Back to 200 lbs pic

I am back to 200.6 after a brief tour of 203.6. It took one night to gain and one week to get off. I lost about a 1/4 pound a day. Walking seems to be the secret weapon. Also, I started drinking protien shakes again in the am. This seems to help with appetite control.

Also what seems to help is eating a bowl of oatmeal before I go to bed and when I wake up. I feel more rested in the morning and always seem to lose more weight than when I go to bed hungry. I can't explain of because it goes against what I have read.


I ran two five mile runs in jan and my knees hurt.
Just did 105 consecutive pushups.
Got 7 pullups.

203.6

203.8 was my previous record. I ate too much on Friday and Sunday. I exercised a lot on Sunday... Walking in SF... Ahh the hills of SF. Then I walked 5 miles. Net net...I am down in weight but could be even lower if I did not cheat so much.

Now I am going to get some coffee.

Stubborn 205.0

Found the scale. I am 205.0. I seem to get stuck at 205.0. I got stuck here back in 07 when I lost 70lbs. My body refused to go under 205.

Moved

We just moved. I have been sticking to my diet but the workouts have suffered a bit. I walked four miles last night and got up and did 120 consecutive situps.
I did not lose any weight at my last weigh in-still stuck at 205. But my 34 jeans are getting loose. I bought 32 jeans yesterday.
I plan on doing some pushups and then it is off to work. We have not found the scale yet so I don't know how much I weigh. I assume it is lower than before but it's hard to tell.

Stubborn pound

If I lose one more pound, I will be the lightest that I have been in 13 years. Damn is that pound a stubborn one. My net calories after exercise was 750. Yet I managed to gain .5 pounds. Grrrrrr..... So here I am stuck at 205.5.

205.0

Almost to the first milestone.

205

I weighed in at 205 lbs. This ties me for the lowest. In 2006/2007 I went from 275 to 205. If I loose 1 more pound, it will be the lowest that I have been in 13 years.

Caloric intake for today

1290 calories 163 grams of protein

1290 - 460 = 830 net calories for the day.

If 2000 calories = normal and 1170 is what I did not consume and 3,500 calories = a pound then in 3 days I should loose another pound. If only it really worked that way.... ha ha. My body is very resistant to losing weight once I get below 210 lbs.

I was 206 after the gym work out. (208 when I first woke up, which makes me mad because I was 208 when I went to bed... I usually am about 2 pounds lighter after a good night sleep. Hmmmm.... I did not get a good night sleep.... I think I see a connection.)

Ok so its been over a year since I have written. I got all the way up to 255 then back down to 215 then back up to 245. I am now 207 (after losing near 30 pounds in one month). I just ran 2.1 miles tonight. I have been closely monitoring my caloric intake. I try to make sure that I am under 1500 calories (until I get below 195).

Today I consumed 1725 Calories and 96 grams of protein.
I burned 327 calories running.
I burned another 100 doing calisthenics.
I also played football with my boys for an hour (I am giving myself 100 for that).

So I figure I burned about 527.

My net calories were 1198.

I used this calculator to calculate the calories burned.
