Re: Day 1 of 74-week program

Thought I would check in with an update. Weighed in today at 208 lbs. Began last November at 365 lbs. I row every day, alternating light and heavy days. I try to really push myself at least three days a week and will do 12 x 500M(for example) in addition to my regular workout. I only eat carbs pre a...

Re: Day 1 of 74-week program

Weighed in today at 250 lbs. I have not weighed under 300 lbs in 5 years. I started almost 6 months ago at 365lbs. It's all due to the rowing. I row every day and love it. I eat about 2,500 calories per day and never after 7PM. I am still obese, but my doctor said I am very fit(health wise) for my w...

Online sites to purchase rowing gear?

Does anyone have any suggestions for sites that sell clothing specifically designed for rowing? I know that Concept2 sells a couple of versions of shorts on their site, but I would like to hear of any suggestions about a company with more options. Thank you.

Re: Day 1 of 74-week program Feb 2015 check in

Hello everyone, Thanks to everyone who has checked in to encourage and to share their own goals. Since I began on 14 November 2014, I have lost 75lbs. I still have a long way to go, but in terms of fitness and overall health, I feel like an entirely different person, quite a feat in a span of only 3...

Re: Day 1 of 74-week program

Good luck, Uffe. I think the Concept2 is the best investment I could have made for my goals. This is a good place to check in. I look forward to hearing about your progress.

Re: Day 1 of 74-week program

Week 2 and nine more pounds lost, even with some overindulgence on Thanksgiving Day. I do not take a day off and add two or three pieces to the prescribed workout plan every day depending on how much time I have. I love the erg since it brings back good memories of college. The diet is the biggest c...

Re: New Firmware for Ergdata cable wont install

I am having the same problem. I am going to call customer service tomorrow and see what they have to say. $35 for the adaptor cable was steep enough without this problem.

Re: Day 1 of 74-week program

Just an update: After one week I have lost 11 lbs. I stick faithfully to the interactive workout plan, but I add one or two 20-30 minute pieces each day when I have time. I am eating around 2500 calories per day--no bad carbs, sugar, or eating out. I drink one gallon of water each day and never eat ...

Re: Fat Noob needs starting advice

Congratulations on the 70lb weight loss! You are definitely not the only one out there. I am 36 and started out last week at 365. I am sticking to a program for the Concept2 as well as a healthy diet. Nearly ten pounds lost already. It is great to know there are others out there struggling with the ...

Re: Day 1 of 74-week program

Thanks, Marco. That is a great story. I think 18 months is a conservative time-frame. Just feeling more fit will be a huge bonus at this point. Thanks for the support.

Day 1 of 74-week program

After sustaining an injury three years ago coupled with poor diet and virtually no exercise, my weight increased from 185lbs to 365lbs. I am 36 years old and 6 feet tall. I am ashamed to reveal these numbers, but I think making some form of a "public" statement of my goal is an important part of wha...
