I did the "make weight for wrestling" thing, too. That's not what you're shooting for, Kirk.
If you remember, that weight started coming right back the minute you got off the weigh-in scale for the tournament, because that's what you wanted. You hydrated and ate and put on as much weight as you could throughout the tournament.
That's not what you want here at all. You're gonna stall real soon, then weight will come off real slow. I'm just telling you so you don't get let down and give up.
Think of how long it took you to put on the weight. Then figure out what you want to lose. Then get a calculator out and figure a loss of about 1.2 lbs. a week. (If you were a lot heavier, you'd figure 1.6 or 1.8 lbs./week.)
See where you should be in a month and make damn sure you meet that goal. Then see what your next month goal should be, and make damn sure you met that, and so on.
I think Andy started this thread over 2 years ago and there aren't a lot of guys who stuck it out. It's easier to stick it out with realistic, proven goals.
All b1tching aside, you're kicking ass, my brother!!!

You didn't have to bring that up, Scott.






I started it two years ago and I've stalled out plenty of times. But this time I'm pretty much sticking to it and I've shown the most progress over the last 7 months that I have in the past two years.

Yea I know how its supposed to work, but after wrestling for 20 years...you have that built in mentality that weight should come off faster. I know in my head its coming off right...its the little wrestler devil on my shoulder saying THATS IT! RUN FOOL RUN!

We should put a list together of who is 'doing it' and try to help keep each other accountable. If you dont see someone check in for a bit, PM them see hows it going..
