Men on a Mission thread

FYI - I am still at 333.8 this week. I consider this a win since I was on vacation and didn't gain anything.

Howdy men. It looks like just about everybody has lost interest in this Group thread. I think I am going to hang up posting charts for a while and maybe once summer is over, folks will have a little more time to get back to this. Just fyi, I gained another 2 pounds this last week.
Take care my friends. If anyone has any comments, feel free to post them up. I'll probably still check this thread everyday.

Tim - Probably a good idea to start up again in the fall. I will try to keep checking in, even though I haven't been good about doing it regularly this summer.
CWW = 198.9
LWW = 200.7
Loss = 1.8
The loss really surprised me since I haven't been paying much attention to what I've been eating lately and I was on a trip back to the midwest for my nephew's wedding. It could be lost muscle mass since I've also been missing my morning workout class at the Y.
I've been mentally trying to come up with some personal rules for weight loss. So far I have:
1. Every day is important and counts
2. You don't need to eat to please other people - if you've ever been a guest in a midwest farmer's house you should get this one
3. Every day is a new day - just because yesterday didn't go well doesn't mean today has to suck.
That's it so far.
If anyone has ideas to add that works for you feel free to chime in.
Best wishes,

Hi Dave,
Yep, thinking the fall is a good time to get back into this.
I love your personal rules. I need to remember and incorporate #2 myself. We do quite a few functions with other family members that are always pushing the large servings with lots of red meat and carbs and somewhat lite on the veggies.
Happy that you are back in the 100's and rocking it.

Broke the 300lbs limit it took all summer but I'm down at 298.6 had sushi and pizza today to celebrate then back to counting my calories.
Some things that have helped me
1. Started doing sprints on cardio
2. Changed my cardio every week.
3... As stupid as this is I have bin weighing out 90% of my food
4 upped my calories to 2600 2800
5 plan on dropping 50 calories a Monty till I get 2300-2500
6. Created a work out plan
7. Cooked. My food for work.
8. Make all my snacks
9. I get 2 table spoons of peanut butter if I work out that day
10 work out 5-6 days a week
And
Last but not least eating low sodeam tuna
Hope you guys have a good summer I start school on the 25th I want to be 2900 -
Btw my one year of a healthy diet is September 16th and I'm going too be under 2800

That is outstanding!!! Even as long as I have been on here and hear it over and over, it still amazes me when upping your calories that high and still losing weight is possible. You are obviously doing something right. Way to go!!0 -
Just to stay honest with myself and all of you, I am up nearly 2 more pounds this week to an all time high of 338.6. This train wreck just seems to go on and on.

I think I need to add another rule
4. Find other ways of dealing with stress than making poor food choices.0 -
Hi Dave,
I appreciate you continuing to update your status. Tough going on the gain this week. I've noticed that you are able to catch yourself before it gets out of hand though.
I was certain that I was going to be posting a loss this week. At the beginning of the week I was feeling it would be a pretty decent size loss. By the end of the week I was still betting it would be approximately 2 pound loss and maybe a bit more. Imagine my surprise this morning to see another gain. 339.9. I am just so frustrated right now. I can see myself headed to serious medical issues or worse and just cant' seem to turn it around.
Wish me luck on this next week.
Take care all and have a good week. Tim0 -
I did the ALS ice bucket challenge last week. When I watched the video, I was embarrassed by how I looked. Hopefully that motivation sticks with me for a while .
I lost 2.4 pounds this past week. Woo Hoo, finally a decent number in the right direction.0 -
Watching myself on video was the most embarrassing and motivating thing I've done in a long while. I hope this keeps up. I am down 4.3 pounds this week to 333.5.
I hope everyone is well and look forward to getting back on the wagon with weekly logging.

Still going the wrong way, but I plan to be back on track next week.
Good job Tim on the loss this week, 4+ pounds is awesome. Keep up the good work.0 -

Way to go Dave! I knew you would quickly chip away at those numbers.
This will be my 3rd week in a row that I lose weight. Not as much as the last 2 weigh-ins but still in the right direction.

Tim, great job on three weeks in a row. Keep it up.
I'm checking in tonight with my Wednesday morning weight instead of Thursday morning, because I had pizza for dinner and I'm sure the salt will make my weight balloon even though my total calories minus exercise is still in the green.
Anyway:
LWW = 204
CWW = 203.9
Loss = 0.1
So holding steady, which is good for this week. Looking for a bigger loss next week.
Again, great job Tim.0 -
Nice job maintaining Dave. I gained bit this week. I think part of it is a huge Mexican dinner I had last night. I did slip on eating a couple other times this week to though. After work tonight I'm starting a flooring project for a friend so should be burning quite a few calories. I'm going to try and be a little cleaner this next week and should be back in the loss column.

Tim - Those Mexican dinners will cause the scale to jump up, but they certainly taste good and are enjoyable to eat. It sounds like the flooring project will help burn some calories, I expect you'll be back in the loss column.
I had a good week, now to try to make it two weeks in a row.0 -
Hi Dave,
Looks like its just you and I for a bit. Nice loss this week buddy.
I think I have had a pretty good week. I lost another notch on my belt and am feeling good. The scale is really surprising me though. I've jumped on it a few times this week and it is all over the place. This morning's weigh in though put me right back at the same weight.

Ok, I hope all you men find this thread despite the changes MFP has made. Not liking some of the changes myself. Like Josh said, lets finish the year strong.

Hi Captain,

Please change my Starting Weight as: 200.2 lbs
LWW: 200.2
CWW: 198
Loss: 2.2
After 3 years exp with exercise, for me losing weight with Cardio is not a big deal, controlling my diet is becoming a big Challenge. All Indian Delicious Home made food, I cannot tell my wife not to cook, its being cooked for kids, but father is ending up eating more...
Let us see, next week I have to plan some thing, I will be happy to see all your Golden Comments to control my diet.0 -

Hi Shabbar,
Welcome back my friend. It is good to have you back here. I have reset your starting weight and we will do this together.
Indian food is delicious and I can understand your difficulty. My only advise would be to try and fill up on other more healthy things during dinner such as vegetables and water.0
