    Hope everyone had a great week. Small loss, but still in the right direction.

    I's been a bit of a rough week due to illness. Antibiotics and other meds have me feeling very bloated. Eating wasn't too bad but a couple of days were a few hundred calories over the calculated limit.
    actually lost 0.5 lb but since I don't report the decimal places it appears as no loss.

    Tim, I weighed myself again this morning and was down to 259 lb. Could you use that number instead of 260?

    Thanks!

    Hey, good morning and happy Thursday to all.

    Sorry there was no chart last week. Toddhbrown and I were on the road and boy-o-boy does it reflect on my weigh-in this week. I don't know whether to scream or cry. I have been on here for almost 1,200 days straight. What do I have to show for it? A whopping 5.6 pound loss total. I'm not sure what the Hell is going on with me and my motivation or rather lack of motivation. I have got to, got to, got to pull my head out of my a** and get with it.

    Let's see what next week brings.

    Not a lot of activity on here but for this chart Toby takes the top spot. Way to go buddy. Jason continues to head in the right direction and I packed on over 3 1/2 pounds in the last 2 weeks. :(

    Here you go guys, have a great week.

    Toby, you aren't early, you got it in just in time. I was actually posting the chart when your update popped up. Just in the nick of time :)

    Howdy men. Darn, 3 weeks in a row only 3 of us send in updates. I hope it picks up as Spring and Summer progresses.

    Fantastic news from Jason in a really, really outstanding job on his success. I am trying to keep you accomplishments in front of me to help push and motivate me along this path. Well done.

    Shabbar, welcome back my friend. I too am nearly where I started this whole journey from. Lets do this together and win.

    Here is this week's chart. Have a GREAT week.

    Sorry I've been gone about a month. Went on Spring break to San Francisco (fun day of wine tasting in Napa), then to a conference in Spokane and got out of the habit of updating MFP.

    LWW = 202.4
    CWW = 202.1
    Loss = 0.3

    Didn't realize I pretty much held steady all that time. That's good, now I need to try to make some progress.

    No change in weight. Still 255 lb.

    Sorry if I'm late.

    Greetings and Salutations Men,

    I hope you are all having a great week. 4 of us posted this week and NO gains!!! WooHoo!!! Jason continues to kick all our butts, but at least we are heading in the right direction.

    I really thought I would have a more impressive loss this week. Went back to logging and making sure I got some exercise in. Maybe it will just take bit more time before it starts to reflect at the scales.

    Keep on the lookout for any men you think may be interested in joining the group. Remember that an invite needs to be sent since it is a closed group though.

    Have a fantastic week and weekend guys and talk to you next week. Here is the chart.

    Got the all clear to resume playing racquetball from my surgeon. It's been about 8 or 9 months. Time to leave some sweat and poundage on the court.

    Here's a pic of my knee.

    Out of the habit of checking in. Other bad habits resurfacing, on the scale this morning and I gained a couple pounds.

    CWW = 204.6
    LWW = 202.1
    Gain = 2.5

    Back at again this week. Hopefully will do better.

    Alrighty men,

    We had 4 updates this week and Jason is once again just blowing the doors off this thing. Simply amazing job buddy.

    Welcome back to Tim J. We will do this thing together. I have found some of my lost mojo and sending all the good vibes your way that I can. Summer in the Pacific NW is almost upon us so we can shake off those gloomy months of crappy weather and get back out there.

    Dave had a little stumble this week but I have no doubt that will be reversed next week.

    This was my best week in a long while and I hope it is just the beginning.

    Here is the chart guys. Have a great week.

    Last week was a crazy week and I forgot to post. This next week I won't be able to post since I am going to Lubbock to pick my daughter up from finishing her first year of college. Only 3...4? more to go!

    Good afternoon Men,

    Woo Hoo, a week where no one post a gain!!! Fantastic!

    I would like to welcome BJ to the thread. BJ, feel free to post a little something about yourself and everyone else feel free to give a warm welcome. Huge congrats on being this week's top gun in the weight loss too. Also, just posting your update here in the thread is perfect. No need to pm me.

    We all have stories of how we got to where we are. Those that are "friends" of mine know my story from the "About Me" portion of my page. I've gotten to know some of you pretty well. That is what I like most about MFP. I've met a few and am looking forward to meeting some more.

    I had a decent weight loss a couple of years ago and have unfortunately gained most of it back. It is on it's way out again. Looking forward to my weight lost ticker to steadily increase.

    Jason, you are not the biggest loser this week but you are still going in the right direction. You have been on fire and I am inspired by it.

    Dave, I knew you would quickly get rid of the weight you gained last week. Nicely done!!

    Taco, as soon as you get back settled in, I'll be expecting to see your updates.

    Again, if there is someone any of you think could benefit from this thread, send them the info like I dtd for you and invite them along. I can handle a few more names on the list without a problem.

    Here is this week's chart.

    Thanks for the kind words as always Tim.

    Yeah, i was cruising till about 2-3 weeks ago, seems to be a struggle now. Not sure why, just seem hungrier lately.

    Good job to everyone. To the new guy, this is a great support for each other here.

    Let's keep shedding some pounds for the summer men!

    Hi all!
    I am a 37 yr old father of 3 and husband to a great woman, just trying to get into shape and in better health so that I can enjoy some outdoors with my family. Like I had previously said I know my weight was as high as at LEAST +340lb (my scale only went to 338). I really got tired of "breaking a sweat" just walking around the store. Not to mention my blood pressure and sugar I know was out of whack. I mean when you can take 1 bite from a piece of bacon (or just smell it for that fact) and you can feel your BP rise, it is time for a change. My first goal (and it is a huge one for me) is to get below 300lb! I realize to most 299-298lbs is still a lot but to me I ould feel like I accomplished something huge. Kind of at this moment feels like it is taking FOREVER to reach it too!

    Ok when you hit bottom, there is no where to go but up right?

    I hit 340 Sunday, which is only 3 pounds short of my highest recorded weight ever. So, I tuned up my bicycle and will be riding it or walking to work from now on. If that doesn't work, I will get my gym membership renewed.

    As Tim D mentioned a couple of weeks ago, summer weather is coming so time to get out and move. Let's do this.

    CWW 340
