Stupid company trip and big fancy dinners, made it down to 18.7 to 223 in four days, so frustrated with myself… back to the grind… it feels like it takes two weeks of perfect days to outweigh 2 days of bad eating… I’m a little terrified that when I get to end of my goal weight letting up a little will take me back to where I started

It’s like there is a part of me that would always overeat the worst foods if given a chance. I look at the success rates of long term weight loss and it’s not great and I just hope that after all this I can be the exception. I’m back on track now and will keep pushing. Little victories big set backs and finding the will to press on and on…

Yes, I’m right there with you. I feel so good right now with the weight going down, but even watching my husband eat whatever he wants makes it hard to always deny myself. I try to look at it as far as trying to live a healthy life so I can be around to watch my grandkids get married and have babies. I’ll try to make that my priority over food and I try to look at it as when I do eat something crappy., What do I feel like afterwards? I feel mad at myself like was it really worth that little one or two minutes of pleasure to gain 5 pounds.

An hour and ten minutes of hard biking today (and then 20 minutes of soft biking when the knee said maybe good enough). Average heart rate of 150 for an and half! 18 miles. Feels really great to have a little energy and not be on the couch all the time! 32ish pounds down about double that left to go!!

Father’s Day was tough, finally started seeing the scale move after hitting a plateau… then came home from work then had too much spaghetti, then a giant cookie, then candy… 1 pound heavier the next day…

Time to refocus and get back on track!

It’s good to have a break here and there. I enjoyed two premium burgers and some fresh made brownies for Fathers Day. All good. I’ve been doing well since

Well, it only comes around ONCE a year.

Trying for a 40 mile bike ride this week did 27 miles last week and I’ve had energy I have not had in years after… one step closer to healthy and energetic!

Awesome. Healthy and energetic is what we are all going for...and that's what really matters.

Just about to move one size down in my pants!
I can already wear the 40s, and have done so,
but it's not so comfortable to sit in them for hours.
I hate that I've been "stuck" in these 42s for way too long.
(I actually kept a pair of 44s "from the past", SO I guess that's good, that I didn't need to go all the way back to those).
Anyway, by next week, the 42s will be a thing of the past,
and I will be solidly in the 40s!

I already bought the 38s, 36s, and 34s...for when I'm ready to move into those! It WILL happen, slowly but SURELY.

Get better a little every day, you can do it… I’ve got these beautiful Hugo boss suits I need to lose 70 pounds to wear and I put them in the closet to remind me of where I’m going to get to… great choices everyday= long term results! You got this!

Steve

@Michael Thanks for the encouragement! You "get it".
