Buff, NY Operation: Fighting Shape -- Updates and Support

Loving the warm weather. Managed to get the bike out and drop 8 miles on her. Felt good to be back outside doing something. Hopefully I will get out again tomorrow.

 

That's awesome, Dan!

 

Sadly my gym closed earlier than I thought on Easter Sunday, and I couldn't work in a workout before Easter dinner. BUT tonight I was able to knock off 1312 calories, so my week is off to a great start regardless!

 

Keep it up BP!

I managed to eek out a ride on Friday and Liz and I rode on Saturday. Both the added exercise and strict adherence to our diets, we both lost weight this week. Hopefully I can get back to where I was just two short summers ago.....

 

Hit the gym right after work tonight. Got another 1451 calories taken off. That makes 2763 for the week thus far.

 

I weighed myself this morning, and it appears that I've lost 4 pounds since my show opened in late February. Considering most of the month of March I wasn't terribly active past performing the show, this is excellent!

 

It really sucks taking an extended break from the gym. With things getting as busy as they got last week, I wasn't able to get the gym all week. Finally got to go last night. I'm glad, since I'm taking this as a sign that I'm really starting to enjoy going to the gym.

 

Keep it going BP!

I weighed in on Tuesday and to my shock I lost another 4lbs!
I call it a shock because we all had chinese after Sunday's event and then backed it up with "Low Cal" ice cream. Although I didn't partake in the ice cream.

So with this weeks weightloss I'm sitting at 30lbs total, 15 which I lost in the past 4 weeks!
If I can get back out and exercise and keep up the diet, I may hit my 50lb goal by the Bison's game. I will be darned if some drunk chick calls me chubby again!

 

Hey anyone up for some bike riding to help fight the battle of the bulge and just for the fun of it and good company. Let me know im game for whenever

 

I work out every morning for football, so if you guys want any effective workout ideas and stretches, let me know. Perhaps every week we could set up a running day for all of us to partake in. Just an idea.

 

I haven't been able to go as regularly as I used to, but I'm making it a habit to still go to the gym when I can. Lately I've been listening to some of the SW novels in audio book format while I do some elliptical work. It's a good way to make the 45 minutes or so go by faster.

I also had a small victory yesterday where I was able to fit into a button-down shirt I haven't fit into in about 2 years. Hooray for progress!

 

Great Job Bryan!

 

Running for about a mile or two is probably the best way to lose some poundage. After that, replenish with a lot of liquid and eat a lot of fruits to keep up your fiber intake. And after the gym, drink chocolate milk, it's very good for after a workout because it will give you healthy proteins(if it's low-fat)

 

I'm game, let me know the when and where and I will meet up with you.

 

Looks like another nice day for a bike ride. Im pretty much free all day so just hit me up when available and want to go

 

You busy tomorrow afternoon? I get out at 11 and could run home and get the bike and meet up for a bit.

 

dont have anything planed till 6pm so when ever is good for me

 

This is a great thread. I have lost alot of weight over the last few years and am in the best shape of my life! Keep it up everyone! You are doing great!

 

Stress has really helped me shed some pounds.

 

guys, exercise is great, but portion control is key. You'll lose a lot more poundage by portion control and eliminated processed foods (what i mean is frozen foods, too many snacks, etc.) Fruit is a good thing and so are veggies. But everything can be eaten with moderation. Just remember pportion control. You all know that the inner circle of the plate is how big the portion should be. As Americans we eat far too much. I was watching a program on the BBC and a brit was talking about an American car and stated that there was a lot of leg room for the "big chubby burger-munching Americans".

 

Getting ready to start the Insanity workout with a few friends, and having a prize for one who does the best. Cant wait

 

I heard it was pretty good. It's like a carbon copy of P90X, which is the best workout there.....so I heard.

 

I have not been to the gym in a month- I could use a little motivation right about now...

My diet on vacation was horrible but Oh so good! Now I am back on track with eating clean and healthy. I just have to get back to the gym...

 

I thought I would bump this thread back into life...

 

Moving into my own place has definitely helped my eating habits. They're still not perfect, but vastly improved from before.

I'm able to control the food that's in my house, so I've been able to avoid a lot of temptations that were relatively constant when living with my parents (namely lots of cookies and baked goods).

Since I'm buying much more in the way of groceries now, I'm also watching my portions better and eating takeout a lot less. It's really nice.

Additionally, I've been drinking a lot less soda. What used to be a daily occurrence (or multiple-times-a-day) is now down to only a few times a week. I still have some, but most of it's been the glass-bottled Coke you can get from Wegmans that uses real sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup, so even if it's not a great option, it's better than it could be.
