Everyone should have received their weigh-in link now. If you haven't PM me please and I will get you sorted out.

Likewise, if there are any errors in yours please give it a day or two before messaging. Once everyone has logged some data I will go in and de-bug, double check for errors etc.

For my bounty, I'll be putting up a little something - but it's a secret project for now

Dammit. I sent you a PM, then saw this post. Sorry!

 

[BarrieJ3]

First day of doing it, no food til noon, veggies and soup. Finish watching kids and five hour development call to go run and.....this.

I guess pushups and squats and BS today. We better get in our house soon or I’m gonna lose my sample set!

I will get you setup tomorrow morning - you can add weights for past days no problem.

Rain stopped! It wasn’t fast, it wasn’t pretty, but it counted.

I’m not gonna post too much personally outside of group reporting updates for awhile and let folks trickle in here to share their piece, but know that I’m out here with you in spirit! Get after it!

First day journaling with MFP.

Kind of want to keto but kind of don't, so I'm half-assing it: no junk carbs, strict journaling to stay under a daily caloric target, and 16/8 intermittent fasting.

After a couple of weeks, if I feel like I can't maintain or I'm not seeing the loss I want to see...

Same. I’m going easy on the diet restrictions, hoping just portion control gets me where I wanna be

 

[liftapint]

Day 1 will consist of no beer. Because there is none in the house. And I walked the dogs.
Hey, it's better than nothing!! Baby steps.

 

[ReallyGoodUsername]

Cloud eggs for breakfast, banana strawberry smooth for lunch, salad w/chicken for dinner, two 30 min walks around the Charlestown hills. Easy going for Day 1

Same here! Just got home after a few weeks away and no beer in the house! No dog walk though so you’re one up on me!

I’ll start hard tomorrow. I’ll be building back to my pre-Covid workouts. I’ve been big into Adventure Racing in the last several years (anyone catch Eco Challenge on Prime?...that just shorter). When you’re training to go hours and hours moving without sleep, it’s all about BBQ style...low and slow! So pretty different than a lot of the other workouts discussed already but typically pretty great for weight loss!

Good luck everyone...let the games begin!

Cloud eggs

Wtf is this

 

[Big Jilm]

After 4 days laid up with the back injury, I feel GOOD. Biked 3 miles today and feel like I am ready to run again....however, I will be cautious.

 

[dmoney]

It’s nothing special, but I’ve used this 10-minute stretching video a few times already just to get a little more movement throughout the day.

 

[Natskule]

Good or bad it was 8 lbs more than I guessed.

No pics of item I'm putting up yet, as it's still in the mail.

 

[ekricket]

My back is broken in 2 places Mike, personally I am one for the lean club rather than muscle building. This is about circa 2010

Even 30 - 40 pounds off of that would be huge for me!! BTW day 3 of oatmeal breakfast!! Lol good thing I love oat meal!

Power cord finally made it for the ole exercise bike gents!! Time to get to it!! Tomorrow is here now!!

You could shave and lose 10 lbs! And another 10 pounds if you shaved your beard.

 

[markleteenie]

Just dropped in to say "Good luck!" I'm working on strength gains and not focused on dieting per se.

My goals are eating cleaner and moving weights. But I respect those that are hustling the weight loss!

The long hair is gone brother! Only the Beard remains... it gets hot on the ole exercise bike but its here to stay!

Btw My ass is seriously out of shape... came up last night after the bike covered in sweat, bout to fall over... brie was like that was quick!! Damn it I burnt 170 cals and 20 minutes... I about died... gotta work it back up!!

For the record... one quick workout. Today I have energy, I woke right up and didn't even need my coffee (drank it anyways, but I drink black coffee) this is long overdue but already looking forward to it!!

+1 we need a thread for the lifters

Here is my donation to the winner. Not sure if the rules said chips only but I seem to recall seeing something about ~$20 of value.
Cartamundi, Modiano, and Gemaco.

To make cloud eggs, you separate the eggs, beat the whites, optionally add cheese, make little cloud shapes and bake in the oven, take them out and add the yolks to the center, bake a bit more, then eat.

They sound good but also sound like way too much work. I can pan fry eggs in 1/3 the time.

Yeah I was wondering that myself while reading... sounds interesting but seems like alot of effort. And if you dont want to dirty a pan, they cook even more quickly in the microwave

Just got the steroid shot in my foot. It hurt.

 

[FordPickup92]

Hope it starts feeling better!

Been there too. Short term sucks but it will help pretty quickly.

Re: Bounties.... Is there a recommended $ amount? I know some are clearly going over, but is there a guideline?

 

[FordPickup92]

Re: Bounties.... Is there a recommended $ amount? I know some are clearly going over, but is there a guideline?

I think we decided $20 ish?

I’ve shared with everyone around a min $20 item(s).

We have some folks who obviously can’t win and are just toning up, and I recommended something smaller if they still wanted to do the challenge part.

For others it’s up to them. Lol I don’t have the best self control, so I didn’t give up my number one dream item, but incentive is good so I put up a rather costly one I’d rather not lose. YMMV

 

[JeepologyOffroad]

Desjgn setup is my ante. I know I can’t win so I’m switching it up. If I don’t lose 10 lbs then everyone gets a desjgn setup on me

 

[arch3r]

My daily workout. 7 minute abs baby.
