New years resoultion.

Due to me looking at videos on youtube and finding one of a guy who lost allot of weight and due to sinan's and horetore's posts. I've decided to join the fun and drop a bad habit of mine. The bad habit... being severely over weight. while im young and spry, 17, i would like to drop from my current weight of 307 to about 225 to 250 but being 6'3" i dont look that over weight but i can feel it on my body so i'ma follow what every one else is doing a post a bi-daily update on how my weight lost regime is going.

Starting: January 1, 2008
Goal: to weigh 225 lbs by August 9th, 2008
What i have to cut down: Red meats fatty meats, the sour dough bread i love so much, sprite, the pasta, the being lazy and playing computer games all day long.
Why post: cause i think it will help me stay with it as long as other people know about it, even if they don't care

Schedule:
5:00am: Get up and go for a walk(going to turn it into a jog as so as im sure i can last an hour)
6:00am: Get back and get ready for school
6:40am: Leave for school
5:00-5:40pm: Get back from school take a round-a-bout walk for an hour and a half
7:00pm: get home work on homework for an hour
8:30pm: use computer
10:00pm: sleep

I think I'll join you Jkarinen, see if not only will this work out for me, but keep us going.

Age: 17
Currently: 230 lbs
Hopeful weight by 1 month: 215

Anyone else?:laugh4:

Sweet thanks.

Ooo! What a coincidence! I was going to start a weight loss regimen also to get back down to my previous weight of 185 lbs and perhaps maybe loss a bit more. Since my parents won't be around at home for three months, I will be able to exercise more freely without having them there to stare and criticize my attempts to lose weight. I will start to eat more leafy green vegetables and RAW UNCOOKED carrots (w/o boiling them in butter water and sauteeing them in meat juice leftover from the steak), usually the only time I eat carrots. I don't know what to do about the rice (hence the carbs) since I need it and love it (I have a rice belly due to my love of rice). Savory foods and salads just don't taste good with rice. I will see if I can cut my consumption from 5 bowls of rice a day down to 3 bowls. And I will eat more fruits besides apples (I hope I can find the time to eat fresh fruits instead of canned ones).

Age:18
Current Weight:246 lbs
Weight Goal:185 lbs (although getting down to the 200-210 range would do wonders for my confidence and self esteem if I even make it that far.)

I might as well join you guys.

Age:18
Current weight:210-215
Weight Goal:190

I am around as tall as Jkarinen 6'3" and I've got a bit of a gut which I would like to lose. I've kinda started already(I've cut down on the amount of sugar I consume ex:sodas, candies, ect.) My big problem is not exercising hopefully I can change that. Good luck to you all.

Eh, what the heck.

Age: 17

height: 6' 1"

Weight: 225 lbs

I actually eat pretty decent for the most part, I just don't exercise much. Perhaps an aerobic routine? Though we don't have a gym membership, so running might need to wait a week or two until the sidewalk thaws out.

how much is ibs in kg?

1 kg= 2.2 lbs, IIRC

I guess I'll join in.

Age: 18

Current Weight: 110 lbs

Weight Goal: 140 lbs

:smug:

:director: SwordsMaster! Stage right!

I've been working on that for a while too. I'm about 5'10" and 180 at the moment, and I'd like to get down to 170, but I'm not sure if that's realistic because I'm not built to be skinny and really if I just improve my muscle tone and work off some fat I'll be more than happy. To that end I've been working out every couple of days for a while, but I haven't done it for about a week because I got sick and exercising when sick is no fun. Hopefully I can get back to it today.

Using an online converter tool, it tells me my 87 or 88 kg are around 191 lbs.
I guess I wouldn't mind going back to some 82 kg or so again, but not very likely.
6 foot (183/184 cm) but this actually feels rather overweight for some reason.

Hmm:

Age: 22
height: 185-186cm or around 6'1"
weight: around 70kg or 154lb

target: 7'3" a bit more fat, a bit more muscle until whenever I feel like it. :sweatdrop:

What I want to say is good luck with losing weight, maybe we can meet somewhere in the middle. :laugh4:

Well today I rode my bike for 2 miles and did 10 pushups. I'll wait a week before I check for a weight change.

This is great. I really like this. ONWARD !!! I'm really happy that my quit smoking thread has inspired some of you to take your challenges !

I'd like to be part of this one.

There's this aerobics instructor who can beat me in cardio anytime. She gives an aerobics class with a combination of different fighting styles (she's at KILLER level in Taekwondo). She really inspires me because the girl can freakin kick some butt. I've gone cycling, swimming, running with her and she creams me in endurance all the time. I'm sick and tired of it. Now seeing as I'm getting thrashed by this chick regularly I'm gonna have to do something about it (already seduced her, she still beats me).

This is not my only motivator though, I'm 34 and if I want a body like Brad Pitt in Troy anytime soon, I'd better get on with it. I also want to define myself more and I've had some slack off periods in physical activity this year thanks to gaming my butt off. I want to get fighting fit again. My posture isn't that great at times and I really need to straighten up.

So my resolution is:

• increase cardio vascular endurance and power
• build muscular strength and endurance
• build muscle mass
• achieve concrete definition - chiselled Brad Pitt Troy or Fight Club looks

Starting stats 1/1/8
Age: 34
Weight: 79 kgs / 175 pounds
Height: 185 cm / 6.07 feet

This is going to be an year long project, I'm not sure if I can get the results in a year because the Fight Club physique is very hard to accomplish, maybe I can do it in 8 months, not sure. The look is not as important as the actual physical improvement. I will have to cut it down in steps.

STEP 1 January.

• Make a solid workout plan for 12 months, month by month.
• Go to the gym, running, swimming no matter how I feel.
• Eat right, cook and take care of myself no matter how I feel.
• Sleep enough and early, rise early.
• Do at least 30 minutes meditation every other day, morning and night.
• Always practice Tantra, learn more about Tantra and do Tantric excercises no matter how I feel, at every possible occasion.

I wish you all GOOD LUCK !

Alright since it is the day before January 1, 2008 I'm posting a small little etch of what I think its going to be like.

Well today I went to a raiders game and chowed down on nachos and garlic fries(stomach is killing me) I did that as kind of a last hurrah as thats the last of that food I'm eating for a while(in sense of the raiders game for ever). But it was all fun, so tomorrow i wake up at 5:00 and go for a walk... then I have to find something to do during my supposed school hours(it doesnt start till the third) I have to get a wisdom tooth removed on friday so its going to cut into my excercise regime for atleast 5 days due to being doped up on vicoden and the antibiotics are supposed to make me incredibly sleepy. my only true worry is that the 5 day hold off is going to effect me so much i might slip back into my old laziness.

What else do you like to do other than gaming ? Do something else. This might sound uncool but if you've got stuff to do around the house, fix that old closet, wash the car etc ?

I suggest more pushups, next time, do 3x5, try to get up to 3x10 eventually, just one set isn't enough to make you sweat. ~D
I can do 3x10 but then doing them isolated is easy.

Sinana, that sounds good, i just hope you eat enough as I found out when you have no energy, going to work out is useless, you just won't be able to do a lot as you're out of energy. I may have to get used to eating more and faster. :laugh4:

Got it covered, loads of grains, fish, chicken, fruit, vegetables... home cooked. I'm going to go contrary to everything and do a bit of TURBOCARB in the beginning. Cutting down slowly. Let the year begin !

work on my families old 1950 chevy deluxe i guess

I don't have much to say but I wish you all good luck. It's nice to see people making good resolutions and taking some initiative. :2thumbsup:

I will join with this:

Age:16
Currently hours in pc: Depends, but 6 to 8

That schedules a little tough and I think it will be a lot of work for a little weight loss. Watching your diet and going to the gym for an hour every 2 or 3days will do the trick for you.

P.S. I wish I had only an hour of homework :(

My new years resolution will be to become a better person this year, the next year and years following. A project that will never end until death and is hard to maintain always.:bow:

I'd like to join in. :yes:

Age: 24
height: 6'2" or a bit higher.
weight: 245lb

Goal: To get rid of that extra weight around my mid-section. I'm thinking about 225 or so will do it, maybe a bit lower.

Tonight's New Years in my hemisphere, and kind of my last hurrah before trying to cut back on bad foods.(mostly on soda, but on some other things as well).

Good luck to everyone else. :2thumbsup:

OK ok,

Age: 17
height: 173-174cm
weight: 140lbs (~63kgs) http://rbrally.gamenavigator.ru/foru...lies/anger.gif

target weight: 160lbs

without growing in the 'mid-section' :D

Meh, I'm not to into school, so an hour of homework will keep me at a c average. Me, I kind of Don't want any one in my family to know about this because they'd all be really skeptical and what not. So if i go for a walk after my dad leaves and before my brother wakes up then I'll be in the clear. But today i missed my 5:00 walk so i guess I'll have to go for a longer one tonight or something... not sure how the whole weight loss thing works

Well like Sinan I'm 34 years old and I got on the scales yesterday but didn't post so:

Starting stats 1/1/8
Age: 34
Height: 184 cm / 6 foot.
Mass: 91 kgs / 200 pounds
Body Fat: 19.7%
BMI: 26.9

Short Term Goal:
During April,
Mass: less then 82 kgs
Body Fat: less then 16.4% (this is purely a function of my previous weight loss being 1 kg of fat to 1 kg of muscle)
BMI: 24.22`

In 2006 I dropped from 99kg to 85kg from January to April. So this is a very achievable goal.

Long Term Goal
Go from a keg to a six pack by next summer '08/'09 have a trim stomach and be able to see the abs and the side ones again.
To get abs to show need a body fat less then 10%. So medium term goal would be get to a BMI of 22.5 (76kg), given that I lose 1kg of fat to muscle on most of my workout programs that should take me to a body fat of 13.7%. At that point it is a matter of doing the really hard yards. Cross that bridge later as it really depends on my muscle:fat loss ratio, and that will determine what exercise course that I do later: Lots of cardio vs lots of weights.

Methodology:
My aim is to add and replace and not to 'deny' straight out. So I will be adding more drinks of water and green tea. Adding more fruit and nuts. Eating more yoghurt, vegetables and lots of lean meats and whey protein. I won't o buy junk food or chocolate... I will just finish my Xmas supply over the next few months in moderation. Main aim is to avoid empty carbs... simple refined ones used in softdrinks and candies are the obvious ones.

Also more sleep and exercise. Large muscle groups have to be re-energised and bulked up to burn up fat and to replace the muscle mass I always lose. So squats, bench presses, walking, swimming, pushups, chinups and situps are all back on the menu. Cardio needs to go in and up as that helps clear the mind and keep the system healthy.

Got to be aware that a new exercise program often has several downsides.
Pain Get through the first 6 weeks and those gym sessions go from mentally being a source of pain to an endorphin rush... must push to gym junkie stage.
Sickness I find that when I start an exercise program I have a much higher chance of getting sick. So plenty of water, sleep and vitamin C needs to be incorporated into the plan.
Injury It happens, particularly as one remembers what one could do and not what one can currently do. So limber up... do those stretches, go for correct form first and heavy weights second.

Starting point:
1.83 m
71 kilo

Goal:
1.83
71 kilo

Means to achieve goal:
Exercise - taking a stroll down to the shops and market
Eating habits - endless indulgence in lavish amounts of new and exciting tastes. :2thumbsup:

Week 1
Mornings:
Day1 Running 30-45 minutes 80-90% of maximum heart rate, sauna.
Day2 Full body 3 sets per body part to exhaustion 80% of 1 rep maximum.
