Nope.
No sodas no sugar in coffee-tea.


Honestly probably just eating more than I need to. Portion control.

Probably need to start tracking calories

I have actually started using an app called YAZIO. Try to get a gallon of water in every day too and that app helps me keep that up.

I track my calories daily, probably not always exact, but pretty close. Definitely helps out with my portion sizes, but at least I get to still eat what I want.

Also try adding some overwhelming stress to your life, seems to have pushed me off my plateau.

No time to eat, no way to go over on calories.

Also it works wonders on the appetite when you're trying to push things over deadlines every day for a month 😬

Ok guys.... I finally started watching what I'm eating back on 8/1. I weighed 222 and today I'm at 207.... that's 15 pounds in three weeks.
I must admit the only thing I've missed is chocolate milk.....

I'm about 8 months into my "journey". Around the holidays last year I was right at 177 lbs, which is 13 lbs over weight for me (I'm 5'8"). Intermittent fasting and just generally not eating as much crap has worked wonders. I also cut out about 90% of the sugary drinks. Most of what I drink now is either water, milk, or zero sugar soda. I might have a regular soda once a week, and I might have a "cheat" crap meal once a week. I've never been much of a breakfast eater, and now I rarely eat anything before noon. I'll have lunch around 12 or 1, a snack in the afternoon after work, do a daily exercise (usually some combination of push-ups and squats/running, and I generally do more on weekends), and then I'll eat a pretty late dinner. From circa Christmas 2017 until now, I've lost 35 lbs. Currently at a pretty lean 142 and look and feel great. Mostly trying to maintain at this point, although I wouldn't mind putting on a few lbs of muscle for a more cut look around 145-147, but I'll have to get back on the weights for that one, which I haven't done in years.

Well, I've got motivation. Oldest son's wedding is in five weeks. I need to lose more than five weeks worth, but I'll do what I can and be happy with it.

Um...volly....did you forget that it was in 5 weeks or did he just happen to schedule it today? :D:p

I originally had my goal to lose 15 lbs by this Friday, it will not happen, but I'm not far off. I should have never set a date, just set my goal of 15 lbs, and when and if I lose it, I'll be happy considering my progress.
