Biggest loser

Starting weight 216 lbs.
Fighting weight 195 lbs (by 4/1)
This will be achieved by:
  • Weight training 3x week
  • 4 cycle workouts per week - eg. Peloton 2x / outdoor cycle 2x. (Verified on my Strava)
  • No food after 9pm and before 11am (intermittent fasting)
And the hardest one for me…
  • No sweets or dessert for the entire month of January. 😔
Depending on the date, I want to do the Bearscat 50. If I do, my goal will be to finish in under 6:30.

I would like to do this but I purposely gained 20 pounds for ITI. Then I overshot that by 10 pounds. I need to at least loose that 10 pounds so all of the medium layers I own can still be used.

Put me down for 10 pounds before race start 2/28. To get there I'm going to continue doing what I'm doing but with less Calories.

Wow, I read that last night, and I actually decoded it correctly. Nobody tell Max about DoorDash/Grubhub. He doesn't need to know that he can get high and have cheeseburgers magically appear in front of him without having to drive anywhere.
 
Starting weight: 197
Target weight: 180 by Farmers Daughter Gravel Grinder, May 15.
Loose the weight by April 1, then maintain for at least 6 weeks.

Plan:
  • Maintain FTP with weight loss.
  • Use MyFitnessPal and actually list everything, including ice cream and scotch.
  • Dry January - never done this before.

I just read @Patrick training thread, so hopefully I will make him feel better and we can get a rhythm here. After five years of not riding the bike hard, or at all….my other activities have pushed me into the Fatboy Faceoff.

Prior to COVID I had it under control and dropped thirty pounds, but it’s all back. My goal this year will be to concentrate more on myself and not work as much. The Mrs. and I worked heavy hours six days a week for the last two years. I find myself wanting to be outside now and far away from the internet’s (I don’t really count this site as the internet for some reason).

Here we go:
- Start Weight - 226
- Goal - 195
- Start Date: 12/28
- End Date: 4/7 (100 days)

Activities:
- Ride minimum 8hrs a week, posting up in the BIYF thread
- Pilates twice a week (been going since June, finally broke wind uncontrollably in class Tuesday)
- Hike/Walk
- Trail Maintenance
- Wrench/build vehicles

Booze:
- No booze until 4/8 when I am
On vacation…none, dry
- I have done this for the last two years, first three months of the year sober and it is fantastic. No cheats for the last two years

Food:
- Running calories through My Fitness Pal
- Trying to focus on water/food for recovery
- 2lbs per week weight loss
- Hoping for a big first week as I had three Xmas Dinners over the weekend, my family likes to feed me

No race goals, but I would like to work towards the ability to do a back to back century. Seems lofty but I always wanted to try that. Let’s see if I can get back to one gravel century first.

The hardest part for me is saying no to people. Be it customers, family or friends. I tend to be the guy that gets called when people need to blow off steam and take in calories. The hardest part for me is telling people no, but the sobriety thing during the winter the last three years really helps. The long hours over the past two years also have afforded me a heavier hand to say NO!

@patrick….looks like we both have thirty…..similar timelines…..that’s a competition

@stb222 maybe you can do a weekly play by play on the “Fat Boy Faceoff”

My Pilates instructor may be flying a banner plane that states “Don’t Feed John” over NJ soon.

Let’s go Pat!

There is almost no way that play by play doesn’t result with me being banned.
 
Today's accomplishments.

I ate only 1 square of peanut butter baked goods.

Rearranged the gym to make room for squats. I took the leg and bicep thing off to slide it back a foot or so.

Murder Chair Workout. 15 reps x 6.66 sets = 100.

Several sets of unweighted squats to get used to the motion and what will be sore afterwards.

I may be in on this...also crosses over to Dry January thread...but also going to dabble with Noom for their insight/psychology.

Cliffs notes version is dry January coupled with no food after 7 pm. That should cover 90% of intended weight loss, with Noom providing insights for the remaining

Starting solidly in Clydesdale class a 205lbs, but prefer a good fighting weight of 185 for current goals. No need to get back t racing weight of 169lbs of yesteryear...at 6'2"my wife was ready to divorce me...we met when I was 225# +
 
Day three finished yesterday which was the first day I felt hungry going to bed but made it without going over calories. Kind of felt good.

1:50 on the bike and a 45 minute walk with the dog.

Visuals usually help me so I made this dry erase board.

Pilates first thing this morning, yikes.

Really trying to switch out my sugary snacks for shakes and limit sugary stuff to pre-ride.

Weather looks very good for a solid ride today.

New Years with the in-laws. No booze for me and I plan to bring some sort of stick to swat food away. Hoping to get up early am NYD and get a ride in pre rain if at all possible, if not my legs could use the rest!
