Friday weigh in thread (suns out guns out challenge 8/31/2025)

[KoachKrab127]

You weight loss is very similar to my weight loss the last few months and we are very close with current weight. Do you mind telling me your height?

Not at all. I am 5 ft. 9 in.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Not at all. I am 5 ft. 9 in.

5’7 here. I was 5’9 in my 20’s but no more.

 

[KoachKrab127]

5’7 here. I was 5’9 in my 20’s but no more.

How old are you? I’m 37.

Ah yes, I peaked at 5’8 3/4”, but that was Then.

I return to weigh ins next Friday, after being off since July I believe

How did your foot (? ankle?) heal up?

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

How old are you? I’m 37.

Turn 60 on Dec. 31. “160 by 60”. Twelve pounds to go in 28 days. Doable, but I’m going to have to increase the exercise levels. I will not lose it by eating insufficient calories, it’s just not a healthy way to do it.

Perfect. Avoided surgery. thanks!

If I don’t make it to 160 by 12/31 then I’ll just change my catchphrase to “160’s by 60”. I’m almost there.

Same year??? Wow, congratulations!

Thanks! I'm pretty proud of myself. Your mind can be a powerful thing if you control it. Once I was able to block out all the bad cravings and ignore them (took about 2-3 weeks, those first couple weeks were awful lol) it honestly just became habit. Just know your body's limits. I was on a low mostly protein based diet for the first 3 months or so. Plus I had a simple exercise goal of 5 miles a day of fast paced walking. Honestly didn't do that much jogging at all. Weight melted off. Now I'm starting to eat closer to a normal diet to see if I can maintain weight. I'm happy being in the 160s moving forward.

I reached my goal of being in the mid 170s before my vacation (which starts tomorrow). I hope I don’t gain too much weight over the holidays. I am definitely going to be having a few egg nogs, yorkshire pudding, and Lindt Lindors. The key is savoring small portions. If I’m still under 180 after the holidays, I’ll consider that a win.

Weight fluctuates by +/- 2 pounds daily. The most accurate way to weigh yourself weekly is to weigh yourself once per day, everyday day of the week at the same time each day, and at the end of the week, take the average.

Ah yes, I peaked at 5’8 3/4”, but that was Then.

Actually I was also around 5’8 1/2 to 5’8 3/4 but rounded up for Driver Licenses,etc.

We were both very close in maximum weight and weight loss this year and now are even the same height. . We are mirror images. Lol!
