The Great HT 2026 weigh in.

[44hunter45]

Some of you guys need to knock off the Doritos.

How did you know? Coscto chips and dips at the exciting NY movie night. Nowhere to go but down from here.
I'm going to have to find my ice cleats and glacier glasses for my walk today. I haven't bought my 2026 hunting license, so of course I will see some furred out coyotes.

FWIW - Five years ago my brother and I did a diet accountability contest. I started at 283 lbs.I started trending down after I got off the road and left the drive-though lunches behind.

I seriously doubt I am going to change my calorie intake much, just the quality of it post-holiday. The main point of this thread for me is to have 12 monkeys asking me if I walked. I just need to be accountable and keep the trend going, particularly in the cardio. If there is one thing the HT family is good for it's busting your chops.

Jan 2026 starting with homemade Neapolitan pizza for lunch!

 

[dcreiss]

I’m in. I’m starting off at 229 and want to see 200 by next hunting season.

Started the year off eating pumpkin pie like a pizza slice with morning coffee and weighing in at 215.

Pumpkin pie sucks.

 

[RealMuddyboots]

Anybody have a forklift scale? Otherwise I need to lose a lot for upcoming knee replacement in April.

 

[Gellar]

I went for a walk yesterday and lifted weights this afternoon. I think I’ll be done with this business for 2026.

I’m in. 200 even this morning. 6 years ago I was a shredded 150, beat shape of my life. Then I decided to get married for the third time and have 3 kids. Advanced disc degeneration and a dozen back procedures that have done nothing. Most recently lost my dad, my best friend and business partner. Got diagnosed with anxiety disorder and put on anti depressants. Literally gained 30lbs in the last year alone since my dad died. Done making excuses, ditched the depression meds a month ago, getting back to eating meat and drinking water. Once I shed some, I’ll ease back into my workouts as my back allows. Want to be back to 160-150 by Oct 26.

Did the same thing with a leftover slice of cinnamon sugar Dutch baby on my way to work today. Don’t have a scale handy yet, but really need to get one. Between 215-220. I’d like to see under 200 this year.

 

[INMT]

180.0 this morning. Leaving for Mexico for a week tomorrow morning. Beach, pool time, and margaritas probably won’t help.

I’ll weigh in again when I return home and start for real then. Just trying to get back to 165. Need to cut out the excess beer and get back to healthier habits after the holidays.

 

[TheTone]

Tried on some of my old “fat” pants today and couldn’t get them on. Uh oh. I’ve been heavier in the past and worn them. Guess I need to drop inches more than pounds. Might just starve myself next week while my wife is out of town

 

[Dave N]

Rabbit food instead of the rabbit! Trying to hit the elliptical every day for at least a half hour. Boiling more eggs for breakfast and snacks. Damn, I want a pizza!

 

[Dsnow9]

185. Usually fluctuate between 175 and 185. Goal this year is to pack on some muscle though. Tree work is taking a toll on certain joints these days and need to do some supplemental lifting to help support some weak points.

 

[Outlaw99]

198 this am

 

[LCH]

265. I was 290 this time last year. I am pretty lean at 220, that's my goal by next fall.

How many of you folks on food restrictive diets take a cheat day? I thought maybe one day of the weekend would be good for a little splurge for a treat. I've really been trying to be careful about what I eat as well as portions. Decided I wanted to have baked ham today. I still watched my portions but I treated myself to some peach cobbler with peaches and cream ice cream for dessert. Full disclosure, breakfast was 2 hard boiled eggs and lunch was a banana. Back to the restrictive stuff and exercise tomorrow.

 

[Outlaw99]

Looks good Dave, but no cheat days here. I have too addictive of a personality to do that. Nothing but meat, coffee and water for me going on 3 weeks

One meal won’t break you. I’ve been eating around 180 to 190 grams of protein thru my day. That didn’t include dinner with the kids I don’t get crazy about trying to hold to a strict diet but we eat good anyways. I still weigh what i can for that meal and eat in moderation. Most days 2200-2300 calories and 220+ grams of protein and around 200 for carbs. I’m now down 32# since start of November

My problem(?) is I have stuff in the freezer that I just don't want to throw out! I paid for it, dammit, and I'm gonna eat it! In moderation, of course. Not going to scarf down a pizza any time soon but a nice hearty meal once in a while breaks up the salads and low cal stuff.
