How are you calculating body fat?

June 1:

Height: 6'1"
Starting Weight: 347.4 lbs
Goal: 48 lbs (yikes)

[muu]

Been stable at my weight for a year now, but I'd like to get rid of the remaining gut. Damn thing's been hauting me for years, and despite all attempts it looks little different from 30lbs ago. Mostly going to be a body fat thing, so I'll have to figure out if calipers/etc are an accurate way of measuring this.

Height: 5'7"
Weight: 140lb
Goal: 135lb w/ appreciable loss in body fat

[Style Fox]

Alright official entry,

Height: 6'4''
Weight: 199
Goal: 185 or 10% body fat.

[Battlezone]

Edited my entry weight into my original post.

[pompidu]

Height: 5' 4" Weight: 125 lbs Goal weight: maybe 120, but I want to lose at least 10-15% body fat percentage. Hah, what in the world.

One egg has 71% of your daily cholesterol. Pork has no benefit over meats/poultry.

[Dorrin]

2 years ago I lost 30lbs I've gained half of that back... ugh. Work has been hell lately and I'm not taking care of myself. So maybe this challenge will get me back on track.

June 1st:
Height: 5' 7''

[Garcia el Gringo]

I'm in. I've plateaued for well over a year now. I've become unjustifiably complacent on my dieting and exercising. I've been fluctuating between 165 and 157 pounds since mid-2011.

Gender: Male
Age: 21 years old
Height: 5'9"
Current weight: 164 pounds
Goal weight: 150 pounds

But hey, at my heaviest I was 200 pounds 2 years ago for a couple of months. Once I reached my peak height at age 16 or so, I was always about average weight or slightly overweight, but in 2009-2010 I gained about 30 pounds in just a few months (fast food became so convenient in college and my social life went to shit after high school initially). Stretch marks galore. I lost the weight quicker than I gained it once I really noticed how big I became. So I'm confident I can finally get over this plateau if I apply myself.

[embalm]

I'll jump in too. Just sharing my stats will help keep me motivated. I hope to see everyone here keep it going through the hot summer days.

Height: 6'2"
Starting Weight: 244
Current Weight: 244
Goal weight: 190
Net Weight Loss: 0


I'll be doing Insanity & road biking. Hopefully I can hit a gym and lift some weights too.

[PhoenixSFT]

I'm in, at least GAF will keep me on track:

Gender: Male
Age: 25
Height - 5'11"
Starting Weight: 202 lbs.

1. Dietary cholesterol doesn't impact blood cholesterol. It's a myth. Eat the whole egg, it's good for you. Just watch the calories.

2. Pork IS meat. It's also a fairly lean one (with the appropriate cuts, not bacon). Tasty, cheap, good for you.

[BigBlue1974]

Ok, I'm in. I'll take pics, but won't post those up until the end.

Conflicting reports on the actual "healthness of eggs" Yes lean pork is fine, but taste is sub par.

I think bacon gets a bad rap. I say don't worry about it.

Just eat turkey bacon and turkey sausage if you're going to. Much lower in fat and tastes like bacon.

Love turkey Bacon, Mmmmm

[negreenfield]

Yuck. Turkey bacon is the worst, I agree turkey sausage is pretty good but I have never tasted decent turkey bacon. Compared to a quality pork bacon it's night and day.

WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE

Turkey bacon is great, you just have your mind conditioned to think it needs to taste like pork bacon. Think more of it being a strip of ham or such and you'll like it more. Have you tried Jennie O! 95% lean turkey bacon? That stuff's delicious.

And yes, turkey sausage is great too. This past week I've been using turkey brautwurst and squeezing it out of the casing, and mixing it with onions and broccoli. Marvelous.

If you eat it plain! No one does that.

[Jarlaxle]

All right, I'm in. I'm in a contest here at work anyway since the beginning of May. I've lost 17 pounds so far but have a long, long way to go.

Haha, no worries man, you're not going to convert me, I've tried many brands of turkey bacon and just don't find it very good. But if you enjoy it go for it.

I do try to avoid a lot of the processed pork sausages just because they mess with my system for some reason, the Aidell's brand and others that have less filler don't seem to bother me much so I stick to those.

One egg has 71% of your daily cholesterol. Pork has no benefit over meats/poultry.

As others have said, dietary cholesterol does not equate to blood cholesterol. Personally, I gobble down my eggs yolk and all. While the yolk does have the bulk of the calories and fat, you are also missing out on some nutrients and high-quality protein if you discard. Just watch your calories.

And what's this blasphemous statement about pork? Lean pork can give chicken breasts a run for their money nutritionally-speaking.

[SquiddyCracker]

End of day 1

I've eaten less than 42 carbs today, and thought I'd try to keep up with a low-carb diet for this weight loss challenge.

[Imm0rt4l]

I would join, but I'm already a month and a half deep into my 3 months of weight loss.

[Rel]

Height: 5'4''

I've been working out for a while now without any real changes, so looking to get it into gear. Also haven't really been trying that hard, haha. Managed to get myself capable of running 5k and that's about it. How do I figure out my body fat percentage?

[AlteredBeast]

Only one pop today for me, down from my usual 3. :P

I also had some almonds for lunch and tried to exercise a little bit, despite my hectic schedule.

Not starting off too strong, but its something!

Would you forgive a junior for signing up the morning after your deadline?

Age: 21
Height: 5' 9.5"
Starting Weight: 216
Goal Weight: 199

17 pounds in 90 days, or about 1.3 per week. Reasonable, if I work at it.

[Angry Fork]

I would like a challenge in the opposite direction, people who are skinny and trying to gain muscle.

[Tashi]

Too late to sign up?

I'm way deep into a diet already but I'll keep it up here in public.

Height: 6'4''

[WinoMcCougarstein]

I'll join.

Height: 6'2"
Starting Weight: 234.2 lbs
Target Weight: 200 lbs by August, 190 overall. Though, I wouldn't mind being a ripped 210!

Doing a mix of cardio and free weights and trying to limit carbs to under 100 grams a day.

[ZZMitch]

is there a weight gain thread? im 6"1 and 152 lbs, severely underweight.

If that is severely underweight then I dunno what I am, 6"1 143 lbs heh.

Good luck to you all! If I could give advice as someone who has lost weight (too much I think at this point!), stop drinking soda entirely.
