NEW YEARS RESOLUTION WEIGHT LOSS THREAD 2012

[SteveRS]

Im pleased to report that I am making solid progress.. ive gone from 197 to 177!!! almost hit 176.. im going to keep at it!! ive got 8 lbs to lose to get to my goal to be within army standard then another 15 left till my personal goal.. soo bout 25 more lbs and ill be satisfied with life

[USARCPT]

It's amazing how I now work out twice as much as I did 20 years ago, yet get half the results as I got 20 years ago. I mean to have a talk with Father Time at some point.

It's a hard world in which to lose weight these days; my sincere admiration to those who fight the good fight to lose weight because they simply want to make life better! (Better being loosely defined, as a world without bacon isn't necessarily better in my book....ha.)

Im only 25 but I cant stand being out of tolerance with Army standards.. i was awesome after deployment.. but then just stopped caring after good food came... and before i knew it.. i gained 30 lbs..

Yeah, no excuses around here!

I just had my cheat meal plus some. A visit to my mother-in-law's house will do that. Southern fried chicken, but the rest of the meal, not bad, 3 different salads, corn on the cob & bread. But then came dessert, Cherries Jubilee, Yum. Nothing else for me today, then back on track tomorrow. I don't feel too bad though. I have really lost some inches this last couple of weeks. Not finished yet though. Tomorrow Zumba!

the machine is canted at an angle and my feet were planted ill have to look for a pic of the mahine.

I've never used a squat machine, I squat with free weights, but from the looks of that the angle pretty much forces you to push through your heels which also may account for why you feel it in your calves.

Got me a hiking helper, currently burrowed in my bed. Fostering to adopt, so far so good! So well behaved! Dublin loves everyone.

Cutting diet started today. I found last spring that carb pulsing worked best for me. I'll eat around 100 - 125 carbs per day on workout days, and less than 50 carbs per day on non work out days. Protein will get bumped up to about 200gr per day for starters, and as I near my goal I'll cut the workout day carbs a bit more and replace those calories with a bit more protein.

2/27/12 - 161 pounds and 9.8% body fat (goal will be 6-7% without losing much strength)
