EB.com BIGGEST LOSER

[maryannette]

I'm in. I haven't gained any weight. I'm still at 160, but SO out of shape. I need to lose weight (about 20 pounds) and get some tone back in my muscles.

I'm all for keeping it going... I got down to about 205-210, but with my schedule over the past few months, I'm almost worse than when I started...

If you as a group decide to keep it going, Can I be added in? I have been planning to start/change/etc. for several months.......

If the thread dies, I'm still planning on going to the gym.

My latest goal is to get up to 160 by June. I've been stalled at 150-153 for over a month now and it's getting frustrating.

Thread will stay alive I'm sure. Once I can finally breathe again, I'll be hitting the gym, going back on the Metformin, and working my way into the new Atkins diet. I'm going to lose this weight if it kills me.

I had a baby a year ago now....

Before pregnancy I was 126, now down to 122

College was rough on me, too much beer and pizza, I was up to 148 by my junior yr, happily not there anymore!!!!!

Thanks to Power Yoga, Pilates and Horseback riding... Oh yeah, and chasing a 1 yr old around then she eats 1/2 my dinner! Now just gotta keep an eye on what I eat!!

My wife raves about yoga. I don't know the name of what she does, but it's the one with the super-heated & humid room. She constantly begs me to go with her, but IMO yoga is too hippy and I will continue to boycott out of pure stubbornness.

Birkram. I live in a hippy area of Colorado. And my BIL has done it.

Well it took 2 extra weeks, but I made my goal of 175 finally. All the miles I've been putting on the bike get most of the credit.

Next up: The 170 barrier.

Hit the 169 mark today after my Tour de Cure ride this past weekend.

Next up -- triathlon season.

Anyone else still working on their goals? Wasn't there some kind of team competition going on here?

Good job!

I have started on a full regiment with the Metformin (glucophage) finally. After three days, it curbed my appetite considerably, just like it did the first time. I lose the temptation to overeat and pick between meals accordingly, so I'm finally on the right path again. Haven't had sugary drinks in a few days, either.

you haven't had much of anything in a few days.

Started CrossFit about 7 weeks ago, I have only lost about 5 pounds with it but friends and family have noticed that I look more “trim”. I have noticed big changes in how my clothes fit, so it was hard to believe that I had only lost 5 pounds.

I just played my 3rd round of golf this week today, and I've worked out every day for over 850 days. Weighed in at 220 right before my shower. I started at 315.

I had my fitting for the bridesmaids dress yesterday and it needs to be taken in 4-6 inches depending on the area!!!!! 4 months means about an inch off the tummy each month! Maybe by the wedding in July it will be baggy again!

This is true.

Last night MIAF saw an old picture of me when I was at my lowest weight, and inadvertently blurted out "WOW! You looked so different!"

That was a bit of a blow to the self esteem.

With Crossfit you probably put on some muscle while losing fat. So the inches came off but it doesn't show as much on the scale. But the important thing is the inches, not the scale!

I have a bunch of friends who do Crossfit so I think I might try it out sometime.
