    Yea, it took about 20 minutes in the car tell my feet thawed out. Now if only loosing weight could teach me how to ski better!

    I will probably go a couple more times. It is crazy expensive these days if you pay the regular price. I look for specials and go to smaller places like I did today so it doesn't cost that much.

    I will be back to the coal mine myself on Monday so can relate to that. Take care and have a happy new year!

    Bob, I tried your tip of setting mfp to maintenance and it really worked for me --today I stuck to 1200 and I'm so thrilled with myself for being under the maintenance cals - thank you so much!

    Vrojapu,

    Still shoot for significant deficits or it will take a long time to lose the weight. I just like logging it that way but you still have to get the deficits in. Good luck!

    I hope your doing well Blambo =)

    I'm doing fine. I got a little busy over the Holidays and haven't been on as much. I did gain about 2 lbs over the last two weeks but that was all. I'm back in the saddle and doing fine. I did regress a lot on the cardio though because I got sick for awhile but I'm back to doing some of that as well. Thanks for asking!

    Week 17

    Maintained weight this last week which was good considering it was new years weekend and I was on vacation and ate about 500 lbs of food on New Years evening! I did the body percent fat thing and it said I went from 33.5% BF to 27.0% BF since I started the diet. I lost 28.9 lbs with 24.4 being fat and 4.5 being muscle.

    I think that is a good improvement and most of that happened in about 3.5 months. I hope to be able to continue on with it and get leaner. I would like to eventually be 8-12% BF.

    Week 18 of 21:3 with a cheat day on Saturdays

    Well, I lost about 3 lbs this last week which was really good. I think I finally got over all the holiday food. Still not feeling totally chipper, I think due to bad air quality due to an inversion but I'm able to work out so that is good! I'm down 32lbs total so far including the holidays where I kind of stalled and gained 2 lbs for a 3-week period. Nice to be losing again. I think being at work makes it easier and I drink a lot of water there which helps I think. My cheat Saturdays makes me go up by two lbs and then I loose it and one more for the week is how it seems to be going lately. Weight lifting is also effecting me some I'm sure.

    Week 19 of 21:3 IF diet with cheat Saturday

    Lost the two lbs gained over the last weekend and one more this week for total of 33 lbs lost since early sept . Bonked lifting weights once this week. I think I didn’t eat enough carbs night before and lifted while fasting. Usually doesn't bother me. I will probably eat a piece of bread or something before I lift next time. It is close to eating window so close enough. I'm interested to see if gained some muscle in two weeks (I will get measured).

    WEEK 20 Report (lost 2-lbs)

    Start Weight/Height/Age/Start Date: 252 / 6'1" / 54 / 06 Sept 2015
    Weekly Weight Loss: 4, 3, 3, 1, 3, (1), 5, 3, 2, 2, 1, (2), 4, 1, 2, (2), 0, 3, 1, 2
    Total Weight Loss: 35-lbs / 20-wks
    Current Weight: 217


    Week's Comments: Crazy week for the weight. I ate a bunch of pizza on the Friday before last and ate some more of it Sat morning and grazed all Saturday. Sunday morn, I was up by 3lbs, Mon 2lbs, Tues 1lb, Wed - even, Thurs down 1 lb, and Friday down 2 lbs! I think I will be a little more conservative on the Saturday cheat day so don't have to watch that and wait to see if going to lose. Will probably eat at noon and just eat a couple of big meals but not graze so much.

    My jogs have gone from about a 10:50 min/mile pace to 9:40 pace just from the beginning of last week to the end of last week (Monday was 10:50 pace and Friday was the 9:40 pace). I'm only up to about 3/4 mile continuous and am adding one lap a workout (~180m indoor track). I also walk and do 3x1-lap at the end of that at about a 6:24 min/mile pace.

    Starting to bonk on weight-lifting days. Will eat a little before on those days right before lifting.

    I am happy to be loosing again after my indulgences over the holidays!
