209.4 this morning. So that’s four pounds a month since I started this effort. Couple more months and I’ll be back to 2007 weight.

254.4 this morning

 

[Wildabeest]

Late to the party here, but I started on Monday. Added ~20# over the past couple of years due to some health issues impacting my activity level. Having a junior hockey player living with me who needed high calorie meals for the past 6 months didn’t help either. I was 241 on Monday. Goal is to be back to my normal 220 by July.

Plan is to cut out almost all sugars and starches (sweets, breads, pasta, rice, potatoes, etc), snack on nuts when hungry during the day, and double up on meat and veggies with meals. And get a minimum of 12,000 steps per day plus some extra cardio on the bike.

Work travel will be the nemesis of this plan.

Just found out you can buy an entire case of ready to bake cookie dough from a restaurant supply store.

So I think I’m just gonna say maybe next year is my year. Best of luck to you all!

Bready stuff is the big one. A1C, sugars, lipids, arterial plaque. So much bullshit can be reduced or reversed when we drop the bread.

Good work everyone. I haven’t check-in in a while. I have no idea where I’m at at the moment. I’ve been living in a tractor or sprayer the last 2 weeks so I’m not exactly burning a ton of calories. I also only eat once a day so hopefully I’m not going the other way. Next time it rains, I need to step on the scale

Gaining 100lbs seems a little rough but with the right diet should be doable by hunting season

Just too persuasive.
I have the local bakery hold a couple of fresh rasied-glazed donuts for me every saturday that I am around

Hit my first goal of 215 today, down from 243 on January 5th. Going to work to get to 200 by 8/01 at least. This thread has helped keep me motivated, thanks!

 

[Outlaw99]

178. I’m sideways at the moment

 

[cgasner1]

209 this morning I’ve been working out of town last 10 days no gym no meal preparation. Long hours must have helped down 2 more pounds

 

[Wild Bill]

160.3 yesterday morning.
Last time I weighed this much I was probably 16. At some point here I’m going to have to start trying to put on a couple pounds.

[Islander]

Steady at 175. As high as 177. 16-18% body fat. At 64 and no hormone therapy, I'll take it. Semi-active job. If I'm lifting, pushing, or pulling at work I really give it top effort. On travel I walk the full length of the airport and take stairs instead of the elevator. Only real food, no sugar, limited alcohol. No gym, but hobbies are the key to fitness for me. Never had enough discipline or desire for the gym.

244 this morning. haven't moved the needle much, but am replacing fat with muscle. Did nine pull ups in a row the other day before I went bear hunting. Goal weight is 215.

 

[Trail&ErrorAK]

Currently 289 - would love to be back down to 230 or 240 by October.
We have finally hit warm weather in North Pole, AK and the mosquitos are coming out. So time to really get to walking.

 

[jbseamus83]

Down to 253.3. Slow progress, but I can see changes in my body happening. I've been consistent with my workouts and I'm definitely feeling stronger and seeing the changes.

I'm right there with you. Posted a very similar thing this morning. Not seeing huge movements on the scale, but seeing and feeling it in my body.
