I'm really happy because I got super motivated to lose my unwanted pounds....not hard for me once I get motivated.

Started out at 162 pounds after my back surgery and recovery

Goal weight of 147 pounds for my running and racing

151 this morning before I ran my 6 miler

  I'm not sayin'

AAAUUUGGGHHHH!!!!!

'nuff said

Still holding at 130, which is 10 lbs heavier than where I was at the start of last summer. But then again that's 10 lbs lighter than where I was six months before that. Maybe that's where my body needs to be? Eh, I have clothes that fit and I don't look all that bad... so I won't obsess about the scale.

Tim - you thinkin’ you’re overweight is like me thinking I’m too fast. I sincerely hope you do get good and fat some day so you can appreciate what it seems you are enjoying with weight control like I could until recently.<<<(old/old)>>>>

I would thank you for the incentive of the thread to help me deal with all the good food over here in Japan that’s got me to another lifetime weight PR again.  Even though I’m eschewing rice and most noodles it doesn’t seem to help so I’ve bit-the-bullet and turned over a new leaf. I’m going to stop eschewing and eat anything I want because I know in another week or two I won’t be able to eat it like this until the next trip, probably not until next year, if then.
.
In fact, in order to have a goal to work on, I’m going to try to get as heavy as possible.  Here’s how I started the new leaf at the breakfast all-you-can-eat breakfast smorgasbord at the hotel down in Osako where I”ll be for a week or so.  The cook told me they have at least 50 items, not counting everything that goes into them, e.g. when he asked what I wanted in my omlet, I started picking and choosing until he suggested I just add them all (onions, chives, cheese, ham, mushrooms, etc. ). 

ps I’m still not brave enough to count everything I tested. Fortunately, they were all small size pieces and, except for the fish, I only had one little piece of most everything else. I might have go one wrong but that’s all

ps - I guess it’s no surprise but this is the only hotel I can recall that has bathroom scale in every room.

pps - I think it was an apricot roll or something but it tasted kind funny until I realized I was eating the tinfoil liner on the bottom.
