    The smoke hasn't been nearly as bad this year as last year, but it is enough that I have been doing my training runs inside on my treadmill rather than outside. Air quality hasn't gotten worse than "Unhealthy for sensitive groups" (asthma, COPD, etc.) but I figure I don't want to run in it unless I have to.
    Thunderstorms in the forecast for today and tomorrow. Hopefully there is more rain than lightning...

    Down 5 lbs this week, but then I haven't run since last Wednesday because I dropped a ladder on my foot. I will be running tonight, so we will see if the weight goes up again or continues to go down.

    Don't know what the heck happened this week. I thought I actually had a decent week and was blown away to see a 4.7 pound gain. :explode:

    LW 318.3
    CW 323


    On a better note, Awesome job Tim on your 5.4 pound loss this week. You rock!!

    Hope we get a few more updates...

    Skipping the chart this week gentlemen as only Tim and I updated. We both posted our numbers for your viewing pleasure. Hoping for a bigger turnout next week.

    Cheers!

    No gain, and considering Saturday was my birthday and I didn't care about calories all weekend, I will take it!
    It was a busy weekend though, working outside on projects. Probably why I didn't gain.

    Hey guys. I am back after a couple of weeks of travelling and seeing family. Haven't been able to hit the gym in that time.

    LWW 230
    CWW 232

    That is not the right direction. Time to get back on track. Have a good week.

    Howdy Men,

    A better turnout this week in updates and in weight loss. dbw1976, you continue to rock. More often than not, you lose more despite being the lightest. Way to go. trelm, I know that 2 pounds will be gone in no time. You have been doing an outstanding job of maintenance. Tim and I are very close and I really like that he is there for me to try and catch.

    Have a great week guys.

    Yeah, 6 days camping at my family reunion up in the hills. Fun, food, family and beer. Lots of beer. I am sure it is mostly water retention because with all the hiking, fishing, horse shoes and other activities, there is no way I went over by 5000 calories a day.

    Looks like we get to start a whole new page again. I really would like to see a little more activity on here. Just me this week.

    On the bright side, I did lose 1/2 pound.

    Seeing the doctor this morning to get ready for my knee replacement surgery. Checking to see if just one knee or possibly both. Personally, if my right knee is at all questionable as to whether or not its deteriorated far enough, I would just as soon take care of it now and not have to come back next year or whenever and go through all this again. Not to mention having to use double the sick leave to go through this twice.

    No chart since its just me this week. Have a great week guys.

    Hi Tim,
    It looks like there are now two Men on a Mission Part 3 threads. Which one are we going with? The other part three had about 4 responses last week - so you weren't as alone as you thought.

    Hello Gentlemen,

    I don't know what happened but it looks like two of us started a new Men on a Mission thread last week because the previous page reached its 20 page max. I was feeling all lonely and dejected that no-one but me checked in. My apologies as I guess there were a few updates except for mine on the this page.

    Thank you Dave for finding me and letting me know of the double thread.

    Shabbar, great to see you back my friend. Let's see if I can keep myself from getting lost this week.

    If interested, here is my reply from last week and I'll update a chart in a couple of days and give my personal updates then.

    Thanks for finding me buddy. Lets go with the other thread and I'll see about getting rid of this one or just let it die a slow natural death and fade away to the bottom of "My Topics".

    Summer vacation for us school teachers is nearing an end. That means I will be back on a more regular schedule which should help with counting calories and exercising. I plan on making steadier progress towards my goal rather than just yo-yo up and down.

    Good morning Men!

    Looks like a bit of good news and bad news today. First the good, We had a MUCH better showing of the men's updates this week. The bad news is all but one of us gained this week.

    I have noticed over the last several years of doing this that I clearly do not do well during the summer months. It's weird because I have always thought the opposite would be true. I guess there are less things that take my time and attention away from nutrition or exercise during the colder, wetter weather here in the Pacific NW.

    Shabbar, welcome back my friend!! Don't be too discouraged. You gained less than 5 pounds in a little over 3 months since your last posting.

    Tim, I am sure you will be next weeks biggest loser.

    Dave, congrats on "AGAIN" taking the top spot. Keep up the fight gentlemen.

    Update on my knee. I am only having one knee replaced at this time. I am scheduled for surgery Oct. 4th. I will have some form of electronic device with me during my hospital visit and do not want to miss a day of checking in or seeing how you all are doing.

    Have a great week guys.

    Hello gents. I've been MIA again, but I'm back. I reset my ticker August 1st to 317#. Weighed in at 313# 9/1. We are officially starting the Fast Metabolism Diet tommorrow. It's much like we ate when we first started this journey, but with a stirct no processed food piece and eating certain foods in combo on different days. Luckily there's an app, so it's easy to meal plan. I'll weigh in every monday starting next Monday, so we'll see how it goes. Everyone have a great week and be a loser! :wink: :bigsmile:

    First off, a big welcome back to StevLL. Great to have you back and I am looking forward to seeing how this Fast Metabolism Diet works out for you.

    Not a big response this week. I personally did not weigh in this week and am just using last week's weigh-in numbers. I did not rank everyone this week. Steve lost 4 pounds since his August 1st ticker reset.

    Have a great week guys.

    LWW 313 CW 310 I"m liking this new eating plan. 12 days no caffiene and nobody's died, so its not too bad. Lots of food and a good variety, so its not boring and no processed is really cheaper in the long run.. :bigsmile:

    Hi guys,
    I'm taking tomorrow, Thursday, off from work. I've been waiting till Thursday to post the chart but am doing it early this week. It's just a lot easier for me to do this at work with 2 monitors and all past updates, etc...

    3 weeks till my surgery so I'm not sure if I'll be able to do the charts for a week or 2 afterwards.

    Steve, you are rocking this new diet. Glad to see it is working for you and also glad no one has died (yet) from the no caffeine part of this diet.
