Weight Loss Challenge

[seieienbu]

I haven't been particularly active in this thread but I've been sticking to my gym routine after I finally got my body to accept the hard truth that yes, I am going to make it lift heavy things again.  I got off to a slow start but I'm happy to say that

Feel free to consider me out of the contest as I did not follow the rules, but nevertheless, I started at 223 and am now down to 211.  12 pounds in three months isn't exactly stellar but I'm pleased that I'm on the right path again.  It took me too long to get back to the gym from an injury but now that I'm there I feel better than I have for most of this year so win or lose the competition I'm happy with my progress.

If we do another one of these any time soon I'll gladly enter it as well.

Started at 211. Finished at 209.6. Damn, I really lost focus. I did hit a low of 203.4 in late August. Oh well.

Congrats to everyone who managed to stick with it!

Cant remember what I started at...

Weigh in today was 194.4 lbs though.

Started at 163.6
Finished at 128.5

35.1 lbs.  lost. 

Honestly, I'm really surprised how much I've lost overall and quite thrilled with my results.  My target weight was to be around 140 lbs and never would have thought I'd ever reach or even surpass my goal.  I even had to buy smaller sized clothes a few weeks ago.

So after my juicer broke, I used a blender and strainer which worked well but took me a lot more time to make my daily juice.  I was still able to keep at it during this week's final stretch. 

I'm pretty much a skeleton now, just in time for Halloween.   I definitely need to do strength training and gain some muscle mass.   

Much thanks to Dean again for putting together and managing this challenge.  I definitely wouldn't have lost as much without you all and this challenge.

You started at 196.2.

[seieienbu]

Started at 285.4
Finished at 255.8

29.6 lost... Dammit. I gorged on homemade beef jerky last night, which in retrospect was very stupid. Sodium bombed myself at the finish line. We'll just say it was a self inflicted handicap because I felt bad for csgx losing his juice maker.

Thanks again for organizing this, Dean! 

30 pounds is quite impressive, congratulations!

35.1 lbs.  lost. 

   

But yeah, 35 pounds?  Super congrats!!

[Gredler]

Congrats to you winners, and progress makers. I will join another if you guys want a round 2!

[khyron65]

Yes. make a round 2 so I can get in on the ground level!

[xelement5x]

Congrats to all participants!

Even if you didn't win the contest, every step towards a healthier lifestyle is a real world level up. 

[crazydean]

Hey guys, nullity asked me about a round 2, I know that some of you are interested in doing this again. My life right now is not stable enough for me to be a part of this, so if someone wants to run another one, I encourage you to do so.

[khyron65]

I was giving this a little thought. These are the holiday months and we are only two months away from the new years so maybe start another challenge on the new year? regardless I will probably stay on here and report my failures until someone steps up and fills the void. Right now im filling my void with food.

And the next day I dropped to 193.0 Oh well hehe.  Maybe a new years second day round go would be good?
