Fat Bodies wanted!

[LeonardLawrence]

Sounds like a cheap pick up line, no?

Looking to find several people or poolee wannabes that are motivated to lose weight in some friendly competition with other people in the same situation.

If you have 50+ or more that you want...um....HAVE...to lose to get in the Corps and are interested in some friendly competition please send me a PM and I will give you details and you can see if you are interested.

If you are looking to lose less than 50# then keep your spirits up and keep working on it....you will make it!
For everyone else, just keep on being perfect and disregard:D

Last Christmas Day I weighed 245 lbs. Today, I'm at 157. I ran a 5k Nov 4 in 22:08 2nd in age group 12th out of 64 {age group 40-44 I'm 43. It starts with your heart then your head to your body. Good luck to all!

I should get in on this. My large behind is in pretty good shape but way too much fluff.

For everyone else, just keep on being perfect and disregard:DIt's cruel hard freakin work pard!:cool: Man takes a two week vacation and turns into a fish, an injury or sickness and he atrophy's into a glob of velveeta. A struggle to recondition. Thank pops and grandpops for the work ethic to man up. You poolees got it?

Hey,
Im Jordan Moore! Im 19 years old, and ever since my Uncle came back from Desert Storm and paraded around family reunions and such in his Camies and Dress Blues, Ive always wanted to be a Marine! But I have one big draw back, FAT!!!! I have a slight problem, well not really problem, more of an excuse,I LOVE TO EAT! Last year I was down to 295lbs, and then my mom died! The doctors say in a way I took out my anger and depression on eating! But I got over it now, and I am trying to move on! But I just cant find the right work out! Ive tried working out with REcruiters, but it seems like Every time I get a recruiter thats hardcore enough to help me, and push me! He gets shipped off! So Now Im coming to you for your friendly competition! I will do anything I need to, to get in the Beloved Corps!! Ive worked 2 or 3 jobs around here and been disrespected TOO MUCH!! and I know the Corps will not only get me out of here, but by stepping up, becoming and Marine and earning that Title I will also earn respect! So Lemme know what I need to do, and I will be waiting!! Thanks

You have to want it, but if you do- you can get there.

It isn't a matter of finding the right workout. Everybody's body works the same. If you eat properly and exercise, the fat will go away. Read through this thread (http://www.leatherneck.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29787) and you'll have all the tools you need. Then it is just a matter of doing what needs to be done.

Crossfit is WICKED stuff. We do it, and it has been phased into recruit training. Its awesome.

Yea it is some pretty wicked stuff! hell I love it! it will definatly put a spell on your ass if you stick to it :D !

[CathyGo]

Google "Brand X martial arts" and go to their discussion forum to get scaled versions of the WOD. Join the forum and ask any questions you need answered. The people there are really friendly.

[Echo_Four_Bravo]

I have been doing crossfit for years. It is great stuff. But, as a beginner some of the stuff will be out of reach for you. If you get discouraged easily it may be better to look for something else.

I don't know anything about brand x martial arts or their WOD, but it looks like something worth looking in to further. Thanks

Jordan MooreJordan you and other XXL's should consider getting a complete physical and advice from a professional as to what kind of training you should initially engage in. After awhile you'll know better how to freestyle it and what your capable of, what works and what doesn't. What works for Joe Public half your weight, could present lasting problems for somebody with your mass.

[Echo_Four_Bravo]

That is good advice- but really everyone should get checked by a doctor before starting a workout program. You want to make sure there isn't some hidden problem that could give you problems.

[LeonardLawrence]

Okay all. Let me clarify things.

If you want to participate, I will assume that you have taken the steps to make sure you are healthy. I am not going to give you a PT program, that is up to you and you should know your limits and such.

What we will be doing:
First let me stress that I have no other affiliation with this site, than I saw it and thought it would be a great medium for this:
Check out www.weightlosswars.com (http://www.weightlosswars.com)

It is a site that hosts a message board, stats and keeps track of progress for competitors that want to lose weight. I signed up for a private spot that will be seen only by those of us on the board and will give us the opportunity to talk trash, show and record our progress and motivate each other. Also interested in a free flow of motivation, websites, etc to keep us all on track.

Now, it is costing me a couple bucks for each participant, so I am asking you to sign up after you check out the site and ONLY if you have a serious desire to reach your goals with us.

If you are interested pm me with your email address.

Also, without getting permission, I named our little project the Accord Hurricane project after a Lance Corporal and current poolee who have lost a significant amount of weight and motivated us on the boards here. If you want to be the next sucess story, and this would help you, pm me your email and I will send you an invitation to sign up!:D

[LeonardLawrence]

I have myself and two others....possibly one more.

Any other takers? I am making the cut off date December 1. Until that time you may pm me with your email address to be added.

[LeonardLawrence]

I have a field of four. The official Hurricane-Accord Challenge kicks off at midnight!

I am expecting these folks to be our newest poolees in a few months! :scared:

Nice name. If you want some advice on things PM me and I'll set you straight.

[LeonardLawrence]

Hurricane,
I will accept whatever you want to send. If you want to post publically, do!

If not I pm'ed you with my email the caveat that you must not waste time with it, that you could use to spend time with friends and family...or getting yourself prepared.

[SlingerDun]

well its been a month...Have you all scrapped any fat?

--->Dave

[LeonardLawrence]

Slinger,

Thanks for checking up. There has been some weight loss. We have also figured out we are all busy folks, but things are seeing improvement.

It has been a little less than a month and there has been some weight loss, eyes opened and things look great for the coming year. It took us a bit to get things set up, established, etc.

We have to have good news for when Hurricane comes back.
