The A2K (virtual) Weight Loss Club !!

Don't exercise and don't eat well, then. I shall still try though. I feel somehow better when I'm healthy. Though it is entertaining to have people around who huff after a flight of stairs and who cannot bend to tie their shoe-laces. So nothing against bad bio-administration for others!

Yesterday at my daughter's soccer games (two) I walked the 440 track, even jogged a bit (very rare for me). Figure I went about four miles over the three hours or so we were there. There was lots of starting and stopping to watch.'

Her team stunk.

Algis.Kemezys--

We'll die healthy--later.

So the month of April, the first month where we inspired each other to pursue a fitter body and mind, is coming to a close. And as per my original post, it is time to decide a winner.

So pls post a summary of yr progress on this thread so that I can judge who amongst us can be a poster boy/girl for the A2K weight loss club !!!

yesterday's session:-

30 mins weights
3 mile on random hill program on treadmill-it hurt


Today:-

7am swim for 30 mins-wonderful
20 mins weights
5000m in 20 mins 14 secs-best to date-very tough

Thats it

Weight start of month 230 lbs
Weight today 226 lbs-rubbis effors but I do feel quite toned up and beginning to develop a 2 pack, which hopefully will grow to a 6 pack ! Also found the swimming much easier due to the stronger arm muscles

bravo, hiama. remember, muscles weigh much more than muscles. so you have probably exchanched 20 pounds of fat for some 14 pounds of muscle. That's how I look at things. I lost 3 pounds from last week- must be the new house, I spent all of yesterday there too. From 11am until 9pm. Chopping wood, painting, cleaning up a garage roof (4 huge bags of leaves and trash), planting... I am sore yet again all over! Taking a break today.

brava yourself dags- well done - can't wait for an invite to the house warming

umm, i meant to say muscles weigh more than fat, of course. not more than muscles. grrr, noon and i am tired already. the house will never be fineshed, darn it!!! but i will move in at the end of may, no matter want, so you should all come! i will have home grown tomatoes to serve!

I'm out of the running for April--but mark me down for the May competition. Hope springs eternal.

And spring onions taste lovely with cheese in a nice crispy roll or bagel -yum yum

Do you think I'd be sexier in Green like Gautam ?

AK, not as sexy as me :lol;

My stats

Waist - still 32''
Chest - still 40''
Weight 68.5 Kgs - I lost some weight, but I guess that was more due to not being able to eat anything during the tooth crisis than excercising !!

Cmon guys, let us know yr progress, so I can declare a winner !!!

Hiamas final Month 1-April-stats

start weight 230 lbs- weight this morning 225 lbs after my 7 am swim-twice in 2 days

Chest 43 " was 42 "

Waist 38 " was 39"

Today's session will be stretching then 40 mins on treadmill at 7.1 mph with a sprint to hopefully post my best time for 4 miles which is currently 33 mins 33 secs

go hiama go! am going jogging myself, although it's raining outside.
now what i wanna know is, why do you, gautam, want to lose weight? 68 kg is not too much for a guy. what is your height? if you want to get in shape, that's another thing, but it does not seem to me like you need a whole lot of dieting. a man should stay manly, not become some scrawny little thing! but i will support anyone in exercising efforts. or dating efforts, for that matter. you show them, gautam!

dag dahling, being only 5'7'' (good things come in small packages, although I can think of one exception right away ) my ideal weight would be arnd the 64 kgs mark. Did u see my pics on A2K meet thread ? I am positively chubby !!!!

Anyways, as I had mentioned before - there was a prize for the most dedicated and successful dieter for the first two months for our virtual weight loss club !!!

And the winner is <roll the drums, blow the trumpet>.........

HIAMA !!!!

Well done mate, u are a source of inspiration to all of us !!!

A gift certificate of $25 from amazon.com (or GBP equivalent from amazon.co.uk) will be on yr way as soon as u send me yr email address !!!

The competetion for next month is now open !!!

Okay.

for May
weight 238.4
Year end goal is 175

I should admit here that I am an expert at losing these particular pounds having done so at least six or seven times in the past.

waist 42 (at least that's what the label on the jeans says.)

Gautam,

Pm'ing my e mail address-$ no good however got to be £ as a fellow Brit you ought to know better

Tomorrow's session will be a bit different:-

Aiming for 30 mins weights
Just 2500m rower
4 miles treadmill

I found 5000m rower + treadmill a bit much

Joe Nation, you're around my weight buddy we can do this thing-I lost 5 lbs last month most of it towards the end, the biggest benefit has been the firming up and the great support from the guys and guyesses here.

Personally I think Dags and Slappy doo should win the prize, Slappy has only missed one session if I've read his comments right and Dags just does so much she must be wonderwoman for the re-make when they get round to it.

Lets keep fighting the good fight-fight the flab !!

wow, Gautam is doling out cash prizes!

Cash prizes?

That's it...I'm going on steroids.

By the way, congrats hiama...keep it up!
