80 lbs

[operaBaritone]

Hi guys and gals,

This is a NON-NUDE Thread, however, because of this, I don't feel bad posting my face

This thread is mostly for me to track my new years res, and to try making some photos.

My new years res is to lose 80 lbs by the end of December (December 2010).

I currently weigh 225 lbs (approximately), losing 80 lbs will bring me down to 145, my high school wrestling weight. I know I can lose 50 without a doubt, which would bring me down to 175.

Here are some pics as of now...

Image 1: 225 lbs

I'll probably be posting at any weight loss greater than or equal to 5 lbs.

Wish me luck!

(Just shaved, so, me sans beard...

Me sans beard: 225 lbs

Hey! Congrats on the thread and welcome to ampics! Now I finally know the face behind that beautiful voice. Shameless plug - ladies, check out his music site! Good luck on the weight loss journey. If you post pics semi-regularly, that would be enough incentive to show us your progress, no?

Re: your pics, I can't decide which I like better - with or without beard. Either one looks great.

I actually thought about doing something like that myself. Think it's a great idea and a great motivator. Good luck to you hun!

Hey good luck with getting down back down to 145lbs

I think just by shaving you must've lost at least a few pounds Juuust kiddding !!!!

Suggestion : Lots and lots of cardios and noo noo carbos !!!!! Good luck again !!

Just found out (didn't realize it before) that I dropped 10 lbs and inches in the waist over Christmas Break, still going for 80 on top of that by the end of December to put me at 145...

I will be posting a video of a walk I'll be taking tomorrow hopefully (bits and pieces)... it'll probably be around... 8-10 miles? It depends on how the rain is whether I'll do the walk I've been meaning to do between two towns.

I think I'll just be posting pics and videos of exercise and stuff and update what I weigh every... 2 weeks or so? This means that posts should be coming up on TuThSa most likely (because the other days I have school and will be busy with other things besides losing 80 lbs... except possibly by sweating out finals...)

And... as comic relief and because it's one of my favorite ways to exercise... you'll be getting video of me playing DDR... we'll see how that goes.

So this kinda doesn't belong here, but it's pics and video, so unless a forummeister objects, I'll keep putting stuff up, and hopefully it'll be inspirational or helpful... or just hilarious... to someone

Well I wish you good luck in your weightloss.... just remember dont give up. Even when you are tired push through and you will feel better. Always keep a positive out look which seems
to be what you are doing so far!
*hugs and high 5*

I've lost close to 30 since August. I am a big guy as well, at 21 I was 6'2" 230, at 45 I was 260, quit smoking last March, peaked at 269 in August.

I started doing the daily plate at www.livestrong.com and it really helps just tracking what you eat. I'm just a hair over 240 now and am working pretty hard at the diet thing to stay around that until winter is over(it's fucking cold up here) and then I hope to lose 20 more after that.

 

[operaBaritone]

Thanks Peyote

I appreciate it

*hugs and high 5!*

Oh, sorry albertaboy, didn't see you there! Sounds cool I'll have to check it out.

So it rained most of the day and I don't have my PS2 to do DDR so today was an indoor sad day

EDIT:

I did do almost 20 pushups! W00T! I suck!

Anyway, I'll be leaving video on

http://www.youtube.com/user/lose80lbs

of me doing... something... hopefully everyday related to exercise...

ENDEDIT

However, I did translate with a dictionary

Предметом теории комбинаторных алгоритмов, часто называемой \\ являются вычисления на дискретных математических структурах

to

The subject of the theory of combinatorial algorithms, often called \\, are computations on discrete mathematical structures

where // was a special kind of russian script which I can't read or type, oh, and I learned the Cyrillic alphabet and how to type it

Which is working on my modified other year end goal to learn two languages to basic conversational understanding (I was learning Arabic and Spanish, currently I've got good connections for learning Russian so I'm starting there).

So at least one of my goals is being done!!

operaBaritone: You could always take some post-workout pics. Or even funny pics. You know what, I would like to see a vid of you singing - an operatic song or ballad. You could upload it somewhere and post the link here. I know this is a pic thread, but I'm also advertising your voice!

Albertaboy: Good luck on the weight loss too. Try to keep with the healthy diet and exercise.

Well, I am still trying to lose weight, but have been sick for about 3 weeks, so I've been unable to work out. I'm hoping this cough with give up soon... I'm still hoping to lose 80!!!
