The Great HT 2026 weigh in.

Great thread. I could use the extra motivation so I will play along.

I last weighed on 6/20, was 218. My goal is 200 by September 1st and 190 by November 1st. Started at 225 on May 19th so have made some progress so far. I have developed an insertional achilles issue on my right foot so that has slowed me down some. I bought a stair machine for the house. I have to use it in my hiking boots and make sure never to let my heel drop below the level of my toes to keep from aggravating the tendon. We will see how it goes.
 
Was hanging around 160 for quite a while earlier this spring. Even saw as low as 157.
Have since started lifting again after taking a couple months off. Been putting on a decent amount of muscle and am back up to 166 this morning.
 
185 this morning. Sweatin’ like a rented mule yesterday working on a motherloving desert spoon in the front yard. Why would anyone think that’s good for landscaping? Its four foot long serrated leaves are wicked. Think I’ll have a rager with three beers and two tacos tonight then pass out all stuffed. Because skinny Ben can’t hang like husky Ben used to.
 
I have a shared spreadsheet and a bet with a friend to log more workouts, steps, and better sleep than the other for like $100 plus a point differential.

We added a 10 point kicker for weight goals. I have to gain ten pounds of muscle (180 -> 190), and he has to lose 20 lbs.

Mine feels tougher.... But i still have 5 months. Up 1 lb today
