Started my current journey on 8/31/2018 with a morning weigh-in of 210.8 lbs. and a goal of 180.0 lbs. by 64th birthday later this month. Dropped 180.0 goal to 177.0 lbs. somewhere along the way.

1.8 lbs. to go as of this morning and I can smell the finish line and will soon be ready for maintenance land. This visual is gratifying for me for all the discipline I’ve had every single 170 days and 32 lbs. less so I’m tooting my horn. I’ll share more later, including photos.

    By the way, I didn’t join MFP until late October: hence the linear line until the zig zagging appears. I entered my weight on 8/31/2018 and then for each day since being an MFP member. I’m grateful for so many people here who have motivated me. I was very motivated to begin with but the MFP-enganced motivation was like motivation on steroids.

    Thanks everyone. Today was the target date to reach my initial weight goal of 177.0 lbs. I weighed-in at 177.8 lbs. so, mathematically, goal not achieved. But, it really was in the grand scheme of things. I'm continuing being disciplined with today being 173 consecutive days of utmost discipline (that works best for me). I've set my maintenance target weight at 172-177 lbs. and am resetting my weekly weight loss to 0.5 lbs. after being at 1.5 lbs. since joining MFP last late October.

    So, exactly 33.0 lbs. lost in 173 days = 1.3 lb. per week, slightly less than the MFP 1.5 lbs. per week. Let's "blame" it on portion logging error because I didn't use a food scale. Good enough and I promise I'll never have to do this again. I'm now age 64 and there are better things I'd rather do with my disciplined effort than melt the fatso that I allowed to wrap around my body from practicing gluttony, being lazy and in denial.
