Re: The Diet Thread

Yeah, one thing I felt kinda lucky on is that every time I hit a goal, I was close enough to another one that it started to snowball. Losing 25 put me another 20 from 200, and then I had a trip to...

Yeah, any time someone suggests something better I could be eating, I always wanna say "yeah, but I totally won't eat that. This is what I'm eating instead of total garbage." :laugh: Anyway, it's not...

Re: The Diet Thread

I very well might get bored, though I can pretty easily switch back to chicken (I plan to go back and forth eventually). I have a weird ability to eat the same thing over and over each day, though,...

Re: The Diet Thread

Just a few more days!

One thing I've had ridiculous success with lately is, instead of having chicken and carrots for dinner (there's some honey sauce involved, but just to keep it interesting),...

Quick bump.

I'm a few weeks away from the three year anniversary of starting this diet. I gained a little back this past summer, though that was largely planned given how many things I did last...

Oh man, you'll probably shame me. But I'll try to remember to write some of that stuff down at the start of next week or something, sure thing. :up:

It's not terribly formal now, in that I kind of...

Re: The Diet Thread

I'm lifting, I promise! :)

I actually started 15 months ago, but it wasn't strenuous. Just something to get a little bit stronger, and to get in the habit. Over the last 4-5 weeks I've ramped it...

Re: The Diet Thread

Just a quick update: got back under 180 again recently, and binged a little over the holidays (I'd planned to). I'm back on the wagon post-holiday though and should be back around 181-182 in a couple...

Yeah, I'd love to be an inch or two taller, but we're both a little above average male height in the U.S., I think, so hard to complain.

Re: The Diet Thread

I'm right between 5'10"-5'11". I dunno about target weight, because obviously if I'm gaining muscle that's going to complicate weight loss. I think I'd be okay around this weight with a better...

Re: The Diet Thread

Finally broke into the 170s. I got super close back in February but eased up off the gas, but this morning it finally happened. Woohoo.

Would love to hear where everyone else is at, too. I know a few of you were having some success, or just starting. Which can be the hardest part, so it's arguably the part where you want to be out...

:laugh: Yup. I weighed myself on a second (physical) scale most of the time, too, just to make sure things made sense (there was always a discrepancy between the two, but usually just about a pound)....
