I'm going to come out of lurkdom and make my public forum statement, too. I always cheat and weigh myself at what should be the lowest possible time--after a run, with no extra anything, etc. So I don't normally run on Thursdays, but since I did today, I have a baseline. Right now, I'm at 190 and I would like to be down to 180-182 by the end of June. Not a huge amount, but it all appears to have landed on my midsection. I noticed that my belt buckle has become too far away from vertical.

Holding steady at 140, even with all the crap I ate over the weekend at Conference. Guess it was the cereal and yogurt for breakfast instead of eggs and potatoes.

I can see 130 in my sights!!!!!! Not there yet, but geeze, this almost no booze and blender kick I'm on is working... On days I'm running, I do 1 blender drink. On a day I'm not, I might do 2 blender drinks or 1 with a carefullly planned lunch or dinner. One meal a day is a free-for-all. Not crazy -- no fried chicken or cupcakes -- but just a relaxing healthy meal with as much portion as I determine I need. I say "almost no booze" because I didn't realy want to enter the summer in abstinence mode. For goodness sakes, why live at the beach then? But I consider whether or not each drink is going to bring me enough pleasure that I'm willing to take on the calories. So far, one glass of wine and one beer has passed muster. I have passed off 2 glasses of wine after a sip 'cause I realized I wasn't going to enjoy it enough to keep the calories. Luckily, my spouse isn't also trying to lose weight. Anyway, I've decided that I can do the blender thing forever. If this is what it takes to get me enough fruits and veggies in my diet, along with helping get me to the right amount of protein without extra fat, so be it. It feels good to have finally gotten a grip on myself.

I'm in the up a pound club. But oh well. With all the travel and eating I did last week, I'd be surprised at anything else, actually.

Come on, now. Weigh right after you get up, after you use the bathroom, in the buff

Poor guy (smiles) Hot out - pool opens this weekend. I tried my bathing suit on...and I looked HAWT wimmin Would mention that I am the biggest loser weight wise this week (but not too proud of that) Pizza and beer - oops, wrong order - Beer and pizza tonight with my Doctor friend...that's his prescription that I need to follow. Oh yeah, we are running together tonight too...will be a good night. Tim

Please say it's not a Speedo! BTW - I like the doctor's orders, only I'll take the pizza and forgo the beer (never acquired a taste for the stuff).

OK, OK. Tough crowd here. I'll weigh in again tomorrow. Of course, this means nothing for dinner Careful with the beer tonight, Timbo--if you've eaten that little for this week, you're going to be a pretty cheap date. Sausage (chunks-not slices) and green peppers sounds good for a start.
