WTF, dudes? 

Put down the ax in your hands.  That has got to be it!

Put down the ax in your hands.  That has got to be it!

Are you saying I have a fat ax? 

[Karl Henning]

He's saying, don't ax the man in the street!

Holy 222, Batman! Totally wrong direction!

[Beorn]

My new plan is to stop eating altogether.

Holy 222, Batman! Totally wrong direction!

Must be in the air: this morning: 233.4

After a scare last week (Partly why I didn't report it.), I can happily say that I am down to 231.8 lbs.

First main target reached this morning - back into double figures at 99.2 Kg from 111kg at Christmas (down 26 pounds from 244.7 to 218.7). Not seen double figures like that on the scale since 14-15 years ago.

The combination of fast walks, crunches/planks exercises and kettlebell circuit is paying off nicely. Really chuffed

Monday check in: 230.6 lbs!

[PaulR]

Monday check in: 228.8 lbs!  Getting close to my goal!

[Karl Henning]

Paul, you're doing great!  I'm still hovering at 235.

Excellent job, everyone!  Keep up the good work.

Just realized I haven't put a post here since May 2012!  The weight then was 216.

To summarize the last year, I went down to 206 last October, but got a bit lazy after that.  Not to mention the obligatory Thanksgiving/winter holiday food frenzy and subsequent weight gain.

I next stepped on the scale this past April 8 and was greeted by a reading of 225!  So it was back to tracking food on MyFitnessPal and reacquainting myself with the elliptical and lunchtime walks.  Having kept it up for most of the last three months, I finally broke under 200 (for the first time in ten years) last Friday, with an official weigh-in of 198!

I've moved my goal weight from 180 to 175; diet-wise I'm trying to eat more protein and fewer carbs, and eliminate almost all processed food.  I've quit the diet soda habit as well.  I'd like to start strength training eventually, but for now I'm still in weight loss mode.

[Karl Henning]

Outstanding!

[PaulR]

Paul, you're doing great!  I'm still hovering at 235.

Thanks Karl!

Last check-up I had with the doctor (May) and I lost 20 lbs., but I hadn't visited the doctor in two years, so I was quite surprised, and happy, by this discovery and the only thing I can attribute to the weight loss is by simply controlling the amount of food I eat.

After vacation back to 226.

[Karl Henning]

I'm avoiding the scale.

I'm avoiding the scale.

Yup, spen some time in the Hollywood area this summer, ate all that was offered (did not want to be rude) and only needed a glass of Paul Masson in one hand and a nice cigar in the other and people would have been wondering if Orson Welles was alive.

However, after a few days of exercise and eating right, back to 218.

[PaulR]

Down to 225.2lbs from 267 back in January.  When I graduated from Fredonia in 2010, I was 286lbs.  A lot different!

[Karl Henning]

Paul, you're doing great!

I went for a walk yesterday, but I am still avoiding the scale . . . .
