that's just as important.. Not to mention 7 pounds is no small feat - that's STILL better than a pound a week, which is what most people strive for in a long term weight loss plan.
Keep at it, see where you end up by PAX, and we'll keep you going after if you still want to!

Yea, it is DEFINITELY not a sprint. A year on Weight Watchers and I have gone through some dry spells where I stay in the same weight range for a month. That happened in January for me. It is depressing as shit, but just keep with it. I lost last week and weighed myself this morning after getting rid of all the Fogo De Chao I had this weekend and I was the same weight as my weigh-in last Thursday. Just stick with it. It takes time.
And yea, I am excited for my weigh-in on Thursday. I jumped on the scale today with my big hoodie on and clothes and weighed the same as my last weigh-in. This should spell weight loss come Thursday after I play hockey two more times, eat right, and strip down. I might be down below 200lbs again. Hopefully this time I can stay below and keep going.
Down 1.1 pounds this week, I'll definitely take that!
I finished reading You Are Your Own Gym, and unfortunately you'll all have to wait for my impressions on doing his program, because Im going to wait until the summer when I'm a lot closer to my goal to start. He makes it pretty clear in the book and gaining muscle and losing fat can be mutually exclusive for most people, and since walking + WW is working so well for me, I don't want to rock the boat too much.

FWIW, when I was lifting (light lifting, just to tone up) and running, I was still losing weight overall.. but yeah, stick with what's working
I ended up skipping Thursday, Friday, and Saturday's workout due to my sickness, and I probably didn't eat as well as I could have. I'm still having a little trouble breathing, but I think I'm gonna drag my ass to work out today. I shudder to think what the scale will say, but as long as I didn't gain any more than a pound since last week, I think I'll be okay.
Alrighty, I'm going to join in on this weekly goal-progress thing. Unlike (most?) folks here, I'm looking to gain weight. I've put on about 20 lbs in the past year and a half, and if I can get another 5-10 by Pax Prime, that would be fantastic. I would really like to cosplay Skarlet and do Dhalsim a bit more justice than I did last year, which means I need some more muscle. I'd also like to continue getting stronger - I took up powerlifting last March, so I'll be tracking bench press, squat, and deadlift to measure strength gains.
Goal: Get stronger (bench press, squat, deadlift going up), build muscle (bodyweight going up) with minimal fat gain (maintain my waistline).
How do you plan on achieving this goal: Lifting heavy 3x/week, sprints/intervals 1x/week, yoga 3x (at least)/week. Strict Paleo, eat lots (4000 calories +) on lifting days (2000-2500 on non-lifting days).

Awesome - welcome aboard, and good luck on your goals. I'm sure we can offer plenty of suggestions on how to get to 4000 calories.. it's probably why most of us are in the "lose weight" side of the boat

It can be surprisingly difficult to get 4000 clean calories (it was so much easier before I cut out dairy). Luckily, I love to eat.

Those are some stout-ass numbers, especially at 175. Hopefully I'll have something approaching that comparable to my bodyweight (about 260 atm) in time. Mind you strength ≠ size, but they can be related. If you've been powerlifting for a year you probably already know that (proof: youtu.be/bWujcWDrlGA)
So! What I thought was just a small bit of flu ended up being... Mono! I'm still not going to try lifting till my energy comes back, hopefully in the next day or so. Tonsils are swolen (receding now) and running a fever. I'm pretty screwed from anything like a high spot on this competition, but I'll still give it my best!
I hear ya, @baconsandwich - I just got snagged with what I'm hoping is just a little bit of the flu bug myself. Missed today, hoping I can get back in the saddle tomorrow, but that will depend on whether I go to work or not.
So I spent what is normally my day off by starting at my new job ... and after an 8 hours shift they asked me to stay 2 more hours. Couldn't really say "no" when the person asking is planning to have dinner with my new boss. At least I'm getting paid hourly until I leave my old job in a few weeks when I'll be on salary. Didn't have time to work out though. Poor husband is suffering the exercise loss since he waited for me. Hoping every other day is more reasonable so I can fight to get the challenge lead back

That sucks. I'm actually wondering if whatever I have is bronchitis or something similar. I worked out Monday with minimal problems, but as soon as I started working out yesterday, I felt like absolute crap. My throat hurts from coughing a lot and I'm having trouble breathing sometimes. I CAN'T BE SICK!!! I have a convention to go to this weekend as well as Emerald City Comic Con next weekend!
I still managed to weigh myself yesterday. Only gained .2 pounds, which is not bad, all things considered, but so much for my one pound a week streak.
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!
Week 3 - 2/19: 104.2 - Was sick for the past week and missed 3 workouts. This upcoming week isn't looking so good either with a convention coming up.

I have to be a bit more disciplined. I know I probably did lose, but my "morning routine" didn't happen and I weighed myself again later in the day and it was more after eating and whatnot.
If I can do that with this upcoming WW week, I should have a decent loss with playing hockey 5 out of 6 days.
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.
I blame the beer I had last night during a Rock Band fundraiser I was running for putting some water weight back in me. I had no progress, but if I had weighed in yesterday, I would have probably been back down a pound.
No matter, I consider it a win since I was in the gym once thanks to a flu bug that hit me. I did have a great run on Monday right before I got sick, so I know I'm getting my swagger back..
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: 224 - NOPE
Week 8 - 2/28:
Week 9 - 3/7:
Week 10 - 3/14:
Week 11 - 3/21 (Final Weigh-In/Progress Indicator):
Clocked in at just over 4000 calories yesterday (roughly 200g protein, 300g fat, 140g carbs). It's a lot harder to get there without dairy (I cut out dairy in the beginning of January).
My menu:
Breakfast: 5 pieces of bacon, chopped/crisped with 5 eggs and 1/2 an avocado. Topped with salsa.
Lunch: 1/2 lb ground beef with about 3 cups of broccoli.
Post workout: 5 eggs cooked in coconut oil.
Dinner: 1/2 lb top sirloin, 2 sweet potatoes with ghee, huge pile of asparagus and brussels sprouts cooked in bacon grease.
Dessert?: 1.5 cups frozen blackberries blended with 1 can of coconut milk.
I've weighed in as heavy as 177 this week, but it still bounces down to 175, so I'm not "counting" it yet.
Weighed myself today just to double check my weigh in from yesterday. I am at 201 and change, so my weigh in was a fluke. Three more days of hockey until my next weigh in. Should be a good one.
Looking forward to checking in tomorrow.
2nd day at the new site and was planning to really pull in my snacking, but accepted an offer of a most delicious cupcake ... Didn't want to put anyone in the nursing staff off until they know me a little better and won't take it personally. Exercise planned tomorrow - Yay first day off in a while! switching my weighing in for Sundays, b/c I've been missing the other days due to work :P
Loving all the activity though!!
Started excercising last week, and damned if I didn't gain a pound. I can't seem to get away from 150 +/- a pound. Not sure what else to try, but I'm just going to keep counting points and see where I end up for PAX.
Goal: 130
How do you plan on achieving this goal: Weight Watchers and going from zero exercise to moderate exercise 3 times a week

What sort of exercise are you doing? If you're weightlifting or something similar you may be one of the majoriy who's body won't burn fat and make muscle at the same time.

Ballet + strength and flexibility exercies (ab and core work, mainly). I was a fairly serious dancer back in my younger days, and unless things have changed, I definitely don't build muscle easily. I am hoping that getting an hour of good exercise in 3 times a week will get me off this plateau that I can't seem to get past.
Today was my first day back at the gym after a 10-day bout with the flu. Was slow, but vigorous.
At this point, i'm just hoping to get back into the groove by PAX. Too many damn life interruptions.
I think I am just changing my PAX goal to be under 200lbs (again). This way if I hit 195lbs, it will be a bonus PAX goal. I am at 201ish right now and we have about 3 weeks to go.
If I had to guess my weigh-in this week, I am going to say 200.2lbs. I want to say under 200lbs, but I don't think I will get that. Although, I have floor hockey tonight and ice tomorrow...
We will see.
We need the panels to be announced already so we can maybe decide on a meet up time.
Just started my Dodgeball league yesterday, it did not help my lingering shoulder injury that occurred during the Summer. Hope this won't slow down my lifting.
I just signed up for the Pokecrawl, if you're from the Fitocracy group odds are I will get you a round if you recognize me.

My bench press has gone up (which never happens and I'm beyond thrilled about it). Eating lots is going well - we're getting to the end of our freezer full of grass fed beef (more is coming in March!) and most of what's left is roasts, so the portions are massive for the two of us, which is a good thing. My bodyweight is starting to move up from 175 by a tiny bit, but I'm not very good at consistently weighing myself at the same time each day, so I'm still counting it as 175.
Goal: Get stronger (bench press, squat, deadlift going up), build muscle (bodyweight going up) with minimal fat gain (maintain my waistline).
How do you plan on achieving this goal: Lifting heavy 3x/week, sprints/intervals 1x/week, yoga 3x (at least)/week. Strict Paleo, eat lots (4000 calories +) on lifting days (2000-2500 on non-lifting days).
I have a great feeling about losing this week. I can't wait for tomorrow to weigh in.
And yea, we should definitely look for each other for the challenges! My friends and I are working on costumes of some sort. I'll let you all know what we decide on so you can spot us easily.

Making some great progress with my weight loss while maintaining my strength.
I hope everyone will get better soon and be able to get back on track.
@ishtra I won't give up that lead easily :P
If I can do that with this upcoming WW week, I should have a decent loss with playing hockey 5 out of 6 days.
How do you plan on achieving this goal: Sticking to my decent eating habits and playing hockey multiple times a week.

No matter, I consider it a win since I was in the gym once thanks to a flu bug that hit me. I did have a great run on Monday right before I got sick, so I know I'm getting my swagger back..
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: 224 - NOPE
Week 8 - 2/28:
Week 9 - 3/7:
Week 10 - 3/14:
Week 11 - 3/21 (Final Weigh-In/Progress Indicator):
My menu:
Lunch: 1/2 lb ground beef with about 3 cups of broccoli.
Post workout: 5 eggs cooked in coconut oil.
Dinner: 1/2 lb top sirloin, 2 sweet potatoes with ghee, huge pile of asparagus and brussels sprouts cooked in bacon grease.
Dessert?: 1.5 cups frozen blackberries blended with 1 can of coconut milk.
I've weighed in as heavy as 177 this week, but it still bounces down to 175, so I'm not "counting" it yet.

2nd day at the new site and was planning to really pull in my snacking, but accepted an offer of a most delicious cupcake ... Didn't want to put anyone in the nursing staff off until they know me a little better and won't take it personally. Exercise planned tomorrow - Yay first day off in a while! switching my weighing in for Sundays, b/c I've been missing the other days due to work :P
Loving all the activity though!!
If I keep this up I should be in the 180's for PAX East!

What sort of exercise are you doing? If you're weightlifting or something similar you may be one of the majoriy who's body won't burn fat and make muscle at the same time.

Ballet + strength and flexibility exercies (ab and core work, mainly). I was a fairly serious dancer back in my younger days, and unless things have changed, I definitely don't build muscle easily. I am hoping that getting an hour of good exercise in 3 times a week will get me off this plateau that I can't seem to get past.
At this point, i'm just hoping to get back into the groove by PAX. Too many damn life interruptions.
If I had to guess my weigh-in this week, I am going to say 200.2lbs. I want to say under 200lbs, but I don't think I will get that. Although, I have floor hockey tonight and ice tomorrow...
We will see.
We need the panels to be announced already so we can maybe decide on a meet up time.

Blue Silver for me. Looks like we'll all be looking for each other for challenges XD
And yea, we should definitely look for each other for the challenges! My friends and I are working on costumes of some sort. I'll let you all know what we decide on so you can spot us easily.
