Whew!! Doing better and going back in right direction! 260 would of been devastating! Had to expunge self of sweets, so went low-carb and started doing resistance training at gym with wife. Keeping some sugar-free treats around the job because just today someone brought in mousse pie, pastries, chocolate balls and chocolate chips with Hershey kisses in the middle. Now back on path to get under 247 lbs and go toward goal of 220 lbs. I like I.F. because I eat less and I like low-carb because it gets my sweet monster under control but I have never done both at the same time. I think it's time the two shall meet! Hey, Patriots lost and Minnesota won, so I'm ok with that. Wish the Bills would of won, Allen is a really good QB but very young (23), made some mistakes but otherwise played a great game-He'll learn! Just too bad he is in my division with the JETS!!!

My weight is back to a normal range that varies 2to 3lbs weekly. I had been up a lot pre Xmas but things gravitated back to normal on their own.
Exercise is good so hopefully work will be fruitful in 2020.
Since the Jets were never in it, the next best thing is the Pats are out. Looking forward to their long term demise.
Cheers

Scale's still stuck. It's been a crazy couple of weeks at work, glad to be back to our regularly scheduled programming.
Last week: 184.6

Uh oh! Not good but the ride continues.
Congratulations to both of the Houston teams for winning yesterday in nail biters. The Houston Texans and the former Houston Oilers aka: the Tennessee Titans. Looks like Tom Brady may, I said may, be hanging up his cleats. Rumors still floating around about Jason Garrett and the Cowboys parting ways. Contract expires January 14th and if it's not renewed it is the same as firing him without coming out and saying "You're fired!" He'll get a "gimme a job" job in front office. Speaking of coaches scratching their unemployed butts - Joe Moorehead is GONE from Mississippi State after two years. Be interesting to see who comes in next.
Go forth and have a GREAT WEEK!!
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!! 
I had some regain. The Doc was OK with it, saying I have surpassed their goal, but I know it is from old habits creeping back. But I know I have this tool, my sleeve, and I'm making strides in the right direction.
May the New Year be good for all of us!

Last two weeks have been "Sweets Overload!" All of us on the job have said it is enough and threw out all the extra cookies, cakes and candy!! I really envy those who have no problem whatsoever with the food before them but I am a food addict and like an alcoholic "If it is there I will come!"
Starting today I am back on high-protein, low carb, Intermittent Fasting and exercise. Gonna be a tough 3 days to start (3 days of no carbs gets the cravings out of me-also the Keto flu!) but I'll have to pull through it and get back on track! No use getting bummed out or bemoaning the fact I've gained 10 pounds since my low under 247 in October. Hmmm, what can I learn from this? Just goes to show that it is a WOL and we all have to stay accountable and keep working the program.
I've REALIZE NOW that I've become complacent at around 250 lbs, once I noticed I was having trouble getting and staying below it, I just accepted it. But In looking at 600 lb life "Where are they now?", Dr Now made it clear that it really all comes down to HOW MUCH we eat, so regardless of exercise, I.F., low carb, high protein, I need to cut down on the quantity and eat less. So I've made a new goal to get to 220 lbs, recording my food each day, eating less food with more nutritional dense properties, and exercising at gym in tandem with my walking program.

It'd just be nice if everyone used the same ruler to measure these things.
You got that right!

Minus 8lbs this week.
I had gained a lot of weight over the past month, mostly from keeping an irregular sleep schedule and eating ridicules amounts of sugar (candy). This past week, I cut done on the sugar, slept more consistently and sneaked in a few bike rides when the weather allowed.
The weight loss week was a double benefit since it included a number of major bowel movements that felt fantastic afterwards.

I'd suggest pants with the stretch feature. Many jeans have it even in smaller waist sizes. I wear Lee Jeans most of the time and they stretch and move as needed so I like em a lot. Pretty much my go to pants everyday.

In an awkward in between place on pants.The 34"x29" pants I've been wearing are falling off of me. Unfortunately that style has been discontinued by the manufacturer so I can't just go a size down. Tried two different brands in 32", ranged from cozy to tight. It'd just be nice if everyone used the same ruler to measure these things.
