The Iron and Stone Challenge 2015

[Clint_D]

Being away from home during the holidays and having this available 24/7 free of charge isn't helping my cause:

In the last two weeks, I've slipped up and eaten two slices of Oreo cheesecake and slice of Butterfinger cheesecake.  Delicious yet regretful.

Effin holidays. That and poor lighting in my office make for good motivation.  Damn 92 is too tight today. This is going to be my benchmark shirt

This is the most honest thread I've ever seen.

@Megatron1505:

I only had 3 sausages with my mash today instead of the regulation 4, I also exchanged baked beans for corn….no more Mr Nice guy.

Run miles? 3 sausage instead of 4?? wtf!!! :o

Summer mate, you almost have man boobs there, what did you eat?!

[Megatron1505]

The last Aussie to accuse him of having moobs 

[Snowy]

yeah felt a little bad saying it, dude's usually in ace shape. Good chance Summer's just going into the competition like all his normal racing/activities to win it. Or maybe bad lighting

[gratefulmelon]

Stomach viruses work wonders at losing weight. I haven't eaten in almost two days.

[Maynard Friedman]

Great thread, keep it up fellas, I'm on a health/fitness kick of my own.

[Megatron1505]

I limited myself to 2 Hob Nobs earlier MF, you would have been proud.

[Maynard Friedman]

I am sir, I am…and if they weren't chocolate either, you deserve a bloody medal!

[Megatron1505]

They were not, I shall consider myself rewarded.

[Megatron1505]

4lb down bitches, less sausage, beer and biscuits ftw!

[den1mhead]

Observing this thread with admiration of you guys.
Checking in this morning, to see how you all are doing, whilst enjoying my breakfast;
Coffee
1 KG bar of milk chocolate

Good work @Megatron1505 on your weight loss so far 

[seawolf]

I got on the scale yesterday and I was up four pounds. I haven't eaten any sugar all week, and I've only had two whiskey drinks. wtf? That's ok, going for a run in an hour. Stay tuned!

Yeah, I tore my plantar tendon in Aug and kept re-injuring it. I haven't been able to run, jump, calf raise or lunge in 5 wks. I'm nearly 100% now, but I'm I'm kinda pissed that I didn't adjust my diet sooner.  Oh well.

[summ3rhays]

Great job Mega! Down a few myself.

[gratefulmelon]

Down a few with the help of paleo diet and illness.

Pre-dump

I haven't even started. Too many parties and dinners with friends while in Toronto. Once I get back NYC on Monday, I'll get on track.

this is not abnormal.  don't be afraid/freaked out.  possible explanations
1. you didnt eat enough fiber, and you've got some excess waste inside of you
2. you weighed yourself at different points throughout the day.  for example i'm usually 2 lbs heavier at the end of the day as compared to the morning
3. you have eaten a lot of sodium, which means your body will retain water

unless you ate a bunch of steak/fatty meat/nuts i doubt you actually gained 4 lbs..

also, gaining 4 lbs is an excess of 14000 cals, which is ~94 beers.
or 350 oz of filet mignon.. or 22 lbs of filet mignon
