My wife and I hit Chic Fil A about once a year just to remind us why we don't go there.

You enjoy those carrot sticks, m’kay?

205.2 this morning. 6 pounds down so far.

 

[cgasner1]

Getting ready to meal prep my week and trying to decide if I wanna keep my calories up or not. Ended the week down a little on my bf% but things seem to be getting pretty flat. I can’t complain being down around 36# from the start

 

[Rack Daniels]

If you see the beers I crush and the puh-taters I eat you’d take me for the most athletic flatlander you’d ever seen with your your two eyes

Attaboy! You must not have quite hit 30 yet? Swear the DAY I turned 30 was the first time I started feeling old inside.
Flatlander!? I thought you were from Colorado!?

 

[wihunter12]

Down 10 pounds from January 1st. 233 this morning.

I’ll be 34 in march but I’m from Colorado, now in Montana. I just eat and drink like a midwesterner

Down 15 lbs to 164. Terrible body composition, not fit at all. I’ll end the hunting year (Mar to Feb) with 34 days afield, and it has taken a major toll on my body. Each of the last 5 seasons before that I got 60 days in. Compounding the issue was “hunting smart” in 2025 made for about half as many miles walked on the days I did get out.

I packed out 25 lbs of venison 2 miles on Sunday, and had 7 miles total for the day - I felt fine, which is a plus. I added an extra 250 cal carb snack to push me through the last mile.

As much as I’d like to rely on hunting as my primary fitness activity, the reality is a minimum 20-min drive one way to spots. About 80% of local hunting is 60-80 mins total trip drive. Time is limited w/ family obligations, so a 45-min early AM workout at one of the 3 gyms I drive past on the way to work is far more practical.

Buy a few kettlebells and do it at home.

 

[El Jason]

Finally feel like I’m fully recovered from the flu and back up to 194.5 this morning. If I could stay here year round I’d be very happy.

 

[Johnny Bravo]

I now want biscuits and gravy after reading all of you under 200, I would love to be just 200….lol. Good luck to y’all . I have lost 40 and kept it off for 6 months now, no real goal other than 200. I’ll get there in 2026 I think.

 

[WapitiBob]

208.6! Took my first shot yesterday so I'll see how hungry I get today and try to squeeze in some more protein. Going to try a recipe @Perlodid posted in the healthy eating thread for Middle Eastern Rice tonight.

Get your blood worked up. If you're pre diabetes and the doc prescribes for that, Medicare will cover OZ.

Did that. I'm not quite on Medicare yet. I'll see how this works out and go from there. So far I'm losing a little every day.

 

[Wild Bill]

Buy a few kettlebells and do it at home.

This is my next move. I've been swinging kettlebells at the gym for the last 6 months or so and really enjoy it.
If I had a few laying around the house I'd probably be doing farmer carries all over the house.

 

[44hunter45]

Still in the road. Put new battery in the scale at my dad’s house.

267.4

Actually happy about that. I’ve been living on restaurant food for two weeks.
