Are we winning yet?

 

5 eggs scrambled, with chopped jalepeno and red onion, dribbled sriracha chili sauce.

Yeah, I know half a dozen is an even number, but I woulda hadda reach in fridge and open next carton, so .... 5 is the new 6 ;)

I think this i  a great thread!  I've personally watched @bikermutt07 lose over 100lbs, back then I was the "skinny one"...lol.  But as we know life happens and we lose focus on one thing and zero in on another.  I'm in the process of retiring after 23+ yrs in the USAF, so focus has been getting a real job...lol.  I'm on terminal leave now, and enjoying time off with the kiddos over the summer months, but also notice I've picked up 20-30 lbs since my last pt test.  What's worse is I pay a membership for the YMCA that is obviously being squandered, that money could've been spent on leather if i'm not using it...so back to it.  I was 270lbs at the start of July, I'm down to 258lbs this morning, and want to get back to where I was in December at 225lbs.  

Official retirement date is 1 Sep 2019, my goal is to be back to ~235lbs by then...I think it's definitely possible.  I have destressed as I have a job lined up starting in Aug, and have been getting to some projects that I've been putting off.  

How is everyone else doing so far?

That is not always a bad thing...I do have a "target weight", but if i'm not at that exact weight, but I fit into a certain pair of jeans that haven't been worn for a couple years then i don't really care.  If you feel better and your overall health is improved, weight is just a number.

Yup, I'm already past that.  Aint too worried about the number on the scale.. long as its honest weight.  And aint too concerned about the number on the barbell, long as its legit effort.

Now I'm up to trying to tell myself AGE is "just a number". ;)

Yep, most all of it was gone in 6 months. I have been fighting the last 20 pounds every since. :rolleyes2:

But, I can live around 200.

I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.
