I had to move down to my last belt notch today, pretty soon will either have to.punch a new hole in the belt or go buy a smaller one.

Just get better, heal up, figure it out when you feel better.

Great Job, I look forward to being able to say that myself. We must have started about the same spot. My highest recorded weight was 427.

Thanks everyone, and yes @NovusDies they did a complete overhaul of the private island not to long ago, maybe last winter. It was the highlight between there and Nassau. We didnt buy anything wooden in Nassau, all we got was some souvenirs for our kids.

It was amazing, as far as food went probably my favorite was the made to order omelets on the cruise. I love a good omelet and they had this "omelet bar" where they would custom make pretty much any omelet you could imagine. On the ship I loved going up to the bow of the ship, yes I am corny, I did the Titanic pose a…

Today we are celebrating my oldest 2 sons birthdays. October 2nd and October 3rd, they are 23 and 21 this year. They want to go to a local pizza place and sports bar for a family dinner. My goal is to stay within my tdee maintenance calories today.

I have had a bad relationship with food my whole adult life. It is tough to control the urges. In the past and even some this time I would purge my house of all of the "bad foods" and then ask/tell my wife not to bring any of those foods into the house. If a box of cookies showed up I would get mad at her for buying them…

Thanks everyone, it means alot

I havent worn an XL shirt since the 90's, congrats!

It's just interesting to me what people use for goals, especially ones who have had sustained success. I started back in July trying to stay under 2500 calories. While I could do that, I did feel a little stressed after awhile. More recently I set my goal at less than 3000. If I am smart and diligent about meal…

I dont know how you keep your calories that low, I can go at 2200ish for a few days then I need a higher day. Most the time I try to stay in the 2500-2800 category

Glad I could help in a little way, congrats on dropping down to the 200's. Reading about you doing that inspires me to reapply and keep up the fight myself.

Thanks, I have missed the support the support from LL for the last couple weeks

My goals for today: 12k steps I have been slacking in at 10k or so for a couple weeks Less than 3k calories Catch up on reading everyone's posts

@NovusDies, hope all is still going well.

GREAT JOB MERPH, INSPIRATIONAL!

3 days into vacation have been pretty good. I have eaten too much but that is expected, nothing crazy just right around my "maintenance" which is pretty high imo. Stone Mountain was AMAZING if you have never been. There definitely is a reason they call it HOTLANTA though. We are heading to the port to get on the cruise…

I am a big believer that a measuring tape is a better judge of progress than a scale. With water weight and just daily fluctuations the scale has a tendency to irritate me more than it helps me. The tape measure never lies in my experience.

I have the biggest loser digital scale, it seems pretty consistent

7915 steps right now🏃‍♂️ Somewhere around 4k calories big guestimating going on 🍹 Moonshine taste testing in Gatlinburg is a cheap way to get a buzz quick like 🤪 Not a bad first day of vacation

🦸‍♂️

Last day before vacation just finished 12k steps 😎 2500 calories 😎 For tomorrow 9/6 Traveling, so we are gonna lower expectations 8k steps 🚗 3500 calories 🌮🍕🍹 Try to mostly accurately log all food and alcohol consumption during vaca 🦸‍♂️

I would urge you to get a scale, probably the best investment I made. They are not too expensive around 10 dollars or so on amazon. Etekcity Food Digital Kitchen Weight Scale Grams and Oz, Backlit, Stainless Steel(2019 Upgraded) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0113UZJE2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_SZZBDbMW9QJT8 That is the one I got…

I just had a feel good non scale/scale victory. I usually weigh myself after waking up in nothing but my underwear. I have a digital scale in the bathroom. That is when I found I get my lowest weight readings for the day. We have a little gym at work with a doctors office like slide weight scale. It goes up to 400 pounds…

The scale is not being kind to me too. I gained 5 pounds this weekend according to that little devil. I know that I ate more than I have been, and drank some adult beverages. Guestimating my intake I was about at my TDEE so there is no way I ate/drank 17500 calories extra. I expect by Thursday/Friday this week it will…

You my friend are a super hero 🦸‍♂️🦹‍♂️🏋️‍♂️

All accomplished, have a great holiday weekend y'all. Dont drink too many empty calories 🍷🍸🍹🍺🍻🥂. But have some fun.

Yesterdays results 13k steps 2400 calories Not enough sleep Today's goal 12k steps 2500 calories More sleep 6+ hours

I agree completely with your last paragraph. My best friend had surgery and I have watched him make himself sick multiple times. Breaks my heart. When the doctor brought up the subject with me those memories were one of the big motivations for me to get started.
