Today I met my goal of 180 lbs.  I do not think I want to set another right now, I just want to see how this fits.  My goal is to maintain and stay with the active healthy lifestyle I've come to love.

Lets see. Well I did weigh myself this morning and was 178.6 but I always weigh myself before I go to bed at night so to keep it consistant I stick with the number I was the night before.

Anyways I havent been walking that much the last 2-3 weeks. I recently joined a gym and am about to start doing some weight training. I will continue to walk but I have to begin scheduling my walks better. In these last two weeks I do not have a lot of energy for whatever reason, pretty tired all the time. I believe it to be I am not eating enough but I also feel it may be that I am not excercising enough. As I mentioned the last 2-3 weeks I havent been walking as much, about half as much as I was. I think the lack of excercise is leading to me staying up later than I am used to. My body is out of wack right now. I know this because of the tiredness, the reduced amount of sleep I am getting, I was averaging close to 8 hrs a night but that has fallen to around 6 1/2 hours. I need to get back on a schedule.

Restarted the weight loss for a challenge at work, but it ends in a little over 5 weeks and I feel I need to keep the momentum going.  So, I thought I'd join in.

Top weight (at some point) 407 lbs

Lots of downs and ups over the last few years.  When left to my own devices I'll end up between about 330 and 360, no matter how poorly I eat.  So, first goal, under 300. Although I have a scale at home, I'm doing the Monday morning weigh-in at work on a scale that only does pound increments.  However, if nothing else, it is a calibrated scale. 

Current starting weight: 348 (2/29/16)

Last week's weigh in:    327 (4/18/16)

Small weight loss to report. Time to shake things up I think to get things moving a little quicker.

Good luck with your weigh ins.

This week 180.6 4/252016

Went up +1 lbs this last week. Actually not feeling too aweful about it. Actually quite the opposite. I feel like I am on the verge of a breakthrough of sorts. I have switched up from my walking routine, since I got my fitbit I have been walking 5-7 miles a day. I joined LA Fitness 2 weeks ago and started a new routine. I go 3 times a week to the gym, I do lifting and then cardio after lifting. I usually do about 20-25 minutes of cardio via treadmill. I ran my first mile in what probably has been like 8 years and I did not do to bad. I think if I pushed myself I probably could do a 7 minute 30 second mile, my best was in high school at 7 minutes 10 seconds. I was able to get 2 miles in 17 minutes 4 seconds (8min 34sec miles). I feel all that walking has been paying off, it has been a long time since I could run 2 miles fairly easily. I barely even was sweating after 20 minutes on the treadmill. Too me this tells me I can push it further all the walking has increased my endurance quite a bit.  

I did feel I overdid it a bit I began doing squats and my legs for the past 5 days have been hurting, to the point where I could not keep up my cardio the last time I went to the gym, I got 1.5 miles in my legs did not want to go on, my lungs felt good and so did the rest of me. I wanted to fight through the pain and keep up the cardio but my thighs are telling me we are not going to cooperate with that request. Lesson learned do not do more than you are used to, gradually work up to where you want to be at. 

I guess the only thing I would beat myself up over was I ate out 4x last week. Chipotle, Pizza, Jimmie Johns, and Chicken Nuggets, I also ate a lot of icecream. I think it shows in the scale with the 1lbs weight gain. I have a feeling that if I scale back my new routine a little bit so that I am not in pain by the end of the week the scale will read a lot lower. I was on the cusp of 177 a week ago and did the same thing eating out before a weigh in which shot me up 2lbs to 179lbs. All the added salt/sugar I ate plus the types of food that take me longer to digest are likely adding weight on. My goal is kind of high this week but I think -3lbs is do-able. 177 is my goal by weigh in for next week. Pretty ambitious I know but my body is telling me I can do it. I let my body recoup for the last 3 days, I will go to the gym Tuesday night, so 1 more day of recoup and I think I will be ready to go Tuesday. I just have to remember to not push so hard as to make it impossible for me to move by Saturday nights workout. 

I will catch you all next week and look forward to seeing all your results as well. Good luck out there people.

Not good. Falling off the wagon. 3.7 lb gain. I have not been eating great and I have not done cardio in 2 weeks. Need to get myself back on track. Hopefully that starts today. Will see if I make it to the gym.

Another pound gone this week.  I am trying to level out to maintain/low rate loss but I still had a significant loss this week.  I know I could slow/stop it by eating crap again but I have been trying to just increase my caloric intake while eating the same foods I have been for the last seven months.  We had a family bbq yesterday.  I had a burger with bacon, cheese and fried onions.  I had a big salad and a pile of bean salad.  I had about 1/2 cup or less of potato salad as well as I was already having a bun.  I even had a couple of beers (I have been severely limiting my beer intake so two in a day was quite a lot).

Stepped on the scale three times to make sure it was true - lost another two lbs.  Feeling good, reading too many articles that make me feel panic about keeping the weight off but I am determined to stay healthy and soldier on.

Been following this thread for a while, just never posted.

Anyway...

Previous short term goal: 200lbs. (but I broke that yesterday).

Second week in a row with a gain. I need to pull myself in so I don't throw it all away. I went to the gym twice last week instead of my usual 4 times. I have not done cardio in 3 weeks. Eating out too much as well. I feel like the motivation is gone, I need to get it back.
