lazarus February 15, 2008 Share lazarus Member February 15, 2008 (edited) I'm looking to cut my cholesterol and lose some weight in the process. This could be some good motivation. I took a blood test about 1 month ago and my trigycerides were 8X the normal limit.....so i thought a change in diet was in order. So I've cut out red meat, pork, and sugar. I eat mostly fish, fruits and veggies now, but now I would like to add-in a workout routine. And this contest would be a good push for me to start excersizing more. Here are my stats: 5'9" 30 yrs old 225 (not sure where I really want to end up wieght-wise, cause I'd like to pack on some muscle as well) for now I'll say 200 Also, on a side note, I have a doctor nutritionist friend, and I told her about this contest. And while she appluads the effort to be more healthy, she was saying that losing more than 1lb a week is not really that healthy for longterm effective weightloss. What is your experience with this kind of rapid weight loss? Seems like ideally, we'd all lose 15 pounds in a 15 week event.

Bubblegum Bandit February 15, 2008 Share Bubblegum Bandit Member February 15, 2008 I've always heard 2lbs a week, but if she is in the business then she probably knows better than I. As Fat pointed out to me, the goal # isn't what you want to lose in the 15 weeks, its where you think you should be overall. Its a way for him to gage how much you have to lose in the total process to help him make the teams as even as possible. As long as you eat a decent amount and exercise I think its a healthy weight loss though. Its when people start taking diuretics and starving themselves that unhealthy weight loss occurs. If you've been in the workout or nutrition business at all you know that starving yourself actually hurts your weightloss and with diuretics you're just tinkleing all of your water out of your system which isn't healthy either. The more you have to lose, usually the faster your initial weight loss will be. That's why he's going by % instead of lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatty February 15, 2008 Author Share Fatty GC Founder February 15, 2008 Yea, my target will be 2 lbs / week. That would be beyond my full goal actually....so if i lose a pound or two each week I'll be very content.] As far as gaining weight back....well, I am living proof that if you stop exercising and go back to the lifestyle you had before...the weight comes back. Most of us can attest to that. I hope that we can all find some steady loss here and lose a bunch of weight as a group....would be great to lose an entire 200 lb person and ban him from GC.....like, Fatty2.....

TheGeek February 15, 2008 Share TheGeek Member February 15, 2008 (edited) I like the team split paying plan you had on page 1 fatty. So are we going to pay at the end of the contest? And what is the official start date? Right now I have strep throat. I'm not going to exercise until I get better. I am losing weight though, 5 pounds in a week.

Fatty February 15, 2008 Author Share Fatty GC Founder February 15, 2008 Today / tomorrow is first weigh in.....so, um, we've already started....sorta. Is your weight posted above before or after you were sick? It should be your present weight. Don't know what to tell you if you're down 5 lbs now due to sickness...<shrugs> As far as the teams go, we're going to wait until tomorrow night to see if anyone else wants to jump in with us.

soul .gc February 16, 2008 Share soul .gc Member February 16, 2008 I will paypal after my golf vacation this next week (5 days in Myrtle and out of this cold Michigan weather). Current weight, as of 7am this morning - 231. I will send the classic "fatman wearing a banana hammock" picture this weekend. This kinda sucks though - I leave on vacation the week this starts....luckily we are on a liquid diet most of the week while golfing!

Ordered by the ultimate goal, the teams will be every other person on a team....starting at the top of the list.... The last number is your ultimate goal....NOT the goal for these 15 weeks..... Did any of you guys think of this as 105 days? Here's to keeping each other going for a long time! After platform tennis we went inside today and I normally hit a double packet hot chocoloate.....just did hot tea this time..... Someone wanna do the stone conversion for SJ?
