I fall into this group too .... although as I am learning, some days feel like a decade earlier and a few a decade later :) Almost two years into this journey now. Been on cruise control for a bit now, but trying to get motivated to lose my last few for current goal and transition into a full maintain / recomp mode. Don't…

Portland born n raised, college in Seattle (UW) now in Forks, WA most of the year, but also 3.5 months each summer in Kasilof, AK ... freezing hard in the mornings now, time to head south :)

Feel free to add .... just over a year here on MFP. Sadly, not too many active friends these days and I enjoy seeing an active feed, not only to share their accomplishments, but to kick me in the rear a tad on the days I need it as well. Much of my story in in my profile and my diary is wide open. I'm usually pretty good…

6'2" 47 y/o started at 270 11 months ago currently around 187 shooting to get get to 179 and then simply put some of the muscle I've lost back on, and not worry so much about actual weight as feeling good about myself. Couldn't run a mile when I started, even slowly ... trying 12 mins or so. I ran a 10k on my own a few…

Born n raised in Lake Oswego, live on the N. Washington coast now :)

Happy to accept some adds here, not too big of a friends circle and sadly a number have gone AWOL. Diary is open, but my food is pretty boring at the moment :) a little over 80 down, nearing goal, but that just means leg two will be on my radar soon!

Washington coast for another month and then off to my Alaska summer home well into my journey, but much more to this story to come as well!

Not sure how I missed this thread earlier, but out on the West End here where we measure the rain in feet instead of inches :) Lived in Seattle (U District, Ballard, Mukilteo, Lynnwood) for a bout ten years while going to school (UW) and while I do enjoy many perks of rural life these days, I do love visiting the big city…

Feel free to add me .... work schedule keeps me to just barely logging some days, but then around a lot for a week or two, but I am at least here most every day :)

Hey, finally a subject that I am an official "expert" on :) Pacific salmon have not done well in farming situations, not the case with Atlantics. Sockeye or Red salmon are especially tough in such an environment because the majority of their natural diet are plankton / krill / other small crustacaens whereas other salmon…

Just getting ready to do mine ... I slice up the chicken breast, then use 1 tbsp of hot chili oil and 1/2 tbsp of sesame oil and then add 8-10 oz of fresh green beans or snap peas, a giant glob of minced garlic, a tsp. or so of fresh ground ginger and a dab of sea salt and fry it up super hot and quick. That has been a…

I too do 3 strips of bacon several days a week paired with two scrambled eggs ... sitting at right about -75 on the scales right now since late summer. Just have to work it in and not eat a pile!

March has been scaring me. It's a very, very busy work month and wondering if I will be able to keep my routine up well enough, so this challenge might help keep me on track some and count me in! Getting fairly close to goal, so not gonna ask myself to make a huge drop, but hoping for a decent one! Name: Bob Height: 6'2"…

Been hangin' around these parts for a bit, but haven't joined in here a lot in the past. I live in the total sticks, and not many peeps around these parts on this same journey, so looking for a few more to share this sometimes bouncy ride with :)

I spent 8 days in Hawaii last month. I didn't log at all. I did try to incorporate some healthy choices here and there, but also splurged some as well at a few meals / dessert runs. I did try to stay active to offset. I snorkeled a pile, and did several pretty decent hikes, and also did a sunrise walk every morning on the…

I have ten boxes sitting on the counter ... was chatting with the Mom of the girl I bought them from about how I'm going to have to up my trail mileage a bunch, which I will do to some degree and work them in on my "cheat" days. She had an interesting suggestion though, and that was to freeze them and then break them out…

Two places I call home these days: winter residence in Forks, WA and summer in Kasilof, AK.
