About…damn…time… 
I had been struggling with the scale for a while now, and wasn’t really making any headway. I had been in the 240s for a couple months, and I was getting really sick of it. So this was nice. I’m out of the 240′s, and I’m only a couple pounds aware from a 30 pound total loss.
Okay, it’s more than nice, it’s freaking awesome!
I did make some changes this past week, like I said I was going to. Overall I don’t think they were huge changes, but apparently they were enough to shock my system and get my metabolism going. I still maybe had one (or two) too many cookies, but I made it work. Almost every meal this past week was a home cooked meal, I practiced more moderation in terms of what I did eat, I incorporated some more fruits and vegetables into the diet, and I didn’t snack as much.
Workout wise, I did alot of walking over the weekend, and I reincorporated some longer ARC Trainer workouts back into the mix. I didn’t do much in terms of running, but I’m hoping to change that this week, as overall my legs are feeling alot better.
It’s really nice to see everything I’m doing starting to really pay off again, especially since I still have a long way to go.
So yeah…WooT!
How have you all done this past week?
Steve,
That is a GREAT number! Almost 5 pounds! WOW!! I’m happy for you, I know you were frustrated last week so you deserved a good number this week. Congrats!!
Thanks, Craig! Hopefully I’ll have some bigger numbers from here on it…but I’ll take any loss I can get
YOU’RE IN THE 230′S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <—-I'm so freakin' excited for you, can you tell?! Ok, no more exclamation points…you are doing an amazing job, Steve, and I hope you know how much I want to use exclamation points right now…you ROCK.
WooT WooT WooT
WooT WooT!!!!! You can use all the exclamation points you want, and I have every intention on using plenty when you weigh in tomorrow
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s awesome. Great job this week. Carry around 30 pounds worth of weights for a little while to remind yourself of what you’ve already done and to remind yourself of what’s ahead.
I was actually seriously considering that, as I have a weighted vest and ankle weights in my closet. It’ll be crazy to put that stuff on and think that I used to carry that 24/7. Just imagine when I’m finally in the 100s (aieeeeeeeee)
You’re rocking now! Keep it up.
I have every intention to, 230s are a great (albeit temporary) place to be.
Congrats Steve, that’s some great progress in the last week – I knew you wouldn’t be stuck for long!
Thanks Brandon! I’m glad I got out of that rut, I was in the 240s for 9 FRICKIN WEEKS! Won’t be letting that happen again!

That is awesome Steve! Congrats. How exciting is it to think that you are almost halfway from where you started to being under 200?
That is super exciting, I can’t wait to see it happen!
Good job on the loss. Giving a good shakeup to the body usually does the trick. I really need to get the vegs and fruits back into my diet too. Usually I am pretty good at that but the past couple of weeks it has been a struggle. I am going to have to work my ass off to make up for the birthday goodies these past 2 days. Yikes!
A shakeup is definitely what I needed, and I’m glad I pulled it off. I know no doubt you will too
I’m glad to here the shakeup worked for you. It can be so frustrating feeling stuck at a certain weight and feeling like you can’t push through the next barrier. I definitely believe the body needs to be kept on its toes, and you’re proof it can work. Congratulations.
Thanks Derek! Here’s hoping I can keep it up!
Nice job, I’m almost in the 230′s myself, well I just got in the 240′s but I think I can reach 230 in less then a month.
All I do is count calories and exercise!
The secret formula is out…
Cheers,
