Weigh-Ins for the signs101 Losers (the good kind!)

[omgsideburns]

Yay good news from everyone! Thought this thread needed to be bumped. It's a motivator.

Updated "during" picture. I still have 40lbs to go, but I feel like a new man with a new outlook on life. First pic was summer of 2010 at my top weight of close to 320 lbs. The "during" pic was taken 2 weeks ago while on my cruise. I call it a "during" pic because the after pic won't be till I reach my goal weight of 180lbs.

funny thing is that with just a head shot, you wouldn't think the weight loss would be so dramatic Tim, but you've lost a hole lot of head! your hats must fall off now! you are looking good and it sounds like you are feeling good too!

 

[omgsideburns]

haha I didn't think head size changed much either until I put on a hat the other day and had to bring it in a couple clicks.

edit: I bruised my toenail running last night.. weird. that's what I get for doing double my usual mileage on a day that's usually a rest day. Burned 1000 calories though.

My FitnessPal

Not sure if anyone else is using this, but I started using my fitness pal on my phone and it has helped me lose 14 pounds in the last month or so, since I have been using it, pretty cool

 

[omgsideburns]

Cool! I used the live strong app to monitor food and stuff when I first got started a few years ago, but now I use the mapmyrun/mapmyride app because I'm just keeping track of my physical activity so I can set new performance goals.

Keeping track of your daily diet and exercise can be an eye opener for some people.

I'm still holding at 148 but I really need to get firmed up.
I want to weight 130# by my 50th birthday (three days after my son's wedding) so I better get cracking.
While working at the deli makes me burn a lot of calories, I am getting SO stiff from the 7 hours I stand 4 days a week. And I am totally unmotivated to walk the way I used to do on an almost daily basis.

 

[omgsideburns]

ladies watch out..

edit: I'm down in the 170s now. Still have a gut but that will take a while to go away. I had to go shopping because I only had one pair of shorts that fit me and I was running out of shirts I liked too.

 

[omgsideburns]

I think I have won this whole deal. Look at the pics. Red shirt is me at 349lbs and today at 176lbs in the black shirt. I WIN

holy crap man, good for you! was a shade under 300 when I started all this but wow you're half the man you used to be.

fun, isn't it! I put on some summer capris this morning thinking they would fit and was so happy when they were way too big. I'm loving it it even if it does require a whole new wardrobe. I'm down 8 sizes from where I started at and almost 9 sizes as the next size down if fitting pretty good now.

 

[omgsideburns]

Yeah I'm in 31's from 40s. Stoked on that. Some of my shirts are smalls, most are medium "slims". All the shorts I bought last year are 34/35s so although I could wear them I have to pull them up past my belly button and when I cinch my belt down they look pleated.. Only problem is I don't like cheap clothes so losing weight is free, but all the new clothes I need isn't.

Ran 8.5 miles on Saturday. Felt good until I bonked out (didn't eat much for lunch) and had to walk back to my car from about a mile away.

finally got a pix of the almost all new me (still have some pounds left to get rid of)

 

[Jillbeans]

standing next to a really big Canadian helps me look smaller, does that count?

 

[sar bossier]

WOW, Marlene!! BIG CONGRATS!!! Never saw you "before" but you look AMAZING now, girl!

thanks. I don't have any before photos as I really hate having my pix taken but I now wish I had some. just imagine 88 pounds added to the one I posted and that was me last year.
