Men on a Mission - Part 2

No change in my weight this week...still at 379, but considering some of the stuff I let myself eat this weekend, I'm pretty glad.

I'm definitely going to kick up my routine a notch. I'm going to a four day work week so I will make sure I hit the bike and weights before work each day since I will be getting home so late. I will do one body part and 30 mins on bike each day. If you don't see me log it please kick my butt!
Then we have two days a week planned for working on the landscape and house. I've got a ton of lanscaping to do and some remodeling inside. We have an 18month plan to sell and then find flatter more horse friendly property and start over. Now that I 've had ten years with the horses to learn I have a better understanding of how to set the next place up. Most importantly will be no washes or arroyos so the hay truck can get in and a taller barn so I never have to lift a bale of hay again except to bust it open to feed. :-)

Thanks t. No worries on the chart posting. I think my body has a monthly plateau. (Can it be my time of the month?) I lose weight two weeks out of the month and then either gain/stay the same for two weeks. I think it has something to do with the way I eat. On the weeks when I eat higher fat and and get my carbs from massive amounts of vegetables, I lose more. When I go with more fruits and lower my fat intake, I tend to stay the same. It works though because when I do post losses, they are usually pretty big...6 pounds or more.

StevLL, sounds like you have some serious work ahead of you. Also sounds like you have a pretty good plan on how to get there. Just don;t over do it and no worries, we will be here to kick your butt when needed.

Slight variation this week.
Down to 130.2kg

I hope all is well with you guys in the US at the moment.

No Loss! Frustrated. Gotta get my sodium right. I was at 322.4 on Thursday and today I'm back at 327. I' know I'm pushing my calorie limit, but not that much. Too tired for excercizse tonight, but look out tomorrow I'm goonna kick some butt.

OK guys, here is this weeks results. Looks like other than Paul, the rest of us had a pretty rough week. Some had it a little rougher than others. But no worries, today starts a new week.

I had a 3 pound gain this week. I knew I was not going to do well on the scale but didn't think it would be this bad. Our best friends daughter got married this weekend. She is also like a daughter to us and since about mid week, we were pretty heavily involved in wedding preparation and this completely threw me off track in eating and exercising.

This Wednesday is mine and the wife's 27th anniversary. My daughter is engaged and believe it or not, her future in-laws have the same anniversary date as us. Small world. So, we kind of did a joint anniversary party yesterday. Voila! 3 pound increase.

I'm back on track today though so let's all have a great week.

Congrats to Paul on losing this week!!!

Again late, but still in the race. Finally some good news:
LWW 114,0
CWW 113,5

Let's keep it up this way. Still waiting for that damn phone, don't know why it is taking so long for repairing it. Found out the hard way that logging works better for me than restraining my self at this moment in time. Cheers to you all

Still no weight loss this week. This is beginning to get real frustrating as it has been 7 or 8 weeks. However, I do see changes continue as my arms are looking more defined and it appears I actually have shoulder and bicep muscles now. My smaller pants also look baggy now and I may have to buy a new pair or two for work.....again. Nice problem to have.

Keep up the great work guys! We can do it!!!!!

Busy week at work so not been keeping up with the diary. No suprise that I've no loss this week, maintaining food but lacking gym time.
It's a devil to break through a plateau and it gets real depressing as the weeks go by and only miniscule losses occur.
Keep with it guys.

This weeks big winner is Stevll with a 6.6 pound loss. Fantastic job Steve. Taco, I have no doubt you will be turning it around here. Until then, your NSV's are even more amazing. I might currently be showing a little improvement on the scale, but I haven't had any of the NSV's you've had lately. Let's focus this next week and make it a good one. If you have any ideas for topics, post them up.
Way to go guys.

Hi Guys,

Count me as zero also. Work settling down now so back to the gym this week.

CW 315 LWW 320.2 down 5.2lbs which was a total suprise. My guess is it's a lot of water weight as I didn't eat really yesterday and didn't drink as much as normal. Tim i'll bet it's just water weight and within a couple days it flushes.
It feels like I've been eating all the time this week and last week and yet losing weight with ease. I'm thinking one of two things are happening. I've been kinda grazing so that litterally every two hours I'm eating something and for the first time I actually really kinda of feel hungry. (sounds bad that at almost 50 I'm just now learning what true hunger feelings feel like) It seems like my energy is through the roof and I never feel full, but seem to be satified. The second option is I have a tapeworm, but I'm really hioping it's the first one and a metabolism change.

Big NSV last week and this week. My doctor allowed me to come off all my BP oral meds and just use my patch and my water pill. I am consistently running mid-100teens/mid 60's to low 70's. The reason this is so big is that eight months ago I was wearing two patches, on five meds, plus a water pill and my doctor was estatic when I would be under 160/110. I think all the energy the past couple weeks is from not being on the BP meds.

Stay strong ya'll it was a crazy two weeks and I will get back into posting and commenting this week.

Small loss overhere: LWW 114,0 CWW 133,3.

As to the Tllstaco question about exercises: fortunately my knee is still reasonably intact, although running is not really an option for me. So for me badminton, walking en cycling. And what I tried 2 years ago was .... salsa dancing. If your knee isn't in too bad condition, this can be fun... Will start tonight with the first lesson of the new season, hope I can remember something from before summer ;-)

Hey guys I won't be near a scale till tuesday, but I was 313.6 Friday morning, so i'll take it as my loss this week. 1.4lb loss CW 313.6 LWW 315.

Hope everyone is doing well.
