    Same to you! I know how you feel about the long W/E.....I almost feel like starving myself so I can prepare for the extra lol. We will be at my parents for a few days and not in our own "place of diet". So I know my sodium will most likely be high. Uhg

    I think I have my macros figured out finally..... balanced carbs and protein and keep the sodium as low as possible......which is so difficult (the sodium)

    I hope everyone is having a great week. This week is the best turnout we've had in a while. I hope this continues and even look forward to a few more joining.

    First, I want to welcome one new member to the thread. Ffgjosh (Josh). Josh and BJ had a fricken awesome week. 6.8 and 6 pound losses. Dave and the other Josh had a really good week also. The two Tims are kind of behind the 8 ball this week. I don't know what the hell happened to me. If I was a betting man, I would have put money on me losing at least 1.5 pounds this week. I had a really great week exercising and burning calories doing all sorts of remodeling projects at my daughter's house last weekend. Been doing pretty good on my eating too. Looking forward to trying to make it up on next week's chart.

    Holiday weekend coming up. These are sometimes my downfall but will try and keep things in control. I hope you all have a Great Memorial Day weekend.

    It is possible with all the exercise and activities you are holding water weight?

    BJ,I think that is very likely. That is why I am not kicking myself too hard. I had a good week and I know it. We'll see what the scale says next week.

    I will most likely "plateau" soon...seem to be a trend in my weight loss. I will drop quite a few pounds then a plateau....all of a sudden I will lose 5-6 lbs lol. I am just ecstatic about breaking 300lbs.

    No head hanging in shame needed. I for one count a 1.8 pound loss in one week as fantastic. And, 8.6 in two weeks, Amazing!!! Well done this week.

    Memorial Day Weekend and paid too little attention to what I ate.

    CWW 203.7
    LWW 200.8
    Gain 2.9

    Back at it, hope to lose some of that gain by next week and then finally get back below 200.

    Welcome Josh!

    Howdy men,

    I hope you all had a great Holiday weekend and to my fellow vets, I salute you. Not a bad week. Only 4 guys updated this week and 1 had a bit of a slip, but no worries. JJ took the top spot this week with a 4 pound loss. Outstanding job!!!

    I am getting in my exercises and I am well below my calorie limit everyday, but still am only losing a fraction of what I should be losing. Time to start trying different things I think. This next week I am going to try and cut as much carbs out of my diet as I can and increase some of my leaner proteins. I get lots of fresh fruit and veggies everyday and have increased my water. Lets see if this works. I would love to see a 4 pound loss on my line one of these days.

    Here you go guys. I hope you all have a fantastic week. Peace out!!

    I am going to try something a little different for the next few days (2-3 days) Going to only have a "liquid diet" to attempt to cleanse myself of the holiday goodies. My sodium intake has been very bad along with the sugars and carbs.

    Think I will give that liquid diet a try myself.

    We are talking about beer, right? :smokin:

    Beer was my first thought! :drinker:

    LOL not going to deny I have gave myself a treat of a beer or two (since burbon apparently has to many calories...150 per shot REALLY?!?!?!?) most light beers are 95 kal each per 12 oz. but no I was referring to smoothies and veggie drinks.

    I went back and edited last weeks weigh in because the numbers just are not adding up compared to what I have in my reports.

    LWW = 203.7
    CWW = 199.7
    Loss = 4.0

    Looks like last week's gain was probably from all holiday chips and junk food. Over two weeks I'm down 1.1 pounds. Now to keep going in the right direction.

    Greetings and Salutations men,

    I hope you all had a great week. Dave holds the top honors this week with a very impressive 4 pound loss. BJ and Josh continue to steadily drop impressive numbers.

    Me? I am sucking hind teet this week. I don't know what the hell is wrong. At my weight, I should be shedding the weight pretty easily. I've been thinking of trying this liquid diet also. I'm just worried that I'll initially lose some good numbers but when I go back to solid foods, the pounds will just come back on.

    I am keeping my calories down and I am staying active. Haven't had time recently to get on the treadmill but have been working out in the yard or on other projects quite a bit.

    Guess I'll see what next week brings. With that said, here is this week's chart. Have a great week men.

    No worries on the 1 pound. You will kill it this next week and good for you an signing up for the 5k. Shower shoes are a MUST for the gym. Been there and done that on the athlete's foot.

    Yeah, i gave up drinking a few years ago, just had to.

    I can't IMAGINE try to lose weight but still drinking.

    Of course i wasn't the guy who had a beer or two, i had a beer or 20.

    Hey guys,

    I am sooo sorry, I totally spaced the chart today. I did some updates this morning and had planned to do the chart after lunch.
    Things got a little hectic at work and I lost track of this completely. I will try and get it up in the morning.

    Well, here we go guys. Josh 1 and BJ again continue to let the pounds drop. Way to go guys. I am going in the wrong direction and need to turn things around. Josh 2 had a little stumble but I am certain he will be back in the blue next week.

    Busy here at work so gotta fly. Have a great week.

    Howdy Men,

    Only 3 of us updated this week. 2 of you all did great. One of us not so good. I am embarrassed and pretty pissed with myself. I got to quit making excuses and just get with it. Wish me luck...

    BJ, awesome job this week!! Josh, 0.4 absolutely counts, nicely done!

    Here is the chart,
