Thanks! Just finished my first work out with Insanity. Certainly different from just running 4 miles with no change of pace. Good thing I am not focusing on weight loss because I really have no idea what I burned since I was not wearing a HRM. I will just add a small amount based on high impact aerobics I guess and see what happens.Awesome job!!! Good luck with phase 2

How do you like it? Ive been thinking about trying it when I lose about 20 more pounds but I'm concerned it will totally destroy my achilles tendonitis... is it as high impact as everyone says?Thanks!

Can't really tell after just one day as the first day is really just a basic fitness test. I think after a week I will have a better idea as I will have done a bunch of the different programs by then. I will post periodic updates.How do you like it?

Did you finish the Insanity training? I was reading the beginning of that thread and saw you got started and that you were shooting to lose 20 there. Did you have any luck?Early in that thread Joe B mentioned MyFitnessPal.

Good week for me after going through the end of summer/ff draft beer and bad food gauntlet.
Down 4.5 lbs bringing my total to 73 since January. 7 away from my goal. Hoping to get there by early October

See, I can't even fathom this. Incredible!I just purchased a 20 pound bag of fertilizer and realized "holy crap", I was carrying this around with me every day. 73 pounds!! Holy hell. You basically lost the weight of a 10 year old kid. Could not have more respect for you. Just amazing.

Nice job guys, keep posting. As Richard Simmons as all of this seems sometimes like the old man said, Ted you lost a small child. That's amazing stuff.
NewlyRetired - I've done that before as well, pick up a bag of something and realize I just lost that. Amazing how much fat we all carry around.

Actually I had to abort insanity. It was going great for a couple weeks, but I got incredibly bad ankle soreness. It could be a rekindling of basketball injuries from high school, or just general stress on the joints, wasn't sure. Was a shame because I was building up some momentum and enjoying it.I'll be doing MFP. I'm going to try to start running in the mornings and get a routine going, but with home, family, daughter, and work, it seems to be so hard to stay in a groove with it. But I'll give it a try -- that will definitely springboard me into some better momentum if I can keep it up.
I can't always separate the schtick between you and others (which I enjoy) but if you ARE serious with MFP/losing weight/getting healthier, don't focus/stress too much on the the exercise right from the get go. Decide what type of foods you are going to eat, what portions you can eat for your calorie goals and what your eating schedule will look like (I assume you have a crazy schedule based on your overall posts). If you stick to your calorie goals, the exercise is just a bonus. Of course, you should fit some in but don't make that your focus. Best of luck this go around.

The more & more I hear about Insanity and even P90X the less likely I'd ever recommend either to someone. Everyone I've known that has attempted Insanity has gotten hurt or had to throw in the towel because of injury or they were too sore to continue. Just don't understand the draw.
Otis
Footballguy
Thanks, appreciate the suggestion and it makes sense to me. Tomorrow we start from square one again. Just need to get some momentum.
NewlyRetired
Footballguy
The only draw for me is to try something different. I figure the body can quickly get used to the same old routine but if you change things up, it keeps your body guessing and working new muscles and keeps your mind fresh. At worst if if it doesn't work out (which seems to be a high possibility at this point), I can always go back to the old routine that served me well these past 8 weeks.

I have completed insanity once and done the first half another two times. It works great for me but I had to stop once due to a freak injury playing basketball and the other time I just felt the first month worked well enough. It is tough on the body but it is also designed for people in quality cardio shape already. You can do it in bad shape and be successful but they stress during the videos to do it at your pace and form is better than speed. I can see people ignoring proper form easily and hurting themselves. P90x is a much lower impact workout that is designed to help people in bad shape. The programs worked well for me because at the time I couldn't get to the gym and this gave me something focused I could follow. What people need to remember is that proper form is better than another few reps.

So this last 11 days has been an interesting test.
June 15 - 178#
August 21 - 160#
From Friday August 24th until yesterday, I was completely off rails. 2 drafts, an all day tailgate, losing power for Hurricane and then vacation for labor day I didn't enter food once. I ate, drank, etc for 11 days. Some days were better than others, but it was pretty bad all things considered. No exercise at all. I was very scared to step on the scale this morning.
165#
I was expecting worse as I think a few lbs of that is water weight.
Back on the program today

that is quite a confluence of events and I agree with your guess that at least two of those pounds may just be water and will come off quickly.I guess this is a good lesson though. We are all pretty happy how quickly the weight is coming off but it appears it can go back on just as quickly.
I started MFP in July. I was at 190#. Got on the scale this morning and was at 171.5#. Down 18.5# since July 7th. I am pretty happy with the progress. My original goal was to get to 170. However, I have seen some of the up and down during the day. I think I am going to go for 168 and then work on just maintaining.
Good luck Otis. Hope it works for you this time. On the running / exercise side of things - you really have to make it through the first week. After 7 or so days it just becomes a habit. Stay with man and things will work out.

another MFP success story! That is awesome work.

I signed-up with MFP in late July and been logging religously for 35 days now. Just like in my golf game, I am 100% honest in my scorekeeping so that I know it's legit when I improve. So there are some "bad days" in the log, but they're few and far between.
I'll pat myself on the back for getting through a 3-day Vegas FF Auction weekend under my weekly goal.
And just did my weigh-in this morning and I lost 8 pounds over those 35 days! I'm 1/3 of the way to my goal (want to be 190lbs, on a 6'6" frame -- that seems low but I'm naturally lanky).
Where I totally fail is on exercise. Between work and travel I never seem to be able to hit a routine. I just hate exercise when it's for the sake of exercise. And I don't have a consistent enough schedule for organized sports (which I do enjoy).
Anyways, I'm just doing what I can on the "input" side since I'm a miserable failure on the "output" side. Hopefully the latter will come at some point.
Thanks everyone for pointing out this app to me. I have been lurking since July and now it's nice to have some success to report. Small (nothing like 75+ lbs -- that's an amazing and awesome achievement) but it's working.
Another case of "what gets measured gets managed" for me.

I am in the same place. Had a horrible Labor Day Weekend as far as food and drink is concerned. Went to a fair, had fried oreo's, funnel cake, had more than my share of beer, dips, cheese, meats etc etc. Refused to step on the scale when we got home for the weekend. I am just going to wait until Friday to do my normal weigh in so that I am not totally disgusted with myself.

Sounds like you have a very realistic attitude which if you keep your discipline should get you close to your goal. If on the way you do find yourself plateauing, you may be forced to add in some exercise to shake things up but unless that happens, keep chugging.

10 days in - down 5 lbs - I guess I'll take that.
I've got to let the science behind the program work and let it go that I'm not going to lose 10 lbs a week.
As a wrestler from the age of 8 through 21, I'm used to being able to lose 19 lbs in a week if I needed to make weight.
That's actually a big reason I got so damn fat. Once I was done with wrestling and could eat whatever I wanted, I went crazy for 10 years.
Couple other things:
I didn't go wild Saturday but I definitely went OVER my cal limit. It was a holiday and I probably ended up over by 200-300 calories. I've still lost since Friday so I must be fine. What really killed me was over night eating. I was up very late and put down 2 fiber one bars and a pack of PB crackers which meant Saturday morning, I had already eating 400 of my 1600 calories for that day.
Secondly - Trader Joes is pretty awesome. Since I am a bachelor and have trouble cooking for myself that often, I decided to check out Trader Joes this weekend and grab some pre packaged junk. I can portion things out on my kitchen scale correctly and scan the barcodes right into the program. Had some bomb-### eggplant parmesan last night and since I portioned correctly, ended up well under my cal count for the day.
Lastly - to avoid the late night munchies. I've been leaving some of my dinner left over and just reheating it at 10 PM when I usually get cravings. This is eating close to bed time, but it's working for me. Instead of finishing my dinner, I stop with about 1/4 of the portion left and re-heat that when I get the late night cravings.
My favorite part about the program is eating tiny bits for breakfast and lunch and then having the freedom to eat almost as I used to for dinner. I really enjoy dinner foods like pasta, steaks, etc. This diet allows me to plan for eating heavy at dinner time and still lose weight

Sweet. This works differently for different people but that's pretty much how I ate to lose 12% of my body weight. It is not optimal but I figure if it keeps you mentally in the game it is worth it. Being optimal and then quitting because the change makes you so unhappy does no one any good.My favorite part about the program is eating tiny bits for breakfast and lunch and then having the freedom to eat almost as I used to for dinner.

Trader Joe's has some great food that allows you to "gorge" without adding too many calories. I love their nitrite-free chicken hot-dogs. Only 80 calories per dog. Pair that with some 60-calories light hot dog buns from Jewel and you can eat 3-4 dogs for a meal, be really full, and still have lots left for the day.Their guilt-free frozen mac & cheese is pretty good too.Love that store.

I'm thinking that might happen. But if I get to 195, that will mean I'm exercising with 20 fewer pounds around my waist and maybe it won't be as tough then.Either way, I used to sit down in front of the TV and plough through a bag of tiny chocolate bars or Doritos. Now I can't stand the thought of inputting that many calories into the app, so they don't get touched. Small victories. Consistent exercise will be like the superbowl for me, but I have to make the playoffs first.

Same thing I'm hoping for. With the stress fracture in my back and still having really bad mornings of back pain and tightness, anything other than walking as become near impossible for me. I walk the dog 35-50 minutes a day at a good pace and that's about all I can muster these days.Hopefully 40 pounds dropped will make things easier.I'm thinking that might happen.

Time for my 5 month "check up". Start with the TL/DR and then a few added comments afterwards.
TL/DR (cliffs) version:
1. I am 46 years old and 5'9" as a reference
2. 5 months ago I was at 192 (28.4 BMI) and was "down" to smoking about 1/2 pack of cigarettes per day (high was 2 packs and had smoked for 20ish years)
3. I lost 60 pounds about 7 years ago to get down to around 175 pounds - I felt "good" at that weight but was up and down from 175-185 since then
4. My "diet" consisted of cheap microwave dinners and high fat snacks during the week and then the usual guy food on the weekend. My wife and I also eat out quite a bit and I went the "big meal" route
5. Once I hit the 190s I KNEW that it was time to lose again. I went to the doctor to get all my blood work done as well to see how bad it was overall. My cholesterol was high (220s total/40 for my good) and he had me do a lung test that showed me at 88% of capacity (no I won't do the cigarette commercial here). He suggested a low fat diet and gave me a cheat sheet (which I promptly tossed and researched my own "diet").
6. I set out to lose the weight and decided on the foods that would be the core of my diet - fish, chicken whole grain breads, peanut butter, low cholesterol snacks and cereal (mainly yogurt), skim milk, fruits and vegetables. Then, the hard part, how could I prepare these items so I didn't burn out - I have become a decent and creative cook in the last 5 months.
7. I also decided walking was my exercise of choice. I bought some cheap shoes (since shoes don't matter, right). My "goal" for the wellness program was to burn 200 calories/workout (to get credit for a workout). My first walk was 2.25 miles in 35 minutes and there was NO WAY I could go on. Also, I didn't hit 200 calories so I knew then that I would have to push (that sucked) harder.
Fast forward 5 months
8. As of this morning, I am 162 pounds (23.9 BMI) - this is my lowest total since my teens I would guess
9. My "diet" still consists of mostly the low fat/low cholesterol/high protein foods but I enjoy them so it isn't a diet but my eating habits now. I do eat foods that aren't as good from time to time (the Reno Rib Cook-off was this weekend so I had to work extra hard during that - but still enjoyed the ribs as well)
10. My cholesterol follow up was 2 months ago and I was at 162/45
11. I am now 5 months smoking free. It just "happened" and I went cold turkey without too much thought or anxiety. Still have the rare craving but surviving
12. Yesterday I walked twice (once early and once in the afternoon) - both to make up for the ribs and because I had time and enjoy the exercise now. I put on my new running shoes (I have learned they make a difference) and walked 4.45 miles in the morning hour and 4.66 miles in the afternoon hour (my new best). Per MFP, that is a combined 952 calories burned. I could have gone on if I HAD too (compared to 5 months ago)
13. My wife has also lost over 30 pounds and is getting some confidence and excitement about her weight back. She has struggled her entire adult life but this is the first time she didn't "fad diet" to try to lose weight. That is more exciting to me than my progress
So, that's my update. I "think" my ultimate goal is 155 and then maintenance from there, but I will see how I feel at that point. Thanks to my "buddies" from here who post the comments on MFP and who post their own updates to keep me going. For the added comments:
The 5 month point is from my realization that EVERYTHING needed to change (and I am a couple days shy I believe, but close enough since I hit a big goal today). Also, I started toward my goal by using MapMyFitness. Since I decided that walking was my exercise of choice and on using MMF since it allowed my workouts to upload to my Health Wellness plan and count toward my wellness points. My goal, at the time, for wellness was to get to my yearly minimum needed (2500) to keep my deductible low and I had all my points except my my fitness points. I lost my first 8 pounds (the easy ones) using MMF but the interface locked up often, I didn't like the food journal nor did I find the calories burned to be realistic. My wife had downloaded My Fitness Pal and suggested I used that instead. Been hooked since (am at 80 days in a row logged in - think that's about how long I have been using the app).

1) And people call me "the old man" LOL!4 and 6) That is a fantastic lifestyle change. Well done. I know that could not be easy. One thing about cooking everything yourself is that I think you can really be honest when tracking calories. I have been a cook my entire adult life but only in the last 8 weeks did I ever really measure anything in terms of calories (holy hell was I using too much oil!) :7) Your walking pace is just sick! My body simply can not accommodate that pace walking. I need to jog anytime I get over 4 MPH. Great work because keeping such a good pace with a relatively low impact work out is a wonderful combination.8) To weigh at or less than you did when you were a teenager has to make you feel great!Nice update and congrats on the accomplishments.
That's why you can do Insanity. You young whipper-snappers have that in you. I probably only have another month or so before I have to use my walker on my daily workout. Now get off my lawn

Like many here I suspect, I need to back on the wagon after this weekend. It was filled with drafts, beer, friends, bbq, more friends and more beer. But the scale is a jealous mistress and she let me have it this morning. It could have been worse, but I erased some of the gains I had made prior. Time to knuckle down a little.

Make that 7 lbs down in 11 days.

No, you're currently burning off X calories and consuming Y. As you've lost weight X > Y, repeat until at desired weight. Once at desired weight change calories consumed to X.

Hmmm. So someone who weighs 110 lbs can eat the exact same amount of calories as someone who weighs 300 lbs and still lose at the same rate of 2 lbs per week?Usually with Weight Watchers, your point total allowance would drop as your weight did. I'm confused here I guess

No. It'll ask you if you want to revise it after you lose 10#. at that point, it will lower your daily calories.

I would also recommend that anyone using the app, to go into your profile every so often and change a setting from on item to another and then back again. I found that doing this will force the app to redo all the math for your calorie intake.For some reason the app was not doing this automatically for me unless I mucked with the profile settings forcing it to redo the math. I do remember at the 10 pound mark it asked me if I wanted to change my goal, but when I said no, it did not change anything.

Lordy. Weighed in this morning. 238. Up nearly 10 lbs since my low weight of the year. Ungood.
I think I've decided that booze is my problem. Tons of empty calories with how much I drink, plus it leads me to not giving a crap about what other garbage I throw in my pie hole when I'm sitting on the couch lit up, plus then I end up hungover and hungry the next day. Also makes it impossible to run in the AM. Gonna try and cut the booze and see if that gets me going.
