Hey Brad - congrats on doing so well! I have been doing poorly - work stressing me out, still blowing it in the evenings. Getting enough exercise to keep the weight gain down. I *think* I'm putting on muscle too - stronger, and I feel chunkier in the chest and arms. SW: 234.4 LW: 226.8 CW: 228.8 GW: 195 Gain 2 (boo!) May…

Brad - outstanding! I stayed flat. Some good, some bad, ended even. SW 234.4 GW 195 LW 226.8 CW 226.8 No change.

Hi guys, Tim-that's tough. Be safe! Yes, please, let's hope things settle down, we need peace! Steve - glad you're making such good progress! Brad - go get that dough while your drop your first 25, mate! Todd - good to see you back! I ended March in my same rut - doing great with my exercise, but undisciplined evening…

Wow guys. Lots going. 7 homicides - what a rough week. I'm fighting a real bad habit - I am *so good* all day, exercising and eating super light, but am not disciplined in the evening. I start with a healthy meal, then have a couple of glasses of wine, then snack. The good and the bad are balancing, and I'm staying even.…

Brad - love those healthy snacks and intentionality! That's the spirit. Dbw - flat weeks are going to happen. I had a decent week. Still struggling with my evenings - I do well all day, exercise a lot, but in the evening, tired, I blow it. I see the pattern and I'm getting on it. Still, dropped a bit: SW 234.4 GW 195 LW…

Hey TD - hope you get through that backlog, and can get a little exercise in - something is better than nothing!

Up and down week - did well mostly, then one pig-out day, then back on focus. SW 234.4 GW 195 LS 226.6 CW 226.2 Loss .4 pounds Exercise good, eating during day good, evening falling apart. You can't outrun your fork! Will get back on track and do better. Lean this summer!

Hey guys, Back from a week in Hawaii with family and not my computer. Got lots of exercise in + snorkeling / exploring and at clean, and dropped a couple! SW: 234.4 GW: 195 LW: 228.4 CW: 226.6 Lost 1.8 Looks like we're all doing well. Keep it up everybody, and we'll all be healthier and feeling better this summer.

Love those woodworking photos! When I retire...... I was on a business trip, Sales kickoff, all week. And you can imagine the food and drink on offer. Feel pretty good that I worked out every day and I only gained a pound. SW: 234.4 GW: 195 LW: 227.2 CW: 228.4 Gain 1.2 Off to Hawaii next week, and much fatter than I'd like…

Hi guys - back after traveling around the world and a rough week recovering. Generally making some progress, through the past couple of days have been not so good. Brad - nice to see a solid drop! Tim, you're doing great. SW: 234.4 GW: 195 LW: 228.8 CW: 227.2 Loss 1.6 Out of 34 days this year, I've got in 29 exercise days…

Hey guys - hope you'll welcome me back. Lost my focus the last few weeks and put on a few pounds. And I haven't been there to support you all. SW: 234.4 LW: 228.2 CW: 230.4 GW: 189 This year - down 4, net. Was down 12 at one point. Stronger - up to 4x225 on the bench, from not being able to get any beginning of the year.…

Argh... stuck in the 222-225 zone. SW 234.4 LW 222.4 CW 223.8 Gain 1.4 November - has to be the month I break through 220, need to get close to 215.

Guys - Steve, love that progress! Healthy food and some exercise is the way to go. I've been traveling and had some parties but exercising and skipping some meals so it's been weird. Latest: SW - 234.4 LW - 223.2 CW - 222.4 Loss - 0.8 I've been wearing size 36 pants and L shirts, bought some "trim fit" dress shirts that…

Tough week at work - lost the focus. Hurt my foot last weekend, which has hindered my exercise (still getting in, though) and tough week at work hurt my focus. Need to sleep better! Steve - love your posts. Especially your success fitting into 2x smaller sizes - awesome! SW - 234.4 GW - 194 LW - 222.8 CW - 223.2 (up .4)

SW - 234.4 GW - 194 LW - 224.2 CW - 222.8 (down 1.4) Steve - great, nice to see that drop. I read something interesting this week that is sticking with me. It was an article that said focusing on goals is counter-productive - that for as long as one is short of the goal, you're failing. The alternative is to focus on the…

Steve - man, you're down 55 pounds - that's awesome brother! Another 30 to 255 will be transformational. Hang in there and keep the faith. dbw - staying even while on vacation is an accomplishment. Hope you get to 200 or at least close in September! SW - 234.4 GW- 194 LW - 226.2 CW - 224.2 down 2 (back under 225 - for…

Guys - did some backsliding over the past couple of weeks. I think it was last week, got busy at work, drank a little, ate a little, and BOOM! Up 5 pounds. WTF!!!! Getting back at it - man, you slip on the habits and getting back to being hungry is hard! So.... SW 234.4 GW 195 LW 224 CW 226.2 Now I am going to have to BUST…

Up and down few weeks. After dropping in July, I bounced up in weight - wife came back from a trip and I started having wine in the evening with her - and now I'm back to eating clean. Exercised 9 days in a row. LW 224 CW 222.8 Loss 1.2 SW 234.4 GW 194 I'll be in the 221's next week, and under 220 this month!

Congrats on having the grandchild! Enjoy! Dave - down 2 on vacation, that's awesome! Brad - welcome! All, I've had a good week (and I need to correct my SW data). SW - 234.4 (correction) LW - 226.4 CW - 222.4 down 4 since last week! GW - 195 Also, I just pulled out the tailor's tape to measure waist / hips, and my…

Hi Horstbc, I'm with Steve - it's been a struggle, and you can do this! When I started MFP I went semi-paleo and cut fast carbs. Not perfect, but do my best. Sugar, breads (anything made with flour), potatoes - they spike your blood sugar and end up making you more hungry. Our bods are built for veggies, berries and lean…

Hi guys. Down a pound this morning. :-)

Brett - breaking 25 BMI is outstanding! Keep it up!

Thanks guys. db - enjoy that tour! Getting back in the groove. Skipped all booze two nights in a row - yikes, counting that as a win? Hard, when the wife is knocking back a really nice Sauv Blanc..... Making progress: CW: 226.4 (down 1.2) LW: 227.6 SW: 235.4 GW: 195 Cheers, mates!

Another good day, all!

Thanks Steve! Ran 5.4 miles this morning, off to a good start.

Start of the second half of the year! July 1. Got a 5 mile run in. Down only 7 pounds this year so far, so I need to pick it up the second half. I'll aim to report in to be accountable and support you all. Now 227, goal is 195 by Christmas! Let's stay on the healthy track!

Hey guys - I hope to rejoin and get plugged in and do better this second half of the year. Hope you'll have me back even though I've been mostly absent. I'm struggling with complacency - down from obese to merely "heavy" so I lost the commitment. Well, now its July 1, start of the second half of the year, and I am "on a…

Hi everyone - Dale here. 54, married, professional regular guy in a Silicon Valley software company. Got up to 268 four years ago, started on MFP, dropped 40 over 2 years, and then bounced around in the 225 - 240 zone. Started the year at 235, and decided 2017 is the year I get under 200. Dropped 9 pounds so far - really…

I'm overdue - I'll have a decent report next Friday. Busted through 226, so I'm a solid 9 pounds down this year. (Going back to my original start on MFP, 42 pounds, but I restarted this year.) I was reflecting last night - I'm only about 10 pounds heavier than when I got out of college 33 years ago. Not bad!
