At 193, down from 219 pre-covid. First time under 200 in almost three years. Lack of restaurant dining has been a boon.
Climbing the grades and here is a heck of a lot easier with 26 pounds gone. Another eight should about do it.

I'm working from home now. While there is a kitchen at home, there is no vending machine for my daily Cheetos, a cafeteria for my second breakfast or mid afternoon cookie(s), or peers snacking on front of me. WFH will likely last through the year, but eventually I will need to face the cafeteria.
I've also cut 🍻 except a growler fill on Sunday if and only if I'm at my target weight. This seems sustainable.
Restaurants being closed and/or off limits is temporary, and their re-opening is perhaps the biggest long term threat for keeping the weight off.
On the plus side, I'm seeing PRs on climbs, sleeping better, my BP is normal, and a whole bunch of cycling jerseys fit again.

185 is my target also. I’m at 212 right now, and headed in the right direction. I don’t have a hard time getting to 190 - it’s those last 5 that are tough.

I'm slightly under the limit now too, but I hang around because I am too short for my weight.
Congratulations.
Congratulations.
