(LAFFF) It Begins Again [Jan. 4th, 2009|08:21 am]

[Current Mood | determined]

In February of 2007, I began something of a weight loss program. In March of 2007, I stopped something of a weight loss program. In April of 2007, I began expanding at a rate rivaled only by that of the universe and Starr Jones. This year, just for fun, I decided to join fellow Maxxers on TMBO in the year-long TMBO weight-loss challenge. I figure, if I'm going to do this sort of thing, why not document it here, too?

The short answer? Because it would get ANNOYING quickly. So my nod to that is this, I'm restarting the "Lose All the Fat, Fat-Fuck" posts (LAFFF) which will contain a sort of a daily diary of caloric intake, exercise, and my normal musings on whatever stupidity I've currently undertaken. If you wish to get those, comment here and I'll add you to the group (chances are, anyone who wants to see them has already been added the LAST time I played this game, but there have been new folks since then).

In addition to those posts, I'm sure I'll be posting, periodically, updates that include my weight, waist size, and such. So, in the spirit of full disclosure, here are the stats as of yesterday's measurements *deep breath*:
  • Height: 6'0" (I hope for this not to change, although I wouldn't be averse to suddenly growing into my weight, in which case I'll be 32' tall)
  • Weight: 287 lbs (or about 130 kilos)
  • Pant Size: 42 (this is the size of the pants that fit the best, they are loose, but not as loose as I'd prefer pants that have a size number with a leading 4 to be)
  • Waist Measurement: 50" (I am trusting that this is where my "waist" is, although I cannot fathom actually wearing pants there)
Good lord, I'm Orca. Lets see how this goes.

Well, clearly I'm there with you (though I haven't TMBO'd about it), so I'd be up for seeing the updates. That way I can be pissed when you race by me. ;)

My biceps and calves are sore this morning - I guess that's what I get for working out hard for the first time in years.

It goes without saying! I've been using aparkpeople.com because of the free food diary tool.

So do you have a specific plan (e.g. no processed carbs, no sugar, give up pop, train for a marathon, whatever?) or just a general eat-fewer-calories-exercise-more kind of thing?

My plan is to go back to at least 4 30-minute workouts per week while exercising some "portion control" and cutting my daily caloric intake to below 2000.

Might as well add me. If you are an Orca, what has an Orca beat by 50 lbs? Orca's Momma? Anyway, I need to get down at lewast 30 lbs to make it through my medicine months as an intern, so there ya go. 6 months and counting.

I'll buy in. I'm in the same boat; maybe I can manage to make Wii Fit stop mocking me.

Add me, please! I had started taking weekly pictures to keep track as well, (which lasted for about a month) and would love to see your progress too!

This reminds me - I need to get with my trainer for another update, although I want to push it as far past the holiday season as I can. Eclairs for breakfast maybe weren't my healthiest choice. :grin:

I will be taking pics about weekly and doing a fairly regular measurement thing... we shall see.

Keep me in the loop. I'll be working hard to lose more of my excess weight as well. I just won't be as "talkative" as you are about it. :)
