The Iron and Stone Challenge 2015

[Chris]

This one is the best:
8. Try on your jeans once a week to keep track of how you're going

Arguably a better approach than scales – which do not show weight gain from muscle mass, trying on your jeans will show that your waist and hips are cinching in while your butt, like a little sunflower, perks up.

[Graeme]

@Chris, this is the IH forum. I'm sure that most people try their jeans on at least once a day.

[Chris]

Fair point, but how often do we notice that our butt, like a little sunflower, is perking up?

Where y'all fatties at? Weigh day punks!

I lost about half a pound…...damnit.

since i don't have a scale in my crib in switzerland, i need to go out in the morning and buy one…so the following pic is the one i should have uploaded last saturday...just forgot to upload it back then!

[Finn666]

cuz of unknow health/heart problems, i couldn't do my workout as i actually wanted it to…in fact, i did no sports at all the last week
finally went to see the doctor today, got checked (blood pressure, blood sample, upper body x-ray and they even measured my heart rate)...all results are fine, it's just the unknown feeling in my chest that's left.
think i'm going to start working out again on monday...wish me luck

I'll weigh in later. I've actually gained 3 pounds since this started. I've cut back on my booze and food intake, exercised more, yet I'm still gaining weight. Wait, was that the challenge? To gain weight? If so, I'm winning, suckers!! Hahahahahahahah!!!

[gratefulmelon]

I've gained a couple since getting over my stomach virus. Plan to get back on track this week.

[seawolf]

I've had a hard week. I'm saying fuck it today and eating and drinking what I want. Going for a looking run tomorrow to undo tonight's damage. Seems logical, right?

[summ3rhays]

@Finn666, I'm glad it's nothing serious.

I'm at Disneyland and our ghetto hotel doesn't have a scale. I'll have to weigh in when I get back.  I was holding steady for the week. We'll see after a vacation weakend

[xtcclassic]

This is the second week in a row that I've been consistently under 180 through most of the week, only to creep back over 180 on Friday.

@Finn666:

cuz of unknow health/heart problems,

Too much tattooing in too short a time…......

[Finn666]

hahaha…that could be it @Giles

[Seul]

73.4. Going down!..

[Clint_D]

Sorry, checking in a little late.  I've been trying to cut back on the eating and drinking a bit.

[seawolf]

If you can't read that, it says 195.8…...feck.

[summ3rhays]

Effin vacation and I'm back up. I've got to buckle down this week. No more delicious burgers

[den1mhead]

doh…that burgers looks to die for...wish it was in front of me right now 

[seanocono]

Umami. Nice.
