Week 1 Weigh In:
Oct SW: 173.5
Current: 168.0

I'm expecting this number to change a little in the coming days with TOM around the corner! Plus, a majority of this is water weight, and will balance itself out soon enough. I'm happy with it and will take it after finally finding a little more focus!

@cmhubbard92 That first weigh-in after really getting back into it is always a pleasant one! Ride the wave as long as you can, and well done!

I took the day off logging to spend the day with my sister since it was our dads birthday. He passed away 7 years ago… but I still love to celebrate his birthday💗

Weigh in Week 2
PW: 143.3
CW: 144.6

It's up but I totally expected it to be worse so I'm good.

Visiting my son in Seattle this weekend so my food choices will probably not be the best but if you have ever walked around that city you know I'll get my exercise in. Lots of hills!

@DaffyGirl88 Have a wonderful time in Seattle with your son! Never been, but my husband and I were just talking about the Kracken last night, so I can see us taking in a hockey game there at some point!!

Weigh in : 187.6

Hi Everyone,
This is Paul, first post in this group.
I sought out this group challenge as a way to keep me accountable to weighing in each week, monitoring and making progress, in spite of whatever challenges come my way.
I am a dad of 5 kids, 1 a sophomore in college, one a h.s. senior, a 9th grader, 7th grader, and 4th grader.
We live in Minnesota.
I work from home and also lead a cycling club.
My wife has been sick off and on for the past 6-8 years (Lyme's and Mold Toxicity/Auto immune) which leads me to a lot of emotional eating and drinking that doesn't make me feel better or resolve anything.
In January 2021 I was the heaviest I have ever been at 296lbs. Scary.
I have large Scandinavian genetics - my uncles and dad are all big men. I like to think I am more muscle than fat but that doesn't really matter on the scale and with my fitness goals and interests.
I love biking and ride a long distances, swimming laps at the Y, and try to keep up with all my kids' activities while making sure the house doesn't fall apart when my wife needs the day off due to illness.
I have two goals for 2021 in regards to cycling. To finish a 120 hilly gravel bike event in Iowa - SWIGG at the end of June and a 100 mile hilly gravel event mid-May in S. MN. I have attempted both events multiple times and they are the hardest 10 hours on a bike you will ever do.
I know my wattage/power on the bike will increase just by cutting weight. I also know that I cannot cut weight through biking alone. I need to end the week in a calorie deficit.
Recovering after having COVID in April has taken way longer than expected and my biking gains this summer less than I had hoped for. So with a renewed focus, I am starting this October to lose weight and gain biking fitness. I bought a smart bike trainer and training software, Trainer Road, and am committed to completing their training plan to achieve my bike goals for next year.
I am committed to losing weight through improving my diet, cutting calories, drinking more water, and making smart substitutions when I am hungry.

Friday morning, U.S. Central time weigh in.

Today's weight: down 2 lbs this week to 278. Progress.

Not as much bike activity this week as I have a race coming up on Saturday (tomorrow).
