spring to summer weight loss challenge

Great idea.

I'll be chiming in, but won't be on the spreadsheet unless you decide to expand with other ways to measure. If not, that's cool with me. My main interest is trying accountability beyond my own head. In mid-July, 2016, I began work on losing what I'd regained over a long period. More recently some concerning health issues came to light and are making eating properly a huge challenge on the emotional front. My weekly chime-in will be to report in some fashion (haven't decided yet) how I've done with food choices. I'm more concerned about that than in actual numbers on the scale for now. For example, I've not regained because, after a couple three days of eating poorly, I pull back from the brink to even out on the scale.

I've already filled in today's food tracker with a good plan. The goal and trick are to obey it. I suppose that I'll report on how I did through the week next Sunday.

P.S. By choice I do not have a home scale. As long as I eat properly on a regular basis, I've always known I was losing. I weigh only in doctors' office and we know that their scales vary a pound or three. Considering that my ultimate goal is another 75, I don't care about such a small variation.

Woohoo! Thanks! Though it could just be a "skinny mirror". Hit my surgiversary while I was traveling so was a hotel mirror.

Starting weight 244.4

Being early on, clothing sizes probably won't change much for a while, so I'm mostly participating to stay on track with protein and water and see where that takes me on the scale. And to cheer on others!

Sounds good. Weight added. You may want to do measurements if you haven't started those yet. Sometimes seeing those numbers drop helps you through the stalls. That was my experience anyway.

I'll try to get pix from current clothes. I'm in a loose 14, on the verge of a 12.

I gotta clean that mirror. Looks like I have specks on! And I don't go out with that top looking like that. It's drapey. I just pulled it back so there was a fitted look. Didn't want to take it off and frighten everyone!
