    Tightened things up this week, saw that I was number last in the previous week. The only one in the red, grrrr as red as in our famous light district :mad: . So, this chart thing is really helping me. Here are the results from overseas: LWW 110.2 CWW 109.2.
    This afternoon a great BBQ with friends at our place, but I have a whole week to recover.

    Cheers to you all,succes

    Didn' loose anything this week. Still 255lb.

    Surprising actually given the rotten week I had. Started having knee pain, stopped working out, got bummed and pigged out several days exceeding my calorie limit.

    Oh well, this is a new week. Knee if is feeling better. Life is good!

    Down 3.4 lbs this week, pretty good considering I had to go out of town this weekend. Had my weigh in yesterday, it will probably be a little higher tomorrow as last night's and tonight's dinner were/are a little higher in calories but I'm definitely happy with the 3 pound loss, good luck to everyone this week!

    I am at 0 loss again. Not really sure what's going on. I have been pretty busy lately and am not eating nearly enough. I've never really bought 100% into the whole starvation mode thing but may need to reevaluate that. Next few days are really busy for me still with the bathroom remodel I am doing. Murphy's law, if something can go wrong, it will. Mr. Murphy has been paying me a special visit a few times this weekend. Looking forward to my quarter finals in racquetball on Tuesday nite though.

    Tim, I'm amazed how much my weight changes throughout the day. This morning I weighed my self and I was 258lb, 2 hours later I was 256lb. I hadn't worked out or anything, just went and got groceries. Yesterday I was 254 lb. mid-day.

    Once I weighed my self 5 times over the course of the day out of curiosity. My weight fluctuated as much as 5 lb at different times of the day.

    Keep the faith and make sure you are eating your calories. I've had that impact my weight in the past and then when I start eating the amount I should the weight loss starts again.

    LWW 344.8 CW 344 Only 8tenths of a lb, but still going down. I have not had a good week, but plan to get back on track this week. having a tough time getting my meds worked out which is messing with my BP. Until 8 weeks ago I've spent the last 15 years in stroke zone even while fully medicated and now can't seem to get above 110/65 which was fine when I was 225, but seems to be messing with me now. Go figure.

    Hey Men! Only a day late this week! Two of you didn't lose weight, but at least none of us gained any this week!

    Reporting in at 221.2 lbs.

    Congrats to pancho again on a good week! I've decided that I want to reach my goal (210) by July 4th. That's roughly 11-12 lbs in ~6 weeks. Anyone else have any 4th of July goals (even you non-Americans!)??

    Since losing weight, how has it been beneficial to your life? Please let us know how dropping the pounds has made life easier for you.

    Keep up the good work Men!

    Another note to Tim - I'm no stranger to weeks without loss (or gain) and starving. I like to call it METH - Must Endure the Hunger! Make sure you are eating something though - your body gets upset with you if you aren't consuming enough calories. In any case, I think you and Tacos need to start up a little mini-competition! You are both at 255 and you should both shoot for 245 by the 4th of July!

    My biggest problem lately has been the weekends. I work really hard all week and then when I am home on the weekends I snack, eat desserts, and exercise less. As a result, it ends up being an overall 75% effort (not 100%) which isn't that bad, but I feel like it's holding me back a bit.

    Keep working hard Men!

    I'm definitely not letting this little plateau get me down. It just means I'll be due a big loss sooner or later. I've been busy on other stuff lately and haven't logged my calorie burns. I havn't been kicking back on the couch though. I do need to focus on eating a few more calories though.

    Taco and I started out on MFP only 1 pound apart and are now the same weight. We have been neck and neck the whole way through this men in a mission challenge. I am up for a mini challenge. It might motivate me to push it to the next level this next few weeks.

    I want to explore this zig-zagging calories and see if it's feasable. Has anyone tried that?

    WTG all that burning paid off nice job! I'm weighing in tomorrow, i'm not feeling it. I'll be lucky if I get a pound.

    StevLL, I know how you feel. Several times I had my best weight loss on the weeks I wasn't feeling it.

    Gain of 0.8 lbs, worked out everyday this week and my diet was pretty good for the most part so not sure what went wrong, hopefully I'll have a good week this week as my wife and I are going on our honeymoon starting next Monday (6/6). Hope everyone had a good week!

    SW 360 LWW 344 CW 342.2 lost 1.8 lbs was hoping for more, but I'll take it. I ate about 300-500 more calories a day and it seems to have worked for me, plus my activity level is way up and I stopped logging in outside work and walking around work.

    Been sloppy this week. No gym due to work and not been logged my cals. Weight up slightly to 133.3Kg. The selection of foods I'm choosing now is beginning to bore me. I need a spark again. I'm toying with the idea of getting a push bike and ditching the car for a while. Any of you guys use a bike for everyday use?

    No progress this week, LWW 109.2 CWW 109.2. During the week I'd build up a small loss, but a good night out on saturday and it went even again. Next week I will report a loss again however. Success to you all.

    Reporting in at 222.2lbs (1 lb gain). I started out the week strong, and then on Thursday, I think the first 20 weeks just added up and I have kind of fallen back into some bad habits. I think the 1 lb gain is probably just having more food in my system, but in any case, I'm frustrated. However, I just went on a 400 calorie walk/burn and am feeling better about things. I'm planning on still marching forward to the July 4th goal (and beyond).

    Congratulations to tacos, for your second win at #1! You better keep up Tim! The pressure is on!

    Small drop: CWW 109,0 LWW 109,2. First part of the week went extremely well, but then a few BBQ's kicked in. So gained most of it back in the weekend. Same issues apollaog already adressed, it's starting to get known in the weightloss literature as the 'Apollaog effect', a common problem for men on a weight loss mission :wink:

    No drop this week.

    Little bit of a drop but not enough to knock out the increase I had last week.
    This week: 132.8kg

    It has been a crazy last few weeks for me. Work has been nuts then I had to do some remodeling and other time and labor intensive chores around the house. I was down 1 lb yesterday then last night my daughter became engaged. Must have partaken too much of dinner. Back up a pound today. So, I'm calling it a 0 loss week.

    Hey Men! My apologies for not posting this sooner! Not only did the apolloag effect kick in this (grrr, I was down to 218, and then back up to 222!), but a busy week with sick kids made for a complicated week. In any case, no drop for me this week. I'm still shooting for my 210 goal by July 4th, but we'll see!

    Keep working at it men!
