How to Get Abs Progress Pics – Lights Out week

FitBuff Brandon — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 16:08:25 +0000

After posting her pics here on FitBuff for the last few weeks, Alley decided to start her own website, so her progress pics and stats on now on her new health and fitness blog here:

Athletic Alley

Here are this week's progress pictures and measurements for me…

Weight: 189.4 pounds (+1.4lb from last week)
Waist: 33 inches (-0.1" from last week)

As you may or may not have noticed, the house of FitBuff is in a bit of disarray this week, and these progress pics and measurements are actually exact duplicates of last week.

There have been some electrical problems that have cut power to parts of the house, so we're sorting those out, and will be back to our regularly scheduled progress updates next week…

Weight: 189.4 pounds (+1.4lb from last week)

This week was still far from perfect, but at least our measurements didn't suffer much.

Maybe, it was because most of our dietary excursions were at relatively healthy places, like Pizza Fusion and Jason's Deli.

Pizza Fusion was awesome, and Alley has a great picture-filled post of it here, so check it out to see the people and pizza there and us enjoying it!

Progress Pics – Alley Gets Her Own Site

Athletic Alley

Here are this week's progress pictures and measurements for me…

Weight: 188.0 pounds (+1.2lb from last week)
Waist: 33.1 inches (-0.9" from last week)

While this week still wasn't quite up to par, as we readjust to "civilian life" back at home and off the road, it was still a big improvement.

I managed to gain another pound, and we're going to get back to regular working out this week, which will start building back the muscle, now that I've gotten better at getting enough calories on a vegetarian diet.

We just got back in town from our week-long Myrtle Beach trip. With it being much longer than our recent Vegas trip, there was more time for bad eating and temptation.

The results weren't terrible, but definitely a setback that we're ready to start correcting!

Here are this week's progress pictures and measurements…

Alley

Weight: 140.4 pounds (+0.8lb from last week)
Waist: 29.1 inches (+0.4" from last week)

Japanese food is my weakness, and Myrtle Beach has my favorite hibachi restaurant of all time, so yes, I ate there every single day!

I miss the food, but I don't miss the weight gain that comes with it, so I'm ready to get back on track now that we're home for a while this time.

Brandon

Weight: 186.8 pounds (+1.2lb from last week)
Waist: 32.2 inches (-0.2" from last week)

I only ate Japanese food twice and tried to stick more to the cooler of food we brought with us, so I managed to add about a pound, while dropping in my waist.

Now if I can just get back on track with the workouts now that we're home, I'll start adding muscle again, now that I'm starting to get better and more experienced at eating on a vegetarian diet.

Alley and Brandon Censored Pictures – Myrtle Beach trip

FitBuff Brandon — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 17:46:17 +0000

We barely got settled back in from our Vegas trip, and it was already time to head out for another trip to Myrtle Beach.

It was much easier to eat healthier in Vegas with all the organic options and restaurants, since there's barely even an organic or natural food store here in Myrtle Beach.

We also forgot the camera, so the measurements below are updated, but they are still last week's progress pictures.

Here are this week's progress pictures and measurements…

Alley

Weight: 137.8 pounds (+1.8lb from last week)
Waist: 28.7 inches (+0.8" from last week)

I know the Myrtle Beach area very well, so I have a lot of favorite restaurants, and I've sampled a little too much.

I did manage to forgo all the meat options, even at my favorite Japanese steakhouse, but I clearly indulged more than I thought, as I gained almost 2 pounds.

I'll enjoy the rest of my time here, but I'm ready to get home and get the numbers moving back in the right direction.

Brandon

Weight: 185.6 pounds (+2.2lb from last week)
Waist: 32.4 inches (-0.6" from last week)

I've had the opposite experience from Alley. I was finally figuring out what and how much I needed to be eating and was up to 191-192 before we left for Myrtle Beach.

Then, once we got here, I've been a lot more strict on sticking to the organic food, so I've been eating almost exclusively from the big cooler of food we brought with us.

Apparently, I wasn't eating quite enough of the food from the cooler though, since I dropped another 2 pounds.

I'm definitely ready to get home and get back to our regularly scheduled eating!

Alley and Brandon Censored Pictures – What happened in Vegas?

FitBuff Brandon — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 18:56:20 +0000

Las Vegas was awesome, and we did a lot, including eating!

It was nice to finally have a few organic restaurant options. First, we tried an Indian organic restaurant which was amazing.

Then, there was an even better organic spot in the Venetian/Palazzo, and we ended our trip with a visit to Jason's Deli.

Here are this week's progress pictures and measurements…

Alley

Weight: 137.8 pounds (-0.4lb from last week)
Waist: 28.7 inches (-0.55" from last week)

I didn't work out at all while in Vegas, and I ate more meat than I have in a while.

Luckily, as soon as I got home, I fell right back into my workout and sauna routine and was able to erase the damages, and even lose almost an extra half of a pound from last week!

Brandon

Weight: 187.8 pounds (-0.2lb from last week)
Waist: 33.0 inches (+0.15" from last week)

Vegas was great, and the organic food was amazing, plus really cool to be able to eat out.

I only lost 0.2 pounds, so I'm beginning to find the right balance of new calories and food sources, though I'm still experimenting.

FitBuff Brandon — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 16:58:23 +0000

I can't even remember the last time we had meat, and even more surprising, I can't remember the last time we wanted any either.

As we continue to get closer and closer to our goals, watching the progress and results just makes it easier and easier.

We're leaving for Vegas in the morning, staying 3 days and 4 nights, and we can't wait to try out the large assortment of vegan/vegetarian restaurants. The west coast has the east coast beat, hands down, when it comes to healthy eating options and awareness.

Here are this week's progress pictures and measurements…

Alley

Weight: 138.2 pounds (-1.4lb from last week)
Waist: 29.25 inches (+0.25" from last week)

Even though I only lost 1.4 pounds this week, this may be the most surprising and encouraging week yet, since Aunt Flo' is in town, and she usually brings at least 3 to 4 pounds of baggage with her :)

To think that not only did I not put on that much, but I actually LOST weight for the first time that I can remember is amazing!

SO excited for Vegas, can't wait!

Brandon

Weight: 188.0 pounds (-1.2lb from last week)
Waist: 32.85 inches (-0.05" from last week)

I lost a little more weight than I wanted to this week, but we are constantly adding new meals and snacks to our new eating habits, so I've got a lot more options for extra calories.

And, considering I don't seem to be losing any strength gains in my workouts, and actually setting a few new recent personal bests, with just a few more tweaks, I'll be right on track.

Alley and Brandon Censored Pics – Vegetarian/Vegan Results

FitBuff Brandon — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 18:28:13 +0000

Setting and printing out our goals has been a huge success, and I highly recommend it for anyone trying to accomplish anything.

Having that daily reminder and motivation has really picked up the pace on our progress.

We also went almost completely vegetarian this week, and even vegan on several meals, as we transition into it more and more.

This week's numbers and updated progress pictures are below…

Alley

Weight: 139.6 pounds (-2.0lb from last week)
Waist: 28.75 inches (-0.15" from last week)

I can't believe I lost another full 2 pounds for the second week in a row. It's amazing that I'm eating a lot of incredible food, not starving myself, and still watching the pounds and inches melt away!

Brandon

Weight: 189.2 pounds (-0.8lb from last week)
Waist: 32.9 inches (-0.3" from last week)

I thought going almost completely vegetarian and vegan would have made me drop more weight than I wanted to, so I was excited to see I dropped less than a pound this week, while losing a third of an inch in my waist, getting it to the lowest it's been since I can remember.

Now, the goal is to add muscle, while maintaining low body fat.

Alley and Brandon Censored Pics – Best Results Yet!

FitBuff Brandon — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 23:07:45 +0000

We both set hard, concrete goals this week and even printed them out and posted them on the wall, so it was no surprise that we both had our best results yet this week!

This week's numbers and updated progress pictures are below…

Alley

Weight: 141.6 pounds (-2.2lb from last week)
Waist: 28.9 inches (-1.0" from last week)

I was excited and surprised to lose over 2 pounds and an amazing full inch from my waist! My goal is to be 135 pounds by January 24th.

I stuck to whole, clean foods all week, and did 5 workouts. One of the biggest changes was going completely organic mid-week too.

After seeing "Food, Inc.," it was a no-brainer, and I have no doubt my amazing results will continue, inside and out!

Brandon

Weight: 191.0 pounds (-0.8lb from last week)
Waist: 33.2 inches (-0.4" from last week)

I had awesome results this week, dropping my waist nearly half an inch, while maintaining my weight/muscle. My goal is to get down to a 32.9" waist by January 24th, without losing too much weight.

I just want to drop a few pounds of body fat, while maintaining and/or adding lean mass.

I've tried organic briefly in the past, but with Alley's support, I'm going to stick with it this time. We've had some of the best tasting meals I've ever enjoyed over the last few days, and every single one has been 100% organic!

Alley and Brandon Censored Progress Pics New Year Edition

FitBuff Brandon — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 17:39:52 +0000

The holidays didn't let up and neither did all the food and desserts that come with them!

We overindulged on more than one occasion, but somehow managed to keep the damage minimal.

Alley

Weight: 143.8 pounds (+1.2lb from last week)
Waist: 29.9 inches (+0.3" from last week)

As you can see, I was barely awake when I took these pictures! I ate a lot this week, but I also discovered and tried some great new healthy recipes too.

I still haven't done an official workout in the new year, but I have been getting plenty of "cardio" which appears to be helping offset some of the bad eating ;)

Now, it's back on track time, because I only have 3 weeks until our Las Vegas trip, and my goal is to be 135 pounds by then, which would be the lowest I've been in several months.

Brandon

Weight: 191.8 pounds (+1.4lb from last week)
Waist: 33.6 inches (+0.2" from last week)

I'm glad to have the holiday feasts behind us. Yes, my goal is to gain a little more weight, but I prefer lean mass over body fat.

Like Alley, I'm surprised I didn't gain even more than I did, because I've been pigging out on several holiday goodies, but I guess the extra "cardio" helped me too!

I had a big breakfast this morning, and now I'm doing my first Eat Stop Eat fast in a few months, so I won't eat again until tomorrow morning. Even though it's mostly mental, it will feel good to "clean out" the holiday damage and let my system settle for a little bit, before getting back on track with healthier eating and full workouts.
