I ready to stop feeling like crap and start feeling good about myself again.

Phil

welcome phil of course you can join, you look familiar, just like this guy who was on a weight loss reality show, do we have a celeb in the camp?? i cant remember the name of the show right now, but it'll come to me


as for me the eats are doing great , i was a little down on the scale this morning , should be a good weigh in for me tomorrow, last nite the wife and i did our p90 cardio workout with the abs, they really suck, but do seem to be working, and i jumped on the bike for a 1/2 hour after just to get a little bonus, its a day off from p90,. but i may ride the bike when i get home,

i wanted to ask a question if i havent already, this is gonna sound weird probably but when i exercise (cardio) i sometimes feel like im gonna vomit, now ive tried to make a point of not eating anywhere before i do, like i find when i first wake up is the best time to go for a run - no cramps, no vomit feeling, i havent actually blown chunks yet, but i feel it wanting to come out, i googled it and it says it can happen if you work out too strenuously, i dont think this is my problem, could just be not waiting long enough after eating i think


and sorry if any ladies come in here today, just wanted to ask this

That made me laugh. Sorry, I don't know what could be causing that to happen.

Well, I am having a crappy week. I have been exercising, but my diet stinks. Monday weigh in is going to be ugly for me.

Welcome Phil.

[warriorscholar]

Ken: I've only had that problem when I really push it. And it sounds like the p90 is pretty intense. I know that on nights I go to Tae Soo Do I don't eat for a good two hours before hand. Otherwise it kills me.

Hope every one is enjoying the weekend. It looks like we're actually getting some spring weather here in Wisconsin, So I'm going to go get in a little Frisbee Golf.

Cheers,

No celeb here. Not even close.

It's been a busy day for me. I went out to try to find turkey this morning. My season opens on Wednesday. I just might have to take some time off of work. I got home and started to scrap my 81 Bronco. I've got the carb, intake and tires sold. Now I have to sell the rest of it.

warriorscholar...Thanks for the welcome. 20 given!

Not quite so Big D...Thanks. Smoked pork shoulder sounds good!

oobatooba...Thanks. Hope the rest of your weekend is better. Weekends suck for me too, eating wise that is.

I'm headed back outside! The temp is pushing 70* here today and the sun is shining. Sure beats overcast and rain!

April
7 158.4
14 158.8
21 154.8 - yep a 4 lb loss since last monday, awesome thing is i feel it completely!!! now i thought id have a loss last week, so some of this must be left over from last week

well theres no way i can lose 10 for the months challenge, but i am completely happy with this, so if i ,keep this off , in my mind i havent lost the challenge

also, im moving my upper limit from 160 to maintain at under 155, its a bold move for me since the lowest i have ever , ever seen on a scale is around 154, maybe 153, but im gonna do it!!

i see a leaner summer for me

check in later , good luck at the weigh in guys!

[oobatooba]

Awesome job Freddie and Ken. Keep up the good work.

[Colo Alex]

Hey guys,

No loss this week for me. It's time to go back to the very basics.

[warriorscholar]

04/14: 312
04/21: 311
-1

I'm down 7 for the month. Thats pretty cool. I think I'm going to hit the 10 mark with ease.

Looks like it was a good week for Camp Charlie.

Cheers,

[Not quite so Big D]

1/1/08 - 219.6
4/1/08 - 208.4
4/7/08 - 209.5
4/14/08 - 206.2
4/21/08 - 205
Highest ever - 265
VFZ - 186 (4/05)

A good week for me. I hit 204 Saturday morning, but it didn't hold. It's not looking good for 10 lbs this month, but I can't ask for much more than a pound a week at this stage.

Good work ot the big losers, Adam, Ken, and Freddie.

Ooba, even though you had a "bad" week you still dropped 1.5 lbs. Almost half way to goal!

[todunlop]

Hey there fellow Campers,

Well nothing lost here,
4/17/08-203
4/21/08-203.2
actually a .2 gain and I took some measurements to see if there was any change there and there is a slight change. Chest from 42.75" to 43.5" gut stayed the same @ 40.5" and my quads went from 24" to 24.25" So things are changing just not as fast as I would like. I should have stayed away from the beer this weekend but there were steamers and mussels that needed to be consumed and well I can't have one without the other.

Great job Freddie excellent job.

Ken you is going to be buffed by summer time.

oobatoba, Adam and big D great job on the losses keep it up.

Alex we need to get our asses in gear.

Phill welcome to camp. Post often to keep yourself accountable. Don't forget to pass the turkey after you bag some.

No way man! Grilled wild turkey breast is some good eatin'! It makes getting up at 4 in the morning to chase the stinking things worth it. Oh man do the stink! Thanks for the welcome.

[fatfreddie]

Welcome Phil!!!
Yeah, I bagged a turkey once... when I worked in a grocery store lol

[CTIgrad]

1-20-2008: 315
4-14-2008: 256
4-21-2008:250
VFZ: 253

This week loss: -6
Total Loss: 65lbs
Average lbs lost per day: .71 (65lbs/92days)


I really have no idea why or how, especially considering this week.....

It was my friends 21st, I ate 1/2 a medium pizza, I had ice cream floats, and due to a horrible muscle spasm, I didn't go to the gym all week. By all regards, I should have gained 10lbs.

However on the bright side I did lose 6 pounds, I now am into my VFZ, and am over half way to my final goal. Add to that, crossing the 251 mark means I hit the 10lb April challenge, as it looks like if I can drop 1 pound in the next week, I'll have met my own goal of under 250 by my birthday.

Good job guys on all the losses, some impressive stuff going on in here!

[2000harley]

Harley Checking in.

Monday Weigh in.

I had an early morning flight to Washington D.C. today and now I am in Ocean City, MD for the night. It's going to be a long week.
.5 lost this week wasn't what I was hopeing for, but I guess I will take it. I am almost to my VFZ, so I suppose it will get tougher.

Take Care guys...I will check in from Virginia Beach tomorrow night.

What does VFZ stand for?

[oobatooba]

I am not really sure exactly what it means, but I have heard it is an acronym for the lowest weight you were able to achieve in the past. So, if you get below your VFZ, you will be the lowest you ever weighed as an adult. I'm not 100% sure though.

[wall]

totally forgot to weigh in this morning at home damnit...
but i think i had a rather successful weekend controling the intake so i'm hoping for not much of a change since Friday

lots of good comments from folks that hadnt seen me in awhile and I enjoyed swimming daily. sorry though, no speedo shots

congrats to all you losers yesterday

[Colo Alex]

Hey Guys,
I'm back on induction for a while. I need to get going in the right direction again.

VFZ was coined by Randy it stands for Virgin Fat Zone. At that point you are no longer losing weight you have lost and gained before.

Great days everyone!

[Not quite so Big D]

VFZ is virgin fat zone. It's the point where you get to the fat you've never lost before. Most of us have lost and gained and lost and gained, so the VFZ is the lowest we've gotten on the rollercoaster.

I'm still on track with another small loss on the scale for me.

[todunlop]

Afternoon Everyone,

Not much happening here. I did finish the belly off program and will continue to do some kind of work out. Today I'm hitting the road and will run for 3 mi..

hey wall dont get too excited, those commercials were the ones that got me interested, but im only doing the P90, its the one before the P90X commercials yer seeing, i hear the P90X is insane, the wife and i are going to do this one for a bit more then theres 2 other dvd's that have more accelerated workouts of the P90 program

confused yet, i had to read it back twice!


as for me, did another Sweat/Abs day of P90, we are going to include the Abs one in each day instead of every other one, i can feel something under my flab happening so thats got me pumped, did day 1 of week 6 of c25k tonite, then for the cool down i went for a bike ride with my daughter, first time we ever rode bikes together, for sure do some more of that!

weighed in up a couple ticks today, but i did have some a chicken sandwich last nite for dinner with a regular high carb bun, after that i decided to jump another 40 mins on the bike to minimize side effects.

got 2 working days ahead of me then i took a week off for no other reason than to use up my holidays, not sure what ill be doing, getting back to the reno's i assume, just finished packing my lunch for tomorrow, so the eats will be good

Mack, good to see you back around these parts!!!

[warriorscholar]

Hey guys,

Yo Mack, Good to hear from you man. How's the book coming?

Still doing good here. Loving the weather lately. I got out to the park with some friends. We grilled out steak and bratwurst. Then we played some b-ball. it was a good time. I can't wait to get in some volleyball.

Cheers,

[shiNer45]

weighed in on track, gotta goto work in 2 hrs so the wife and i are gonna do the exercise in a couple of minutes, get it outta the way, eats are planned to be great today, little bit of low carb pasta/meatsauce and the regular fare

keepin it short today
