Also, Kudos to Colby for going down .

Excellent news all. I'm still floating at the 217-218 mark, so I'm happy with that given my somewaht realxed winter hibernation...

I'll try the before and after pictures here...

Wow. You look great!!!

 

[colby]

Thanks It was a lot of work and determination, but well worth it.

Ok,
After last week's level off, I came back with a vengence this week!

Down from 262 lbs (118.84 kgs) to 253 lbs (114.76 kgs)

Down 9 lbs (4.08 kgs) this week, after no loss during the holidays!

Some interesting stats (well, they are to me... so you will have to suffer them :grin: )

My Baseline Metabolic Rate (BMR) - Calories my body burns to sustain vital life functions while awake is 2,105 calories

My Background Activities account for calories I burn performing the activities of a typical day. (Sleep, light seated activity, etc.) is 2,999 calories

Extra activities (walking for excersise, jogging, even driving... I drive a lot for my job) get logged as "logged activities"

Digestion happens 24 hours a day and accounts for 300 calories
----
Put it all together and it looks like this:

Metabolism:
Baseline (BMR): 2,105


Background Activities + Digestion + Logged Activities = Total Calories Burned
2,999 + 300 + XXXX = 3,299 + XXXX

I've been working to get Total Calories Burned up to 4,000 calories per day, or more. The trick is that all Logged Activities take time and calories from Background Activities. So far it's been working well for me , but I have a program that does the math when I enter the info.

Measurements: (This week...)

Neck: -1/2 in

For everyone who is doing well... Keep it up!

For everyone who is really trying, but showing little progress... Keep it up more!

AWwwhhhh.. Now I get it! I know why you picked your screen name!!

I am still at goal +8, which isnt bad considering I have been under the weather, unmotivated, chocolate addicted and not exercising. Next week should be better. One day at a time.


Colby, you look fantastic!!! you ought to post those pics in the before and after thread!! Congrats!

 

[almitywife]

woooowwwww - im still going back and comparing!!!!!! congrats on achieving so much!!!!

and thanks for sharing..... you had been plugging away here on SB Fitness on your own for so long and look at you now!!!!! :wave-smil

 

[colby]

Thanks. I especially like the years younger bit as the picture was taken probably 5-6 years ago and the weight was just there until I got real tired of carrying it around. And it's been over ten months since my first post in here, and I am almost 10lbs past my goal weight! March 02nd will be my anniversary, and it was soooo lonely back then, LOL!

I'm down 3 lbs for the week.

I used a different scale so there may be a calibration difference. We will see next week.

 

[FredT]

Using the high measurement I was at 245.2 this afternoon.
down 8.3 pounds on this challenge.

Roughly 70 pounds to go to goal....
