01/16/2015 - 214.6 3lbs.....I'll take it!
01/23/2015 - 212.6 WooHoo!
02/06/2015 - 213.2 I blame the superbowl food. #-o
02/20/2015 - 211.0 forgot to weigh in last week again....but making progress.
02/27/2015 - 209.6 weighed in on Friday, but was on the road all day.

You guys are kicking butt. Keep it up! I've given up on my scales. I will get a new set someday, but this isn't stopping me from continuing on my journey. Just this morning I had to go to the next hole smaller on my belt. Regardless of what the scales says, that's inches lost.

 

[fender66]

Oh....I don't much like my scale either. Just don't trust it. When I weigh myself...I usually weigh do so multiple times until I get a consistant result 3 times in a row. Still....we can't trust our scales.

BTW...again, I didn't weigh in on Friday. Been doing a lot of traveling for work and it's not been possible. But....I feel like I lost about 30 lbs.


NOT! #-o

Scales don't tell the whole story, I haven't been this "heavy" since my first major weight cut but people keep asking me if im still losing weight........... Trust your belt/waist line

My belt lies to me all the time. :roll:

Seriously....I have a bit of a drinking problem. Water...that is! When I quit smoking back in high school, I started drinking soda. Ended up becoming a habit. About 8-10 months ago, I was able to almost completely eliminate my Dt. Pepsi and replaced it with water. Now...I have to have my water with me everywhere. I might only be sipping it, but I end up drinking between 2-3 gallons of water a day. That, in itself is a huge part of my weight fluxuations. Although I'm constantly in the bathroom....1 gallon of water is 8.25 lbs. I've seen my weight change daily up to 5 lbs while I'm still maintaining the proper "food portions".

Just one more reason I don't trust my scale completely.

I'm thinking you eat a lot of wheat (even "heart healty" whole wheat is wheat) which holds water. Try a week of going wheat-less and feel the difference.

That would mean cutting out my Fritos and Twix bars....right? :roll:

Sorry I've been away everybody, but I am BACK now. I'm in PT 3 times a week and my broken leg is almost all better. I'm ready to start hitting the gym hard again and to get back on track!

 

[one100grand]

1/2 - 226.6
1/9 - 220 - I recorded previously, but didn't post it. I know my beginning of year number was a bit influenced by too much beer and food around the New Year. I know the 220 is an arbitrarily low number compared to where I expect my year should actually start. I'm anticipating my weigh in this week will be around roughly 223.

1/16 - I did not record; I broke my leg on 1/13 and can't exactly stand on a scale. I'm in an aircast and when I'm able to put any weight on that foot, I'll weigh in and post the number up. Unfortunately it doesn't look like I'll be able to get a good jump on the year and I'll probably have some ground to make up as soon right off the bat. It's a long year though and I will stick to it and will get going the right direction.
1/23 - Still can't get on a scale to record weight. I'm still here though and rooting for everyone to achieve their goals!
1/30 - Next week I should be able to get on the scale to record. I'm a little scared, I haven't been eating poorly, but I also haven't been eating great either. If I have a weight loss, I'm pretty sure it will be muscle loss unfortunately.

2/6 - 219.8 - The good news is that I'm able to get on a scale and the numbers are down. I do feel that I'm losing muscle and that's the cause of my weight loss...not anything that I've actually done. Hopefully I'll be fully recovered in a couple of weeks and able to get back to full gym activities.

3/13 - 221.4 - I'm all out on PT and working on recovery.

03/13/2015 - 211.6 Just goes to show that I shouldn't trust my scale. Still feel good.

Three months into my lifestyle change (diet) I'm down 24 pounds and feeling better than I have in a long time.. Long way to go, but every week another pound or so melts away.. I'm actually looking forward to an upcoming physical..

I totally forgot to weigh in this AM. Maybe it's a good thing too after last night's dinner.

 

[RStewart]

You guys are doing great! Persistence is half the battle. I put new batteries in my scales this morning & it seems to be working now. I will start weighing every week & see what happens.
