Okay, I’m back…it’s been a while. I haven’t worked out very much. I haven’t counted my calories. I’ve over eaten. I’ve eaten lots of chocolate. I’m afraid of the scale.
But I’m back. I worked out today with the cycle class and did 20 min on the stairmaster. I’m going to count my calories today and I’m going to keep working out and being active. And this time next year, I will be less than 200 lbs. And what a day that will be. I can’t wait!

LOOKING AND FEELING TRIMMER, WICHITALK'S WEIGHT-LOSS CHALLENGE TEAM MEMBERS SAY THEY'LL CONTINUE THEIR EFFORTS
They're disappointed -- and delighted. They missed their combined goal by nearly 50 pounds -- but they say that without the WichiTalk Weight-Loss Challenge, they wouldn't have lost the 107 ½ pounds they did. Their faces and bodies definitely show the results of their efforts. In September, WichiTalk introduced six Wichitans who agreed to go public with their three-month effort to lose weight. They set their own goals and decided what approach to use.
This is the final report on the group, just in time to help you think about the pitfalls and successes ahead if losing weight is one of your New Year's resolutions. Watch for more advice to help you along, beginning in the Jan. 2 WichiTalk.
The first advice from our team members: Enlist a friend or two. All six said being part of a group made it easier to stick with their efforts, even though they got together only twice -- at the beginning and the end.

Tom Allen
Bio: Age 43. Married with three children. Teacher and coach at
Goal: 40 pounds. Lost 10.
Weekends and the "battle with snacks" kept him from losing more. He has begun to work out and hopes to continue to "improve my health at a slow and steady pace."
His advice: "Most important is to find a way to motivate yourself, and work to be a better you."
Jamie Goltz
Bio: Age 23. Married. Does secretarial-clerical work for Army National Guard.
Goal: 25 to 30 pounds. Lost 30, in part because she got sick.
With her doctor's permission, she wants to continue losing a pound here and there as her pregnancy progresses. Her baby is due in May, and her doctor told her that the heavier she is, the harder it will be to deliver.
Her advice: Go with what you believe in, and don't try to overdo it. Read labels and watch portion sizes.
Toni Harden
Bio: Age 46. Single with two children.
Goal: 20 to 30 pounds. Lost 11.
She will continue to work out daily and to try to lose more, by counting calories and watching fat intake. "Working out first thing in the morning seems to be the best for me."
Her advice: Plan before you eat. Take the extra time to plan your meals for the whole week, and plan snacks, too.
Crystal Iseman
Bio: Age 26. Married, three children. Stay-at-home mom, day-care provider and college student.
Goal: 25 pounds. Lost 18 ½.
Losing weight was easy at first -- as time went on, not gaining became reason to celebrate. "I have realized that I am doing much better just losing a pound or so a week, so it doesn't feel like I am depriving myself."
Her advice: Find a weight-loss buddy. Take a few days off if you're getting burned out -- but don't overdo it. Focus on size instead of the scale: "Size can change quite a bit without the scale moving much, because of working out." Enlist the support of your spouse, friends and family.
Andrea McClellan
Bio: Age 31. Married with two children. Stay-at-home mom.
Goal: 25 pounds. Lost 15.
"I am doing it right this time around." The weight is staying off, and "If it takes me two more months to slowly reach my goal, that is fine with me." As a result of losing weight, she's using her inhaler less often for her asthma. "How awesome is that?"
Her advice: Set your mind to it. Only you can be in charge of the weight loss. Listen to the voice in the back of your head that says, "Don't eat that! What about all the hard work you did today?" Don't listen when it says, "Boy, I sure would like to eat that last piece of pie." At the drive-through, get a kids' meal with apples instead of fries (skip the dipping sauce) and give the toy to someone special -- yourself!
Ken Rawson
Bio: Age 30. Married with three children. Director of student ministries at
Goal: 15 pounds. Lost 23.
Waking up early to work out was tough. Keeping a food journal and counting calories was inconvenient. But it worked. He has signed up for the KSN/Play It Again Sports Biggest Loser Competition (see box) and will keep doing what he has been doing.
His advice: Get involved with a group or friend, and join a message board. Keep a food log. Count calories. Get a workout DVD. Get off the couch: "Anything that you do is better than nothing." You may not lose as much as the people on TV, but "the feeling of fitting in my clothes, moving my belt another notch, feeling great, living a healthier life for my kids and sweet wife, and watching the man on the inside slowly emerge from the man on the outside have been the greatest rewards so far."

Subject: See you Monday!
Gang,
I'm getting ready to leave the office for an out-of-town conference but will be back in plenty of time to see you at the Y on Monday -- Central Y, pix at 6:30 p.m. SHARP (if I have my way). I'll try to be there by 6.
PLEASE WEAR something you couldn't before or something you just feel great in. We decided boxy red T-shirts wouldn't be the best way to show off the new you!
Here's your homework. I'd love for you to e-mail me your responses sometime Monday or bring a printout with you. If not, you get to stay after class to chat with me!
1. How much did you lose? (Weigh anytime Monday for the final number). How did that compare with your goal?
[Ken Rawson] I lost a total of 23 pounds. I gained three pounds during the Thanksgiving holiday and lost those three pounds last week. So I’m still at 23. My goal was 15 so I feel great that I made my goal. I wish I would have treated this more seriously and really tried to lose as much as I could have. But losing weight is really so difficult!
2. How hard was it to lose weight? Did being part of this group make it harder or easier? Why?
[Ken Rawson] Waking up every morning at
3. Where do you go from here? Are you going to try to lose more, maintain what you've lost, or dig into something you've denied yourself for the past three months? What have you learned about what you need to do? (See Ken's blog, below)
[Ken Rawson] As previously noted I’ve joined the YMCA’s
4. What advice do you have for readers? This is the part I'd really like you to focus on, because this wrapup will also have sort of a "here's help for making your own New Year's resolutions" feel to it.
[Ken Rawson] 1. Join the Biggest loser challenge with KSN and Play it Again Sports. Just don’t lose as much weight as me so I can win the money. My sweet wife and I would like to adopt a baby and could really use that $5,000. So if you join, please sabotage yourself for my sake. I’ll really appreciate it.
2. Get involved with a group or find a friend to do this with. I’ve been doing a cycling class on Tuesdays and Thursdays with the Y and more times than they probably know, their encouragement, camaraderie, and friendship has been the motivation I needed to go workout.
3. Keep a food log and count your calories. Whenever I don’t do this, I slip up. I’ll eat stuff without thinking about it and I’ll eat bad stuff that won’t help me achieve my goal.
4. Get a workout DVD. Sure I look like a dork and I feel like a complete idiot doing exercise videos at home, but after I lose 400 calories and am a sweaty mess, I’m feeling pretty dang good!
5. Join a message board on the internet. Two message boards that I check out are http://boards.nbc.com/nbc/index.php?showforum=19 and http://boards.webmd.com/webx?50@103.ya6QaGyAP2D.3@.5987f41f. The first one is for the tv show The Biggest Loser and the second one is from WebMD. You’d be amazed at the stories out there of people who have really lost weight and become healthy. It’s so encouraging!!!
6. Get off the couch. Really. Just do something. Anything that you do is better than doing nothing. If you lose one measly pound a week, after a year, it looks pretty good! Take the stairs instead of the elevator, eat an orange instead of a bag of chips, skip the bread at Carabba’s, build a snowman with your kids, play with your spouse, whatever!
5. Anything else?
[Ken Rawson] While losing 23 pounds has not been as earth shattering as the people on the TV show “The Biggest Loser” the feeling of fitting in my clothes, moving my belt another notch, feeling great, living a healthier life for my kids and sweet wife, and watching the man on the inside slowly emerge from the man on the outside have been the greatest rewards so far. Thank you for taking a chance on this story and giving me an opportunity to not just share my life with other people, but providing the impetus of change that was so needed.
You rock!
Ken
If you haven't looked at Ken's blog lately, check it out. I especially liked this paragraph:
The bad news: Last time I weighed in, I was at 259. Today I am 262. That sucks. I wasn’t planning on gaining weight back. But I only worked out 3 times and I didn’t count my calories and I ate when stressed. I know better. If I don’t count calories, if I don’t physically write it down, I can’t control myself. And when I’m stressed, I need better methods of relief. I’m amazed at how weak willed I am and how easily I’ll go back to my fat self if I don’t take this seriously.
I don't see Ken as weak-willed at all -- and I am delighted at the insight he has about the necessity to take health seriously, and about what he needs to do to get there.
You all have been awesome. Thanks for all your help -- and see you Monday!
Karen
Well, the 40 days are officially over. And in those 40 days I lost 20 lbs.
The bad news: Last time I weighed in, I was at 259. Today I am 262. That sucks. I wasn’t planning on gaining weight back. But I only worked out 3 times and I didn’t count my calories and I ate when stressed. I know better. If I don’t count calories, if I don’t physically write it down, I can’t control myself. And when I’m stressed, I need better methods of relief. I’m amazed at how weak willed I am and how easily I’ll go back to my fat self if I don’t take this seriously.
The good news: I still have one more week to really do well. I worked out this morning. I’m gonna try to do 2 workouts each day including Sat and Sun and I still have Monday before our pic. I’d still love, LOVE to weigh 248, that would mean 40 pounds since the summer, and that would rock.
Matthew McNutt is the youth pastor from
Man, what a great feeling to be taking initiative! Last night, even though it was
When I first started coming to the Y and especially the spin class, man it was kicking my butt! Today I got in there early to test out bikes (they all have different resistance tendencies) to find one that would not be easy. So I picked the hardest out of three and it was STILL easy. So today, I took initiative and instead of letting the class direct my speed and effort, I led out and worked my butt off and it was GREAT.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I wasn’t leading the class and no one was checking me out, going, “Check out Ken, he is rocking today!” But by myself I knew I was really pushing it and that was cool. So I busted out 500 calories in 40 minutes!
One hour and 45 minutes.
01:45
That’s how long it takes for me to walk, from my desk, to the Y, change clothes, gear up, stretch out, do cardio for 60 minutes, shower, dress, and walk back to the church.
That’s a big chunk of the day to dedicate to losing weight. That’s a lot to ask. And that’s why it is DEFINITELY easier to do in the morning before work. Most people aren’t willing to give up 2 hours of their day OR MORE (I mean, we aren’t even talking about any strength training!) just to lose weight. It’s easier to drink a supplement, fast, or walk. But maybe not better. Of course, doing something is better than doing nothing.
Well, 34 days into this and it’s been a great ride. This last week my parents were here for four days so I didn’t do too well, eating or exercising. But I’m back today. I’m gonna do some work then head on over to the Y.
Also, this whole thing is ending on Dec. 4th so I still have 15 days. I’d like to break the 250 mark. That’s only 10 lbs. Can I do 10 lbs in 15 days? I think so!!!!! It’d be so great to weigh less than 250. That’d be sweet. So that’s what I’m looking at!
Sean, you rock! We’ll get doing this thing together.
Alright, here is what I gave Karen at the Eagle. When it comes out in the paper I’ll post it.
1) How much have you lost?
[Ken] 23 pounds!!!!! (really, in the last 28 days! You don't have to print that ;^) )
2) How are you going to get through Thanksgiving? (If it's at your house, what will you do differently? If you're going someplace, what will you do to keep from undoing all your hard work?)
[Ken] I'm going to keep doing what's been getting me here, counting my calories and keeping it to 1500, choosing wisely which means smaller portions and healthier options, and exercising for 45-90 minutes each day! I also joined the YMCA's battle of the bulge to help keep me accountable too through the holidays and the year.
3) What have you "discovered" that helps with the weight-loss journey? I've found that Starbucks Low-Fat Frappucino Bars will get me through a chocolate fix. My editor, who has been slowly losing for quite a while now, said salsa and Egg Beaters (for lack of a better generic term) are her salvation. What things have you "discovered"?
[Ken] I eat this Quaker brand weight loss oatmeal in the morning and it keeps me satisfied until I eat lunch. Also Olive Garden has a Chicken Giardino that is REALLY good and low in calories. Spangle's has a 40 calorie sugar free jell-o, I just wish it was less than a buck! And Spangle's fat free chicken on pita, is okay too. Subway is a good lunch too. There are all kinds of great options available for anyone who wants to do this!
Four more pounds, baby!!!! Yeah!!!! I need to send in a report to the Wichita Eagle today on my latest weight loss so I weighed in two days early. That makes 23 pounds through this competition (in the last 29 days) and 29 pounds total!
Oh yeah, and I did my usual Bobby Reed today.
And I almost forgot, over the last 8 days, I missed three days because of that running crap, and a Sunday, and I didn't keep my food log all that well, but I did try to eat well. So I feel pretty good about that!
On the Biggest Loser last week the at home contestants, two of them, made it back to the ranch. And the big point they were trying to say is that while they lost a ton of weight, they weren’t nearly as strong as the Ranchers. One of the things this dude named marty did was he grabbed this half ball like thing and was doing push ups with it. I don’t know how to describe this thing other than it is half an exerball on a plastic platform. Let me see if I can find a pic…
So Marty has it upside down and he’s grabbing it and doing push ups while Bob is saying, “Pop it!!! Make it POP!” as in not literally but bounce back, really push hard off of it and get up in the air. Needlesstosay, the at home guy, Jaron, has a tough time with it and the other guys are like, “Dude, we were so there when we got started. It’s no big deal.”
Then I’m watching the Biggest Loser exercise video extras and it has Suzy from the first season struggling to do this.
Okay, back to today…
I’m in the Spin class and there is one of those exerball things and I decide that I’m gonna try it. So after my work out I go into the empty room. I get on my knees. I turn the exerball thing over and get into the push up position.
I “pop” it.
I did it! Eh, no big deal. I must be better off than all those guys who couldn’t even do it once. Let me see…I’ll try it again…
I “pop” it, again.
This time, when I landed, my sweaty left hand slipped off and my elbow and pinky CRASH into the floor and the exerball thing hits me in the face!
Ah, so freaking hilarious! If only it could have been caught on tape, I’d had made Youtube hall of fame.
Even though I only got 4 hours of sleep last night, I still made it to Spin Class and busted out the bike. After that I did 30 minutes on the new EFX machines…ooh, nice. Tomorrow I need to give an update to the Eagle so I’m going to weigh in 2 days early. We take our last pic on Dec. 5th so that still gives me another couple weeks to drop more weight!!!
I’m not expecting a big jump on the scales for this last 8 day period, but anything will be great!
Lastly, I went out to BBQ today and did great! Usually eating out is a killer as I can’t control myself. Instead I had a salad with pulled pork with fat free ranch dressing. The only bad thing was the sprinkle of cheese on the salad, but other than that, I rocked.
So I see the Y trainer today, I think her name is Melissa. Anyway, she stops by and says, “Hey, you took a week off!” So I tell her the whole story. After my hour is up I’m walking back and I stop by and I ask her, “Why, when I ran, I kept my heart rate up and exerted the exact same amount of energy during my little walk/run thing and I burned the same 750 calories, which is what I do every day, why did it hurt so freaking bad? Why did running on the ground make it so difficult if I did the same amount of work? It doesn’t make sense!”
She explained that it’s a lot easier in the gym, even the treadmill has lots of give, so it’s easier to exercise. My thought is SCREW THAT, I’m never running outside again, that is freaking ridiculous!!! She laughed and said, “It’s really hard on your joints. You just need to lose a little more weight and running will be great.”
I looked at her and said, “A little weight? Yeah right! How about a
Good times. Fat men should not run.
Well, running took it out of me! Thursday, Friday, and most of the day Saturday I spent limping around. My legs were absolutely killing me. I was dropping Advil like it was Halloween candy but to no effect!
So I didn’t exercise. I didn’t even realize till Friday that I still could have done some upperbody weight training even though my legs were killing me. Of course, at
And my eating sucked. Which is bittersweet. I found out that I’m really not missing much with my new healthy plan of eating. The other food didn’t satisfy like I thought it would. It was just…heavy.
So I hit the ol’ oatmeal this morning and an hour and 750 calories of cardio. I so didn’t want to do it. I was just dreading it. Even to the point of stepping on the treadmill I was trying to talk myself out of it. But I didn’t. And I felt great. It’s good to be back.
This Wednesday I turn in another update to the Wichita Eagle so that’ll be fun. I doubt I’ve lost much more weight since the past four days have sucked, but every pound counts and I feel great!
Dude!!!! Yesterday I missed the gym because I overslept. And for some reason I had some motivation last night to do some running. So I strapped on the POLAR and did some running! I did interval running, of running for 1 ½ minutes and walking for 1 ½ minutes…not because I wanted to but because that’s pretty much all I had in me.
Nevertheless, my legs were KILLING me and they still are TODAY! Dude, running on ground instead of a treadmill is SO much harder!!! Nevertheless, an hour of running and exercising and keeping my heart rate up still only equals 754 calories burned.
Then this morning I did the ol’ Bobby Reed plus 15 min on the ARC trainer and while it was so much easier than last night, still an hour only nets me 750 calories burned. Weird.
Yesterday was the official 20th day of my 40 days of Fitness. And I lost another 6 pounds!
So, that is…
6 lbs in the last 10 days
19 lbs in the last 20 days
25 lbs since I began this blog.
I never thought 263 would be a good number…
Of course, it almost wasn’t. I almost didn’t make it today. Last night, after we put the kids to bed, we watched the taped episode of Biggest Loser. Then it was
I woke up at midnight. Got off the couch. And set my alarm for…yeah right…4:45 AM. It’s the thought that counts.
Working out won! I got to the gym and hit my cycling class! I am the man.
I got the Polar watch yesterday and brought it to the cycling class. Other than feeling like I’m wearing a bra, it was cool. My heart rate monitor was cool the whole time and I got to see how hard I was pushing it. At one point I was just hovering around 158…and then 160…so I kicked it up and tried to get to 165. It didn’t work. But then, I hit it! And I hit even more. And the coolest thing about the watch (so far) is that when I was done it had my high of 167 and my average of 152. So cool. Don’t know if I’ll keep it yet, but so far it was pretty stinking cool.
Sidebar: The watch barely fits my wrist. Now, I know I’m a fatty, but please, make a watch for the fat guys to wear!!!
So according to this Jillian chick I’m supposed to work out at 85% which would be a HRL of 166.
After completing the Bob Reed, I hit the treadmill for another 15 minutes. I set the mode to Heart Rate, which means that you set the heart rate and it will work you up to that heart rate and keep you there. So this is my chance to feel what 166 is like.
Uh…yeah right. I couldn’t even get my heart rate up to 160 without having to jump off. I don’t know what I’m going to do, but it’s gonna be a while till I can get up to 85%.
Almost didn’t make it this morning. Jen and I worked really hard last night and didn’t get to bed till Midnight. I woke up at
So my son wakes me up at
So I went to the Y and busted out the original Bobby Reed (hill level 10 on the ARC for 45 minutes). I can’t wait to weigh in!!!
So I kicked but in the cycling class and really pushed it hard. All I had to eat was oatmeal and light fare at chipotle. When I got home Jen was cooking meatballs. Man, she is such a good cook! She was very patient and kind and loving while I tried to figure out how many calories was in each meatball. After what seemed like eternity it came out to around 122 calories each. Knowing that including the banana I was munching on right then, I still had 800 some odd calories for dinner. So at first I decided that I could have 6 meatballs. But I want some green beans and they are cheap. But then came the decision:
Sidebar: We have this great family at church named the Williams’. Their oldest daughter Cassia makes some mean bread called Bird Seed Bread. Man, it is so good! The bread makes a mess, but it’s hard to beat toasted with butter. Being that it is homemade bread I don’t have a clue how many calories are in it. I looked at our butter and it’s 70 calories for 1 TB. So I figure I can get away with 1 tsp for 1/3 of the calories…uhhh….no. I don’t think so.
So here I am with a 200 calorie awesome bread and butter. Well, I have to have one so I decide I’ll only have 5 meatballs. But I still have the green beans to account for so I’ll only have 4 meatballs.
I put three on my plate. Polish them off, the bird seed toast, and about 2 cups of green beans. I count up my calories. I’m still under. I can squeeze in a meatball or I can go over with toast…
So I made the decision. Toast. I’m sure it wasn’t the wisest choice, but I think I would have cried and felt the restriction. I think it was a little mini battle won of rewarding myself. Yesterday completed the first time ever that I had exercised 5 out of 7 days and kept myself to 1500 calories each day. Hooray. My reward is toast.
So today is Day 7 and I exercised this morning with the cycling class and pushed it hard. Tomorrow will be the first week that I’ve ever worked out 5 out of 7 days and kept my calories to 1500 each day. I so want to see what my total is so far. Yesterday someone said that they can really tell that I’ve lost weight. I love hearing that. But I’m going to wait. I got 40 days. I’ll weigh in on the 10th day so I can get a bigger pay off. But I’m anxious!
Day six is done! I still haven’t been able to pull a McNutt and exercise 90 min in the morning and an additional 60 min in the evening, but once again, I busted out some upper body work and an hour of cardio and I ate well! Even busted out McDonald’s and got an ice cream, asian crispy chicken salad with light Italian dressing, and I still had 100 calories to spare for the day.
My evil temptress wife tried to reward me with a cookie when we got home, but I refused!
I need some definitive answers on the Heart Rate Target and exercising. I was set to buy the Polar watch but cancelled my order out of confusion!
Here’s the issue:
Allegedly if you work out at 55%-80% of your Heart Rate (other websites say a little different number) 50% of your calories burned come from stored fat. If you work out 80-90% it goes down to 35% of your calories coming from stored fat and the other comes from quickly replaced calories or gluten or something from somewhere else. So the idea is to work out at a less strenuous level and you’ll lose the fat. This is what Polar says, but of course, they are selling the heart rate monitor. And it’s what “the gym” says, but of course they’d like you to work out longer, spend more time there, purchase more services, make you feel like you need them.
Is this a conspiracy?
Other websites I found yesterday talk about yes it’s true, but if you are wanting to lose weight, then you need to work out harder, because it’s all about calories burned. While most of the calories may come from other Carbs that are easily replaceable, you burn the same amount of fat, whether it’s 30% or 50%.
Here’s just one of the many sites that you can get by googling “Myth of Fat Burning Zone.”
So what do I do? I want to get the most bang for my buck when I’m working out. I also don’t want to kill myself if #1 I’m going to hate excercising, #2 I’m not going to burn more fat.
Is there a clear answer?
(Of course, if anyone read this blog, that’d help. I did add it to my signature in the biggest loser message board, so we’ll see. I also posted a similar question there.)
UPDATE: I did get a quick response from the Biggest Loser MSG board. Which directed me to amazon.com to read an excerpt out of former BL trainer, Jillian.
She says, that the fat burning zone is a myth. And when it comes down to it, to burn as many calories as possible.
She says to work out at the 85% level, which for me would be 166. Whoa! I excercised this morning and tried to keep it to 140ish. Maybe I need to buy the watch anyway...
For further reference the book is "Winning by Losing: Drop the Weight, Change your Life" by Jillian Michaels. Pages 152-154.
Okay, I’m buying into the brainwashing. I felt great today exercising. Like I could have done it for hours. I’ve heard of Runner’s High, but maybe I hit the fat guy high. I don’t know, it was easy. Worked out the chest again since it was fully recovered and did an hour of cardio. I feel great! Brought a ½ sandwich and a smoothie to work.
Alright! Day 5 is done! No exercise. My hamstrings were still retreating, but finally my chest was good. Did great with eating!
Had Chipotle for dinner. And I really tried to do well. Two servings of chicken, two servings of their fajita mix, and one serving of the corn salsa.
Well, Chipotle is super fat in the first place. We’re talking 1000 calories plus for a burrito. So I skipped the tortilla and rice and cheese. Pretty good right? Not really.
Their fajita mix is 100 calories. Dude, obviously I’m getting more than green bell peppers and onions! And the Corn Salsa was 100 calories! Dude, that is the last time I get that. Usually salsa is a freebie. You can have tons and it’s like 15-50 calories. The chicken was 219 calories, twice, so a total of 738 calories. 100 more than I was wanting to end the day, but still good. And I had a banana as a snack. Yep, over my count, but still, that’s good for a snack! Still sub 2K.
