@doctor-phibes You probably have lost some fat - and gained muscle, with all the exercise. And that’s a good thing.

Not according to my stupid scales, but I try to remain optimistic that these 'smart scales' are anything but.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

You can really lower the percentage of body fat by getting on the scale with wet feet. That's why I record it after a shower, much better results.

I got a $30 Renpho scale. I have lost interest in any measure it provides other than weight, because it seems to me that all the other measures are functions of weight. For body composition info, I use a Renpho tape measure around my belly. The iPhone app for tracking these measures is pretty cool.
Education is extremely important.

Yes, that's the same scale I use. I love the tracking app, but I'm pretty skeptical about the accuracy of the non-weight measurements.

Ha! - I need to do that. That'll show those bastards.

On the plus side, I’m fitting in a suit that I had set aside 18 months ago. On the bad side, Karla went away for a weekend two weeks ago for a funeral, and Luke was tied up with prom, so it was just me.
Beer and bad food was consumed.
I’ve been good since then. Karla, Luke, and Finley left this morning for a wedding.

Tonight I'm lifting weights.
Here's the first one....

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

I did another 60 miles this weekend - it got a bit ugly, as it was 82 degrees by 9am. I drank about 2 pints of Gatorade this morning.

arbs (especially super-refined carbs) stimulate insulin which stimulates carbs going into cells, which makes you want moar carbs...etc.
Right, but I'm speaking specifically of doing this in early morning, so as to avoid the up and down swoops during the day. If you start out low, it's much easier to stay low. The temptation to go high carb is very much reduced.

I have lost 2 lbs and have consistently kept it off for the last 5 weeks. I am better at running (not faster, just better); no longer feeling like I'm going to die by the end.
I know I should watch what I eat, but it's cherry season, and they have been sooo good.

I've officially lost 25 lbs and am pretty close to my goal weight of 145ish. The last time I was serious about losing weight was nearly 30 years ago at which time I went a bit below my goal weight and sank to 139. True to past experience my weight loss comes just a few months after tossing all of my slimmer slacks and belts with a "I'll never wear those again" sentiment.
