Ran 13 miles today in 2:02:00. Starting to taper for the Mini Marathon in two weeks. Goal time will be under 2:00:00. I also ran the Race to the Cure in 23:06, my first 5K. Started out too strong and had to recover costing me some time.

I am still concentrating on losing weight, at this point. I have found success following the principles of Dr. Daniel Kirschenbaum, as he outlines in his book The Healthy Obsession Program.

While I haven't really kept track of belt notches (and can't simply "count" where I am since I've trimmed off the end of the belt--advantage of solid leather) 40 lbs in 5 months is certainly worth something.

Tomorrow, weather permiting, I plan on flying south for an hour'ish and walk back to camp... With a lot of crap I hope I do not have to use in my pack.

To light to fight, to heavy to run... Light Infantry!

No worries Indy.

You do not pay me enough to be a Hero...
That plus I am old enough to realize that medals are just tin and cloth...

Hey PwrCruz,
How is that Krav Maga place...I live really close to one in Castleton and I have been thinking about trying it out...opinions?

 

[DougBarnes101]

We had the final weigh-in for our Biggest Loser Competition here in the office this morning. I won with a loss of 36.2 pounds in 11 weeks. Was 12.8%. Sure do feel a lot lighter.

 

[PwrCruz]

It has been great so far HeftyLefty. I highly recomend Krav Maga Worldwide on E96th, great instructors, facility, training and fellow student's.
Also if you would like to try it just come on in and you can get a free 3 day pass to see if it is what you are looking for all they make you do is sign a waiver.

OK, guys, you've all impressed me with your weight lose...I gotta get going on that myself...I don't know how much I weigh but last I checked, I could stand to lose 25-30 pounds....just soft in places (softer then a gun girl should be)....

 

[Truckerman79]

I've been out of the gym for about 7 weeks. I've lost about 15lbs in that time. I know a lot of it was water since I stopped taking creatine and I was eating like a horse because my focus was increasing strength.

I've been looking into a 20 rep squat program. It looks agonizing but the results are phenomenal. Basically you take your 10 rep max and gut it out for a set of 20, then do a few assistance exercises. It's the old squats and milk program that bodybuilders did before Arnold and the steroid era. It may be hard to do on a cut, since you really need to eat at a caloric excess in order to keep gaining and recover properly.

3-5 miles daily on the Bowflex Tread Climber...and now that the Doc has figured out my thyroid quit I should be able to regulate with meds and lose some weight.

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

As an update:

I'm now down right around 30lbs since January.

And am wearing size 38 waist shorts/jeans again!!!!!

more to lose...more to lose...

Just so you know, I'm going to be one sexy beast in a few months. Good thing I'm already married. HAHAH!

 

[Jon Craig]

My goal is to get back down to my "adult lowest" weight of around 165 pounds or so. At about 184 right now.

I used to weigh a little over 400 (not a typo) and lost it all down to about 162 or so, but over the winter gained back about 25-30.

5 miles a day on the recumbent bike is all I can muster, but it keeps the cholesterol down and the heart ticking.
