Good job, Harry. Jerry, while you wish you were 191, I wish I was 6 feet tall. You can lose weight, I can't grow.

I couldn't weigh myself before breakfast and coffee today so I was not surprised that I had no weight loss this morning. I was equally surprised I had no weight gain!!

For dinner, Barbara and I split a grilled cheese and lobster sandwich and we each had a glass of wine. (So much for Dry January, but I'm back on the wagon.) For breakfast I had a broccoli and egg "thing" (looked like a cup cake) and three slices of bacon. I had no time for exercise yesterday or this morning.

Today i started a biggest Loser contest at work, so I have added incentive to stay on track.

Added 5 pounds in December which puts me at 195.

to put it in perspective Bill. I was nibbling at 260 as in 259.8 this past weekend and was 256.4 this morning.
I'm lighter in the morning by 2-3 lbs. so 191 yeah that looks good like a mirage on the horizon.

I would love to be 175-180-ish.

It is very doable, Jerry. My brother recently lost 65 pounds and is still dropping. You can do it too!

Yesterday I had some sort of broccoli and egg thing and three slices of bacon for breakfast. I then had two varieties of salad with grilled chicken for lunch and dinner. I did ten minutes on the elliptical and 25 minutes on the treadmill. Today's weight is 189.3. I celebrate being out of the 190s.

I'm working from home for a bit this morning and then taking the rest of the day to drive down to the Cape and play with two of my boats. I like to find projects I can do at night. I'll bring home some fishing rods and boat parts that all need to be cleaned up and/or serviced. I'm hoping to stay on track as I fight the cravings for snacks, in the evening, especially.

I might not belong here.. because im 135.. but Ive had a the opposite problem my whole life of not being able to gain weight.

I eat around 8 small meals a day, instead of 3 or 4 larger meals Basically a good size breakfast, and then small 100-400 calorie snacks, and then one big meal for dinner. Snacking, or grazing instead of meals, will help speed up your metabolism.

I've been able to get up to 155/165 before, but only when sticking to 3-4 large meals, and no snacking, vs turning my meals into smaller snack size. As soon as I stop and graze, I loose any gains I've made. Rate and amount of consumpsion really effect digestive efficiency. Just, eating like this makes me feel tired and sluggish, I feel much more energized grazing. It feels more natural to me.

Sorry if I am in the wrong place. Just figured I'd share, my opposite struggle of holding weight on, as it may help some bring weight off..

Well Deck I don't know your age but there was a time when I fit that description.
I was 6'1" and 150-155 pounds. If there was food I ate it. upwards of 6-8,000 calories a day.,
then at about 27-28 the world changed. my physiology evolved and I got behind a desk.

A disappointing weigh in this morning. After a day of working outside on my boat, two salads, 10 minutes on the elliptical and 30 minutes on the treadmill, there was no change. So far today I have had one salad and have been running around the house working on small projects. At half time of Texans/Colts I'll have dinner and hit the 'mill after. I drank more water today. Maybe that will help.

Well, I've had a set back too. Lunch and dinner out yesterday. Then dinner leftovers for lunch today. I did spend 30 minutes on the treadmill and 50 sit ups this morning.
