TNL Weight Loss Challenge

Belated progress report: Worse than expected
started at June:1 @ 195, family dinners + finals for a year will do that shit.
Current progress end of June: 187

Eating right (some junk but far out weighed by fresh/homecooked meals), and some activity: walking and cutting out artifical sugars almost entirely. Can't avoid that shit, its in everything.

Main factors: Stress is WAY down, getting sleep. Like all time low, cut down on the saturday/sunday family binges we call the all day family gatherings.

Next step: regular exercise, further diet improvement
20-30 minute workout including a mile run/walk 2-3 times a week seems like a decent start. Probably be longer than due to me being completely fucking out of shape. Maybe going totally vegetarian, but i doubt it. But cutting out fatty/unnecessary meats when there's better veggie food available.

weigh in at noon... when i woke up.

200 lbs.

No change in weight, but a substantial loss in pant size. Also, an increase in muscle mass.

So I didn't lose weight per se, but I have gained muscle and lost fat.

I haven't really participated here in any official sense, but my last known weight was 170 in the buff (maybe 3-4 months ago?), and today at the gym I was 159 dressed. I had gotten up to 31 pant size, but I'm down to 29 again. Six pack is showing through, legs are getting big again, so I'm going to keep with this and try to throw in some more cardio.

I drink soda and skip meals, but I bike a lot and lift weights. I'd really like to start a martial arts program again, but where I live they cost $140/month and up - which is a stiff bill to take when I'm used to getting in free at the University.

edit: oh yeah, I quit WoW too, which helps in more ways than you might think.

I have been working out but a weekend of drinking had its effects. I didn't lose any weight but I didn't gain any either.

Nah, I just had way too many successive posts. Still at 194 :(.

I just got back from the gym and hour or so ago, and I just weighed in. Still at 209. Whether I went back up or back down in the meantime, I couldn't be sure. My eating habits haven't been as good as they were the first few weeks after my sleeping schedule went to shit again, but I've been getting back in the groove of at least running every day. Like Josh said earlier, I don't think it's hard at all. You just have to not be a lazy retard. I'm working on this. I have confidence that my superior self-loathing will drive me to victory if I keep my eyes on the goal! :link:

side note: I could wear a 34, but I like a little room so its 36.

Down six pounds, better then up six.

I finally broke through the 170lb floor and currently stand at 169lbs. This won't last long.

A post-rolling pic from today. I need some new draws. I also farted seconds after this shot.
