    SW: 277.2lbs (Jan 16, 2017)
    CW: 243 lbs
    GW: 150lbs by Feb, 2018

    Last Week's Weight loss: .8 lb
    Total Loss -34.2 lbs

    Disappointing week - I know a loss is a loss, but I really thought I did better than .8 lbs.

    Working: I thought things were working with a 3.4lb loss the previous week, but I guess I'll have to look over my diary and see what went wrong this week.

    Not working: Still having problems evening out my macros. Can't get enough protein without throwing my Carbs/fats out of whack.

    Update for this week
    Starting Weight:256 lbs. (01/20/2017)
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 150 lbs
    Goal date for losing 60 lbs is September 1, 2017 (over half way there - Yipee!)
    Goal date for losing 100 lbs is January 2018

    Next Milestone: 210 lbs (by end of May)

    I have had some health issues over the past month, but I am still staying on track with my diet. My exercise has had to take a backseat for a little while but I will get back on that as soon as the doctor releases me to. Overall still doing good.

    Mission Statement
    * I will be kind to myself. I will log my food on the weekend. I will be patient.

    Agreed, huge difference!

    And I'd like a thread for progress pics, too! If nobody else jumps in, I'll start one later today.

    • 4L of water a day

    What I Need to Work on:

    SW: 325lbs
    CW: 273.6lbs
    GW: Initially 180lbs and then I'll decide from there how much lower I might want to go.

    Loss Last Week: -1.3lbs
    Total Loss - 51.4lbs

    Short term goal: I'm going to carry on with aiming for 10lb increments so new goal is 270lbs by the end of May.

    So I'm pretty pleased with my loss this week. My son turned 8 on Tuesday so we took him away for a few days to celebrate. That meant we ate meals out or purchase quick and easy food from the supermarket that we could eat on the run or make in a basic hotel room. I tried to make the healthiest choices I could (one night we had Nandos - I went for butterfly chicken, corn on the cob and a side salad), walk as much as possible and drink my water. Having said that my water intake was a lot lower than it's been lately which is actually really funny to me because on average I drank 65floz a day while we were away, 2 months ago I would never, ever have drunk that much water on a normal day. Now a normal day is 100floz+
    Now we're home my plan is to get back to my usual eating, workout, water drinking routine asap!

    05/15 - 263 - 2.5 - 2.2 - 44


    Ok I am going to re-adjust my goals based on my progress! I am 8 weeks away from my 260 goal by July and I am 3 lbs from that goal... I can't believe it I am so happy! So, I am going to bump my goals back by 6 weeks so that they are more of a challenge. I feel if I dont adjust them I wont be pushing myself to reach them..which may allow me to slack off and i dont want that to happen. And to think when I started on Jan 9 I thought 260 by July was going to be very difficult to do!


    Goal 1 - 285 by March 17 Vacation (got it - 278)
    Goal 2 - 260 by May 26 (Formerly July 1)
    Goal 3 - 220 by November 13 (Formerly Christmas 2017)
    Goal 4 - 199 by February 2nd Vacation 2018 (Formerly March 16, 2018)

    Overall Goal Lose 108 lbs. 44 down 64 to go

    Recent NSV - My 44" pants are going in the garbage forever! I can finally fit into the 40" pants I wore years ago!
    My physical with my doctor had great results! My blood pressure is now 118/70 and my resting heart rate is now at 42 bpm! Everything is looking great and my doc said I may be the healthiest 270 lb guy he's seen in a long time.

    What is working:
    Staying on track with exercise - I am still working the new lower intensity workout and it is giving same results as when I was pushing my heartrate to max (too far!). And this is so much more healthy. I am still the sweatiest guy in the gym hahaha.
    Keeping calories at 1890/day or less during the week (weekends are over due to libations).
    NO BEER M-T (non weekends) - FAIL this week again - visited friends on tuesday and then working on the boat after work always prompts a beer or two but I kept the count low.
    Motivation from friends on MFP!
    Water Water Water Water!

    What isn't working:
    Well I can't say much here...I'm way ahead of my schedule, i'm eating healthy and exercising daily and the results are amazing so far. My blood work should come back today so i'm really looking forward to that!

    SW: 327 lbs
    GW: 175ish (main goal is to significantly increase my health; once I reach 175 I'll re-evaluate)
    GD: January 2019
    CW: 318 (-9 lbs)
    STG: lose 20 pounds by July 1

    What's working:
    • Measuring portions and tracking food in MFP
    • Planning and prepping meals and snacks so that I'm prepared, it's easy, and I'm actually eating 3 meals a day
    • No soda or sweet tea and more water

    What needs improvement:
    • Getting to the gym or some form exercise; I'm getting some movement in (more than usual), but it needs to be more
    • More veggies and protein

    My Starting Weight: 407 lbs (1/1/2017)
    My Ultimate Goal Weight: 250 lbs (First long-long term goal)
    My goal date for loosing 100 lbs is by Jan 2018
    I'm targeting 2 lbs per week
    ---
    Next Milestone: 345 lbs (by end of May)
    Current Weight: 354 lbs
    Total loss: -53 lbs
    ---
    Current problems: Emotional/stress eating. I work in theatre, and have been getting home late from rehearsals. I do a good job tracking during the days, but when I get home from rehearsals, I can't stop myself from grazing in the fridge or cupboards. I have yet to join a gym, because gyms scare me, and I feel like I don't know enough to be there... but I think that might be my next move in June.

    SW: 311 lbs
    CW: 282 lbs
    UGW: 144 lbs

    Currently I am about 6 weeks out from going to California. I have increased my workouts and decreased my calories. This is a temporary push toward looking my best on vacation. After that I will take a week long diet break where I eat at maintenance and resume my normal workout schedule of 4 days a week.

    So my mini goal is 270 by June 26th. That's right at 2# a week.

    SW: 277.2lbs (Jan 16, 2017)
    CW: 242.4 lbs
    GW: 150lbs by Feb, 2018

    Last Week's Weight loss: .6 lb
    Total Loss -34.8 lbs

    AGAIN another disappointing week - I know a loss is a loss, but I really thought I did better than .6 lbs. I was under my calorie goal every day??? I have increase my exercise quite a bit so I am hoping I am building lean muscle and that is the difference.

    I have a follow-up doctors appointment today. Last time I was there I tipped the scales at 284 (my highest weight) - I am hoping for an "atta girl" when he sees 243-ish!!!

    SW: 300lbs
    CW: 288.3 lbs
    GW: 175 then maintaining/building to 200 and 10-15% body fat

    Loss Last Week: 5.29
    Total Loss: 11.7 lbs

    Short term goal: 284 by June 1st

    What's Working:
    Tracking calories. Pretty new to MFP but I have found CICO is simple and if I track my calorie and keep my net under the goal I lose weight. I am losing to fast IMHO and should eat a bit more but I still feel good and have energy so not pushing it.

    What's Not:
    I dont like big meals that I need to work out more to burn. Did it on mothers day with wife and not doing that again.

    Notes: Starting to feel a bit better. Walks are easier and have increased speed or distance since starting. Weight is dropping at good rate. More energy than before. Overall I feel like I am achieving something,

    My Starting Weight: 224lbs
    My Ultimate Goal Weight: 110lbs
    My goal date for loosing 100 lbs is My birthday in July 2018
    Which is about 2lb per week

    Next Milestone: getting under 200, hopefully by my birthday this year ;)
    Current Weight: 212
    Loss last week: 1.1 lb
    Total loss: 12 lb

    What's working, what's not:

    Working: Cutting out fast food, heavily processed foods, and ice cream. What's not working- I've always hated fruit, and the days I eat fruit make me want to quit. So, I think I'm going to stop trying to become a health nut overnight, and just focus on eating things I like.
