The official diet and nutrition thread

My goal is to exit the "obese" BMI category, which in my case is 220. I have 83 pounds to go.

You and Waup are racing down that hill. Keep up the good work.

As an aside, my youngest was not eating her French fries last night for dinner, so as a father, I assumed the time honored tradition (nay duty) of finishing her food. As I started, my wife scolded me, “stop eating her food, you don’t need any more!” Ouch, apparently I need to start walking too.

Nice work, GM! And per the President's personal physician [important to maintain our Trump-centric focus], you're no longer obese. Two days ago his doc gave us a purely objective, fact-based assessment of His Immenseness' physical condition, describing him as "slightly overweight."

Praised Be!

One of the things I've also tried to do is to look for opportunities to walk. The little HOA gym I lift weights in is a half mile away, so I walk to and from. The track I run at is two miles away. I don't walk, but I do ride my Xootr (like a razor scooter for big kids) . And I've started walking to lunch if it's within a mile of my office. I eat delicious tacos and burn all the calories getting there and back. Win-Win.

Still pickleball and counting calories? Or something different?

I don’t directly calorie count. I eat meals from the clean simple eats cookbooks. Their meals are all about 250-350 calories, so I definitely keep that in mind when eating.

In addition to pickle ball, I take my 1-year old for walks frequently at night. I jog once per week, just to see how much further I can go in a set time. And then I do some high weight, low rep strength training 2-3x per week.

Another 5 pounds down. I've really settled into 2-3 pounds lost per week. I'm exactly 1/3 of the way to my goal.

If I average 2.25 pounds lost per week, I'm 40 weeks from my goal weight, but I anticipate that I'll start to struggle as my caloric intake decrease.
