Four mile walk completed today. Hope to repeat tomorrow.

OK, I'm about to mount the stationary bike for a good, hard lunchtime session.

You guys all have me feeling pissed. Especially @89th since you are what? 6'4"? At least Jon and Phibes I can explain away as being tiny little men.
Oh well...
242 (looking to get under 220), 40" waist (looking to get back to 36")
Believe it or not, I was there before Finley... Sympathy weight is a real thing. Picture coming soon.Breakfast was 2 mugs of coffee, 14 oz. of water, and a few vitamins...

My god! We weigh the same. I can still fit in 38" jeans but 40s are definitely more comfortable. lol.
I would like to lose 40+ lbs this time and get below 200 for the first time in decades.
Those two loaves of bread though.... lol

I'd love to get below 200, too, but I want to string together successes. When I lose the first 5, I want to think "1/4 of the way there!" instead of "1/8th of the way there..." big psychological difference there.

This is mine.
Note it starts when I got my Fitbit which was right when I got home from NC. So you see me recovering to my healthy 185ish weight.
Then summer 2018 I had some issues that caused dramatic weight loss. Those who saw me at at Kluurs’ saw me at a low point.
A year ago I was just right but you can see the fall over the year.

I lost around 55lbs within 12 months in 2018/2019. Then it took another 18 months to loose another 10 pounds - that was way harder than the initial 55 lbs. In hindsight, it was ridiculously easy to loose the first 30 pounds or so.
I'd love to loose another 10lbs for cycling-related reasons (such as: moving up to a cat A rider in Zwift
), although I expect this to be exceedingly difficult. Actually, keeping my current weight is already pretty challenging and requires, among other things, 5-10h of hard bike riding a week. Maybe we can have a "keep current weight" challenge, too?

@doctor-phibes We call that a 'nooner'.

Aqua's sister called it a break for lunch.
Anyway, my legs are like jelly. Time for a sandwich.

121.4 lbs. 37-31-37. Goal is to lose 10 lbs or 3 inches.
I failed already. I had coffee and doughnuts for breakfast. They had a fundraiser this morning for my kids old high school; and the only thing they had were Krispy Kreme.
Does anyone know how much cardio I'm going to have to do to make up for this failure?

My healthy eating during this challenge is going to consist of 2 fruits and 3 vegetables a day.

280 hours.
And that's the truth.
However, you are to be congratulated on your noble sacrifice in the name of community service.

Now it's time for the dog walk. 2 miles, or thereabouts.
This doesn't really count as exercise, since I do it every single bloody day anyway.

1700 calories, 142 carbs, and about 90oz of water.

Ok today I avoided a few extra things I normally would've eaten just because. Lots of cookies at work and at home, but only had 2 instead of the likely 4-5 I would've consumed.

So I almost forgot about this...those in TNCR 13 years ago might remember it.
In 2006 I was 232 pounds. I decided I wanted to get back in shape so I tracked my weight daily for the next 2.5 years. A combo of eating better and working out... and then a few marathons...eventually got down to 170.
Of specific note, it's NOT easy (obviously!) but if you run a few miles each day and eat somewhat reasonably (like for dinner, have a 6" club sandwich on wheat bread, baked chips, and a diet coke), the weight will melt off week after week.

It's 11:26 and I'm eating pizza and drinking beer, watching a YouTube video about how, canonically, the T-1000 was so badass that even Skynet was afraid of it, hence there never being any subsequent models.
So I wouldn't say that I'm hitting the ground running per se.
...Unlike the T-1000, which can run up to 40mph.
