This thread was really great, SG. It's nice to hear encouragement from others and see that personal "struggles" are actually typical for weight loss.Originally posted by SuperGabers View PostWhy thank you gentlemen.

I ended up at about 7 to 8 pounds down, so not quite -10. I'm up for another round.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

Since I've got another 25 or so to go, I'm in
I may be small, but I'm slow.

I'd be in for another round.
I need to lose at least 10 pounds more.
I weighed myself this morning: 196.
I don't get the ridiculous fluctuations or plateaus. But, hey, I'm in a downward phase right now, so no complaints. I hope I can use this experience to get past the next plateau.
Anyway, that makes 20 pounds since I started this.
I'm hopeful to be by 180 by the end of the summer.

I just did 10 pounds in 8 days and 13 total for April. It sure feels good. My goal is 30 more before we come home for a vacation in June. Hopefully I will stay motivated and focused.A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life. - Mohammad Ali

Just go on a strict diet of all that super yummy Phillipino food you told me about.Originally posted by CJF View PostI just did 10 pounds in 8 days and 13 total for April. It sure feels good. My goal is 30 more before we come home for a vacation in June. Hopefully I will stay motivated and focused.

Ha! I seriously doubt there is a worse national cuisine than Filipino food. There are very few things that taste good in my opinion. Asia has so many great flavors and none come from this country.Originally posted by Portland Ute View PostJust go on a strict diet of all that super yummy Phillipino food you told me about.
I actually did it by working out like a mad man and increasing my whole grain intake significantly. While it is just a recumbent bike, I've done at least 20 miles a day and about 20 minutes of light weight work with high reps and sets. And I'm not doing the bike on wimpy levels, so that helps. I get a pretty good work out. And the whole grains fill me up. I don't have the cravings I've had in the past when working out hard. I haven't felt hungry but I've cut probably 35% of my calories out while increasing my activity levels dramatically. Hopefully it stays that way.A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life. - Mohammad Ali

Nothing lost, but nothing gained

I'm having a very similar experience to yours and I have similar goals. I have spent the last couple of years at around 195 but when my wife trained for a marathon last summer/fall I lost my running time and didn't stop eating like I was running a lot. On New Year's day this year I was at a very unhealthy for me 225. I started cutting on Jan. 2 trying to lose 2 pounds/week. Around April 1 I hit 200 pounds like clockwork but then I couldn't seem to get lower. This week I finally dropped below hitting 198. My goal is 180.Originally posted by Portland Ute View PostI'd be in for another round.
