DB, cool stuff. I know you got raked over the coals on a thread a while back, nice to see you jump in.

Tgizzard, I think our goals are very similar. I stopped working out, but don’t drink. That and also having a healthy wife have been a huge help. I’m not sure how much people realize that positive (even unspoken) pressure can be.

CAM, a guy from work lost 40lbs by cleaning up eating and walking 20 minutes every day. It works.

Thanks, bro.

Goodtimes isn't my first rodeo with Internet jackassery, and I trust accredited pros who *I'm paying* and thus have subject to Doctor-Patient obligations over some random douche who thinks he's the second coming of Gunny Hartmann. Game plan with this thread is I figure I'll post the final weekly Delta-M (current week's Saturday bedtime high minus previous week's) every Sunday AM, and whatever commentary I might have on worked/didn't work/mitigating factors.

Funny thing is I've scored this drop with a lot of doubling-down on red meat, but I'm doing leaner steaks (even WITH them slathered in butter

) rather than greasy fatty hamburgers.

JediGuy, thanks for posting this.

I've been losing and gaining back the same 10#s for the last few months.

I just turned 41, and at my last checkup my Dr my results say I'm knocking on the door of being pre-diabetic. I have nothing against Diabetics, but I personally don't want to be one.

Quick info on me:
As I said, I'm 41.
5'6"
As of 10 min ago, 189#.

In my mid 20s I was around 165 or so. Had gotten up to 185 when I got married at 30. Went back down to 170 in 2012 when my daughter was born. From there up to earlier this year I worked my way up to 197. That was when I decided I need to start getting myself in check. Back in June the wife and I did a diet of shakes and small meals. I had gone from 197 to 183 in about a month. Since them I have gone back up and down in the 180s over and over.

I'd like to use this threat as accountability to keep the trend going down this time.

If I could get back to 170 or 165 I'd be pretty pumped.

If there is no specific day to update I'll either post when the majority of you do, but would like to be on a weekly basis.

Other than the pre-D (I'm luckily well short), Vandal, you sound about like where I eventually aim to get to.

I'm sure you'll get there. Sounds like you have a good plan laid out.

I'm working on doing a lifestyle overhaul more or less. I've cut back on a lot of my sugars, and I'm trying to switch from having 1 to 2 large meals a day to more smaller sized ones.

Even if it's just a small amount I want to work in more exercise. We have 3 younger kids, I work during the day with some extra hours and myself works retail and is go e most days and nights I'm home. Free/personal time is pretty minimal at this time.

I’m embarrassed to say how much I need to lose. Plus a lot of my pieces are parts are broken, like my back.

You don't need to exercise to lose weight, just don't eat much... Make it so you have to get slim, tell everyone you are going to do it and call people thinner than you fat, that way you will have to get slim or look full of it,

Eat just 600 calories a day and you will shed pounds fast... guaranteed.
