Points to ponder for weighloss
I am in my late 50's and beginning it early 2013 till November 2013 I lost 70 pounds and have maintained my weight since that time. I am stating this as my "qualification" to lay out some truth to this weight loss thing. It all comes down to 4 things. 1. Throw away your calender 2. Small changes over time. 3. It really is…

Not going to repeat last year
Last year at this time I was inundated with Christmas cheer. I'm talking cookies, nut rolls, and food, oh the food. Well between Thanksgiving 2016 and Christmas I gained back about ten pounds. I went from 190 to 200 pounds. At 6'1" and fit I was OK with the weight, but not so OK that I had backslid and gained the weight…

Cheat smeat I eat what I want.

I overate by 500 calories yesterday....
....... and I don't care. I think it's important to never feel guilty when you decide to go overboard once in a while. I am diligent and have maintained for over 2 years. Every once in a while I do this. I don't know why. Yesterday was a good day starting out. In the evening I went crazy eating. I should note this was a…

Ebb and Flow
I don't visit the boards often and almost never post. This morning I was a little board and drifted back to the boards. I have been in maintenance for a little over two years and thought I would share my experience with others. I lost about 70 pounds total. I went into maintenance when I hit 195 (I'm 6'1" male). I work out…
