Hi Folks!

Sorry about the delayed posting...

For the newcomers: We're doing a weekly weigh-in on the day of your choosing (some do Sunday; I'm more of a Monday morning person, myself) to see how well we're fighting the good fight. Years ago, folks would also post miles ridden and other details - provide as much or as little info as you like!

good week form me. went from 209.25 to 206.5 - down 2.75 lbs
biggest change for me was trying to eliminate after work snacking - still need to work on this but I improved.

Methinks I got into a few unrecognized carbs over the weekend.....

1st week - 237
2nd week - 237 on Monday, though I saw 236 on Wednesday (I step on the scale at work every hour to hang a material bag so I see my weight every hour, not just daily or once a week.)

Now it gets tough. Sunday I stepped on the scale at home, 230 in just the skivvies. Monday we had our annual voluntary wellness program check. I was weighed without my steel toe boots, empty pockets but clothed in my normal blue jeans and t-shirt at 0615 before eating any breakfast. I read 227.5. She wrote down 224. After my check on the other side of the plant, I walked back to my work area and immediately stepped on my scale as I do every hour. 237

Well, since I did state I will be using my weigh in as fully work dressed, 237 this week again. Haven't lost a bit

The clothes thing is hard. Because instead of focusing on dimension (mainly waistline) we're going off of weight (of course, that's sort of how this thread is designed, too). I hate going to the Dr and they're all "Jump on the scale" and I'm thinking: "No, first, I need to go to the bathroom, then strip down to my underwear, and there are too many people around to do that...."

I was up 3 lbs this past Monday to 212. I conveniently forgot to update this week. By posting this, I feel like I'm being accountable. We'll see about next Monday.

I'm a Friday morning person for weigh in's. Last Friday was 305, before that 300.5 and before that 305. I've been just over 300 for a year now and I really want to see that leading 2 again. Today was my first commute of the year and my 3rd ride of the year. Just have to keep going.

Eh...it happens. Remember: There's no shame here in C&A!

Thats the way your do it! Just keep plugging at it. Somewhere I read that we should not focus too much on the end goal, but rather on following the process, that's how we get to where we want.

only down 3lbs in past 6 weeks. Granted I fell off the wagon during the holidays but have been riding my ass off past 3 weeks and have been cleaning up my eating. Time to revaluate my approach. Discouraged.

Down 4 pounds to 207.5 since the start of the year. 16~% BF. Still looking to drop into the 170s for beginning of July timeframe for a race I want to win. I guess I need to bring down the calories a touch as I lose weight to keep steady progress.

I bike an average of 200+ miles a week, so you know I'm smashing the calories in to have only lost 4 pounds.

My diet is basically 1000-1500 calories a day of fruits and another 1500 of vegetables, rice, potatoes etc. sometimes more or less of one or the other. I'll eat meat maybe one a week, but I usually don't finish a portion and I have never liked eggs or dairy stuff.

thinking about starting an annoying YouTube blog about my workups to my next few races with an emphasis on the Clyde world

If it's not too late to join the thread, here's my stats for 2016:

1/6- 296#
1/15-282
1/22-277

After years of mixed success with Weight Watchers and using MFP/self-tracking, etc. (which brought me down from a high of about 328!), I'm trying a program called Ideal Protein (which my wife used to lose 65+ pounds a few years ago). So far, I seem to be off to a good start, but, hopefully, I'll stick with it, rather than quitting after a few months (which is what usually happened with WW, MFP, etc.).
