Roldanis Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 So my company held an unofficial "Biggest Loser" competition running from October 6th through December 22nd (12 weeks.) Prize was a winner takes all cash prize collected from participants with a $20 buy in. After the 12 weeks, guess what has two thumbs and won the competition.... THIS GUY! By the scale at work (we weighed with work clothes on) I went from 224lbs to 193 lbs. A total of 31 lbs or 13.8% body weight lost! During the course of the competition I also started on StrongLifts as a means to get stronger and not just lighter. I've completed 8 weeks of the program (starting week 9 yesterday) and I have been tickled pink by how much better and stronger I feel. Getting up off the floor no longer required grunts or groans. Playing with my daughters is no longer a cardio workout and my wife has appreciated the extra... uh... energy. Now that I am close to my weight goal of 180 lbs (currently 184) I will be pursuing my strength goals of a 2xBW DL 1.5xBW Squat and 1xBW Bench without bulking. As of Monday my working weights were:Bench 110 lbs 5x5Squats 165 lbs 5x5Deads 195 lbs 5x1Rows 115 lbs 5x5OHP 85 lbs 5x5 (Failed at 90lbs 5/5/5/5/3 on Monday) Obligatory Progress Picture 5 Quote 64% 64% Get Deadlift to 405 lbs for 2x6 - Current 260 lbs 2/16/14 Link to comment
