Due to my weekly running/eating schedule Sat and Sun are when I have my lowest weigh in's.
Tuesday's are when I'm the highest weight of the week. So while I cracked 200 this morning for the first time in 22 years, by Tues I'll be around 203. I won't feel like I've really broken the barrier until I never see any weight's in the 200's. It won't be this week but perhaps the following week.
Breaking through this barrier means a lot to me as it's my second 100 pound crossing of my journey.
8-29-16 I was at 352 lbs
12-6-16 I was at 299 lbs
7-2-17 I'm at 199

I remember feeling really good back in December and people were already saying that it was very noticeable. Hard to believe that since that time I've dropped an additional 100 pounds.

Wow, Jim! You've done a fantastic job over the past 10 months. I'm blown away! Less than twenty pounds left. Are you planning now how to maintain for that time?

Thanks Sandy
Yes less than 20 pounds left, but as I approach that goal I'm realizing that it is not enough. I choose it a long time ago because it was what I weighed in high school. However back then I had much more muscle than I do now, so I'm thinking that I will want to go under that by 10-15 pounds to get were I want to be.

I think about maintenance all the time. All I can say is that I have some general thoughts but the details will be worked out later as there are just so many ways to go about it. I want to maintain the lifestyle I have now and use the tools I have picked up to keep the weight under control.
- I will always weigh every day
- I will stick with OMAD roughly 4 times a week, the other days? not sure but flexible. For sure I will indulge a bit here and there.
- Maintain a varied diet of mostly fresh whole foods but leave sugar out of it.
- Maintain exercise as part of my lifestyle

153-lbs in about 10-months! That is great. Both you and Joe really did some fantastic things. Congrats! I hope to get under 200 this summer (I haven't been there for about the same amount of time as you). I will feel like I'm under it when I don't go above it like you mentioned. Good luck!

Thanks, the way you're going you'll get there pretty soon.

Weekly weigh in, but not much else to say.
I just keep doing the same thing, eating the same foods on the same days, running on the same days.
I'd say it's very boring but I suppose nothing is boring about losing weight every week.
This week might be the week where I don't see any more scale readings that begin with a 2.
