Re: Iím Svelte
I have to agree… this has been one of the most effective (and fun) (and informational) workouts I have come across!
Congrats on the weight loss!
Re: Iím Svelte
AWESOME!!!
I’m stuck between 195lb and 200lb. I’ve been crossfiting recently, I feel like I am getting leaner but not really droping any weight. I’d like to get somewhere between 180 and 190lb. That last 10lbs is killing me.
Oh and little over a year ago I weighed about 250 also Sean so I am right with you buddy. I stopped drink soda all together, watched my suger intake that wasn’t from natural sources. I didn’t go on a diet I just changed my diet. Oh and a little think called exercise and Krav contribured a bit.
Re: Iím Svelte
Kirk,
Is it the number on the scale your going for? Is there a reason to be lighter or are you stuck there and don’t seem to be leaning out? Nothing wrong with being 195-200 if you have low bodyfat.Re: Iím Svelte
GD, you hit the nail on the head. I am having a bit of trouble leaning out my midsection in particular. My back, chest, arms, and legs are getting leaner since I’ve been crossfitting. I think I just need to give it some more time. I am just starting to progress from doing body weight exercises to doing some lifting, like deadlifts, cleans, etc. Well more weight than just Med Balls and dumbbells.
Wednesday I did Helen and thos 55lb KB swings were great! I’m going to give Elizabeth a go tomorrow.
My true goal is to decrease my body weight, i don’t care what the scale says.
Oh and thank you!
Re: Iím Svelte
Kirk,
How you feel and how you move is the important thing. Starting to lift heavy will help, adding muscle will help you have a higher metabolism. All that being said 90% of body composition is diet. Ping me if you want some discuss either.Re: Iím Svelte
Wow! Congrats, Sean! I have to say, I’m a little jealous….seems like every guy I know makes simple diet changes and drops a bunch of weight. We women have it much harder! 🙂 But awesome job for you, nonetheless.

Re: Iím Svelte
I have to say that I am impressed. When I was in patrol, I was a slim 194 and I am 6’4″, now after years of working odd hours, 2 kids, and being injuried in the line of duty three times, all back related, I have tipped the scales at 248. This is the kind of motivation I need. I also need to stop the soda and ice cream before bed and eat better. Hard though given what some of us do for a living.

I lost about 20 pounds initially doing KM (5 came back as muscle). Not changing my diet much, these last 15 haven’t come off (my fault) and I know it’s not easy changing eating habits.
