Weigh-in this am: 250.6.  That's a loss of 3.4 since last week, so I am very happy!  My goal for this month is 235.

You can pull me out.After month's of meticulously keeping track of calories and busting my , I give up. I'm going to eat what I want. The way I see it, if I'm not losing the weight there's no need to put myself though being hungry all day long. Better to be fat and happy then fat and miserable.
JC - If you've been working diligently and have seen no results, it may be time to talk to your doctor or an endocrinollogist, to rule out any health conditions that may be frustrating your weight loss.

Losta,  As was said weigh in on Wed and set monthly goals.  I am a big believer in baby steps.  Set a goal you know you can achieve and work from there.

Hello Skinnies!
I'm back in at 297. However I have a feeling I'm going to have a tougher time losing this month. Last night I was doing some repair work to the Garage. When I went to get on the step ladder I felt something pop in my left knee. The pain was unbelievable! It had been a little tender for about the past three weeks. I just figured I may have overdone my strength training. Anyway, I'm making an appointment with our Doctor to get it checked out.Frown

Ok I weighed in yesterday. I know how much I weigh but I would rather not put that number on an open forum as it could bounce around the internet for years so I will just say my goal is to lose 8 lbs.in September. Sounds reasonable.

I'm weighing in at 176. Now this just has to be some water weight. Heck. Well, we'll see how I do next week. I'm exercising and watching the food--something's gotta give.

Kiwi, I'm sure sorry about the knee. I hope the doctor visit goes well.

Good luck this week, fellow skinnies!

Weighed in at WW today.  Not good.  142.2, which is up a pound.  I can't explain it, however my new program is "eat less and run more."  I don't really think I consumed 3,500 more calories than I expended this last week.  I am not going to slit my wrists this week.

Man, that even sounds painful! I hope the doctor gives you good news and I hope it doesn't detract from your weight-loss efforts too much. Good Luck.

Hi Skinnies,

I'm at 150.6 to start September. I want to be under 150 for my triathlon a week from Saturday, and after that I'm not really motivated to lose more, but definitely want to maintain below 150.

Good luck everybody!

Hello

I want to join.

Let me give a little back ground.

Feb 2007   Weight  310  and my Dr. doubles my BP med's & added a second pill.   I started Weight Watchers  and have a steady weight loss all aloong this journey.

May 2008 purchased my Specialized Allez Road bike to push my work outs to a new level.

August 2008   230    Feeling great

26 August, 2008  Hernia Surgery-   no excercise for a month,  Sept 08 went on a RC Cruise & gained 10 pounds, football season tailgating, Dec 08 another cruise , Late January 09  Trip to Vegas , Feb 09 -best friend dies,  March 09   50th birthday blow out.  Bla Bla

May 09  Go to Florida for bike ride- look at the pictures    FAT BOY is back  267

June 09  Complete another bike ride and I think I am working the fat off.  NOT!!!! Pictures show fat boy still here

3rd Week in June     Take the step, Draw the line in the sand and sign up for my first Triathlon  Charleston Sprint #4  to be held on 16 August.

Now I have a reason and extra motivation to exercise/train.  When started training I could not  swim 15 meters and I had not run since I was in the Army 20 years ago.   

I still do Weight Watchers on-line to track my food and my weigh in day is Tuesday.  I train every day for my triathlon's. Check my training logs.

1 Sept 09 I weighed in at 251   ( fat boy starting to be replaced by a tall guy with muscles)

My Goal for September    243

Kevin

Well, which is it?  22% or 29%  The dividing line between good and bad is 25%.  But even if you are at 29%, it isn't that far to get to 25%.  Mine is 33% and I would do almost anything to be at EITHER 22 or 29%.  Well, almost anything except eat less and run more.  But I would do almost anything else.

Welcome, Kevin - this is a great motivational, if occasionally abusive, thread.  You have come a long way on your journey to be a tall guy with muscles and it sure looks like you will achieve your goal.

I'm back for another month.  Didn't lose much last month--my evil boyfriend reintroduced me to the deliciousness of KFC.  Starting out at 133.5.

I was a day late for my weigh in but I sure wasn't the pound short that I was hoping for.  Two pound gain to start the month.  Not good.  I'm at 198.4.  I'll have to exercise hard and do a better job of watching how I eat.  The stress and lack of sleep hasn't helped any either.  That means I have two pounds a week I need to lose instead of the one that I originally needed to hit my goal.  Maybe I'll have to put the bran muffins back on the breakfast menu.  I think they are what did the trick last month.

So, it is 29% which means about 22kg of my body weight is fat- buuuuuuuu! Also did my fitness test today- walk for 12mins- and only managed 0.8 miles which is below average for my age group. Then again she said it might be because we didn't want for my heart rate go too high. Still. Below average.

On the plus side I saw two lads from our rugby team today. I was drying my hair in the pool changing area (hairdryers in "dry locker rooms" are too high for me so I always use the pool ones)and they were aqua jogging or something like that. There's no lying about- those lads are not gonna break world records in any distance swimming but they surely can brighten your day. Well, most of them anyway Hope I'm not inappropriate here.

Not inappropriate at all, always brightens my day when the Perth Glory football team are training in the pool.  Good news that you're back in the gym.  When I had my fat test done, it was 30%, yuck, about a third of me is fat.  

Bit late this week, I know, hubby off to Europe again so haven't been able to use the internet for long.  I'm 59.9kg, hoorah, back in the 50s, if only just.  That's 132lbs so down 0.9lbs.  While my beloved is away, I'm bleaching my teeth so hope to lose a bit more - there's nothing like having hydrogen peroxide in your mouth for an hour every evening to dull your appetite.

Welcome Kevin.  My birthday is also March 9th (a few years earlier though).  Little at a time and you can get there for sure.  Pictures never lie and they definitely can tell stories that we don't see.

Good Evening Skinnies!

Just a note to let you know I saw the Doctor today. And while I was waiting, freezing cold in that little gown they give you, wondering if they make a size a little larger than small, and was I going to wait another 20min. A million and one thoughts running through my mind as to what I did to my knee. What if I'm going to be laid up for 6 to 8 weeks? What was I going to do about work? What about training and exercise? Just then the AC kicks in and sub-artic air rushes out of the vent from the ceiling and straight down my back. 'I swear it was cold enough you could hang meat in that room'!
Finally the 'Doc' walks in, and gives me the news. ( please understand I couldn't remember the technical terms he used even if my life depended on it) What it amounts to, is that I've strained some tissue behind the knee to the point that it could tear! I believe he used the term Tendon. He put me in a leg brace that went from the middle of the calf to mid thigh. And said to stay off it as much as possible for 4 weeks and  we would see how it was healing.
I guess strained is better that torn any day, so I guess I'll count my blessings one by one.Undecided
