Final 2017 recap
Jan 1 weight 286.6
Dec 31 weight 172.6
114 pounds lost in 2017. What a year for me.
179 pounds lost since beginning.
Focus for 2018 will be building core and upper body strength.
Will continue to run and thinking to add bicycling to the mix.
I'd like to see the weight drop into the 160's and to stay lean.
But I have no timetable anymore, I truly feel at peace and ready to maintain a healthy lifestyle going forward.
Happy Healthy New Year to everyone!2 -

Thank you Jeanona.I watched your latest episode and wow, you’re inspirational!
You might have already explained this elsewhere but what did you do for the other phases of your weight loss?
I'm going through the phases in sequential order 1-5.
1 and 2 were covered in the video below.
4 and 5 will be forthcoming.

@Jim_fbr, thanks for that. I was not able to do pure calorie restriction and LC was also not sustainable for me. You had brilliant results for Phases 1 and 2. Wow again and what an achievement.0 -
What a fabulous year Jim! I can't wait to watch your videos when I can find some time... Hopefully tonight after work... 0

Well I got a little gung-ho to start off the year in terms of exercise. Got carried away with squats, kettle bell swings, and planks, meanwhile didn't allow enough recovery time and sure enough last Sunday my hamstring tightened up while running. I had to really go slow this past week. Didn't work out at all only walking and easy short runs. Feeling better now, was able to do an easy 8 mile run this morning with only very minor twinges in the beginning. Think I'll have to stick to maybe one HIIT session per week for now. I definitely need the recovery time.0

Oh no! Injuries suck big time... At least it sounds like you didn’t do any damage and you’re listening to your body and not trying to just push through...0

Oh this was minor, and no way would I try to push through it. I've learned to be patient and give my body a chance to rebound before moving forward.1 -
Slow down a little and I hope you are feeling better soon

Oh man those injuries come on quickly. Hope you heal up quickly.0

Thanks everyone but it was really minor stuff, I stopped on it right away rather than trying to push through. Don't even feel any issues at the moment, I just needed some recovery time to let the muscles heal up.
I'll be keeping high intensity stuff limited to once a week from now on.0 -
I put up another video summarizing the things that worked for me to get the weight off, like OMAD.

Great food. I love your way of eating
Thanks!
Eating out when I'm on a business trip is always entertaining theses days and i take it as an opportunity to have a mini splurge. Last week it took three entrees to fill me up. The salesman who picked up the tab did a double take when he saw the bill.
This week two full appetizers and the server is warning me how large they are. It's OK honey, just keep it coming until I wave you off. Lol
They were a little large so I was able to get by with only one entree.
I guess when at home packing away the meat it's not as noticeable how much I'm eating, but in a restaurant it becomes real noticeable.
Also, the one plate rule? I'm so far beyond that, but the thing is I'm still eating once a day until I'm full. So I'm using the same rules as I have since the beginning.
Oh well. Time for a coffee for desert.2 -
Doing really well. How far are you thinking of dropping to?
I’m also kinda over the one plate thing now, but just eating till full. Seems to be working.0 -

Hahahaha! I did this the other day in the Qantas lounge in LAX. I usually go to the "peasant" lounge which has a buffet (and TBH I like that lounge way better, the chairs are way more comfortable and a buffet is much easier for me as a vegetarian to navigate...), but this time I was travelling with higher status dudes than me so got into the fancy lounge. They don't have a buffet, just table service. I ordered FIVE different plates! Ha! Not sure what the guys I was with thought, they didn't say anything... 0
