Day Two of 84 on the Body For Life Program

[soonerhubs]

I'll have to post some of my before pictures another day. At the moment I'm too disgusted by them to show them to anyone but myself for motivation.
I'm sore from running, but the diet really isn't that bad.

Give me some motivation and inspiration.

I'm 6 foot, and I weigh 235 lbs with a 43 inch waist.
It's time to get both numbers down and see a six pack in a few months.

[sooneron]

Patience and best wishes to you. The wife and I are on fat jihads. I am down 6lbs since early January. I want to lose 20.

[BigRedJed]

Man, that's weird. I'm an inch shorter than you, weigh as much or maybe a couple of pounds more, and have a smaller waist. :confused:

And no, I don't do the hillbilly buckle-the-tight-jeans-below-the-giant-belly thing. Do you let your pants ride up unusually high? Or is one of us shaped really funny?

[olevetonahill]

You wimps and wanting your 6 pack abs
Sheesh Be a Man
Get a Kegger Like Me :D

[soonerhubs]

You're more muscular?
:confused:

[BigRedJed]

Not that I know of? :confused:

[soonerhubs]

Not that I know of? :confused:
I'm just steering clear of the possibility that my pants are worn to high. :D Surely I didn't leap that far off the fashion train.

[BigRedJed]

Maybe I AM doing the hillbilly thing? :confused:

[soonerhubs]

Maybe I AM doing the hillbilly thing? :confused:
The plan is for this to be moot in 3 months. Sorry Olevet, but I really want this for my energy and my health. Also, we Mormons don't drink, so there's no fun in having a beer gut with no beer contributing to the mass.

[sanantoniosooner]

Jed gets the nod because he's red also.

So wheres the fun in a six pack Huh ?

[soonerhubs]

Caffeine Free Diet Dr. Pepper.

[sooneron]

No cig addiction to quit, no caffeine, no booze, how'd you get to where you are? :D

[soonervegas]

I did BFL back in 2003 and I was very very happy with the results.

I can't wait to hear about your free day (eating) in about 4 weeks. Once your body makes the decision it doesn't like fat and grease anymore....good times.

[crawfish]

I'd answer this if Jed didn't constantly abuse his mod powers.

And if I wasn't such a big sissy.

"Unless you are under the age of 25 or are a professional athlete, its not gonna happen. Get some bigger shirts" ;)

[soonernation]

Do you have a REALLY BIG head?

[soonerhubs]

No cig addiction to quit, no caffeine, no booze, how'd you get to where you are? :D
Ice cream and Jello is all we have to enjoy. Ironically I should be more moderate in my diet, but who's perfect at it? :D

[soonerhubs]

Day three. (I won't do this every day, just the first little while to keep me motivated.)

[BigRedJed]

Do you have a REALLY BIG head?
Well, I have been told that it's pretty massive, actually.

[OU4LIFE]

I'm 6'4" and change, weigh 300 lbs and have a smaller waist than either of you, AND a bigger cap size.

;)

[BigRedJed]

Yeah, those extra four or five inches you've got on us helps you out, I'd bet.

[BigRedJed]

Wait...

[OU4LIFE]

heh

[OU4LIFE]

and HGH.

in my skull

[frankensooner]

Keep going Hubler. I am on day 416.

[soonerhubs]

Keep going Hubler. I am on day 416.
Thanks, today was my first lower body workout. My legs feel like Jello now. I think that's expected though.

[frankensooner]

Once you get past the muscle soreness of the first week or so, you will be golden.

[frankensooner]

So, what is it now Day 4? Ready for a free day yet? I still love free day. How do you feel?

[soonerhubs]

So, what is it now Day 4? Ready for a free day yet? I still love free day. How do you feel?
Day 5 actually, so the second upper body work out was this morning. I'm starting to see where I can step up the weights, and I also see some of my limits. Yesterday was hell on my legs after 2 days of running and 1 day of squats/lunges/deadlifts and other lower body training. Saturday is our designated free day so we'll do cardio and diet on Sundays for the next 12 weeks. I get excited when I think of all the fat that's soon to be melting away.
PS: Per the diet, I had a portion of Stake and Potatoes just now. Atkins can stick it. :D I'm on my 5th cup of water. This is a good diet.
I may post some pictures today. It'll be me fat but fully clothed.

[soonerhubs]

Here we go. Now I have even more reason to stick to this regimen for the next 3 months.

Never seen such a good looking Mormon have you? :D

[BigRedJed]

I guess it's just that you're shaped weird. Well, now we know.

;)

[soonerhubs]

Heh.

Oh, and Farkers feel free. I've no shame. Maybe you can superimpose that head on a body builder.

That's funny. He doesn't look Mormon.


You really don't look all that fat to me. Kind of like the After Jared. ;)

[StoopTroup]

Good Luck Hubler.

[StoopTroup]

Man that stuff is like liquid gold.

[soonerhubs]

Day 9 of 84. I weigh the same, but my pants feel looser. This is WHAT it is all about! :D :) :):):)
Don't worry Franken, I'm sticking with it.

Fark Spek, but Uncle Rico is before. Here's a great after. :D

[12]

I realize Uncle Rico isn't Mormon, but I figured throwing your mug on Steve Young wouldn't have got a chuckle.

Do the Mormon's have special jockstraps for working out?;)

Good for you, Hubler. Keep at it. Bettering yourself makes you better for those around you.

Thanks man.
Uncle Rico is close enough. I actually have pictures of his van when we took a short Sunday drive a few years back.

[12]

Yep. That's why I thought of Rico. Mormonism is to you as Napoleon Dynamite is to me. :D

You should post those photos on here. I was impressed... made me want to skip up to Preston to witness it myself.

[soonerhubs]

Day 11. I can't remember being this sore, but I know it's worth it. :)

[sooneron]

When having your pic taken from the front, try not to tilt your head back. Makes you look pudgier.

[frankensooner]

Check your pm box, I sent you a tasty meal idea.

[soonerhubs]

Day 15 Feeling good.

Upper Body work out went well. (My Arms feel like Jello.)

My free day was enjoyed, but I got heart burn. I suppose my body wasn't used to ingesting all that bad food. We may actually shorten or skip this upcoming free day, just because it feels better.

[OU4LIFE]

that's the whole idea of the free day. You'll find that even on your free day you won't do it to the extremes you used to.

[soonerhubs]

that's the whole idea of the free day. You'll find that even on your free day you won't do it to the extremes you used to.
The wife and I are splitting plates at the restaurant because our stomachs have shrunk.

Nothing wrong with that situation at all.

I did eat an entire box of mini éclairs on that day. I don't regret it one bit though. :D

[frankensooner]

that's the whole idea of the free day. You'll find that even on your free day you won't do it to the extremes you used to.

Not true. I still chow down like a madman on freeday.

I think it is why I have been able to keep it up for so long. Eat yourself sick each week. Don't skip it, it is key.

[OU4LIFE]

difference between us I guess, I just found that after being on it for a while, the free day choices I made were still WAY better than the ones I would normally make. AND I couldn't eat near the quantity of the bad stuff as well.

[OU4LIFE]

well, that and I have a hole-in-one...those are the two MAJOR differences.

[OU4LIFE]

have you ever considered the handle "Don'thaveaholeinonesooner"?

[ChickSoonerFan]

I'd answer this if Jed didn't constantly abuse his mod powers.

And if I wasn't such a big sissy.



ABUSE!!! ABUSE!!!!!!!! are you gonna let him get away with that?





:D

[frankensooner]

have you ever considered the handle "Don'thaveaholeinonesooner"?
YOu mean everyone doesn't have a hole in one? I got one the first time I ever played. Thats why I quit, too easy, now I spend my free time killing zombies.

;)

[frankensooner]

BTW, today is my free day and I just ate 8 peices of Popeye's spicy chicken.

[OU4LIFE]

if you'd have said 8 WHOLE spicy chickens I'd have been impressed.

[IB4OU2]

if you'd have said 8 WHOLE spicy chickens I'd have been impressed.

Come on buddy...I know youv'e eaten that many on your "free" day. ;)

[OU4LIFE]

yeah, but those were fresh chickens, from your pen. and it was a full moon.

[soonerhubs]

My Salvation Snack on this Diet (I think my wife converted it from Weight Watchers)
2 Tubs of Cool Whip Light
2 Cans of Pumpkin (Not the Pie mix)
1 Box of Sugar Free/Fat free Jello
5 Scoops of Protein Powder
Pumpkin Pie Spice (added to taste)

Put one tub of Cool Whip in a bowl with the rest of the ingredients and mix for a good 5 minutes. Divide into 5 containers, and then Add a 1/4 cup or so of whip top on each.

These are loaded with fiber and protein, and not much sugar. Plus they ALMOST taste like a pumpkin pie. Excellent mid-meal snack.

Day 18. :D

Ooh... Pumkininny! That sounds intriguing, I'll have to try to it. What flavor of Jello do you use?

Here's another good dessert to try: mix up a couple ounces of ricotta cheese with some splenda and grated lemon peel. Really tasty and high in protein.

I'll have to try that out. I'm liking the Splenda on this plan.

The Jello flavor is your choice. I like Cheese Cake and Pistachio flavors while the Mrs like those and chocolate as well.

[frankensooner]

Back when we first started we ate a lot of those protien enriched puddings. They would get your sweet tooth saited.

[Viking Kitten]

I'm sorry Frank, but "protein enriched puddings" is making me giggle.

[frankensooner]

[puddin' nazi]NO tapioca for you!!![/puddin' nazi]

[Viking Kitten]

How can you have any protein enriched puddings if you don't eat you meat?

[olevetonahill]

if I could eat my meat I'd never leave the house.

This should be avoided when doing BFL:

[soonerhubs]

Day 25. My body is a changing. That is all...

Actually let's give some details.

43 inch waist at start. 41.5 Now
14 inch Biceps on each arm. 14.5 on each now.
235 lbs at start. 225 lbs now. (but this has been fluctuating up and down unlike my waist size.)

[StoopTroup]

I was wondering how you were doing.

Glad to hear it's positive.

[soonerhubs]

I was wondering how you were doing.

Glad to hear it's positive.

I can't quit now, I'm finally overcoming all that lactic acid from the first few weeks.

[StoopTroup]

No reason to look back.

Keep it up!

My job is to eat as much as I can until Sunday 12:00 AM CST.

Wish me luck!

[frankensooner]

enjoy!!! I know I am! ;) I just ate a cadbury egg

[soonerhubs]

My wife showed off her new found biceps to me yesterday. I was extremely proud.
I think this diet works in that it builds muscle while at the same time burning fat by doing cardio. In essence, your cardio becomes more effective as you build more muscle mass. Any experts out there?

P.S. We have also begun doing some fun aerobics routines. I may actually be a good dancer while I lose weight. :D

[soonerhubs]

Some pictures of progress, for those who care. :D

This is my before shot, and my after six weeks shot.

I've lost 17 lbs, I've lost 3 inches off my waist and my clothes are alot looser. My arms are bigger as well. I actually look forward to meals with spinach and lettuce.
I love this new life style.

[Mixer!]

Good Jorb! Have you got a pair of humongous pants you could hold up in your next picture? :D

[frankensooner]

Keep it up. It really works.

[OU4LIFE]

Good Jorb! Have you got a pair of humongous pants you could hold up in your next picture? :D

I could loan him a pair. :(

[soonerhubs]

Another thing we are doing, besides the weights and cardio, is setting a goal to take 10,000 steps a day. It's not easy, but with our dogs we always have the opportunity.
I'm also learning to do the aerobic and dance videos. I so feel like Napoleon Dynamite.

[soonerhubs]

Day 64 of 84.
I've shed 19 lbs, 4 inches off the waist, and I'm actually seeing the beginning of a six pack. I remember when I began how inconceivable the thought of flexing my abs was. Not anymore. :D

This diet works, and it works good.

[NormanPride]

Way to go, man!

Good JOB, man! And best of luck!

Buy yourself a scale that takes your body fat % (you can get a good one for a good price at Bed Bath and Beyond). It's good that you're using your waist measurement as a guide, because you can't go by your weight. You're putting on body muscle as you lose fat, so it's deceptive and can shake your determination and frustrate you a little.

Give yourself time for the 6 pack. AT LEAST 6 months, and probably closer to a year. The inital weight will drop off quickly, but that weight around your middle (the last little roll) will be a stubborn bugger because it's been there the longest. Your body won't want to lose it.

Remember CARDIO and DIET. Eat every three hours. Don't do anything gimmicky (like no carbs or all protein, etc) and do VARIABLE RATE cardio (fast, then slow, then fast). It shocks the system and makes you lose more fat, more quickly. But only do that after you can maintain a heart beat of between 135 and 150 for at LEAST 30 minutes continuous.

I have always been in good shape, but I let myself go and in December I weighed 207 with 24% bodyfat. ****ED ME OFF when I looked in the mirror and had a big ol' belly. So I got back on the horse and now I'm back down to 177lbs and 9% bodyfat.

Keep us informed of your progress and post the pictures of before and after once you get there!

GOOD LUCK!!!

[dolemitesooner]

I would post before and after pics, but my before pics without shirt would kill people over.

and I am so good looking now I dont wanna ****ing make anyone nervously attracked to me.

Ohh also congrats Hubler.

I have now lost 80 pounds and all the ladies are begging me for attention now. its pretty awesome.

Well, muscle mass is what burns fat, so the more dense muscle mass you have, the more fat you burn when you're sedentary. In other words, if you lift weights and build muscle mass, then you'll burn more fat when you're sleeping or when you're watching the Sooners win another national championship.

That's why you never want to JUST do cardio. Plus the weight lifting helps injury proof you when you are doing cardio.

If you add around 10lbs of dense muscle mass you'll burn an extra 1000 calories throughout the day doing absolutely NOTHING...and you'll burn even more when you work out.

[BigRedJed]

Crap, Doleo. I don't recall you being heavy enough to warrant losing 80 pounds. I'm a fat fattie, and even I don't need to lose 80 pounds. You either gained a bunch of weight after I saw you last, or you hid your weight REALLY well.

Either way, though, congrats. That's a huge accomplishment.

[Melo]

My weight battle:

When I went to MEPS, I weighed in at 117 pounds. The weight bracket for a female standing at 5'5 is 114-165. So my AF guy told me to go on a cheeseburger/milkshake diet. Which I had no problems with doing.

After going on an onion ring diet from sonic once a day for about a week and a half, I finally weighed back in at 127.7. But at this point, my size 0 pants were very difficult to fit into, and I realized I dont have the money to buy new pants. So I had to quit trying to gain weight. Now I seem to sit at about 121. I think its from all pt I have been doing, though.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Awesome job on sticking with the diet, both you guys.

[NormanPride]

Melo, I think almost every woman on this site is rolling her eyes at your weight "problems". ;) Truthfully, I know it can be hard to put on good weight for some people. Don't let it get you down, and keep up the good work!

[soonerhubs]

Day 84 for Sunday. I spent 3 hours riding horses down in Gore, so I didn't get a picture until Monday.

My energy level and my confidence has sky rocketed, and I plan to keep this lifestyle because it's now a habit. I've not been perfect at it, but I've still seen amazing results. I'll put some pictures up, but I'm really looking forward to a year from now when I've been doing this for over 400 days. Those pictures will be awesome as well.
Here's me at the beginning.

If you had these pictures blown up you could see a huge difference in my face. Also look at the same belt used in both pictures. That speaks volumes. Thanks for all the motivation guys. I'll post more pictures each month. It helps me keep accountable.
Starting Weight 235 lbs.
Today: 211 lbs.

Other stats...

14 inch Biceps on each arm. 15 on the left and 14.8 on the right now.
