FAT Fetts

Maybe we could put together a list of us 'stocky' Fetts, and post weekly progress on a weight-loss plan! My goal is to get down to 200 before Celebration 4.

Add me to that list! What better way to lose weight than doing so with fellow Mandos?

Well, I am too broke for WW...so I think I'll go for FF! Fat Fighters! :lol:

well, i did the online version, which is a LOT cheaper than the meetings, and doesn't involve being the only guy in a room full of women ;)

but the parts that really worked well for me weren't really even WW specific. logging everything i ate, and all the exercise i got, weekly weigh-in, and posting weekly updates in livejournal/myspace/etc...

so the part about weekly progress is a really good idea! start up a myspace group or something... bubbafett... and we can all check in weekly.

my initial goal was 170, so i'm REALLY close now. i'll actually probably go a bit lower since there's still some squish that could stand to go away. when i started, 170 seemed reeeeaaaaallllly far off. now i'm thinking 160 seems more like it.

but seeing as i just had to get a medium vest from batninja, i'd say it has been working well. :D
 
Why do I all of a sudden feel like I'm eaves dropping on a conversation my wife would be having with her friends:confused

I always pictured Mandos conversing about "manly" stuff:lol:

:lol: It takes real men to talk about the pesky pudge.

The Myspace group sounds like a great idea! Of course that means I'll have to actually join Myspace. :p
 
Okay, I'll start a new thread in the Sarlacc Pit. Feel free to post your current weight, your height, and your goal weight. Each week, we can post our numbers, and calculate our progress!
 
:lol: Well the truth of the matter is I've been dieting for the last month and a half in order to get in shape for a physical fitness test next month.

Like Turo, I am 5'6" and used to weigh around 177 lbs., but now I'm around 164 lbs. and love'n my shrink'n gut.:lol:

I do a slimfast shake and a glass of oj for b-fast, a salad for lunch, and a sensible dinner. I snack on dried fruit and nut mix in between when I get hungry and for energy for my workouts. And I cut out the sodas and now only do juice or water.

Plus, hitting the gym at 4:30 a.m. weekdays and co-coaching the Cross Country team at our school and running at least 4 miles everyday with the kids doesn't hurt either.;)

So guilty as charged!

I'm in for posting!(y)
 
Cruzer - were gonna be twins. :D Wait! better yet, clones.

What's your goal? I'm afraid that if i gain lean muscle my weight wont change. But as long as i loose my gut I'm cool.
 
I'm doing the diet were I eat at least 6 times a day. very small fist size portions. I drink tons of water and coffee. for every 4 glasses of water I drink a day, i treat my self with a cup of coffee. I dont drink soda or anything carbonated. I stay away from anything that has sugar.
 
Sounds good Turo!(y) What's up with the coffee? You know it's a diuretic right, basically dehydrates your body. And the natural sugars (fructose) in things like fruit are good energy sources...I think anyways.

Do we have any nutritionists here on the boards?

I need to loose as much as I can and gain as much strength and cardio endurance as possible. Here are the fitness goals I'm shooting for and events I'll be tested in:

Sit-ups: 50 in one minute
Push-ups: 55 untimed
300 sprint: 45 seconds
1.5 miles: 10 minutes

Clones unite!;)

I gotta get back into shape now that the temps out here have come down from dangerous levels. When I lived in Baltimore, I once got my bike all the way up to 40 mph ... it would be cool to try and do that again!
 
I'm in. :)

Winter is coming. Now is not the time to add any extra... :facepalm

This might work as we'll have a "Fettwork" of other people to rely on! :)
 
Well, I signed-up guys. I am in the 5'-6" group, and while I am a little over the current standards, I feel my goal is certainly attainable.

Any insight, and exercise tips would be a great add!

I've been riding my bike, while it has been sporatic, it has also helped a bit. I have been fluxuating around 178-182, but definately want to get down to 160 or so. Like Turo though, I'll gladly trade some muscle mass for my soft mid-section.
 
I signed up in the other thread, but I though I would weigh in here too. (Bad pun intened. :lol: )

According to the chart at the doctors office, I am considered borderline obease. At 5'-10" and 237 lbs. I am 57 lbs. over the "ideal weight" for a 5'-10" male, which is 180 lbs. :angry That chart is a load of crap. :angry It does not take into accout body type and mussle mass. As a stocky guy, I carry my weight very well, and with a 48" chest there is no way in heck I will ever be 180 lbs. I can definately loose some weight, and get rid of my gut, but my goal is 220.

I strongly agree with that right there. In high school I was able to leg press 700 lbs and squat 8 rep @ 405 lbs ... my legs really bulked up and are the prime reason why I'd be considered overweight.
Gator ... I'll second what Turo said: you done a great job with that right thre, and it looks great on you!:cheers
