I appreciate the sentiment that I believe is behind your post, but I do know the difference between deficit/maintenance/surplus. Unfortunately, today saw me landing in surplus territory, even when averages over a week... The average weight has been playing catch-up, so it seems a bit like I'm losing, though I'm not right…

It may have taken nearly two months, but I'm pleased to announce that my 28-day average has now dropped below 190.0 lbs (189.4 today). Next up: Under 185.0 on the 28-day average. Then under 184.0, as that's my BMI cutoff to the top of being class I obese (one class closer to normal).

One thing I wanted to throw in from personal experience is to look at how much and how well you are sleeping at night (or during the day if you're a night person). The issues I have personally experienced are increased exponentially when I'm not sleeping well, both quantity and quality considered. If you are struggling…

They say the best revenge is a life well lived. I screwed up most of the last 20 years, but it's not too late to start now. ... and catching the eye of someone from my past. He's off the market, and so am I, but it'd be a good boost.

@GaryRuns My gym is phasing in for opening. Went in today and it was pretty limited. A representation of most equipment, but the whole facility was not available. Got done what needed to be done, but not thrilled about how it was all set up. Can't wait for additional phases. Especially the phase(s) that will open up the…

@snowflake954 Do you make your own tomato sauce? If so, could you please share your recipe/method? Looking to enjoy more authentic cuisine.

I really need to learn how to plate/photograph food better. It was a super tasty brunch though. I'm trying out a new low cal/zero net carb bread I found at my local Aldi's. It may not be restaurant quality due to thickness for french toast, but it did its job well in this application for at home yumminess. 645 kcal total…

My first attempt at Swedish pancakes. No powdered sugar, just rationed lingonberries.

Think I did an OK-ish job with the pasta for being an American with no Italian background. Though yes, the plating skills aren't really there.

When I was on a big health kick a few years back, made a green smoothie with mustard greens and pear. I had no clue how poignant mustard greens are...

I'm surprised (but pleasantly so) that I am able to announce today that my 7-day average JUST snuck under my goal. Next goal: Under 190.0 on the 28-day average. That number is 193.6 today.
