172.5 - Up 2.5 from two weeks ago.
I've been muddling along dealing with this injury in my butt. Little running and lots of sympathy food and beer don't mix. I did quite well dieting this week actually and am ready to turn this thing around. The long holiday weekend will be a challenge.
Not at it at all.
I guess I need to get in this group as I have gained 8 pounds over the last 3 months while laid up with a injury.
Current weight 172.5 (MrPhinNJ and I are the same )
heaviest I feel good at 160
Ideal wieght ( BMI ) 150
That means I need to lose at least 12.5 pounds and then work on the BMI.
This weekend I will be lucky to come out even but plan on getting real serious starting Tuesday.

I am happy to report that I am down a pound this week. Okay, maybe it’s a half-lb, but it’s hard to tell on my non-digital scale, and I prefer to think positively.
I might have been down slightly more, but yesterday afternoon’s thunderstorm caused a power outage at my house until 8pm, forcing us (oh we were sooo unwilling) to eat at Chic Fi Lay, changing my planned dinner of lo-cal-but-bulky salad to World’s Best Chicken Nuggets. Oh well. My willpower can only take so much, you know?
With the 50K next weekend, I really ought to sort of taper this week, but bathing suit season is now upon us, and our family water park pass will drive me out in public in it (gasp), so I probably won’t taper as much as I would normally, and I’m really going to try to control my eating on my reduced-running days.
Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."
And we can't get enough of you. (((((DG)))))
aww, Steve, you just made my day. thanks.
see you in a leetle while man!
Holly, wtg. & .... take care of your self this week ok??? I know you're invincible, but 50K is still 50K.
MrPhinNJ and I are the same
Please no. This world does not need two of me.

I disagree! We could double our pleasure, double our fun......
I am a gazelle-like up 2 pounds. <sigh> Memorial weekend hopefully will include more running and less eating!
Runners run
Trails are hard!
Need a fast half for late fall. Then I need to actually train for it.
I say it's the Memorial Day Weekend - let 'er rip!!! It's all about baseball, hot dogs and apple pie people. Oh, wait - that's the fourth of July isn't it?
I'd like to second dg's thought that a 50K requires some added nutrition, not dieting. You'll probably drop 5 pounds or more after that race, Holly. Take care of yourself.
Hey Kevin - did you see the national news last week where they did a story on obesity in America? There are so many calories in a Five Guys bacon cheeseburger that you could eat TWO McDonald's quarter pounders for the same calories. Calorie count for that Five Guys bacon cheesburger and an order of fries? I think they said close to 3,000.
I was pleasantly surprised this morning. Down 1 1/2 pounds to 123, but still about 5 pounds more than I should be carrying on this 5'3" frame. It's a good thing I'm too old to have babies so no one asks me if I'm pregnant any more.

Anybody else finding MrPHin's avatar a tuff one to handle for this thread??
When I got back from Conference on Sunday, I weighed in at 148.8. Yesterday morning I weighed in at 147.8. Goal Weight: 140 by my next 50k - SOB on July 10.
A quickie BMI check says I'm at 22.5. Scarily too close to the "overweight" BMI. (And I'm wondering about the accuracy of the thing.)
