I can't tell you what to do, but I can share what has helped me. I was the same way, I would desire to eat well and start out doing so, but stress, time, other people would be my excuse for why I fell off the wagon over and over again. Then in Feb 2017 I ended up in the Cardiac unit and that gave me pause, by May my…

SW - 341 (2017) 371 (2011) GW - 205 LW - 215.8 CW - 219.4 Gain - 3.6 Hi guys, it's been a crazy month. Between school and having to lay off 14 people and reduce 9 others hours to survive the state cuts I've been in overdrive. I did get to the last round of interviews to work for a fitness resort in Tucson and as of last…

Hi guys, sorry I have MIA. My weight has been pretty stable, I dropped to 212 then went back up to 215 and have been hovering between 215 and 218, but my fat percentage since the 19th has dropped from 22.9 to 20.6%, so I am less focused on weight and now focusing on fat percentage and measurements. Arms and chest…

That's actually a two week, drop and I imagine I'll cone back up a bit after I end this program. I'm going to reintroduce more variety soon including more carbs and more carbs means more water weight, but I'm still stoked. Here's to new belt holes and new belts!

Nice work guys! Brad I find I still measure by the scale, but the true measure is how we feel and look. 3miles and body changes is serious success! Tim sorry about the septic, but a serious burn is always good. Hope the rest of the move is smooth. Going into the last couple weeks of this eating program and trying to stay…

Nice job Dave! Sodium intake has been through the roof rhis,week, so chalking up my gain to water. We'll have to get the sodium under control. SW - 341 (2017) 371 (2011) GW - 205 LW - 220.2 CW - 220.8 Gain - .6lbs

Hi Gents, Don't get discouraged by weight fluctuations, when you feel like you are getting off track, it can be discouraging and that can lead to a big spiral down. Remember you are human and going to trip, but get back up at the next meal, not the next day. This will help you not set yourself up for more trips and…

Good luck with the move Tim! It has been a wild ride since 2011, but the goal is in site and I am committed to reaching it and beyond. I believe once I get my fat stores gone I'll bottom out about 195, but then I will work on building back up some lean muscle and should end up about 225, but at 15% body fat. Currently, I'm…

Nice job on the loss Tim and Brad sounds like you might be gaining muscle and losing fat, thst is a huge accomplishment! Keep up the good work guys. SW - 341 (2017) 371 (2011) GW - 210 LW - 226.8 CW - 224.6 Loss - 2.2lbs This week on the eating program I'm following we eliminated sugar and grains and high carb veggies,…

SW - 341 (2017) 371 (2011) GW - 210 LW - 241 CW - 239 Loss - 2 I added more fat and protein to my diet and tried to increase overall calories to get things moving. Dave, you got this and Tim, have a safe trip back.

Nice job everyone and have a safe trip Tim. Try as I might I could not will that scale to move. Started my classes early on saturday and start my second job weekend after next. I also signed up with my health coach for another 90 days to help me stay focused and on track through all the stress. SW - 341 (2017) 371 (2011)…

Nice job guys and Dave's rightTim. Just get back on at the next meal, we don't have to kill the whole day.

Thanks Tim, you had a great week too! it's been hard not getting workouts in, but I am getting after it this week. Still would like to be as close to 225 as possible for June 1st. Lets do this guys! SW - 341 (2017) 371 (2011) GW - 210 LW - 244.4 CW - 242.2 Loss - 2.2 I was surprised by the drop as I'm trying to slow the…

SW - 341 (2017) 371 (2011) GW - 210 LW - 248.8 CW - 244.4 Loss - 4.4 Between gout and back issues I've been doing very little walking or lifting, but my diet is strong and I did make it yesterday, but I'm not sure I can move today. Have a great week and let's be losers!

SW - 341 (2017) 371 (2011) GW - 210 LW - 248.8 CW - 248.8 Loss - 0.0 Nice job Brad! Tim hope you guys feel better soon. Dale, I'm with Ya, I came in flat, but ive been fighting a gout attack since last Sunday. I've juice fasted, I'm doing every home remedy and I figured, I'd post a big number, but nada. Enjoy this…

Nice job guys! Tim I hope things settle down, we really need some peaceful times. Brad good luck and you can do this! Todd welcome back, now we just need Toby, he's doing great. If you had told me I would be a vegetarian a year ago I would have laughed and said your nuts, but it's the best thing I've ever done for myself…

Nice job Brad! I think the gluten is the answer for me. I feel so much better and the little patches of puffiness all over are almost gone. The doc said it will take about 90 days for the inflammation to completely relax, but off to a good start. Best thing is while I've been in 38's for about a month, I had not gotten…

Sorry to hear that Tim, Sending positive prayers to your neck of the woods. It's been a weird week. I feel like my clothes fit better, I actually tried on a pair of 36's and they buttoned my workouts are solid, my walkings been off this week, but otherwise, i feel like I've lost a ton and the scale literally didn't budge.…

I'm learning that certain carbs and sodium can fluctuate my weight by quite a few pounds, so being more careful before weigh in. SW - 341 (2017 371 (2011) GW - 210 LW - 256.5 CW - 254.2 Loss - 2.3lbs Going to shoot for a big loss this week, need to get under 250, feel like I have a mental block.

Nice job guys, losses are good. Did not make good food choices, mostly higb sodium and to much cheese. Refocusing and tightening up my game. I would like to be 225 by June 1st. Time to get serious again. SW - 341 (2017 371 (2011) GW - 210 LW - 255 CW - 256.5 Gain - 1.5lbs

You guys are rockin the big losses, nice job. SW - 341 (2017 371 (2011) GW - 210 LW - 257 CW - 255 Loss- 2lbs

Thanks, Tim! I am finding my way and starting a blog soon once I finish getting the page built. I am planning on getting my Health Coach certification down the line and hoping this sparks some conversations eventually. Although it's a bit warm for the jacket now. :D

SW - 341 (2017 371 (2011) GW - 210 LW - 258.6 CW - 257 Loss- 1.6lbs Way to go, Tim! Git-r-Done! I cannot seem to get my posts to come through on the Android and the hotspot reception is terrible in this little pocket of hills I am in. I am still going down, but not as fast and part of that is trying to increase my muscle…

I've fought being heavy my whole life, I've been fit and I have been fat, but this time my effort centered on my "why", not the mechanics. I got the "what food" and the exercise pieces down, it was the behaviors and patterns around food that I needed help with. I worked with a Health Coach who helped me look at my…

SW - 341 (2017 371 (2011) GW - 210 LW - 263.2 CW - 260 Loss- 3.2lbs Nice job everyone! We got this guy's, 2018 the year of the Losers! I bought 38 jeans and slacks this week, I love NSV's!!
