Rally Point we all hear about workout challenges all the time well I've started a new one after pcsing to FT Stewart. The three week workout challenge you post your starting weight and hit the gym for at least 45 minutes a day longer if you feel good about it doing any workout but change it each day so you don't double work any group to hard then after post your ending weight I started today I'm 194 nine pounds overweight by army standards by the end I want to be at 180 five pounds below my max today my workout consisted of starting with a 1 1/2 mile jog on elicptical then barbells and weights curls for 30 minutes including two minutes pushups and situps ending with a 3 mile hill run on treadmill at 5.0 to 7.5 mph nonstop im going to keep at it when it's over im challenging some of my friends to do it key to the challenge no preworkout and if you use protein supplements after a workout you can only use a quarter of your normal amount good thing I don't use any this challenge is to work your body itself all muscle so anyone who wants to do it go ahead and challenge your friends and family and coworkers it can only benefit you in the long run

I encourage everyone that's serious about a health and fitness goal to do their best to sleep well, drink plenty of water, and set clear goals with progression milestones. Also, I'll be the first on this thread to state that the BMI is an outdated mess that can be very wrong. I've been Army-overweight my entire Army career, but I've always been 10-13% body fat IAW the tape measure. I've always wanted to do the water tank test, though.

Good for you, SPC (Join to see). Are you challenging the RallyPoint membership to join you on this journey and to post our results? That's not 100% clear to me, but if you are, that's a GREAT idea. I'm about 17 pounds over my Army weight limit (220 and it is (was, at least) 203 when I retired). I'm just about motivated to join you.

@SPC Josh Friar - My experience has been that about 75% of weight loss can be accomplished by eating "clean" and an intense 30-minute workout vs. 45 minutes in they gym and eating as you wish.

1SG I agree im changing my diet as well to clean foods only and going through smokers cessation soon to quit smoking and since I don't drink already it will help me a lot with my goals on fitness

@SPC Josh Friar - Of the two, smoking cessation is the tougher. Been there. Not done it yet, though I've tried

Admittedly the drinking is my vice, but I try to limit it to once a week and try to do lower calorie choices. Beer has a lot of carbs and sugars.
