Nice to see everyone is a loser!

No idea of my current weight. It's hard to judge over here since I don't have a scale: I've been averaging over 20,000 steps a day, have been getting a number of micro-workouts in (including hiking down a mountain with a 30 lb kid on my shoulders), but have been eating a ton of junk. I feel very heavy and don't look quite as thin as when I left home, but I also am down a belt size finally which hasn't happened since i started focusing on my weight. Guess I'll find out in another week.




Keep up the good work, everyone!

Hope you are all having a great week, Let's be losers!

We'll, I didn't win my money for the past month. My short summary is I have more energy, look thinner, lost that notch on my belt, and went UP 1.6 lbs. Oh well, sometimes it has to be like that.

Keeping at it this month. All my other gains were encouraging and I'm hoping to combine all my progress with better calorie tracking this next month to get back on target for my 10% goal and win some money!

Wow Tim, good luck with the move. Sounds like a major project. Nice job Steve!

I've not been so good at paying attention to eating or logging in.

I am trying to get focused again on paying attention to what I'm eating and back to logging calories. I am about where I was at when I started on MFP back in 2011.

That has to be disheartening, dbw. Hope you can start to turn things around again! How's the move going, Tim? Steve, you have such a detailed vision for how to approach your goals - it's awesome to see you keep cranking.

I let myself slide during our family's trip to Nebraska for the 4th and have doubled down again since getting back because I don't want to waste the progress I've made over the last few months. With exercising at least a little every day since returning, standing more at work, and paying attention to everything I eat, I at least got back under my last weigh-in (about 4 lbs down from last weekend when I came home).

I'm supposed to hit 227.5 by the end of the month to win this round of my weight challenge, by my personal goal is to hit 230 by the end of the month and focus on catching up in August and September - the last two months of the challenge. Hitting 230 would position me well. Maybe I'll get lucky and over-shoot this month.

Hi Gents,
Don't get discouraged by weight fluctuations, when you feel like you are getting off track, it can be discouraging and that can lead to a big spiral down. Remember you are human and going to trip, but get back up at the next meal, not the next day. This will help you not set yourself up for more trips and discouragement. Also if you trip up and eat something that is not the healthiest choice, don't beat yourself up. That creates stress and that causes a cortisol response which causes weight gain. Find a few minutes of calm time everyday and practice intentional breathing to reduce overall stress and that helps reduce cravings caused by the cortisol response.
Let's be losers guys.

Nice job Dave! Sodium intake has been through the roof rhis,week, so chalking up my gain to water. We'll have to get the sodium under control.

I'm still struggling to move the needle much. This is mostly due to my poor diet choices, but the good news is that I've been killing my workout routine. I've been doing 4-5 a week with mostly running and reached 3 miles for the first time in years. I also am taking a progress picture each month and see a huge difference between January and now. Seeing that was satisfying.

As long as I apply discipline with my eating, I'm betting I'll start to drop more quickly again in the coming weeks.

You're not the only one who dropped off for a bit, Steve. Strength in numbers. I didn't apply discipline for a while and ate a lot of junk, so I've moved up a couple pounds. The good news is that I've still been regular on my exercise, so I'm feeling less sore after strength workouts and going further on my runs. This morning, I comfortably made it 2.91 miles before slowing down to a walk: my previous high this year was 2.25 mi.

With the mornings slowly becoming darker, it's been fun to still be waking up at 5 and seeing the sunrise. Snapped a picture of it through some construction that's happening in my neighborhood today.
