    Back up to 351 and some change after dropping nearly 9 lbs in three days last week. Water weight and retention is a real drag, but I'm not feeling anymore bloated or clothes feeling tighter. I'm going to do another 600 calorie day today as well.

    My weekly weight loss chart to keep myself accountable. I'm down 14.4 lbs the last month, and around 23 total. I wish that I'd weighed on 1/4 when I started instead of 1/14, but I'm certain I was every bit of 365 when I started this lifestyle.

    330 Club, I'm comin' for you! Onward!

    Hahaha, thank you. At 6'5", I'll always be a tower of a man. "Little Ed," sounds nice.

    I work in IT for a school district. My co-worker is 23 and we will play basketball during lunch if it's not disruptive while at a school. At 37, and in my 340's, I'm whooping him. :)

    Got to put those youngsters in their place! I wish I could play basketball, but 3-ACL tears and I've decided it's too risky (currently no ACL in left knee). Have fun!

    HORSE is the game, and I'm currently ahead 7-2. If I were asked to play 2-2, 3-3, 5-5, etc.. I'd have to bow out. Basketball was the only sport I was decent at growing up. Getting onto the court more often when I get this weight off would be good for me. Maybe I'll make that one of my goals?

    Sounds good! I can still play horse but I used to play ball a lot tell my last injury about 8 years ago so that is the end of that.

    That is awesome! The shape and slope of your weight loss trend looks about like mine.

    If trends are to be believed, I'll ascend back into the 340 club, only to drop down again. Even if I make it back into the 340's, I'm still holding true to the 330 Club. :)

    After nine weeks, I've lost the equivalent of a cinder block. Almost 33 lbs gone! I'd never be able to do this without perseverance and my caring wife.

    I've never felt so at peace, have as much confidence, and a positive outlook on life than I have right now. ONWARD!!

    I too don't weight myself everyday. Due to hormone levels your body weight goes up and down daily. I prefer doing measurements, taking before and after photos or getting my body fat tested.

    I started weighing daily because I've finally broken that mental wall of letting the numbers define my progress. I've always been a numbers guy and like to be able to notice trends.

    I work in IT for a school system and had to drive a total of five hours today to work off site. My eating window usually opens at 430p and I got home at 800p. I had planned on doing an extended fast, around 48 hours, starting from this Thursday until Saturday. It's looking like I'll bump that up and see if I can make it through until tomorrow.
