Robb Alvey's 30lbs in 30 days!

[the sound]

Get waxed, that will lose you a bit of weight!

 

Seriously though drink water when you are thirsty, not soda. Milk is also good, but water is better. Oh yeah, and play wii as your main video game, like wii sports or something. That might help a little bit!

Hey Robb,

 

May I join you for a little workout session on Sunday the 18th and Monday the 19th possibly on the 20th as well depending on strike? That way I won't have to skip any of my workout days while I'm there in Cali working this time.

 

Let me know as workout is much more fun with a partner. Especially if it is the beer and sex workout.

 

Oh, contrary to popular belief. Milk, even skim milk, is not good for you if you are trying to lose weight. A great tip from my fitness drill sargent was to cut dairy out of your diet 100%. Drink lots of water. At least 8 8oz glasses a day. I attribute at least 25% of the weight I've lost over the last year to that alone. Well, that and an undue amount of stress thanks to Alana.

Wait...are you coming over to have sex with Robb!?!?!?

[Hurricane]

I was just about to say that... is there something Robb and Guy aren't telling us

It's really up to Robb. But I have no issues if you join us.

 

That was actualy suposed to be two entirely seperate thoughts. The first pert belongs in the first paragraph. The Beer and sex thing being a statement all to it's own.

 

Oh, who the fuck am I kidding. I WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH ROBB!!!! I don't care who knows. I will sing it from the mountain tops. I can't hide from my true feelings any more! I WANT TO ANIMAL BUTT RAPE THAT LOVEABLE TEDDY BEAR!

[BarryH]

^Everyone, please take one step away from Guy.

[robbalvey]

^ The NEXT one? HA! I guess you didn't find the easter egg on the LAST one!!!

Heck, after seeing the segments from his DVD, I can barely hear him talk from how far away I am now!

Day 2 -

 

Yesterday was a pretty good day. Woke up, had a Power Bar for breakfast and that pretty much lasted me until lunch. Chris came over and we went to our favorite chinese food place "Moon Wok" around 12:30.

 

Now usually when I go here I'll have like two HUGE plates of food. So this time around I just paced myself a little better. On the table we had steamed dumplings, beef & broccoli, chicken lo mein, curry beef, and steamed rice.

 

I made sure to take a good amount of steamed rice as that would fill me up and it has zero fat. Took a little bit of curry chicken and beef & broccoli and had a fairly "normal" plate of food. (I swear guys I'll start remembering to bring my camera for this stuff!!!)

 

I just made sure I ate slowly, and then instead of having a 2nd plate, I just "picked" here and there. I left feeling full but not "stuffed."

 

I did good yesterday and I don't think I really snacked on anything until dinner. Had quite a few bottles of water with those Crystal Light packet things (I *love* those!)

 

We went and took a stroll around SFMM, rode Ninja twice, waited for Jahan and Mike to get off work.

 

After that we all went to dinner at one of our favorite Itallian places, Papallino's. Now I normally do not like to eat after 8pm and by this time it was almost 9pm, so I settled for just a bowl of soup. Mostly liquid, lots of vegetables, so it couldn't be too bad.

 

Came home, put the finishing touches on the woodies disc for Roller Coasters in the RAW (shameless plug warning) and if you haven't ordered it yet, go order it now: http://www.themeparkreview.com/store/

 

Went to the gym around 11pm did a "20 minute workout" and then came back home.

 

So what's my weigh in for today? 258.5!!!

 

Total weight loss so far: -5.5lbs

 

Again, I really didn't change what I eat too much, just didn't eat anywhere near as much as I would before and I didn't snack at all during the day, other than bottles of water.

I swear I'll have more than just feet photos soon!

[Manny In England]

5 and a half pounds in two days is great, nearly three times what should be accomplished at this point. Good to hear that the weight loss is going well, keep it up and you should lose that weight in no time at all. Wishing you all the best Robb.

[dandaman]

I swear I'll have more than just feet photos soon!

 

Well, I sincerely hope you don't stretch out your pants to show us how much you've lost with the same aerial view.

[Chrissie]

Wow!! Congrats Robb, Thats great progress.

 

I wanna go on the "Robb Alvey diet" Haha!

[ebl]

Good thing that scale has a decimal point before the last digit, huh?

 

In my case, I've been trying to gain weight for the last year or so. During a five-day hospital stay last December, my weight fell to 117 (on a 5'-8" body) due to complications from diabetes (see, Dan isn't the only one around here...). And at one time, I was up over 210 (long story, won't go into it).

 

With some tweaking of insulin (that I have to shoot four times a day), I've been able to not only keep the blood sugar in check, but put some weight on. Today I weigh 145---a healthy weight for me.

 

Robb, I hope diabetes doesn't run in your family (on either side) because it'll catch up to you sooner than later. Not to tell you what to do (as you said, you've done this before), but as a word of advice from an older guy, you might focus on maintaining your weight rather than letting it go up and down.

Good Job Robb! I hope it all turns out ok. I want to lose a few pounds, just I don't know how to lol. I've tried in the past and failed miserably. Fast Food needs to end though....anyway Good Luck!

[odene497]

"Moon Wok"

 

Keep it up! Oh, and subract .5lbs for the camera! *SIX* pounds!

[thefitness]

Congrats Robb! Honestly, I did not think someone could lose that much weight this fast!

[robbalvey]

Well, the "first 10 pounds" is always the easiest. It will be losing that "next 10 pounds" which will be tricky!

I had no idea Robb was a hobbit. He has hobbit feet.

[robbalvey]

^ Have I ever told you that I really don't like you?

[downunder]

You just want to be more attractive for your next Erasure concert, we know the truth.

 

Does this mean the TPR tours will be going low cal?

 

Try to keep up with me around the parks on the East Coast trip and you'll lose another 40 lbs.

[SharkTums]

^Yeah the TPR trips were awesome for me!

 

I gained about 30-35 pounds with the whole KT thing, and I lost about 15 before the trips, then 5 on each trip, so that now I'm back to normal!

 

Now of course, one of the main reasons I lost the weight is because I'm a picky eater and when travelling it's even harder, but all the running around and sweating helped too!

[downunder]

I was hitting the hotel gyms in the morning too when I had time.

 

Could be another selling point for the tours, kind of have a biggest loser angle.

[SharkTums]

I maintain that ours are the only coaster tours where people have hooked up on each trip, and people lose weight!!!!

 

WIN WIN!

[downunder]

And hetero hook ups at that too, TPR trips, an ACE'rs nightmare.

[benzo41190]

Wow! I weight the same as you but Im 6' 4"

 

I also need to loose about 35 pounds AND quit smoking. So lets see who can do it the fastest
