Good job SR! I hope along Lew's fitness journey he sheds some negativity along with weight!

Oh - yes - short-term - yes for sure! I'd forgotten that - I'm undecided on my fitness. Thus far - my history has time spent with a trainer (in a gym) - used to be a hardcore runner (well sort of - 4 miles every day) - and have played ALTA and USTA tennis - I'm thinking gym minus trainer. Just want a gym that's simple w/o the ridiculous contract. I'll have to shop around, I guess.

I still haven’t been cleared to lift weights or drive since a neck fracture last September. I’m hoping that changes tomorrow. I’ve been doing physical therapy for a couple months but it’s a pretty minor workout. I hung a couple slab doors on Friday that we’re probably 75 or 80lbs apiece, so the strength is starting to come back. I’ve got about 95% range of motion back in my neck so I’m hoping to get the OK to start driving again as well.
It’s easier for me to eat better throughout the day if I get a morning workout in. |

Hit my 2500 calorie target almost on the nose yesterday (2507). It's a down day today so looking at 500 calories.
I weighed in at 220.8 this morning. I started this a week ago at 225.2 lbs so a nice 4.4 lbs loss for the first week. I'm sure only a pound or so is actually fat but I don't care. It's still 4.4 lbs less to carry around at this point. |

Keep going guys - Keep going. Good job - again watch your booze calories. Just a reminder - easy to leave those out.

I know its not popular for some people but if you want to lose weight as fast as possible running is your simplest tool. Its not rocket science and you can do it anywhere.
Aside from swimming you burn more calories running than doing anything else. Its all about time maximization. If you lift to build muscle and also run you will get the best of both worlds. Burning 500 calories 4 days a week running will allow you to drop another .75lbs per week or more. And frankly there are a ton of ancillary benefits to running (duh). If running is a stretch, start out biking. Still only get about 50% of the calorie burn in the same amount of time compared to running though. |

weight up today to 223 I guess that's normal - water? Not going to worry about it - eyes on the goal still.

As for the OP topic, I had a bad week but Monday is my pivot day. Back to that grind. I did get some clothes from Germany (non-vanity sizing mind you) on Friday and I fit the 31 waist with room to spare. I think I'm at my goal as far as pants size but now I want to hit 180. I keep hitting about 184 and plateauing but im gaining muscle mass. Maybe I need to do some kind of a cut? I don't understand the whole cycling thing. |
