DBW - per your earlier post, here are the daily habits I’m tracking right now: 1. Start the day with 12oz of water 2. Get 10,000 steps (focusing on this daily, trying to strength train 3x/week) 3. Log food 4. Read the Bible/pray I’m trying to keep my list short and focused since I lose steam if I spread my attack.

Still hovering at 247 since last month. I've been consistent on exercise but need to dial in the eating. In general, even without the weight showing it, I feel better than last month, which is encouraging.

FYI I'll try to check on here monthly this year instead of weekly. Going to try to keep my trendline going down long-term but I haven't been chatting online much in recent years.

Hey DBW, stick with it! The reasons you listed are good motivators! I got down to 235 last year around August then had a few bad ankle sprains that I let push me into a spiral instead of working through it and sticking with my progress. Jumped back up to 249 and now at 246 and going again.

Way to keep progressing! I've still been doing well on activity but am struggling to control my eating. Last: 251.6 Current: 252.6 Gain: 1 lb

Good job, dbw! You're much closer to your final goal than I am! I want to get to 190 eventually, but for the moment I want to get back under 250. Last: 252.2 Current: 251.6 Loss: 0.6 lbs

I've been working hard on my food intake and have actually been logging with Lose It! instead of MFP lately since I tried that a while back and like how quick it is. I still like the community on MFP and the weight tracking/image tools in the app. Last: 256.6 Current: 252.2 Loss: 4.4 lbs

I was on a work trip this past weekend and then in all-day client meetings for the first few days after getting home, and I was not careful with all the free food. It shows in this check-in! Last: 253.7 Current: 256.6 Gain: 2.9 lbs

Nice work! Keep it up! Last: 255.9 Current: 253.7 Loss: 2.2 lbs

Hope that helps keep you moving the right way! My exercise has been fantastic lately: running or doing P90X3 almost every day and being more active on evenings/weekends. Feeling much stronger; but my eating has been garbage, leading to weight gain. Working on controlling that again - specifically in the evenings - to move…

I successfully lost weight during my trip! How have the past few weeks been for you guys? Last 257.0 Current 252.3 Loss 4.7 lbs

I'm going to be traveling the next two weeks, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to check in. If not, I'll post once I'm home (and hopefully have another loss) Last 257.4 Current 257.0 Loss 0.4 lbs

Back to moving downward, but no big change. I'm still within a couple pounds of my heaviest all-time weight, so I'll have to keep a strong focus on my nutrition (my focus habit for the month) Last 258.8 Current 257.4 Loss 1.4 lbs

Nice loss! I went the wrong way this week but have kept my workout habit going steadily. Hoping to add calorie counting for the next month and keep both habits going together. Last: 254.6 Current: 258.8 Gain: 4.2 lbs

Good job on the workouts. Keep it up! I've been focusing on the workouts still and am getting more consistent. Once I have been steady with that change for at least a month I'm planning to add another habit (sleep or tracking food) and slowly stack habits. I'm not seeing progress on the scale yet, but things are fitting…

@dbw1976 - good job sticking with it! Sounds like a good workout. I had to go to an out-of-state funeral this week and did not work out while there, but focused on eating better than I usually do while traveling and also played tag with my kids and nephews/nieces. Back home now and went for a run this morning (thankful…

Wow, @tdonlin, I'm glad you're recovering and that the tumor wasn't cancerous. Sorry about the other news. The home gym sounds fun! I'm really enjoying having the treadmill but need to get my eating on track to go along with it. @dbw1976 - good luck on the HIIT workouts. Sounds like a good plan. Last 252.2 Current 255.6…

Last 253.6 Current 252.2 Loss 1.4 lbs Went for a run on my new treadmill late last night, and it felt great. I have to be careful since I weigh so much right now and don't want to hurt my knees or exacerbate my plantar fasciitis, but I'm trying simple interval runs with plenty of walking involved.

Last 252.8 Current 253.6 Gain 0.8 lbs Sick again. Wrong direction again.

I'll try to pick up the where tdonlin left off and post tables with progress along with my posts going forward. Catching up from yesterday's: Let me know if your starting weight or goal weight are off. I'm filtering my table to only show folks who have posted in the last 100 days, so it'll be easy to include anyone who…

Hey dbw! Glad to see you! I agree that simply logging calories is probably my best bet to get serious about keeping my trend going. Sorry you gained, but also, congrats on staying so consistent in your weight over the years I've been on this chain. You've managed to keep to that small range while I've bounced all over the…

Logging helps me pay attention to how often I'm eating and especially how frequently I'm snitching food as I walk through the kitchen. When I'm helping my kids get a snack, I tend to grab a little of whatever they're having, and that adds up like crazy.

Last 250.6 Current 249.8 Loss 0.8 First mini-goal: turn my weight trend green for the past 30 days

LWW 252.6 CWW 250.6 Loss 2.0 I fell off the wagon for a long time when I switched to Noom for 6 months. Just now getting back into MFP logging and am almost back to my highest all-time weight. Back to the slow, consistent progress that I was getting before the Noom experiment.

You’ve got this, dbw! I’ll try to remember to keep checking in over the next few months, but my wife and I are going to try Noom for 6 months together. I’ll be doing my food logging in there and taking my weight over there mainly. LW: 233.2 CW: 233.0 Loss: 0.2 lbs I still have an overall downward trend for the year at an…

I’m clocking in at the same weight again, so continuing my trend of very slow, nearly imperceptible progress. LW: 233.2 CW: 233.2 No loss/gain

Way to go guys! Seems like you’re both trending down ever since I last remembered to log in here. I’ve been trending down for over six months now at a very slow pace (Averaging 0.2 lbs per week) but even that looks and feels good on a graph! LW: 234.6 CW: 233.2 Loss: 1.4 lbs

Happy late Independence Day! Been sick for the past week or so but was going steadily on the eating and exercising before that (other than the holiday weekend). LW: 236.8 CW: 234.6 Loss: 2.2 lbs

The yard looks awesome, Tim! I spent the last few weekends refinishing my deck and managed to lose a couple pounds in the process. Switched from paint to stain so it took a lot of sanding. LW: 239.0 CW: 236.8 Loss: 2.2 lbs
