BOOT CAMP CHARLIE ***FALL*** EDITION

[Colo Alex]

Boot Camp Charlie was established as an alternative to the estrogen-charged threads. It is a place for men to share their health, weight-loss, and life successes and failures.

Men only.

Women are encouraged to visit on Sunday’s or when Sarge deems it necessary.

We weigh-in every Monday.

On the first of every month we report our Current weight, Total’s for the month, and Totals from our highest weight.

No emoticons.

We try to keep the banter encouraging but if you go astray be ready for a boot to the backside.

We follow many different weight-loss plans and/or styles. Exercise is a key part of all of them. Get off your butt and move!

We are here to pick each other up when we fall and to enlighten each other with what is working for each of us individually. We each have goals and when one of us makes a goal, we all make the goal together.

All right men, let’s get to work!

[Colo Alex]

Alright, here we go.

Horrible week. 5 days at the parents and two more on the road took its toll on me. No excuses however!! I allowed myself to eat some pretty questionable things and quantities. I’m back on track today and hope to have the excess water, salt and junk out of my system ASAP.

Great days everyone!

Just joined a real gym yesterday as well. looking forward to using it tonight

Have a great day everyone

Didn't weigh last week.

Grp, I know what you are saying, I keep yo-yo-ing.

I'm giving myself till the 11th to get under that 200 mark. Don't think I mentioned that is the date scheduled for my shoulder surgery and it sure would be nice to be in onderland before then.

Lets get it done guys

Screwed up this weekend, no excuses.

9/24--238

10/01--238

[currdog]

I need to do a search and find my monthly totals, but need to get subscribed to this thread. 213.5 this morning, then went and dropped off a few dictionaries at the library, so i probably missed out on .5-1 lbs of goodness. All the more reason to hit it harder this week, i WILL see <210 by this time next monday.

[epix]

All time high- 426
weight as of 1/1/2007 - 280
July 1st - 302
current weight - 290

Found my better scale, so using that.. other scale said I was 285, this one says 290 so I'll go by that, which means no weight lost at all last week, just stayed steady. Gonna keep my portion size lower since that is usually my problem.. Was away from home most of the weekend so I ate out, including fast food (no cheats), but that probably helped to stall my progress.

Breakfast was a protein shake, lunch will be a LC Protein bar. Dinner most likely a LC Tortilla with cheese/pizza sauce.

grp - nice work man, 10lbs in one week, sweet!

Gain in august/september: 20.6 lbs (196.0 on 7/30/07)
VFZ: 186.2 (July 2005)

Another bad weekend which followed a poor week. I've now been off plan for the better part of 7 weeks. I finally decided I needed to weigh in to give some incentive. It is ugly. What took me 6 months to lose is back in only 7 weeks. I've got some serious work to get back to onederland.

[shiNer45]

Something is really going wrong here. Now is the time to take a stand and reverse this self destruction. I must exercise and eat right. Now.

Lord help us all,

[grpsurfer]

Men!!!

Hang tough. Get strict with/for yourself and the pounds will drop. I have to remind myself everyday of this fact.

I am up a pound and change this morning but most likely due to a late (9PM)dinner. Eating has been clean though and the calories are within my goal range.

Put a deposit on a lasik surgery last night and did not go to the gym as planned.

Got a train to catch - jury duty in Manhatten today. They pay 40 bucks too!!

D - just jump back on- most of the weight will melt away quickly

Have a great day everyone

[Doug_H]

I'm gonna make it this time

Down 1 to 205 with 4 to go.

Lets kick ass guys, you know you can do it because most of us have already done it a time or two.

Doug

[Colo Alex]

Good morning guys.

Well, September might of kick our butts a little but we will fight back in October. I know for me it was just the last week. But that is all it takes. One week to wipe out all the losses of the previous 3 ½!!

Ok, moving on. I’m down one this morning so that is a positive step.

Keep fighting guys!

Hey guys,

I should know better than to post an official weight after a fifty hour day. Come to think of it, I should know better than to stay awake for 50 hours at a go. Here are my new official stats.

[stargrabber]

/sneaks into camp charlie late but shouts:

Focus gentlemen! You can do this ....work the plan.

/runs out before Sarge catches her.

[2000harley]

Hello Camp!
Some of you may remember me from way back when (Mack probably does). I'm back and ready to get back on track. I lost focus for a while and a lot of the weight has crept back, but I am ready to get it gone again.

Stats:
All time high = 302
Lowest = 242 (summer of '06 I believe)
10/1/07 = 281
goal = 215

I travel quite a bit, but I am going to try and be a regular poster in Camp!

Harley Out!

[Doug_H]

Harley, welcome back.

Lets just get it done, you know the routine.

Doug

[currdog]

212.5 today, a new low. left my lunch pail at the office yesterday, too busy to dine out, the in house option is pizza. Mylunch consisted of a bag of peanuts from the vending machine. I won't give in to temptation.
failure is not an option.

[todunlop]

Afternoon Campers,

Well my well is well and alls well. What the hell. Alright this is going to be my month I can feel it. I'm committing to get over the fence once and for all this month no more excuses.

Harely glad you found camp again welcome back.

Lets go people lets get er done (me included). Ed out

[Not quite so Big D]

Welcome back Harley! Most of us are retreads of the weight loss world, so hop back on the roller coaster.

213.1 today, so 3.5 lbs gone, already! My wife is being very supportive right now, so the fridge and freezer look very carnivorous with a variety of veggies and dairy sprinkled in.

hey grp,. not sure if i mentioned this before, i had Lasik done back in 2002, best thing i ever did, i still have 20/15 vision today,

what does Lasik cost down where u are? the place i got it at was just under $2500 ,. but now its more around $1000 (both eyes), some places were as high as $5000+ when i got it done, funny, they all used the same few machines made by the same few companies, but the prices are all over the map

anyhow, checkin in, 2nd day of dayshift almost over, getting ready to go home, was down on the scale today a bit today, which is great, ate pretty good today, had a small carb snack, but didnt go overboard which is the main thing for me,

ill check in tomorrow,

[epix]

Today went really well.. Had left over stir fry for late breakfast, protein bar for lunch, and another for dinner.. portions were easy that way. Topped off the night with an A on my physics test!

Bought a few new shirts tonight that are a bit too small for me to help motivate me to lose some darn weight.

Also a little update on my engine..
I took my parts to the machine shop yesterday and they looked everything over.
Basically here is the damage done:
Block - Needs to be honed, thus need new piston rings
Crank - Bent.. I need a new crank
Rods - Eagle H-Beam Rods need to be replaced
Main Caps - 2 Center Main caps were damaged so I need to replace them
Bearings - pretty much all toasted so need to be replaced
Oil Pump - of course needs to be replaced

Good news is I should have everything back together by the end of this month.

I'll weigh in on monday.

[grpsurfer]

Time to get up!

Was in court most of yesterday morning for jury duty. The commute reminded me of how much I hated working in the city - two trains and a subway to get in. Two cool things happened yesterday though

1) Isahia Thomas verdict was delivered in the same building. Tons of press in front of the building. I was able to stand right in front to see him come out and deliver his statement. I was about 7-10 feet away. I waited about 5 minutes and it was interesting to hear how the press phones were ringing for location reports and how they were all jockeying for position. I got some cell phone pics and I can update a couple if anyone is interested.

2) For the first time in a long time, I walked all over in Lower Manhatten - Tribeca, Little Italy, China town, etc. Its been years since I explored down there.

The lasik and practice I am going with is 2k per eye but I think I am in an area that is typically more expensive for just about any procedure. I am looking forward to losing the glasses - people tell me I look 10 years younger without them. Between that and my weight loss I might look 8 years old when done!! ha ha

Have a great day everyone

[Doug_H]

Morning guys

Are we on a roll or what.

Down another lb this morning. I would be more excited if I hadn't lost this same lb at least a half dozen times.

Lets get er done men

Doug

[Colo Alex]

Hey guys.

No drop today. Not losing fast enough! I’m ready for a big drop. I’ll be patient. I got in a good hike Monday and Tuesday and I’ve been eating on plan so it will catch up to me if I stay on plan.

Keep up the fight guys.
