197.0lbs

Got a couple retreat this weekend so will do best to keep the diet in check. No idea what they will be preparing for us.

Thanks, it feels GREAT! I am confident I will never see that scale start with a "2" again.

198.4lbs

I am going at this 150% until I reach 190lbs. I will update every other day until I am there.

You aren't going to believeit but you called that one. 199.9 but the official weigh-in is not until Monday. I actually had a tear in eye. It means a lot.

lol

I saw a number that started with 201 this morning...Come on 19*.**!!

Hit the gym last night for a chest/tri workout. bench weight barely dropped at all. That really surprised me. shoulders were sore for some reason but did a few warm up sets and that seemed to stretch them out. I am feeling 90% right now and saw a big drop on the scale this morning. Not sure I can go...

Well, not too bad considering. I am finally feeling much better and hit the treadmill yesterday. We are planning on hitting the gym like normal this week. I tried to keep eating under control and did ok but it definitely could have been better. It is hard when you are sick. motivation is very high r...

Thanks, fat does the same thing to me. I was getting better but have gotten worse the last few days. wife has it bad as well. I am going to take it easy and eat at maintenence until this is gone. I don't think being at a deficit is helping me any and I have no strength for working out. The wife and ...

Good luck with the job hunt. I know that can be scary and exciting. Sounds like you are doing the right thing. Sometimes we fall in love with a job that just does not have the future we are looking for and it takes some fortitude to walk away to find something else. Keep your head up and best of luc...

202.4lbs Back on track and looking forward to working out again. I have a real bad cough yet and a lot of congestion so I might wait until tomorrow but promised myself I would get 3 workouts in no matter what. I have always quit before when this would happen. I won't let that happen this time around...

Thanks Bossman, that is what I needed to hear. It has not been a good week and I did not get to the gym other then Monday. It is closed tomorrow but I will be back on Monday. I will do some cardio tomorrow at home and get eating back on track. Enough milking this and time to get back to work. I am N...

Well, I got sick. Feel like crap and have not worked out since Monday. I am going to try tonight but take it pretty easy. eating has not been good but am back on track today as I am feeling slightly better but still have chills and am plugged up. Getting sick has caused me to quit several times in t...

Sounds great Bossman but why would that be different then any other monday night?

Thanks for the kind words guys. It means a lot.

Very nice job, congrats!

Absolutely! I am losing weight for myself 100% but a big part of journal is to try to show others it is possible. Let them see that setbacks are only that and not a complete failure. That is the problem; when people fall they quit instead of getting back up and trying again. Seeing someone push thro...
