ntrprnr 0 #1 April 25, 2007 So... Quote(his voice getting progressively higher): Oh I know it hurts now Brian, but look at the bright side: you have some new material for that novel you've been writing. You know...the novel you've been workin' on? You know the the one, uh, you've been workin on for three years? You know the novel. Got somethin' new to write about now. You know? Maybe a, maybe a main character gets into a relationship and suffers a little heartbreak? Somethin' like what... what you've just been through? Draw from real life experience? Little, little heartbreak? You know? Work it into the story? Make the characters a little more three dimensional? Little, uh, richer experience for the reader? Make those second hundred pages really keep the reader guessing what's going to happen? Some twists and turns? A little epilogue? Everybody learns that the hero's journey isn't always a happy one? (Voice returns to normal.) Oh, I look forward to reading it. How we all doing? I'm getting there... Down from 212 to 202. Gaining muscle. And I'm in love with my jump rope.

gonzalesna 1 #2 April 25, 2007 Well, I'm back up to 150, and definition is starting to show... granted, I didn't need to get rid of a belly, but I thought I'd jump in and use it as an excuse to get into the gym again. I started out at about 135 lbs I think. I'm trying to get back up to 155, so I'm doin' pretty good Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icon134 0 #3 April 25, 2007 I think I've more or less lost about 10 lbs... but this is a recovery week for my rowing training and I haven't worked out nearly as much as I have in the last month (but just this week) I ramp up again next week though. Although, correct me If I'm wrong but doesn't this end next tuesday... or... can we push it back to the end of May... I think I can really make some serious progress by then...

unformed 0 #5 April 25, 2007 I started out at about 162 lbs and 20-21% body fat, and have knocked it down to 147 and 14-15%. I haven't had time to work out lately, so I'm just watching what I eat and making sure I don't gain again.This ad space for sale. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dorbie 0 #8 April 25, 2007 QuoteI was thinking about that... We could probably keep it going to Memorial Day... Thoughts? Good plan, I plan to give it another 3 months :-) I'm down 10-15 lbs but haven't been working out enough. I don't see a need to stop at this point.

TrophyHusband 0 #10 April 25, 2007 i would love to keep it going, but i'm not stopping until i reach 170, contest or not. i dropped below 200 for the first time in about 3 years the other day. if we kept it going another month, i will achieve a greater than 20 pound loss. in the interest of fairness, it should be a unanimous decision among the contestants though.

FlyingJ 0 #11 April 25, 2007 I like the extension idea! I hit it hard right off the bat and lost 10-15lbs, and then got sent on a wildfire detail where it rained two days after I arrived and all we did was sit around and eat (followed by drinking lots of beer at night) and gained it all, plus a bit, back. Doh! Hittin' it hard again and feeling good, but it sure isn't coming off as easy as it did a couple months ago.Killing threads since 2004. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
