Building muscle?

Or... sympathy cycle? :11:

LOL... really, though, you're doing a great job. I'd bet it is a gain in muscle mass. If it isn't, then you should drop the extra 4 lbs in no time. Keep up the good work.

GOOD MORNING ALL!

Well I haven't been to this thread for a while - boy I've missed loads. I've laughed out load a few times, with my coworker here looking at me strange...

I guess CoolTech is the [-]loser[/-]winner again, but I presume its the next biggest loser to win the prize?

Well I hit the choclate again - grr... only twin fingered kitkats (107cals) but still something I wasn't eating a month again...need to stop...

I thought I would check in today, as I've been stationary for the last few days, but today I dropped - I'm down to 156.6lbs (Target +6lbs), but only 4.6lbs into this challenge - I have no change of winning but its the taking part right!

Did I tell ya my size 32" jeans are starting to feel loose..

Well I'll check in with everyone on Thursday, loads of diving for me over the next few days (3 days off work woohoo!) doing part one (Assistant Instructor) of the IDC.

(Big group hug - your all doing great! - And welcome to all new arrivals!)

 

[CheddarChick]

Don't worry if you fall off, we will hold the train for you!!! Plateau still holding...Sigh

 

[Scuba_Jenny]

Will weigh in on Thursday. Not impressed lately with the scale. Seem to be plateued also.. for months!!

 

[erparamedic]

Alright, everyone...

I honestly thought that my plateau would NEVER break... but it did! Keep working at it! You'll get past it! Everyone has done soooo good... keep it up! Maybe change up the workout, or tweak the food a bit. When I started doing the workout dvds (Walk Away the Pounds.... Awesome, I might add!), I broke the plateau.

I have faith in ALL of you!

NOTE: I CANNOT WIN THE PRIZE IN THIS CHALLENGE. CONTINUE WORKING ON THIS CHALLENGE. THE PRIZE WILL GO TO THE NEXT BIG LOSER!

That said... Woke up this morning and bang!

For this challenge, I am down 11 lbs. Down from 250 lbs to 239 lbs. Wow! The 240s went quick!

I am now goal +59 lbs!

WTG Cool. Enjoy those weeks when everything seems to work.

I on the other hand started doing cadio every morning, and hitting the gym 2 x week (light weights for toning and range of motion, no heavy lifting). After losing 5 lbs last week, I gained them back over the weekend while on a dive boat. You'd think 8 dives in 2 days, 58 degree water, and swimming around with the sea lions would have burned a bunch of calories. Damn dive boat food!

Yeah... we'll run wit that.. 220 this AM just for giggles to see if it was just water mass from the weekend or what.. bugger it.

I hit the weights a little heavy this morning, screw the cardio, I was a little pissed off and wanted to burn off the irritation. 530+ with the legs again, though with the adrenaline I was almost throwing it off my feet... I had to keep mentally 'cool' to keep the motion smooth. Changed the cycle of the circuit as well so what I normally start with was last in line.
