Snowsurfer Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 6/10/08 : 215 lbs, 19.5% body fat (according to my Tanita scale). At 5'9", according to the BMI scale I'm "obese" :( - I prefer "stocky". Goal : 195 lbs, 15% (or less ?) body fat by Labor Day Methods : more epic (3-6 hr) mountain bike rides on the weekends (if winter ever does end here in the Northwest !); more frequent bike commutes to work (10 miles roundtrip); maintain gym 4-5 times/week; more salads, more lean protein, less carbs (EXCEPT for beer - I live in "Beervana", so that's just not going to happen ).

KingCrimson Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 6 1 and 187, formerly 205. I'm going to ride a single speed 29er as much as possible while school is out.. BMI actually indicates that I'm only a little overweight or just upper normal weight, but I'm at high risk for diabetes and/or insulin resistance. (Thanks Mom) At 14! Damn you Mountain Dew! Oh yeah, and I'm about as busty as most girls my age. :rolleyes: I've been told (actual quote from doc here) to "Get the hell off my ass and do something" I'll get plenty of seated time taking OEC..

Allee Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 So how does this happen - I start training for a sprint triathlon. So I'm swimming, running and biking for between 30 and 60 minutes a day, six days a week, on top of the four days of weight training every morning (this was all I was doing until Feb). I've GAINED five pounds. WTH? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinecure Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I'm 5'10". Last November I was 213 (heaviest ever). I'm now at 178. I skied a lot, worked out at the gym a bit, didn't drink much beer (nor wine), stopped sitting in front of the TV eating junk at night. Also at most I'd have a yogurt for breakfast, often a jamba juice for lunch (Protein Berry Workout with Whey is delicious and a good meal replacement). Then a healthy dinner like a big salad with salmon. I still want to lose another 8-10lbs. I'm aiming to start next season at or below 170. Oh, it didn't hurt that my mother bet me money that I couldn't lose the weight and keep it off. After all, I am coin operated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want my feet to not grow so I can stay at or under 30 mondo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 So how does this happen - I start training for a sprint triathlon. So I'm swimming, running and biking for between 30 and 60 minutes a day, six days a week, on top of the four days of weight training every morning (this was all I was doing until Feb).I've GAINED five pounds. WTH? Yeah, I gained weight last summer when I was training for a double century, but it was all muscle, so I was also getting thinner. (That is, my legs and glutes bulked up a bit, but my gut got smaller and I'm pretty sure I was getting leaner.) I bet you're adding muscle too. I just half-assed my way through a sprint triathlon 2 weekends ago -- my first time. I'm a lousy swimmer, and the swimming leg was tough, not from a conditioning perspective as much as from a "am I going to drown?" perspective. If you don't have experience doing open-water swimming and/or wearing a wetsuit, I would definitely suggest renting a wetsuit and finding a lake a week or two beforehand to get the feel of it.

I've usually been pretty good at maintaining my weight, but I did have a brief encounter with the corn chip diet during grad school, putting on about 10 pounds in 4 months or so. I went to 3 days a week of lifting, and cardio 5 days a week - usually 30-45 minutes of elliptical or cycling. It took forever to get my metabolism jacked up (and this was at 30!), but after 2 months or so, it finally kicked in, and the beer/chips belly melted away. Sounds like you're on the right track. I'd recommend both weight training and cardio if you have time, and I've also used the carrot diet pretty effectively: every time you're hungry, eat a carrot. If you're still hungry after that, have a small meal. I found that carrots are really filling :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a lousy swimmer, and the swimming leg was tough, not from a conditioning perspective as much as from a "am I going to drown?" perspective. OMG, ditto! I had to go right back to the beginning and start swim classes at the "Swimming for Dummies" level. I couldn't even make a 25m length. Now I'm up to drills +14 lengths four weeks later, but the lengths take me half an hour, and I still have another 6 to add to make distance. I think I'm going to drown frequently, so it's jsut as well this thing is in a pool and I can cheat like mad by using the walls and things...

I just want my feet to not grow so I can stay at or under 30 mondo! 2 years ago I weighed 305 due to repeated knee injuries and depression. Pappa Johns pizza and Guiness 3-4 times a week will do that. 2 injury free years later I'm down 50lbs, but most impressive is the fact I can buy clothes at Pac Sun again!!!

pebu Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 I'm actually underweight, but I'm still on a special diet and should be exercising more. I'm sure I'm way more out of shape than most people an equal amount overweight. I used to stick with it, but I need to get a little more cardio in and alot more weight training in.
