I am going to back out - I don't need to loose weight I need to bulk up. I am too close to what my ideal weight is to do a diet contest that is weight based.

You have my blessing and (tentatively) that of the AR15.com store for a prize or two.

While I like watching the threads you can see some tried and lost a little but it was really not all that much. Then they probably stopped. Long term, gotta think long term. Once you hit 6 months it should be more permanent than temporary. |

as I said in the other thread, I'm in but only for accountability. I need to know that someone else will know if I succeed or fail. I don't care what the time frame is, as I have monthly goals... |

Ain't no rest for the wicked. I'm down.  I just don't know how to quantify my goal other than more muscle. Weight wise I'm actually pretty happy so if I can subsitute fat for muscle and perhaps add a little more, that'd be nice.
The shitty part is figuring out HOW with my job. I'm on the road all the time and these fucking hotels don't have shit for equipment. |

Well, considering I started towards the end of November, that probably leaves me out. I'll from this point I guess, but I've only got 10 more pounds to hit my goal. I'm still pre-abs showing, so could probably make myself look fat still for the before pic.

So we're in agreement that a "body transformation" contest with contestant-defined goals & independent judging is a better option for most?

no excuses. find a "stepping stone" goal and use this to reach it. then reach the next stepping stone with the following three months. do it.

Add me in. I quit nicotine last year in march and have been very happy. This year is weight loss, weighed this morning and was 310. By end of July I want to be at 270 or lower. End goal (regardless of time) is 215.

Would anyone be opposed to a "buy in/entry fee" of a care package for Team Ranstad?
1. Your care package goes straight to a soldier that needs it. 2. It gives you a vested interest besides the prizes. 3. Why not? Thoughts? Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
