The Great HT 2026 weigh in.

Keto is the easy weight loss diet for me. I’ve done it off and on for years. I can eat low carb with no issues. Meat and veg diet for me.

My issue right now is I’m busy at work with professional lunch meetings at restaurants. Last week was a professional diet break 3 of 5 work days. I’ll try to be better this week.
 
Went on a 3 day binge and added some food down .2# on the scale but still leaning out and my muscle weight packed back on pretty good. This week should be a good one
 
The body is quite the machine I guess sometimes less isn’t better on a diet. I added a few hundred calories back in after eating quite a bit extra thru the weekend. I definitely had pushed myself a little to far glad I noticed it on Friday with my lift

162lbs this morning....

13 months ago, I was at 205. I'm 5' 11".

Did away with sugar, cut way back on carbs, and did away completely with eating processed foods.

I'm fortunate to have my own home gym with free weights and three different cardio training apparatuses, (treadmill. stationary bike, elliptical trainer).

I try to do 30 minutes of cardio six days a week.

I'm over the hump and won't be going back to the dark side.....;)

The first six weeks were the toughest.
 
I had no plans to do anything, and then my work puts on a greatest loser competition. I really have no weight to lose, but I’m in to win 1st place $100 after 8 weeks!

I meticulously calculated calories to burn each week to level off at 145, starting at 180. Absolute cliff is 138 before my organs start to dissolve or whatever, so not trying to get too close.

So far so good. Today is Day 15, weighed in at 169. Around Day 12 I start daydreaming of my favorite junk foods. Last night I was up from 2-4 AM researching bakeries that have blueberry old fashioned donuts, and Boston creams.

To make something productive out of it, plan to build back up over the summer to a muscular 165 - that seems to be my sweet spot for power and endurance.

For$100? That's dedication
 
well what did you find out? I’m willing to travel for a good donut.
Man, I’m gonna get booted of the weight loss thread…

There is a donut hut like a block from my brothers house, good stuff. I get that way enough I will have to hit the others up.
Also , they just put a Chic Fil A down the road from me , bass-turds , my truck knows the way by heart . I get in my truck , next thing I know I'm in the line ...
i would lose weight if choc fil a was a block from my house. I don’t get the hype.

I was the same way , now it's got me bad , 😁and I have a hard time believing it myself . I went from zero fast food to every other day . I'm sure I'm a victim of a government founded phys op program targeting under achievers , it can't be just my fault ?

One of the many advantages of not having a fast food restaurant within 25 minutes and it’s not on my regular travel route. I get bubble guts just thinking about it.
