Master  1848     Canandaigua |  Subject: RE: Dexter and Marmadaddy's Group: CLOSEDSome where there is thing about black eye peas and new years. I always do better with my nutrition when I do log it. For me it's a matter of writing it down, just in general. Of course I'd have to write anything down that would work some. I'm off to Tennessee to visit MIL for a week. Y, WIllie and a buddy of his are coming too. I plan to run some Wii a bunch and sit on my . The inactive athlete. We'll shop and what not. The race was good. Mike and I set a goal of 9:30 and he kept pushing it. It was cold and snowy a little, yep Freezeroo. Edited by dexter 2010-01-01 7:30 PM |

Regular 71 Hertford,Hertfordshire | Subject: RE: Dexter and Marmadaddy's Group: CLOSED On a final note i am married and have 2 girls of 5 and 10. I need to lose at least 30lbs as well. I am currently 5'11" and 235lbs a portion of my initial entry above. below an update ok today was weigh in Day in Mac's life, starting point is 232lbs for the weight loss challenge. No secret that i have some work to do to reduce the BMI overall. However for once i am looking forward to the challenge as i have found a new sporting direction that although is the toughest to date, I think will also deliver the best feeling of overall achievement. Seems the right time to set some personnel goals as well. I have the date for my first Sprint tri (18th April). it is shorter than a full sprint but gives me a chance to sample how it works in a smaller field at a local event before moving onwards and upwards Personnel Goals for January Complete a 5km non stop by end of January ( time irrespective for jan ) Reduce 400m swim time to 9 minutes from current 10:20 Complete the 20km training ride in sub 47 minutes. Weight loss 10lbs If I achieve the run part of the goals. I will look to enter a winter duathlon in february The start of a long road to achievement begins here. All the best to every member of the group. |

| Member 34 | Subject: RE: Dexter and Marmadaddy's Group: CLOSED I am following the couch to sprint free program. It calls for each phase to be done 3 times a week, but twice a week might be all I can get to the pool. Will this still be sufficient for a complete beginner? I really do mean beginner! Plus I have a ton of weight to lose. I am starting at 274 (weight as of this morning -- 1/2/09) when 174 would still be too heavy. I am upset I let myself gain all this weight back, but it is amazing how much better I feel even after just a couple days of jogging, a ST session the other day and eating cleaner today. |

Expert 1452 Troy, MI | Subject: RE: Dexter and Marmadaddy's Group: CLOSED My weight will be in my training logs. I was also 10 lbs above where I was on 1/1/09. My goal is to get to 145 and decrease my body fat by 10 percent (last time I was measured at the gym I was in the low 30's). Hopefully next year at this time, I will have accomplished all this. |

As of this morning... 195.0 lbs. 21.5% body fat - that's 42 lbs of unneeded, unproductive fat. Hey Bruce, There are several ways to do this, most of which aren't especially accurate. The easiest way is bioelectrical impedance, like a scale that displays % body fat. The trick, I've found, is to always measure at the same time in the same condition. I measure first thing in the morning, before I've had anything to eat or drink. It may only be accurate to within 5-10%, but I use the measurements to see which way I'm trending more than anything else. And I've measured at enough places to know I'm somewhere around 25%. I'm sure your gym has some scales or a hand-held device that does this. Here's a link to a brief overview: http://www.annecollins.com/body-fat-calculators.htm |

Regular 71 Hertford,Hertfordshire | Subject: RE: Dexter and Marmadaddy's Group: CLOSED I too use a weiging machine. Not sure on accuracy. But I believe it gives a good guide to where you sit. Variation has generally been within a % and weight has stayed fairly static. |

Veteran 148 Northwest Arkansas | Subject: RE: Dexter and Marmadaddy's Group: CLOSED Case and point on food logging: I know popped corn isn't very good for me, but how bad for my fat loss diet can it be really? I asked my wife if she wanted some popped corn this afternoon, made it the usual way (on the stove with Smart Balance oil and Orville's corn; no butter), divided it into two bowls - one for each of us. Then I decided I'd check it out before I ate it. My bowl had 850 calories, 88% of that from fat. I'd be better off drinking a 6 pack of beer. Much better off. So no popped corn for me today. Lots of carrot sticks though. |

Member 125 Chelsea, MI | Subject: RE: Dexter and Marmadaddy's Group: CLOSED Do yourself a favor and buy yourself an air popper (and better popcorn). I use popcorn from a local guy in an air popper and it's good even without butter/oil - but if you must add, a tablespoon or two drizzled over the top won't turn it into a ridiculous splurge, but instead a decent-for-you snack. (Whole grains! Ha!) Apparently this is what I should have been eating for the last two months instead of all those lovely baked treats... 208.5, and at 5'4", that means you all have something to worry about in the percent-lost department. |

Veteran 291 | Subject: RE: Dexter and Marmadaddy's Group: CLOSED Popcorn is my favorite snack...especially at night with a glass of OJ, I am addicted to that sour and salty taste...I may have to start limiting just to the weekends. I only eat the home style, light salt and very light butter, just thinking about it I get cravings..... |

Master 1848 Canandaigua | Subject: RE: Dexter and Marmadaddy's Group: CLOSED Ideally popcorn is a whole grain healthy right? Yep it is the butter, salt, cheese and even sugar added to it that is bad. Thanks for the weights we have a good start to a great finish. No to go chase down M-daddy. |

Master 1848 Canandaigua | Subject: RE: Dexter and Marmadaddy's Group: CLOSED Good morning kids. I'm going to try and log or at least try to comment on my nutrition every day. You can call me on it. Make changes in our diet takes knowing what the hell we are eating in the first place. I'm not a big reader but trying to finish Race Weight. maybe a review when we are down. |

Veteran 158 Golden, CO | Subject: RE: Dexter and Marmadaddy's Group: CLOSED Good Morning Everybody! ok. so my start weight is 145.5. Doesn't sound too bad....of course I am only 5'3"- if I stand up really straight and give myself a quarter inch....according to wii fit (which a friend loaned me yesterday), my bmi is 26.58 and should be 22 which means I need to drop 20 lbs. I knew that any way... The stupid machine also added 5 years to my age. Also asked me if I have trouble walking...do I trip a lot? WTF? I am going to retest on it tonight. That was just rude and mean....But kind of funny! At least my husband thought so. Probably funnier because it put his Wii age at -3...meaning he is with an older woman. Oh yeah...heard about that allllll night. |
