Howdy men!
Glad to see some of us back. I think we all may have needed a little break or just trying to catch up to stuff. End of summer forces all sorts of projects around my house to prepare for winter. I've personally had a good summer on the weight loss train. I had a doc appointment this week exactly 1 year to the day from my last appointment. I had lost 33 pounds since then. That was a decent feeling.
Dave and Steve, you guys are rocking. I've got to figure out how to keep moving forward over the fall and winter months since I'm not going to have the huge amount of yard work to keep me moving. We are settling into the new house, so I'm hoping I can get my wood shop business into motion keeping me busy and moving.

Absolutely!!!
Please just give a little introduction about yourself to the group. As you can see in the chart, give me a starting weight, goal weight and last week's weight. I'll take it from there.
I usually ask that I get your updates by Friday and post the new chart on Monday. I've been kinda slacking lately. New members here will help invigorate me to be a little more prompt on my updates too.
Welcome and glad to have you aboard. We are here to help and motivate each other. My current hero is StevLL, who has literally changed himself mentally and physically.

Brilliant! Thanks tdonlin!
Always been battling my weight and now weigh my heaviest at 318lbs @ 6ft 3. Got my first kid on the way and want to get into shape as the weight always affects the confidence. Simple things like going to the beach or for a swim. I've got a while until then, but have a fair bit to lose so got to start now.
I played rugby and used to work out a lot mainly lifting weights. But things easily get in the way and life happens. My little brother has also started lifting, and I cannot have him stronger than me haha he will never let it go! So here it goes!
CWW = 318
LWW = 318
Loss = NA

Ohh and my goal is 224lb by Christmas next year.0

Good morning Men! I hope you are all having a great week and are hitting your mini goals. Personally, I'm just trying to stay focused and keep a positive attitude. I tweaked my back somehow this weekend and am having more that a little difficulty in moving and sleeping. I need to give it a chance to do some healing, but also need to keep moving so that it doesn't stiffen up too much.
Jermaine, you and I are pretty much the same weight. That is kind of making you my current inspiration and competition. I think you'll have the advantage due to our age difference, but that just means I need to focus a little more on my nutrition.
Cheers and keep up the great work everyone!!

First week has went well. Starting the NHS Couch to 5k. 3 walks/gentle jogging done this week and really enjoying it far.
LWW = 318lb
CWW = 311lb
Loss = 7lb0 -
And the new guy shows us all how it's done!!! Nice job Jermaine! Dave, not too shabby on your part either. Between the two of you guys almost 10 pounds lost. That is awesome. I'm hoping some of the others post their updates soon. If so, I'll update the chart.
I mentioned my back has been really bugging me and it showed on the scale. I'm feeling a little better now, so hope I'll be in the negative column next week.

Welcome jmdawg!
Challenging week. Had a conference and the food was just too good. But managed to be strict the rest of the week and got one run in.
LWW = 311
CWW = 307

I forgot to weigh myself each of the past few weeks, so I'll make sure I do it Thursday or Friday this week. Jermainejjd and jmdawg - nice to meet you!0

Hey Guys, the proverbial poo has hit the fan here at work for me this week. It has been a cluster all week. Not sure if I'll get the chart up or now. Just for the record, I'm putting my weekly weight as the same.0

I've lost focus on my eating big time ever since a work trip I took last month and have been pigging out.
SW: 248.4
LW: 237.6
CW: 243.0
GW: 200
I've been continuing to work out at least three times a week, so my sole focus right now is getting my nutrition back under control. Nothing will help without that.
On the bright side, my face is still thinner than in February.

Sorry you're having a rough week, Tim! Since you won't have a chance, here's a screenshot of my spreadsheet. It's not as pretty, but I've been messing around with my own version to see if I can come up with a few interesting charts sometime (but I don't have those yet). I like Excel.

No worries about the chart Tim. Thanks for all you do keeping it up. Hope your work straightens out.

Not an easy week for me. Managed to scoff a full bag of chocolate digestives without breathing. They were also my wife's who is 8 months pregnant so it didn't go down well. The fact I've got a heart beat proves she at least likes me.
Still kept up with the running which is why I showed a slight loss but need to focus on the eating this week. Nearly at my mini goal of getting below 300! Aim to get there in the next week.

OK, I have some charts up on my spreadsheet in case anyone is interested in looking at it. The spreadsheet is saved here, and you can filter to only your information on either of the Trend sheets to see the graph for only you.
The "weight trends" sheet is a straightforward line graph of how your weight has changed over time with a trendline superimposed:
The "change trends" sheet shows the total weight change during each summarized period, with positive changes showing that you lost weight during that period and negative numbers showing that you gained weight:
For either chart, you can click on a specific person's name to see only their data, and you can also click the clear filters button in the upper right corner of the filters pane (gray filter icon with a red x over top) to see the data for everyone at once. This view is more cluttered but kind of interesting as well. The spreadsheet is only backlogged through the last 8 pages of this thread as of now.
The link will also allow you to download the spreadsheet if you want to mess with it yourself too.0 -

Hi guys, it's been a crazy month. Between school and having to lay off 14 people and reduce 9 others hours to survive the state cuts I've been in overdrive. I did get to the last round of interviews to work for a fitness resort in Tucson and as of last Thursday I'm still in the running to manage their intensive week long program. Hoping I get it as it would be the perfect place for me to stay healthy and help others.
Still at 34" waist, but definitely holding a lot of water since increasing starches and going to start limiting those this week and move back towards more beans and lentils.
Goodluck guys!🌱💪😎0 -
Brad, all I can say is WOW!! Those charts are awesome. My charts are at about the upper end of my abilities with Exel. Feel free to post any and all charts you want. I tried to go in and update on your link, but it was read only.
Also, the difference in your face is amazing!
My week continues to be crazy. Last Friday, we moved our son to a house a about 70 miles north of us. However, with traffic around here, that ended up being a little over 2 1/2 hours each way. I'm also still working on a case from Hell at work. It involves a little of everything from arrest, to guns, stabbings, alcohol, drugs, and sex. This is still on top of all my other cases. Oh well, nothing like job security I guess.
Steve, hope your work gets a little back to normal for you. Good luck and fingers crossed for you and the new job too. I still can't believe you are now in a 34" waist. That is awesome!!
I hope I got the info right for everyone on the chart. Take care and have a great week everyone!

Sorry about the crazy case! That sounds like a tough time.
That first link didn't have edit privileges, I didn't even think about you guys wanting to put check-ins there directly. Here's a new link with edit privileges, so any of you can add a new check-in for yourselves on the check-in tab.

Looks like you guys all have a lot going on. Good luck with everything.
I wasn't very mindful of what I ate this weekend and I put back on some weight I had lost.

Brad, I was surfing my woodworking sites and was on woodworkers web. A couple of weeks ago I commented on someones cordless drill charging station. I just realized that was your post. I don't know how I missed that at the time!0
