    Hey everyone, let's crush 2019!

    LW: 256.4
    CW: 254.0

    Loss: 2.4 lbs

    A little short of my 3-lb goal for this week, but at least in the right direction for the first time in quite a while.

    Happy New Year all!
    I've missed posting the last three or four weeks.
    LWW = 201.0
    CWW = 203.9
    Gain = 2.9

    Holiday eating and weight, but now it's time to get back at it.

    Despite overdoing it by a long shot during the Seahawks' loss this weekend, I was still able to lose a little. I sure cleaning up storm debris all day yesterday made the difference.

    Sorry for your loss! (the Seahawks one, not the weight) It was an exciting week to be an Eagles fan, so the only thing that kept me from overeating during the game was that I was sick all weekend.

    LW: 254.0
    CW: 250.2

    Loss: 3.8 lbs

    Almost back down to my starting weight so long ago...

    I let myself snack too much at night this week. I was great during the day, but my evenings threw me off track completely.

    Hello! It's been a while since I've checked in as it's been a bit busy but I've been working hard. Weighed myself just after Christmas which was a terrible idea. Enjoyed myself way too much and paid for it. Although I have since been on a very strict no carb eating programme and it's definitely worked!

    My plan now is to skip the gym (I know!), walk more but focus on the diet for 3 months. After that I'll start hitting the gym once I'm happy the diet is sorted.

    29th Dec- 329.4lb
    25th Jan - 308.0
    Down 21lbs / 4.25lbs per week

    Howdy everyone, I've had some ups, more ups and finally some downs this last couple of weeks. I THINK I'm somewhat back on track.

    Anyways...

    Good afternoon everyone. Hope you are all doing well. If any of you are in the areas experiencing the extreme cold, I hope you and your families are staying safe and warm.

    I can't do the fancy charts like Horst but here is my old chart.

    Your spreadsheet is awesome, Tim. :) The formatting is easier to read than mine.

    Weighed myself on Thursday but forgot to post until now:

    LW: 252.6
    CW: 256.2

    Gain: 3.6 lbs

    My wife and I are both starting to hold each other accountable on our eating again, so hopefully that helps me turn back around.

    Been a tough time at the scales lately. Been somewhat buried in snow and pretty sedentary. And to be honest, eating like crap. Nice job Horst and Jermaine for the 2 pound loss each.

    The snow in Western Washington has led to a desire to eat comfort food. Not good.
    It has been about a month since I checked in and I am down a little.

    LWW = 205.8
    CWW = 204.4
    Loss = 1.4

    I got some kind of stomach bug the first half of this week and it through off my fruit-and-vegetable eating goals. Thankfully, there was only a little fluctuation and I'm back on track today.

    Hey guys,

    Hope you all are doing well. Been a little tough here with Mother Nature lately. I've been really sucking at my eating lately and Mother Nature had nothing to do with it unfortunately. I have GOT to do something to turn this nightmare train around. Wish me luck and thank you for sticking around and putting in your updates.

    I've stayed dead even since last week:

    LW: 254.2
    CW: 254.2

    Loss: 0 lbs

    Starting a 90-day workout challenge, so if I can pair that with healthy eating, it could be a good couple of months.

    Still not doing well on the weight, but my NSV for the week is that I've done the first two weeks of my strength program and am feeling more energy from it (along with really sore muscles).

    Howdy men,

    Wow, nice being able to post a loss for a change. To be honest though, I actually went up to 334.2 over the last several weeks. Nice to get on the scale this weekend and see a 3 pound loss. Lots of yard work to thank for that. Getting to be that time of year when I'm able to get out and be much more active. I'm really looking forward to spring and summer and everything that comes along with it.

    I didn't end up weighing myself this week but will be back on the train next week. Hopefully I'll be moving in the right direction again.

    Hi guys, been searching the web for some male accountability buddies... This group looks promising, but I see you've been busy for a while. Can I still join in on the "fun" :)

    Sure thing! Welcome to the group. What are your goals?

    Hi Horstbc, thanks! I'm a 44 year old guy from the Netherlands. Started at 108 kg (238 lbs) on January 1st and looking to lose 20 kg (44 lbs) in 20 months, so 1 kg per month = 2,2 lbs per month. So my goal weight is 88 kg (194 lbs) on September 1st 2020. Lot's of twenties in my goals I now realize... :)

    My weight has been up and down ever since my twenties when I gained a lot of weight during my student years. This time I'm playing a long game for once, hopefully this will lead to less disappointment about progress and more sustainable weight loss. This morning my weight was 105,9 kg (= 233,5 lbs), but I think this was a bit higher than to be expected due to salty dinner and water retention. Target for April 1st is below 104,4 kg (230,2 lbs).

    I've lost the cartilage in one of my ankles, so can't really do high impact sports. Looking to lose most of the weight through diet.

    But I did just join a gym for low impact sports, such as swimming, biking and weighttraining. My plan is to generally increase light activity during the day (some extra walking, 5 mins extra biking to work taking a detour, etc) and then do sports twice per week: one intensive bikeride (30+ mins) and one swimming session (30+ mins). Biking preferably outside, but the gym is there to remove any excuses if the weather is terrible :)

    Hope to hear your tips about what works for you and feel free to hold me accountable for my plans :) If I can support you guys in any way, let me know!
