Stayed same weight this week.  Still down 14.8 from the start though.

Nothing wrong with that, Rondar. WTG on staying there! Your initial goal was 10-20, so you've succeeded.

Still going here.

Been just over a month.  No idea about weight, although I did go see the doc for my annual at the VA middle of June.  A1C was up .5, but I knew that was coming.  I've been surprisingly good at keeping the every other day workout routine on course... 30min each now and I've pumped up the resistance on the elliptical quite a bit.  Only thing I've noticed for sure, put two shirts I haven't had on for a long time on and they had this weird loose feel to'em.  I'm dyin to weigh but ain't gonna do it till Sept if I can hold off.  I know where I was last month from the Doc visit.

I may actually start a diet.  I'm somewhat careful anyway, except when I'm not (lol).  Years ago I did the BMR thing and literally counted every calorie... I had fat melting off for about 4mo then it stopped.  INCREASED calories and it started again.. but then I retired.  doh!  Do that and you can eat whatever the hell you want, just keep it inside your count.  BTW, yes, you can tackle a Whopper... but almost nothing else all day.  LOL

It's been a while since I have checked in, bit have been working almost nonstop with wheat harvest and then working summer fallow.  Have done nothing for 3+ weeks but sitting in a combine and tractor.

Anyway, have lost a total of 18 lbs.  Pants are loose, shirts the same, and had to get a new shorter belt.

WTG Rondar!  Nothing wrong with 18lbs!  Especially being cooped up like that.

Still losing.. down 37 since 4/21..   46 since 1/1.

[Rondar]

That is just a really nice job you have done there AP.  I plan to go some more myself but I know it will come off slower as I will spend most of the summer and fall in various farm equipment.  Not sure I will do a weekly update but not going to forget it either.

[APDrone]

Thanks, Rondar.

Told you I needed to lose 50. 

This thread really helped, tho..  For whatever reason, it did motivate me to finally focus on the weight loss, and the earlier discussion about options really helped.  It's been an eye-opening experience.

This low-carb stuff is really working. I'm at a 15 year low for weight.  Still going to shoot for another 25 or so.. want to get under 200.  Blood pressure has gone from 156/96  to 116/80.

Starting to mull over what sort of life changes I've committed myself to. Will probably play around with a few things, but I suspect that sugar is pretty much gone, for good, unless I plan on a week recovery period after eating a cupcake..     Good thing I like raw broccoli, carrots, meat, and block cheese.

I have 4 more to lose before drinking ( new years resolution ) .. and I'm a little apprehensive as to what bourbon will do. 

But, thanks for putting the challenge out there!  It's made for a good summer.

That's excellent!! 


You may also find that man things are easier and you won't get tired as quickly.  Nice job sticking to it!
