Why not get serious on this? or something. Everyone weight in and get to the starting line? I have no idea how the show works, never watched it, but I presume everyone posts their weight, and goal weight? Update every month or so and we can draw up all sorts of funky graphs and percentages and stuff? I weighed myself at the gym today. 7/28: 256lbs.

I'm out - I'm too close to goal weight to want to get in on this (I would like to be about 4-5 pounds less than I am now, but I don't think that's a contest-worthy amount).
|
| metsmarathon Jul 29 2011 02:04 PM Re: CPF Biggest Victorino Contest |

yeah, i only need to get down to 189 for my BMI to no longer trigger the overweight flag, so that's my target.
|
| TransMonk Jul 29 2011 02:24 PM Re: CPF Biggest Victorino Contest |

I'm out too. I'm down to about 155, which is the lowest I think I've been since I was in high school (granted, I'm only 5'8") and will be running hard the rest of the year.

|
| Fman99 Jul 29 2011 08:08 PM Re: CPF Biggest Victorino Contest |

I'm only about 4-5 lbs over the weight I normally set for myself as a goal so I'd have less to wager. I'd still participate, that 4-5 lbs is an eternal nag to me.

I will join too. I weighed 143 when I got home today from vacation, and I would like to get down to 129. However, that is only 14 pounds. Is there a percentage type of thing or what?

217, which is about where I've been the last few years. At my heaviest, I was around 230; I got down to 185 a few years back.

I suppose depending who's ambitious and how ambitious we can get %age loss, and % of goal, and total weight loss, and close weight loss in a month to the schafer player of the month and wutevas.

I put a ~ in front of my weight because it was an estimate. Then Wifey went and bought a new scale this weekend which delivered the cockpunch that I'm not starting at 190 but at 190 fucking 4 and a friggin half.
|
| themetfairy Sep 01 2011 08:52 AM Re: CPF Biggest Victorino Contest |

124.2 this month. .6 pounds in the wrong direction.

I haven't been to the gym in a week. I've also been dealing with a big of a stomach bug. We'll see how that balances out tomorrow.

| Fman99 Sep 01 2011 09:56 AM Re: CPF Biggest Victorino Contest |

Tipped in this morning at 153.2. Banging out 12 miles of running the last two days seems to have helped, I've been sitting around 155-156 for most of August.
|
| John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 02 2011 06:47 PM Re: CPF Biggest Victorino Contest |

Wifey Bucket's new digital scale informs me that my weight fluctuates by 5 or 6 pounds duing the week. But I'm pretty much still 190.

If i wasn't so far 'in the hole' so to speak, that'd work for me. See if I can stay vigilant enough to lose a couple of pounds though. Really having trouble with jump-starting any serious weight loss though, and I feel like i'm heavy enough that it's an "object at rest tends to stay at rest" thing. That 250lbs pounding repeatedly on my feet and against my chest when trying to take deep breaths is extremely uncomfortable and painful. I think that's part of the reason It hurts so much more when I run outside too, less cushioning than on the treadmill.

As of yesterday morning tipping in at 153.6 lbs to start 2012. Still in that 150-155 range but I'd like to be at the low end of it. Managed to get down to 150 for all of about 3 days in 2011.

Weighed in at 187 this morning, same as ever. Took up the pushups again after losing track in November. No beer for a few weeks in January seemed to have no effect so I went back on them just to be safe.
|
| Ceetar Feb 01 2012 08:56 AM Re: CPF Biggest Victorino Contest |

Always be safe. That's important. I'll update the chart with January's too this month. I should be down ~5, which would be an acceptable per month rate if I could maintain it for a year.

Still 220.........but get this, routine blood work a month ago revealed high sugar.......doctor sent me for a glucose tolerance test which i had Feb 11th , doctor calls me yesterday to tell me Quest totally screwed up the test and it's worthless......need to go again.Suffice to say I am shocked that I might have diabetes. Educated guess from doc has me at best borderline , talk about a wake up call.........I really need to be pro-active here.

As opposed to being the better part of 100 pounds overweight? Look, he saw doctors before and during the whole thing. His cholesterol levels went up "slightly" he said and, although I don't know if he got a specific breakdowns, typically via this kind of diet that the "good" cholesterol reading (HDL) tends to go up in addition to the LDL so it close to balances out. Besides, nobody eats NO carbs, it's just a matter of eating less while cutting out certain kinds entirely and then maintaining it with some reasonable number which is significantly below what helped you put on all the weight in the first place. And as for what happens when you go off, if you go off of ANY diet and go right back to the way you were eating/living when you were putting on all kinds of excess weight then, yeah, you're going to put it back on. Not sure that Atkins-type plans are any more susceptible to that than any other.

I think that you're more likely to regain if you go through deprivation to lose the weight. If you can manage portion control and don't feel deprived, you're less likely to regain the weight than you are if your dieting is drastically different from your "normal" eating.

I mean obviously if you're just overweight and 'healthy'/younger like I am, something like the Atkins isn't a big deal as a weight loss plan (and not as a 'healthy diet'/maintenance thing).. Besides, you read these reports of people that did things like the Twinkie diet and were healthier afterwards. (Or the doppelbock fast, that one's tempting..)

Commitment/focus is key. When I was losing, I played every mind game in the book to stay on track.

Yeah, problem for me is it usually one takes losing one of those mind games to neutralize the 'win' from the others. And then I come up against the "Am I really not going to go out, enjoy myself, enjoy life because of this ill-fated goal of mine?"

| m.e.t.b.o.t. May 03 2012 08:33 AM Re: CPF Biggest Victorino Contest |

i suppose the key would be to recognize how much more you would enjoy life if you were to reach your goal.

yeah, but with robots, all you gotta do is get on the treadmill and go! you'll lose weight and if you tire just replace your batteries. easy. yeah, that describes me as well. I cook too much, tend to finish my plate, and often my wife's as well. I keep saying I need to plan out dinners in advance, which would help portions/healthiness probably.

You are correct. Even a strict ketogenic diet (which is really what Atkins is) allows for 50-65 grams carbs a day.  It works but it's only for sedentary people. Also, lot of the weight loss reported is muscle loss, which is denser and "heavier" than fat. The reason you lose muscle is that your body shutdowns all muscle production in the absence of IGF-1 (in essence, this is growth hormone) which is released when you consume carbs. Ironically, such diets are favored by bodybuilders in cutting phases, because they typically get their growth hormone from "other sources", it allows them to shed without doing cardio.

Good for you man! I went from a high of 202 lbs in the fall of 2001 to 150 lbs in the fall of 2002 through diet and exercise. I've fluctuated a bit since then, at one point gaining half of it back, but I've been consistently in the 150-155 range now for the last three or four years.

That's a great job. Question: I know this is a way ways off for me, but how do you know what's your 'correct' weight? I was 150-165 when I went to college (12 freaking years ago) I wasn't really what you'd call underweight at that point, but I can't imagine 165 would be my 'target' weight either. I'm decently overweight but 85 pounds seems like a lot.. I think a BMI of 25 for my height is 174 though. How accurate/real are those devices that measure fat% versus muscle?

Don't get hung up on a particular number. None of us here are 17 y/o anymore so using, as many folks do, that number (or their wedding-day weight, or what the scale said right after they starved themselves for their Bahamas vacation) as their "correct" weight is usually unrealistic. Obviously if you've got a significant amount of weight to lose you're going to use the scale as a mark of progress. But your 'correct' or ultimate target weight should be the one where you think you look and feel good and if that's not the same one you remember from the day you got into your prom dress/tux then so be it. I'm currently within a handful of pounds of what I'd consider my ideal but at the same time am some 25-30 pounds heavier than when I left HS; I can't, shouldn't, and wouldn't want to get down to that weight. I also don't own or consult a scale because it can't really tell me something I haven't already figured out for myself based on how my pants fit. The BMI is a broad mark that's going to vary for different people. Obviously not everyone who's the same height is supposed to be the same weight.

well true, but It's not like I feel badly now. a bit uncomfortable at times, particularly when it's hot and humid. When I stand for a long time (this was always true, so hard to say that's weight related, though it can't help)

| metsmarathon Jun 03 2012 07:26 PM Re: CPF Biggest Victorino Contest |

when i left high school, i probably weighed about 150 lbs. maybe less. after 4 years of college, i weighed 175, lean and mean. at the end of my 5th year, i was 185, and it was almost all muscle. i've been within 5 lbs of 200 pretty much since i got back from my honeymoon almost 9 years ago. ideally, i'd want to be at 190, as i think to get there would require me to make the right kinds of decisions that would also yield phenomenal 5k times. but my willpower is lacking. and maintaining a not-unhealthy weight is just so easy.

It worked for Wifey Bucket (and you), and while I'm still hobbled by the achilles and not getting the exercise I should I had to do something.

tell my body that. too many of these guys.  Actually, I was somehow losing weight in June, barring a huge jump this weekend. I think I need to be better about preplanning dinner/lunch. the more lower-cal options I have planned the better usually. I also should get back to my "I can only have a beer on days I've worked out" plan.

Preplanning helps. A lot.

249. lowest point this year. Although tied with February, although I think it was a false low, this time I was 249 last Wednesday and 248 a week ago today.

I was at 184.8 this morning, that's about 7.5 pounds down from when I started with the Weight Watchers thing a month ago, but still at the low end of the range I'd been in for years (my range now appears to have dropped by about 5 pounds top and bottom).

That was fun, man. Some good beers, too. Sorry to derail your good progress (not really!). If any consolation, we pigged out after at this place -> http://www.yelp.com/biz/prince-street-pizza-new-york YUM. Glad that window of time worked out & we could meet up. I regretfully missed Ochoseis (again). I owe ya, Chad. Email/PM coming your way.

Yes. Definitely yes. I have Wendler's book and, since I'm on the same side of the world as most CPFers, I can just give it to anyone who is interested. But Spitter's link tells you all you need to know. The program is simple, which is the beauty of it. Do the Four Big Lifts that Spitter mentions above, and do something fairly intense and non-weight lifting related twice a week (Wendler recommends hill sprints; I started joining my gf in kickboxing class instead). That's it. That's all. The rest of Wendler's short book is a well-written pep talk.

The only qualification I would add is that some of Wendler’s nutritional information is bupkis – lots of “broscience” and stuff more appropriate for people using juice. But this doesn't detract from his lifting program.
No, that award is already reserved for the biggest cunt on CPF (which is not to imply there are cunts on CPF, per se).

This is the best weightloss supplement I've ever used. it's also cheap as chips and good for you in other ways.

Okay here's the deal. My husband's accupuncturist (sp?) gave him a diet last fall that WORKED. Broiled chicken and fish, rice or quinoa or other grains, green veggies, no alcohol. We did it from early November to the holidays and both lost lots of weight and felt good.
|
| themetfairy Sep 24 2012 09:29 AM Re: CPF Biggest Victorino Contest |

This is a good time of the year to start a plan. When you're in a groove going into the holiday season, it keeps the holidays from becoming holiweeks. Good luck, my friend!

Yep! We still have a few goodies left (some of the boy sticky buns, for example) but portion control til that's all gone...

Portion control is a big help. Having a taste of something with an intense flavor can be very satisfying :)

Ugh. 155.6. Too much eating and drinking, not enough running -- ran a half marathon for five straight weekends but then needed 4-5 days off from running after each one to recuperate. Too much down time.

jealous. I haven't weighted in yet (still don't own a scale) but back to the gym hopefully tomorrow. Did delicious food and beer win out over crazy amount of walking and climbing around Europe? Will my blisters be healed enough to run tomorrow, or will it be solely weight training? These are the Days of Our Lives..or something like that.
|
| metsmarathon Oct 05 2012 08:16 AM Re: CPF Biggest Victorino Contest |

i'll say 204.5 right now. i'm not running consistently enough to bring it down much, and my eating habits are somewhat poor right now.

Okay, the biggest loser for everyone that weighted in on 8/1/11 and 8/1/12 was JCL with just shy of 10lbs down. Let's actually assign prizes to make it a 'real' competition. For the rest of the year (so the 1/1 weigh in)

I think my orginal goal was 129. that seems laughable by now. I would love to get down to 140 and wear the pants I bought just a year ago. I will go with that for now. I am hoping to add an hour of dance to my days and I am writing down my food. Someone told me that was a thing to do.

Sometimes I buy junk food from those vending machines where a corkscrew-type apparatus turns and pushes the food forward. As the apparatus pushes the food to the brink, and the tipping point is reached, and the food slowly tilts forward and begins plummeting downward face-first, I feel like I'm witnessing a suicide.

| John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 14 2013 10:33 AM Re: CPF Biggest Victorino Contest |

I started back on counting points again last week after failing to make any progress on my own and also, um, gaining some weight during July. It's not like a big deal, about 5 pounds and I know why (rhymes with "Here and Fine"), but hoping this time to wrestle it into the 160s.
|
| Fman99 Aug 14 2013 10:57 AM Re: CPF Biggest Victorino Contest |

I keep a number of healthier snacks at my desk and rotate out new ones every week or two. Usually some combination of sweet (graham crackers, raisins, granola) and salty (peanuts, pretzel bits, etc.) I also bring a bag lunch most work days (I go out to lunch with coworkers maybe once or twice a month, at most) and bring snacks every day as well.
|
| Ceetar Aug 14 2013 12:29 PM Re: CPF Biggest Victorino Contest |
|
no vending at this office, but this is never what gets me. People talk about how "cutting out soda" and "not snacking during the day" is roughly all it took. Never made a dent for me. One of the things I did years ago was to tell myself not to stuff my face just to stuff my face and if I'm going to snack make it high quality stuff at least. That keeps me away from random chocolate bar most days.
|
| John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 14 2013 01:43 PM Re: CPF Biggest Victorino Contest |

Ceets, if you're really interested in losing the weight give Weight Watchers a try. It's like $50 for 3 months to use their tracker and phone app, it will take you a week or so to get anywhere near the daily budgeted points but within a month you will get the hang of it and be losing, especially if you can reduce the beer. That is the hard part for me.
|
| Ceetar Aug 14 2013 02:22 PM Re: CPF Biggest Victorino Contest |
|
|
nah. Not worth the money. I know what's good and bad and my problems are more related to following through with them. And i've discovered that the more I think about food (And counting points and looking up stuff and tracking it) the worse I do. I know what I really need to do is map out meals days in advance. No thought, no cravings. "I'm having chicken cutlets for dinner and there's nothing to think about." Rarely seems to work that way. Maybe i'll be better after I move. I'm not so bad with snacking, and keeping the crappy options away from my desk helps. So does staying hydrated and/or more coffee. I don't struggle so much at work/lunch anymore, I pick and choose the couple of healthy options and just do them regularly. Sucks that there is no microwave or heating device at this office though, so it's limiting my bring it in options. Finding Pret A Manger and even Chop'd have lowish calorie options though.

I don't wanna come of as a WW whore and won't suggest it can't be done any other way, but I will say a huge part of the success of the program is that it facilitates that "follow through" you say you need.

|
| Ceetar Aug 14 2013 06:40 PM Re: CPF Biggest Victorino Contest |
|
|
well, there's nothing wrong with a whore either. My problem is I don't want to put in the effort of tracking my diets. I don't want to record every scrap and spend time trying to figure out exactly how to enter a bagel with cream cheese and was this pizza slice a little bigger than that one? Perhaps this leads to having to schedule out my meals, which is what helps me anyway. I know my problem is more mental and I know I'm not going to alter my eating habits permanently. I've gained most of my weight in jumps, and I know that should I manage to get myself down to ~190 or something, I'm going to feel free to eat crap again, with the caveat of remaining vigilant so that a note a jump and address it. I think I need a sport though. It won't be _everything_ but if I had someone to play racquetball with, or a basketball game, or something competitive and fun (running is not) it'd be great for me both physically and mentally. I should look into that. I need more friends.

The thing with exercise is finding something you have a passion for. If you look forward to it all day it becomes a priority. If it's a "chore" or a "task" or something on your list of things you "have to do," it will be the first thing you bail on.

Ceetar - obviously you're an adult and will make your own choices in life. But I can tell you from experience that your strategy will become more and more difficult as you go forward, because as we age it becomes harder and harder to get rid of excess weight. IMO, this is why Weight Watchers is superior to fad diets. Nothing is off limits, and you can have whatever kind of splurge you want, but it does teach you to eat in a healthier overall way. But you have to be there mentally. As someone who has maintained my loss with Weight Watchers for 53 months, I know just how much of a mind game this is and how much work it involves. OTOH, I feel way better in my 50's than I ever did in my early 40's, and I wouldn't trade that for all the junk food in the world.
|
| Ceetar Aug 15 2013 07:16 AM Re: CPF Biggest Victorino Contest |
|
Yeah. I'm sure Weight Watchers is one option. I know the paths to success, but I'm not quite able to make myself get down them too far. And then I get depressed when I get a couple weeks in with little success and that frustrates me, or I have an off couple of days for good reasons and it negates and minimal progress I've made. (I'm in that point now. Just the commute into the city seems to have helped, and I am/was down 10-15 pounds since April, but the last week or two, despite getting excited about maybe dipping below 240, it ballooned up again.)
|
| themetfairy Aug 15 2013 07:23 AM Re: CPF Biggest Victorino Contest |
|
Yes, it's hard getting into the right frame of mind during a busy time. But even now, you can make mindful choices. Chinese restaurants have steamed items, and items without heavy sauces. Brown rice is filling, without the oil and extra calories of fried rice. You have options that will allow you to eat quickly and still eat well, but it requires planning and thought.

| Ceetar Aug 15 2013 08:08 AM Re: CPF Biggest Victorino Contest |

It's not significant if the last 5 or so was water weight or temporary or whatever. we'll see. (And it certainly wasn't through good work, since I converted gym time into commuting time. and have been to the gym like twice since I started) I know it's all mental, and I struggle with it. I suspect the problems are deeper than simply food anyway, I don't necessarily "stress eat" but for instance lunch is the only time during my work day I'm not miserable, so of course I tend to gravitate towards things that make me happier, but I've got a handle on some of it. Like the enjoyment of a sweet sugary soda after lunch. More coffee or just water and ignore that minor habit. (And try to remind myself that a can of soda is almost the same as a beer at night. That certainly helps.) It always seems like something sneaks in though. Popcorn for the commute home lately. I find I'm not good at half-measures either. Going out to a bar with friends for instance, maybe the half measure is "just have one", but I struggle with that. I'd have an easier time having none, but I usually choose to give in and just have what I want. Again, probably deeper than just food. Life's too short to not enjoy myself when I'm out with friends and live life to it's fullest. I know that's one major hurdle, but I haven't really figured out how to get over it happily yet. The thing is, I don't want to make good choices. I get enjoyment out of Chicken Nuggets, and definitely when I'm out traveling i'm going to indulge in things that I enjoy. Agreed on the Chinese thing though, I should be better when I'm lazy with at least picking healthier options, as long as I can find one I like. (And, of course, portion control, which is probably the bigger issue for me)

This is the biggest issue, IMO. Once you find something that you want more than you want the comfort foods, it will be easier. A lot of times losing is easier if you have a buddy. I remember doing WW the first time with a bunch of school friends, and that made a huge difference. Would Mrs. Ceetar be interested in doing this with you? A lot of couples find that handling the food/exercise issues together is helpful. One of my neighbors recently lost 50 pounds while her husband lost 30. And it's a lot easier sticking to a plan if your spouse isn't consuming the stuff in front of you that you're really craving.

she's as bad as sticking to it as I am. (You women with your hormones. geeze! ;-) ) Instead of feeding off each other to keep on track, we tend to encourage each other's cheating. "Oh yeah, I didn't feel like cooking either!" "I really have a craving for Pizza." "MMm! Pizza!" (which really wouldn't be bad if I Just had two slices instead of 4..but I digress) I want to say it'll be better once we move into the house, but I think that's just wishful thinking.

I don't generally feel awful afterwards, so that won't work. And the flip side is, I feel pretty crappy after I have smoothies/fruit a lot. So now even though I contemplate a smoothie for dinner every once in a while, all I can think about is how miserable my stomach will be all night if I do. I'm not really sure what's with that. I think it might be an acid thing.

You don't want a smoothie for dinner. You need something more substantial.

nah, why do I need something substantial? I usually mix in a yogurt too, so a 20oz smoothie seems to be pretty good in that regard. It's a fair bit of fruit with some good juice and some yogurt. that's fairly substantial anyway. If I've been making it to the gym I'll mix in some protein powder too sometimes, though that gets too chalky for my wife so I have to make sure to pour hers first.

It's a meal. Your dinner should involve chewing. I lost 25% of my body weight ten years ago and have kept it off (though I stopped exercising for a year and gained half of the weight back, and then rejoined the gym and shook off that 25 lbs. a second time). I feel like I can speak from experience. I'm not saying what worked for me will work for you. I think there are underlying reasons why you eat what you eat, and how you justify it to yourself. Your mileage may vary. When I was at my heaviest, my wife and I ate fast food 2-3 times per week and I did not cook much. Much of what I did cook was not particularly healthy. Lots of pasta and carbs (I am a carb junkie). I smoked a pack of cigarettes a day, I drank many sodas per day and I never ever exercised. The lunches I packed to bring to work or buy while at work were not healthy (salami and provolone, BK drive through, etc.). I had no healthy routine. Then, one day, in October of 2001, I had an epiphany. I was outside smoking on the first really cold windy day of the season and I decided I had had enough. I didn't want to face another year of standing outside freezing my ass off just to smoke. I called my physician and made an appointment to get Wellbutrin, an antidepressant that a couple of my friends had used to kick the habit. When I went to see my doctor, I tipped in at 202 lbs (I am 5'10"). I had graduated high school at 135 lbs. and college at 150, and somehow in the six subsequent years I had packed on another 50+. First things first, I had to quit smoking, which I did. And lo and behold, after a few weeks of coughing up gunk in the shower, I felt like I had my breath again. I joined a gym and went for 60 minutes a day, five days a week. Thirty minutes of easy weightlifting using the Nautilus-style machines (no freeweights) and 30 minutes of cardio. And in 11 months, I lost 50 lbs. Slowly andd steadily, 1-2 lbs per week. My consistent target weight was and is 150 lbs,. which was the weight I hit in September of 2002. I weigh 155 lbs. today. Now, how did I lose the weight? Well, first, all of that time at the gym helped. I had to also revise the way I ate. We had gotten an indoor grill as a wedding present (that previous May) and I started using it to cook more during the week. We tried to limit ourselves to one night out per week for dinner. I bought leaner meats but only for some meals -- I switched to 90% lean beef burgers, but kept the Italian sausages with pork (the turkey ones didn't cut it). Grilled and marinated chicken breasts. Kept a number of different frozen veggies ready to go for sides -- ones the wife and I both enjoy. Broccoli/cauliflower, peas, corn, etc. I didn't change my breakfast routine -- a bowl of cold cereal and coffee. My lunch routine cleaned up -- turkey and lean ham sandwiches. Sides of baked chips. Teddy grahams (lower in fat) as a dessert. More fruit. Gradually I weaned myself off of the processed stuff (granola and fruit bars) towards actual foods (fresh fruit, yogurt, etc.) Ditched all of the regular sodas for diet versions. Same thing with mayo. Artificial sweetner in coffee instead of sugar. Some people insist that they CANNOT give up their regular mayo or ice cream or soda for diet versions. Those people, most often, are also too heavy. I snack all day. I don't ever go more than 60-90 mintues without eating something. I drink lots of water and diet sodas and fill up on beverages without calories. When I wanted fast food (then and now) I went to Subway and got a lean 6" sub and bag of baked chips. It worked for me. Now, I will admit I had it easy in one regards. My wife is not only affected by Celiac but she is also a particular eater. And I do all of the cooking in our house when it comes to dinners. So she was willing to go along with this as most of my changes did not affect her anyway. She has her ice cream in the evenings and I am not tempted by it. Nowadays, I run instead of going to the gym. I have balanace. When we get Chinese take out I tend to go with the steamed dumplings, which are tasty enough for me to not mind the lack of fried crispiness. Most fast food these days makes me ill -- I cannot look at it or stomach it. I do still get a Subway sub from time to time. I take the kids to Wegmans for dinner and they fill up on pizza and baked mac and cheese at the buffet and I get a wrap or sushi. And I treat myself and I eat what I want. I just happen to want healthier, less fatty/oily snacks most of the time.

i think part of the problem could be that, intuitively you know that you don't have a real, satisfying dinner waiting for you at the end of the day, and so you pack away the extra calories everywhere you can find them.

I get the idea that you might tend towards mistreating other meals if you are doing something like smoothies for a meal, but as long as you're planning your meals anyway, that shouldn't really be a problem. (much like the "don't skip breakfast" thing.)

Tipped in at 155.6 this morning, four day layoff from running this past week due to a blister on my toe (plus a trip to the NY State Fair) is to blame for that extra two pounds. It's not for long.

124.8. Not the right direction. But considering how bad the scale had been for the past week and a half, I'll take it.

I had a checkup today and mentioned to my doctor that I just can't stop gaining weight. I wondered aloud if it might be my antidepressant doing it.

Tipped in once again at 155.0 lbs this morning. Consistently in the 153-155 range.

242.5 with all my clothes/wallet/keys on.

an unmotivated 204 lbs. certainly not helped by a week in cali. also not helped by a lack of motivation. plus, i'm sympathy-eating for three, and it's pumpkin beer season.

151.2 Yes you read that right. I figured if I share my shame with you folks I would work harder to get down to that magic weight of 150.

198.8, though it's totally cheating. i just ran a half marathon, and despire rehydrating, eating a banana, a hot dog, and two cups of soup, and drinking a cup of coffee, i'm still probably about 5 lbs lighter than when i started.

Down another 29 or 30 since then, and eight (!) belt sizes since the high-water mark. We're talking visible obliques, people.

I've had the same experience... I counted calories in a little notebook for 3-4 months, until I felt like I had a routine developed, then I stopped doing it because I didn't feel it was necessary any more. The fast food I thrived on for much of my 20's I can no longer stomach. Certain pizza places, too, it seems to be dependent on how much grease is in these foods. My coworkers are on a 'breakfast pizza' kick recently and while those taste good, I felt nasty the one time I ate a slice of it.

It kind of makes you into a fast-food/drinking snob. Like, if I'm putting this shit into my body, it better be great-tasting shit.
