2020 paceline weightloss challenge

[JAGI410]

I haven't stepped on a scale in 2 years because I'm scared of the number. I worked really hard to go from 267 to 195, just to gain most of it back through lack of self discipline. I'll check the scale in the morning and join in the festivities. Good luck everyone!

Lost about 20 lbs in a group challenge a two years ago and gained back 8 or so since then. Happy to join!

Yeah, I just have to buy batteries for the scale. Could stand to burn off some cookies and beer. Will get the scale in order and join in by next week.

I am in. Actually started a few weeks ago and dropped from 211 to current 203. Aiming for Assault on Mt. Mitchell in May. DNF last year and am convinced weight was a factor. Have to lose it. Older I get, harder to do. Difficult to keep track of as I lose up to 8 pounds a work-out, obviously water weight. How well I hydrate is key. Now - no sugars. Haven't touched alcohol in a few years. Only dairy is frozen yogurt because it has no fat. Nothing with a face except some fish for protein and omega 3.

I’m in. Only need to drop about 16 lbs but this will help motivate me.

I'm in. I'm reaching the weight limit for some of my bike parts!

My goal is 195 back to 175 by this summer - and from there we'll see what's possible on a longer timeline..

I've done it before, I can do it again.

Exactly where I'm at. I was in best shape of my life and the lightest of my life for big race in Aug 2018. I tipped scales at 162, and I've somehow made it into 190's territory.

At 6'3" I am a big fan of 170........giddyup

A few tips from a PT who has had several fat loss clients over the years:

1) "slow" movement over hard-charging weekend grindfests. Steady, low impact movement (walking to lunch, taking the stairs) is much more effective than being sedentary all week long and trying to compensate with a century ride.

2) Hydrate. Most of us are chronically dehydrated. The body often mistakes dehydration for hunger.

3) Avoid the office snacks. They're one of the biggest culprits, by far.

4) If you really want an accurate reading of your body comp (fat vs muscle) get a Hydrostatic Underwater Test. That's the current gold standard.

How much cash would that set somebody back?

Just found this link in AZ. http://www.hydrodunk.com/pricing/
But prices vary. Usually, the dunk tanks are mobile.
As an addendum: muscle is denser than fat, as many know. It's possible then, to weigh 200 lbs at six three, and have less body fat than someone at 180 with a similar height.
If you already consider yourself in at least pretty good shape, I'd recommend that Hydrostatic test as a much better barometer than the scale.

I am in. Looking to drop about 10kg.
