I talked about it with SWMBO, and I was on the fence until I saw the scale this morning. Went to the meeting and re-affirmed what I saw.

281.2 :-) :-)

So, I have the accountability with not only SWMBO, but I know I'll be getting :-)here if I backslide.

So, here's the plan:

Eat right
Ride my bike (once I get it either replaced from Wally World or fixed this weekend) 3 days a week
Get my resistance bands in and do this.
I will also be shaking it up a bit with intermittent fasting if I plateau, or want to speed things up, or just feel like it.

I'll keep everyone updated, and get before pics up tonight.

Having a Special K chocolate Protein Shake for lunch. My boys have basketball practice, so I'm going to do some drills and sprints with them this afternoon.

Good luck brother! Good for you trying to improve yourself!
[Reply]

Good luck!

I really need to do the same. Jumped on the scale this morning myself and saw 288.5!! Holy crap. Doctor thinks I should try and drop some weight. :-)

Best of luck! I know quite a few BOTL(myself included) need to drop some lbs and get in shape. Don't ignore the "Losing weight with AWSmith thread either!"

Start of week 2.

Got my resistance bands in last night. Have stuff to do right now, will use them later this afternoon.

Good luck Jason, sounds like you are on your way :-)

If it were me, I'd just get rid of the damned scale. :-)

Dude 5lbs in a week!!! That's impressive, keep it up bro. YOU CAN DO IT!
[Reply]

Thanks. I really need to get some "before" pics up.

And thanks, Mike. Already feel better.

Lots of options with WW. I love how you can have virtually anything to eat with WW, whereas many diets forbid certain foods entirely. My favorite option for fruit is to get frozen 5 lb bags of mixed fruit from Sams Club and mix with 3 lb bags of the berries for zero points. Another favorite was baked potatoes with spray butter and a bit of light sour cream. You can always alter taste with seasonings to get some more variety out of it.

Awesome job Jason. Keep up the good work. The combination of aerobic (bike) and resistance (bands) will work wonders to drop the lbs. Been reading a lot lately about how a good combination of both are really the best bet for getting in shape.

Keep at it Jason!! :-)

Can't forget the green onions!!

Bad boy this weekend. Ate brisket, sausage, and BBQ chicken, as it was my ML's b-day. Way too much of each. I didn't gain any, though. Getting back on track today.

Stay with it Jason. I need to drop a few lbs as well. I did WW in the past and it's a great way to lose weight in a healthy way. After a few months you will get used to eating less and better and if you eat too much you'll feel like crap. I went about 2 years at one point without fast food and almost puked after having McDonalds one day.

I am sorry, what is WW?
[Reply]

Weight Watchers. I'll keep it up. This new "points plus" system is kinda weird, though.
[Reply]

Good luck man. I recently started my own weight loss idea a few months back. Down 13 pounds currently in 3 months. Nothing drastic, but I'm not really a heavy set person either, 13 pounds is quite a bit for a little guy like me.
