Brian and Michael have reported in on the original thread, and I'll ask them to post again here to keep it in one place. This single thread will be used to post weight loss and tally results throughout. The title will be edited each week. It will result in a longer thread but will avoid clogging up the MartinFest 2009 section for the benefit of those not interested. The original thread has been closed. I had an exceptionally good week on South Beach. Between Halloween and New Years I somehow managed to put on a lot of weight in a short period of time. That weight is pretty much gone as of this morning, thanks to 7 evening treadmill sessions and following the program. Down -14. As soon as everyone reports in, I'll tally the totals and declare this week's Biggest Loser and Biggest Loser Team. Hop on that scale! I'm going to make breakfast.

Have been working out along with my wife. Boy does she look great. She didn't have any weight to lose, so she's getting quite toned. Not too bad for 54 year old lady. I'm pretty proud of her, we've always been avid hikers, but I've been trying to get her on some resistance excersizes to keep up the muscle mass and bone density, and she's doing great. C'mon blue team, and way to go everybody. RickRN

All diet, no exercise: members of the Drucker family lack the exercise gene, and as such see all exercise equipment as being nothing more than particularly unattractive (and vaguely threatening) sculpture. Come the thaw, though, I plan to go for a short walk two or three times a week. Red Captain David

(01/12/09 7:46 AM) Moderator Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	There is good news and bad news. As of Friday, I was down 9lbs using a modified Atkins with a minimum of excerise as I begin my conditioning. However, as of Monday morning, after a more laxed weekend [a couple of glasses of wine on Friday night and popcorn at the movies Saturday] my overall weight loss was 4lbs. Back at it this week with full attention to the induction phase. Good luck everyone. CONGRATS Dee. This is great news. I am waiting on the rest of the Mahogany Team to check in. Will we be the biggest losers this week????

I'm down 6 lbs doing the south beach and doing my Noridic track and going to the YMCA for the Eliptical machine. I made sure I did 25-30 minutes exercise every day and cut all the carbs for the week one of the south beach. -Tom

Had to interject something, though, for anyone not familiar with The South Beach Diet. At no point in the program do you cut out all carbohydrates. You just teach your body to eliminate cravings for the bad ones, and continue to enjoy the right ones. An excerpt: Good Carbs, Bad Carbs Carbohydrates, foods that contain simple sugars (short chains of sugar molecules) or starches (long chains of sugar molecules), have been blamed for our epidemic of obesity and diabetes. This is only partially true, because there are both good and bad carbohydrates. The good carbs contain the important vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that are essential to our health and that help prevent heart disease and cancer. The bad carbs, which have been consumed by Americans in unprecedented quantities (largely in an attempt to avoids fats), are the ones that have resulted in the fattening of America. Bad carbs are refined carbs, the ones where digestion has begun in factories instead of in our stomachs. The good carbs are the ones humans were designed to consume--the unrefined ones that have contributed to our health since we began eating! Unrefined carbohydrates are found in whole, natural foods, such as whole grains, legumes, rice, and starchy vegetables. They're also called complex carbohydrates, so named for their molecular structure. Besides being packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals, good carbs take longer to digest--a good thing, as you'll soon see. Refined carbohydrates, on the other hand, are found in packaged, processed foods, such as store-bought baked goods, crackers, pasta, and white bread. Refined carbohydrates are made with white flour and contain little or no fiber. In fact, many products made with white flour are advertised as fortified with vitamins and minerals, because the process of turning grain into white flour strips away its fiber and nutrients. One of our South Beach Diet rules is to avoid foods labeled as "fortified." Current evidence is that fortification with vitamins does not recreate the benefits of the natural vitamins that have been removed. Despite the fact that good carbs are a critical part of a healthy diet, the typical American diet is filled with the bad kinds. And when we're overweight as a result of a diet laden with bad carbs, our bodies' ability to process all carbohydrates goes awry. To understand why, you need to understand the role of the hormone insulin. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rhys MartinFest 2009 Unofficial Biggest Loser Challenge Contestant - GREEN TEAM Check out the UMGF Events Calendar !

(01/12/09 10:11 AM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Down 12. First week of a diet, I tend to drop large poundage. Due to cutting out drinking, and white foods. Living on protein and salads and fruit. I'm hoping I can steady down at a couple lbs. a week. Won't be that easy. Go Green!

My own first week total, back in late October, was seven pounds, which I thought was a big deal until a saw your results. Since then I've managed to drop one or two a week, except for the holiday week, during which I added four back.

(01/12/09 11:18 AM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Down 1lb since Dec 5th (5lb since Dec 28). I too was expecting to see a bit more loss on the scale since I'm watching the calories and hitting the gym regularly. My belt buckle already feels a lot less tight. Using slimfast for Breakfast and lunch consists of a Celery, Smoked Salmon and non-fat cream cheeze mixture designed to yield about 350 colories. Evening meals still include a couple of glasses of Cabertnet but I have given up Gin & Tonic. I managed to hit the Gym 5 times out of the past 7 days plus a bonus cross-country ski session yesterday. Very happy with improvements on the Cardio side. Jump rope is core to my Cardio workout along with a mixture of pushups, crunches and fun-times on various instruments of torture. So, 1lb for team Rosewood. Hopefully more this week. However, if I lose 1lb every week between now and Naz I would be well beyond my target.
