Gosh. You guys make losing weight look so easy. Good job! Good job indeed!

I can't seem to lose more than 3lbs a week, so I guess I will just have to accept it.

I''m on a planned off plan weekend...lol. back to Whole30 on Monday. And yes, I am starting all over and going back to Day 1. So far all this is going perfectly.
I'm not a runner but the weather is getting nicer, daylight savings time is approaching and I'm looking forward to walking outside again. Maybe I'll try the jogging thing and see if it gets me anywhere beside to shin splint land.

I am back in the swing of lifting and calisthenics so hopefully this extra workouts will inch me a little closer. If nothing changes, I will be down to 188 when we leave for S Carolina...I would need to be at 175 to use some of my technical gear so it looks like I will have to buy some new digs. I will be burning many thousands of calories hiking mountains every day and jumping with Pearl Jam.

Good luck everyone! Bear down, grit it out and do that extra set/mile/minute when it's time to quit!

I drove 30 miles into town at 5am this morning to run with my best friend to get him back into the swing and motivated...I think it was a samashing success!

When are you coming to South Carolina? Assuming it's for one of the concerts?

4 adults, 1 baby, 2 60lb boxers, loading up the mini-RV and heading down for Greenville show on the baby's 1st birthday. 4 days of hiking in NC Pisgah and Nantahala and then Columbia as well. Can't wait! I feel like these SC shows are prime for an epic mid-tour show...add in some hiking the balds, bouldering at Rumbling Bald, and a couple of those badass waterfalls and we have the ingredients for a pretty sweetass trip!

Sounds like a great trip planned out. Wife and I travel up that way quite a bit. Love it up there. Nantahala River is great for beginner rafters or rafting with kids (wouldn't take a baby though). Hiking and rafting = great way to burn calories (thread integrity lol). Hope you enjoy your time in SC.

Every time I get back into regular walking / jogging I put on weight instead of losing it.
WTF!

Are you eating more? I know people this happens to and they get very frustrated! Keep moving, it's so good for you!

I have 50 days, I am so excited! I really had a foodie weekend so I'm happy to be back to my normal diet. I had a doughnut and pasta in Philly and a few drinks at the casino. My belly was like what the what are you doing? I ignored it. Back to clean eating and I feel much better.

Nope. My diet is the same. What happens is I stop exercising for a while and when I start again my weight goes up a kg or two. Muscles gained from walking/jogging?

During this time that I am looking for a job running has been a blessing. I challenge myself a little and the sweat is like the job-searching goo sliding off. I continue to the job searching part of the day in a good mood.

Lost an inch on the waist & gained another notch on the ol' belt! And I had a follow-up appt with my doc yesterday. I am now officially cholesterol med free!

Great to see everyone making progress! Keep at it!

Today wasn't great. I ran less than I expected, but I'm still excited about what I have pushed myself to do. I'll try the stationary bike and my iShuffle tomorrow to get some oomph back.
