    So much the antithesis of my life. 😁 Good news.

      Thanks for the update!

      @lufins-dad how are you doing on your health journey?

      I'm down to 214, from a peak of 232 last July. All I'm doing is trying to eat better each day and avoid snacking at night. When I do that, the scale rewards me in the morning. I hope to be down to 200 in 3 months. Should be "easy" if I can just fight off the drink/snack munchies at night.

        Down to 208 from 245. I am essentially at the weight that I want to be at, but I need to drop another 10 or so, then build it back up the right way…

        Combo ran/walked a 5K last week while Finley had his running club. Hoping to run a 5K next month.

                  Well you wanted to get back to 175 by May and you did it, nice job!

                  In bizarro world, I'm also trying to get to 175 in the next 2 years. I don't want to do it too quickly. I peaked at 232* last July, and was just at 212, so I'm on the way. Would like to be under 200 by August, then 185 by next May.

                  *232 is also the heaviest I ever got after college, in 2005... if you may recall I signed up for a marathon and ate better and over 2 years went down to 175, so this is basically a complete repeat.

                    I don’t yet count that 173 given the time of day. I’ll wait until i weigh that in the morning.

                    This morning I was 167.1. So I can still get there by the end of the month.

                      That’s a nice trend line. Looks sustainable.

                        You’re fighting the good fight, in retrospect I can see why you started the thread when you went into the 140s, keep up the good work dude!

                          I actually started the thread when it became clear that I was recovering. About a month after my nadir.
