Goal!
South American Soccer Commentator Voice
Gooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllll !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! /South American Soccer Commentator Voice It is hard to believe that through a series of misadventures involving injuries, poor health coverage, bad doctors and bad habits I was 260 lbs back in April of 2002. That came down once I got some orthopedic surgeries I needed and started exercising again. I also tried calorie counting with some success several times, but quit not knowing some things I learned while reading the Hacker's Diet. I started with the Hacker's Diet and this site back in January at about 223 lbs. I'm now at my "pipe dream" goal of 190 lbs, what I weighed toward the end of graduate school. What I find a little bit amusing is that the Hacker's Diet is all about things contemporary fitness gurus talk against. Daily weighings and calorie counting. I found the calorie counting to be easy and not at all obtrusive. About 5 min a day. No worse than counting carbs, grams of fat, or any other of the wacky schemes that get popular every few years. The daily weighings also broke my fear of scales. While I might be slightly disappointed if I run a little high for a day or two, it doesn't psyche me out any more. This is great because that psyching out usually led to avoidance which prevented me from fixing small problems while they were still small. I found an old fitness notebook from college. I think I am going to keep setting new weight loss goals going down about 5 lbs a time and evaluating how I like that weight. I will probably keep going as long as it is liveable, until I hit the outer edge of my BMI, or until I hit one of the low weights in my old weight lifting log from college. We'll see! LOL! Tomorrow I leave for a 5 day convention built around vegan food prepared by Chef Ken Bergeron and served BUFFET style. I think I will stick with my rule of only taking one helping from buffets. I will also hit the gym facilities there, focus on big salads for lunch, and taking it in stride. I'm not counting on losing weight over the next five days and I will be happy to come home about the same weight I am now. I think that is realistic given my past trips to this convention. Most people complain about gaining 5 lbs at the end of this thing. For me it will be a temporary blip, so I am not going to sweat it. _________________ Steve, 5 11, Next Goal: 185 lbs First Goal: 190 lbs : Achieved |

It's a fantastic achievement! I like daily weighing myself, keeps me on top of it, so I'd recommend it for maintenance too if it worked for you losing the weight. -- Cynthia 262/233.5/152 |
