Thread: Here we go . . .again

Started 2 months, 2 weeks ago by BigDog
I haven't been here in a while, though I had great success with help from this site about 3-4 years ago. I went from 250lbs to 197 (which was my lowest weight in about 17 or 18 years at that time). In the 3 years since, I've picked up a few pounds. Current: 6'2 3/4". 39 y/o male. Approximately 225 lbs - I have yet to get on a scale for this particular version of the endeavor, ...

Good luck....keep us posted . I'm also cutting right now. From 250lbs I am 242.2lbs. Started around 41 days ago. My goal is 10%. Leanest I have been was 13%. I have an OMRON monitor, the type that measures your bf% while you hold on to this formula 1 steering wheel type device. It's not to reliable, as it gives you 5% increase from day to day What a waste of $$$$$$$$...

First off, Congratulations on the initial cut 3-4 years ago! This site has always been an inspiration to me as well. I've personally noticed that cutting my alcohol consumption has increased my energy and ability to lose weight, I could be better, still have around 2-3 drinks a week but...it's difficult to get rid of it 100% Good luck on your new cutting journey, and looking...

YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Margharita, cocktails, etc.........SO MANY HIDDEN, not to mention empty cals. You're better off without it. Maybe as a cheat with a cheat meal. I don't know if it's true or not, but rumor is that alcohol increases cortisol, and increases estrogen. I think that's just bs ...ppl telling you that so you can't have your fun. I never got ...

Thanks for the replies - it's good to have people to relate to. I tend to think that a combination of the scale; the mirror; and my clothes gives me a pretty good sense of how I'm doing in terms of getting leaner. But the intensity of my workouts tells me more about my fitness levels. It's funny, because I can't figure out how to write that I like glass of wine or a beer or ...

Wow- lifting for the second day in a row. . . I'm sore. I'm tired. I've lost some of the max strength that I had a few weeks ago. And I'm feeling very invigorated. Christmas schedule aside (not as simple as it sounds. ever.) I'm looking forward to getting more variety into the workouts than rowing, and to getting stronger and more flexible at the same time (yes - it happens, if you pay attention to range of motion...

Do the times matter for the challenge or are you just personnally disappointed in them?
