I was busy eating-up all the cookies, and drinking all the beer. Just when I thought i was done, my brother came over with lasagne and cannoli,
which required red wine be consumed. Then I hand-wrote it on a piece of paper and the dog ate it. 😉


Here are my ideas. We all have different goals. Pounds, inches, personally i'd like to be taller. We should also make some "life" improvements that can stick.

From each of you, I need a starting point. It can be a number (like 210 lbs, or 140 inches (total waist, thighs, neck, ass) and a goal (ie 173 lbs., 120 inches)
Or whatever your goal is....
This should include a timeframe. My timeframe is 16 weeks.
WIth any long timeframe, intermediate goals are going to be required. 195lbs by EOW 4, 185 EOW 8, 180 EOW 12, 173 EOW 16.
Also need a plan. No alc in January, Endurance workout 3x week, increasing to 4 after week 8. Light lifting 2x week (arms, chest), and specifically stretch and strengthen my neck,
cause it just feels f'd from falling on it however many years ago that was. Increase intensity slowly (very slowly) over the weeks.
Start eating a healthy breakfast so i'm not starving and binge eating by lunch. Avoid the cake and cookies (i'll ask my wife not to leave cake out)

Some people might not be comfortable with putting down a number - that's fine. I mean @Pearl might have ballooned to 145, and needs to get back to 135.
So he might want to just say that he needs to lose 7% of his body weight - which seems like quite a bit - he could update us in percentages.
Or he could say he wants to lose 10lbs and doesn't give a starting weight, just updates on loss.

Scoring? well it is kinda self-rewarding isn't it?
Give yourself +1 point for everything you do that is in your plan.
Take away 1 point for missing something in your plan
Give yourself 1 point for making an intermediate goal
Give yourself a healthier life for making the final goal - and a few points.

Write your plan down and stick it on the refrigerator. Get buy-in from the people around you.
Find motivation and support wherever possible.

Since I have been awarded the expert level certification at the yo-yo, I can tell you that hanging-in at 90% of plan for 6 weeks will change your body.
At that point, the furnace is primed to make some leaps in fitness. I'd urge you to take a picture on jan 1 (for yourself , cause ain't nobody want to see that)
then look again at 6 weeks. Smile and start thinking about signing up for a race to stay motivated.

Plans can change, goals can change, life happens. Make the detours as short as possible, then jump back on.

Buy yourself a new bike in May as a reward.

I'll consolidate numbers, goals, and track as people update.
No need to double up BIYF posts - just leave a link to the post -
Other stuff - ie hiking, lifting, running, indoor, or not BIYF participant goes in here -
Maybe we'll have a little video summary at the end of the week - we can hire Pig My Pony. 😉

Let me know when the belt makes the next notch. 👍

I need to be 180 ish by late March. Go.
Click to expand...

I’mma gon KIS. 205lb now. Downslope to March 31, with 180 or less being a walkoff grand slam, and 189 or less a 51 yd FG in OT (after both teams have had a chance to possess the ball.)

Ride more, incorporation of BIYF goal of finishing in top 10 and at least 1 hr/ day.

Eat less, especially after dinner late night snacking and especially CHEESE. Better portion control on PASTAs.

Drink less, especially my signature “doubles” erry night.
 
I'm gonna forget all this mumbo-jumbo.
What I will do is keep track of my process here
Being a pro yo yo I have a plan just like past plans.

Jan 1st starts keto/paleo diet with a move into intermediate fast.

Starting at 250# with a realistic goal 230# by March. Eventually see 215# by summer though thats a very real dedication.

If the parameter were amount of dog poop produced in a day this challenge would be mine! OMG! What have I got myself into...should have gotten a sugar glider instead, they're super-duper-cute! But I digress...

Nope, still out. I think I've re-reversed my opinion on challenges. Probably temporarily too, the last two months have been a pressure cooker between deadlines of all sorts, health/family issues and now a freaking sw update that doesn't work...MTBNJ.com has been the only distraction that kept some level of sanity in the mostly empty huge space that is my head (and statement that should give you an idea of how far out I am)...

So how many 16oz curls is 20k lbs in all seriousness how do you measure these
 
I'll weigh myself on Saturday morning and keep that time as my weekly update but I've been right at 200 +/- 2#. My goal is 180 by April 30th. That's around a lb a week. The only reason I'm not going higher on the weight loss rate is that I plan on focusing on strength gains during this time so I don't want to shoot myself in the foot by not getting enough nutrition to support that. I might put up some of the workout numbers to appease the competition, depends on how much I feel like typing. TBH I'm not trying to win anything, I'm just using this as something to keep me in it.
