How much weight have you lost? - Page 3 - JP Fitness Forums

fengshway · 04-15-2007, 06:20 AM

I am a 43 year old 5 " 7" woman. I am maintaining a 60 lb weight loss for more than 5 years. I just LOVE the NROL!! I have followed it to the letter for 8 weeks, 4 weeks of break in, now I am in FL 1. I am at the lowest weight in 15 years, and the smallest pants size too. I finally believe I will get to a normal weight, only 7 pounds away now!!

Congratulations. NROL is a great program. Thank you for sharing with us. You'll need to keep us posted on when you reach your goal. Any tips, that you'd like to share with us about your journey?

That's great! 7lbs is nothing. You'll do that, no problem.

5 years is quite an accomplishment, by the way. Good work.

between 95 and 100

Great job Jen! How did you do it?

fengshway · 05-04-2007, 04:25 AM

4 pounds? That's right around the corner.

James Newman · 05-12-2007, 09:06 AM

Way to go Feng and Jen. LD is right, 4 lbs is not very far.... I wouldn't be surprised if it is like 2 or 3 by now...

26-50. About 25 all at once, and smaller, lesser amounts since then.

My problem is that right now I am light enough to get by as looking generally decent for an older American guy, somewhat fit, but certainly not buff by any stretch of the imagination, able to perform well enough in my martial arts. So, the initial motivation I had to drop the initial 25 was really high. Now, I think it's the loss of social eating opportunities that I'm not willing to forsake. I can't get myself to dedicate to get to the next level (that looking more buff, 12% or less bf place).

I'd also lost a chunk of weight as a teen, before gaining weight again in college. Then losing it later in college, but then gaining it again after getting married. It seems I didn't want to permanantly part with that 25-30 pounds. LOL Now I'm parted from it, but the remaining 15 or so to be noticeably leaner is something that's eluding me, probably more mental than physical. Who knows, though: maybe I'd better get my T levels checked.

Good topic.

Good topic.

Even after meeting you, I never would have guessed that you were ever heavy. How would one guess that, I wonder... But, I've always pictured you being as slim as you are.

Maybe it was the smooth and effortless front squats that threw me. And, when you totally pinned Chris (Kuri) to the floor, absolutely destroying a man weighing 50lbs more than you!

I just assumed that you were this naturally athletic type with one of those metabolisms that let's you eat all you want and never gain an ounce. Now, I don't hate you anymore...

Chris Correia · 05-14-2007, 10:07 AM

Thanks for the affirmation, Roland.

Shit, man, I'm the complete opposite of naturally athletic and high metabolism. I guess sticking with the martial arts for 13 plus years does something (even if I was a fat martial artist for a while).

Slim is a kind word. Given how soft I am and my actual body fat percentage, skinny-fat perhaps better applies. LOL

Don't mention that pinning Chris thing around too much. I think it's a sore spot with him.

New to here.....

I have lost 56 lbs over the last couple of years and kept it off. I started regular lifting back in February and have made major progress in recompositioning my body in the last 4 months. Overall I've lost 20.25 inches in the last 4 months.

I just started NROL breakin on Saturday. That is on the schedule for the next 3 weeks.

James Newman · 05-21-2007, 08:58 AM

Welcome Paula. Great work on your gains (losses).

Stick around, and keep us posted on your progress and how you achieved your results.

The last set of progress pictures such as they are

fengshway · 05-26-2007, 06:33 AM

hey, just an update. I am less than 3 pounds from my first goal of 160. truth be told, I would like to get to 150, maybe even 140.

James Newman · 05-26-2007, 09:25 AM

Way to be Fengshway! Will you be participating in our little 61 Day Challenge? You might have some fun setting some different goals to help you achieve that.

PS Paula....you're making some progress! How do you feel?

SpacecityPaula · 05-26-2007, 10:32 AM

I feel good... I actually put all my weights into Fitday this week and noticed a pattern in how I lose. I drop then I gain a bit back... hold on to it for a few weeks and then drop again. I spent a lot of time last night looking at my numbers, and there isn't anything I'm doing other than being consistent in exercise and calorie intake.
